The new rooms of the FrOhsinn singing society,

exercises appropriate to the initiation of the
jolly scenes destined 10 transprc within the sew

shall have done with them. The rooms include
all Of the original Waldo block above the
ground floor, and consist of large hall, with
the stage at one end, and two antc-roOms on

Misses Meyer and Mayerbcrger. and Mcssrs.

ANOTHER PIOUs FRAUD.-A man who would
like extremely well to have people think him a
Baptist ministerwas arrested in this city ycster-
day and is now behind the CRATES, deprived of
his sermons and sanity reputation. He spent
Wednesday night in the family of wc.known
citizen, piouSly pretending to friendship through
a third party in another city. His actions led
the gentleman to think all was not as ii should
be, and information was given at the office of po-
lice which led to his capture and further de-
velopments. He gave his name as Charles II.
Cutler at first; but denied it in a few
minutes and said it was Walker,
which he also denied in less than
an hour. 1t appears that he has been in the
city before, and was skuIIling around to avoid
the officers, having arranged TO leave the city
on freight train when arrested. He at first
denied having any baggage; but an officer had
seen him leave it in shop near the Junction
depot, so that lie exploded, and he proceeded to
fix up others.
In hunting him up, the fact was brought out
that he had called upon Rev. Harris X. Greene,
at the Dread, and on going there it was found
by the officer that he represented to Mr.. Greene
that be was a Baptist clergyman out of funds
trying to reach his family in Richmond,
Va, from which he had been absent
about six weeks. Mr.. Greene believed
his story, and gave him five dollars,
with which to reach New York, in the
form of check on the First national bank
This check he tore up and threw into the bot
tom of the wagon while being taken to the sta
tiou. His valiSe contained a supply of ser
mons, and his personal appearance was of the
ministerial order, tall and sim-rathcr of the
Aminadab Sleek sort. A man from Boston says
that the same imposter preached last Sunday
evening in Kneeland street chapel, where he col
lected eight dollars, and engaged to deliver a
temperance lecture the following Fridoy evening
When arrested he Ihad fifty dollars with him.
which he accounts for in various unreasonable
ways.
