The CASE OF SAMUEL STRoSG.-A Reqmsi-

for Mr.. Samuel Strong. The Chief Justice
dIrec led a warrant to issue for his arrest. At

EPIcUREs who pass T. NJ. Harvey's IRON
front corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 18th
street. and notice in the show windows the
tasteful and tempting display of she'll fish,
game and other delIcacies from the alter and
the land, need no other evidence of his capa-
billy as a caterer. But Harvey like other dis
ungaished characters did not spring into
greatness all at once. His soubriquet of the
'-Oyster King" was earned only after many
years experience. We have Just read in an old
number of the Richmond Whig printed before
the war, first rate notice of the American
Hotel in that city, in which occurs the follow
ing passage: "Mr. Thomas NJ. Harvey, Of
Washington, is the caterer, and the generals ship
which he displays in providing for the
palates of boarders and soiourners demonstrates
his experience in this department of a frst-class
hotel. He Is always on the Iook out for some-
thing nice, and generally manages to obtain it,
The dinner, yesterday, was fit tor congrega-
ton OF princes, and the garniture of the table
worthy of profound admiration. Oysters on
the half shell were exposed on large salyers
decorated InvItingly with roses, herbs" &c
Then follows the bill of fare which more than
justifies the above comments. That Harvey
has not lost any of his power since his Rich
mond triumphs our readers may satisfy them
selves by visit to his establishment.

Nor VERY MIRACULOUs.-In this practical
age when the press is diffusing useful knowl-
edge among the people and daily showing up
humbugs Of all kinds, we must acknowledge
that we have very little sympathy with those
who are green enough to throw away their
money on gift enterprises, quack medicines and
other ingenious methods devised by the many
professors Of the art OF getting something for
nothing, TO extract lucre from the pockets of a
too cred ulous public. A few weeks since
Doctors cd Dodge and Evans arrived in this
city, and with grand flourish of trumpets
announced that they had come here TO heal the
ssek,and were ready to make the blind to see,tne
deaf to hear, the dumb to talk and the lame 10
walk, even to shoulder their crutches and run,
and all this merely by touch of the hand or
"twlst of the wrist" 1t might have been sup
posed that they promised too much to receive
credence in an Intelligent community. Not so.
For weeks, day after day, CIrusi's Hall. 1.-THE
Odd WashInston Theatre buildingl corner of
Eleventh and streets, was crowded, some of
the sick and decrepid being Oh the ground and
in line as early as the spectators N Dickens
tickets. Young and old, rich and poor, white
and black, men, women, and children; soma on
foot, in rags; some in carriages, clothed In pur-
pie and fine linen, attended the popular ievees
Of these modern miraele-workers. They pro-
fes sed 10 cure the poor gratis for two hours
daily as they came, hence the early scramble
for places in line. Those with money in their
purse would have no chance mere, but they
would see the operators practice on the ere
duhty OF some poor ignor3nt sick man,
whose faith would be great enough TO make
HIM believe he felt better of his rheuma-
osm or la-neness, and would seek an in
seryiew with the doctors at their private
cons ultiDg room over Mohun &c Bestor's Book
store Here the practice was varied. From
i've to enc hundred dollars, according to the
panent's pecuniary constitution and credulty
was required TO - paid in advance in each
case-no other arrangement, such as paying
when cured, would be listened tO-and thus
these experts pat money IN their purse and pa
uents multiplied as patience decreased, until
hey thought ~ time to leave, which they ac-
cOrdiDgly did day OF two since. much TO the
creditors, who are still haunting the places
where they Were victimiZed, but the operators
are over the hills and far away. In the case OF
Mr.. Carusi, they added insult to injury. They
owed that gentleman S3j tor rent of hall, and
had treated him for some trouble he complained
OF in hls head. They sent him in liquidation
OF his claim- complimentary" ticket of his
treatment, in which the disease under which
be was suffering was described as s.fool on the
brain"
