LEE WHITEHURsT.--lt will be remembered
that when the store Of George I. Jackson
X Co. was robbed. Inst week four parties
were arrested charged with having COM
United the deed, and, after preliminary
examination, committed for trial. One OF
!hc parties run down by the police, and
who was caught in the act. of getting rid of
the money, was Il young man who gave his
name rs Lee Whitehouse, and his place Or
residence as Richmond, Va. The Rich
mcnd papers republished an account Of the
robbery. and on yesterday The police re-
ccivcd Il letter from sergeant of police III
Richmond giving Il short sketch of Lee
Whtehurst, OF that place, whom the writer
supposed to be the same with Nhtehouse.
The writer states that Whitehurst is a noto-
rious scoundrel, who has frequently been
before the courts of his State for the COM
mission of criminal offences. and that one
of his confederates is now serving term in
the Virginia penitentiary.
In 1866 Whitehurst turned up in Atlanta,
and was concerned there in very bold
bank MISUNDERSTANDING the National Bank
IN the day time and snatching up package
containing several thousand dollars, with
which he attempted to escape, but was
caught by 4 clerk as he was jumping from
the window. He was tried, convicted, sem
fenced to receive thirty-nine lashes on his
bareback and five years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary. He received the whip
ping, but made his escape from the cars
while on the way to BiilledgeviIle. He is a
very skilnul and daring thief, and is well
known in this character in Richmond. Par
ties in this city from Richmond who have
seen the prisoner (Whitehouse) are OF the
opinion that he is too young man to be
the same with Whitehurst. The truth of
the matter can, however, be very easily

PERILs OF THE TRAPEzE-[From the
Kansas City Bulletin, March l. lELaSt even-
ing, while crowded house was witnessing
the daring trapeze performances of the
Marietta Sisters at the Walnul-street The
atre, the audience was suddenly thrown
into the most intense excitement by seeing
the younger of the slsters-"little Rosa
e"-lose her balance and fall headlong
from the roof of the theatre. She had
twisted herself around the hanging trapeze
bar, and hanging by her feet, head down.
wards. when, in attempting to raise herself
UP again, her feet slipped from the bar and
she fell with heavy ''thud" to the floor Of
the theatre. An exclamation of horror
went forth from the audience, and rush
was made to raise the PROSTATE child. She
was carried behind the scenes, and medical
aid sent for.
II was found on examination that little
Resale had escaped, as by a miracle, any
serious injuries, and when q few minutes
atterward the child passed out with tear
full face, and bandased arm, the audience
gave vent to their sympathy by hearty
peal Of applause. ~ -..

LONDON, March S.-The Times, comment

TIE EDUCATIONAL INTEREsTs.-The State
Board of Education have to their credit in
the State Treasury, or soon will have, about
o half million of dollars, which they are
anxious to commence distributing, but find
an unexpected difficulty in the; way. 1t
seems that large number of county trea.
surers who were elected last summer
have not qualified, being unable to give, the
necessary security, which is very high, and
consequently many of the counties have
no officer who is authorized to receive the
money. This state of things, however, can.
not last long, as the county judges have the
power to iii vacancies until the next regu'
lar election. ..sra,. .rf.s.. .-.--.. .3f ~ !
