AMUSING INCIDENTS. -When it became
known, yesterday, that the Deputy Sergeant Of
Richmond was in this city for the purpose Of
summoniug talesmen, from which to obtain a
Jury to try Grant in Richmond, for killing H.
Rives Pollard, there was considerable conster
nation among the freehoders, and on the
streets, and in the counting rooms and Stores
strange men were eyed with suspicious ganees'
and purposedly avoided, and that generous
hospitality and urbanty for which our peope
are proverbial, seemed to be entirely lorgo''en'
M STRANGER was welcomed and clerks were
stationed at the doors, to the neglect OF Gus
TONERS TO give warning to the propretorS OF
Tho onnroach of any strange looking man.
good Joke is told of a merchant in h'9h
standing, who does business at the lower end
If King street, who was in the counting room
of one of his fellow merchants, on Union street,
when the dreaded Sergeant made his appear
ance. and summoned the "healthieSt and one
of the finest looking men he had seen, upon
which the King street merchant made most
precipitate retreat, without even the usual
parting salutations, FASTENED to his own store
house, and there got behind pile OF salt, where
he was kept in the cold, by amischieVous clerks
for several hours, each time he essayed to come
forth the clerk warning him that the Sergeant
was lust in sight Another merchant, pronounced
by the Sergeant to be 'the most benevolent,
kind hearted, portly. and aceolhty looking man
that he had met wit was captured, and
finding that no excuse he could offer would get
him of determined to procure substitute, and
offered 500 for one. The offer was soon taken,
and the substitute marched up ndprcscn,ed
to the Sergeant, by the principal with an air
OF satisfaction, but to their great CONSERVATION,
both principal and substitute were notified
that they would be wanted, AMI both were
taken. 1t is a grave legal question whether
tne substitute will be entitled to receive the
800 At another store the doors were locked,
and The occupants securely slowed away out OF
sight. At another store, the Sergeant appear
inc with police officer, was taken for BaIh-
more drummer, selling goods without license,
and it was supposed was looking for iIiend to
get him out of the scrape. The delusion was
soon dispelled when be made Known his busl-
ness, but the merchant Vas excused on account
of "age." 1t is understood that city official
was secreted in blacksmith shop during the
entire evening to avoid the Sergeant.
