A STORY OF AN ACTOR.-Mackay, the actor,
was once gunmaker in Hartford. One day,
while working at the bench vigorously showing
a twelve-inch bastard file, with no one present
but single fell0w-workm kman, he suddenly drop
ped his file, sprang back 4 few feet, struck the
attitude that Macbeth is supposed to have as
sumed in the dagger scene, and repeated the
blood curling words in the text, in voice hOl-
low, solemn and impressive. with features
whereon was painted all the agony of tor
tured mind, and accompanied with gestures so
strikingly true to natare that his fellowwOrk-
man was aSt0nlshed st.. e- .ss
He was more than that. He was thoroughly
frightened He had never been to theatre
in his life, and consequently was butlittle pre-
pared for this sudden clap of theatrical thun-
der He supposed that his companion had
been stricken with insanity, and to his mind it
was not pleasant thought to be cooped up in
a room with crazy man. But how should
he escape2 That was the question. The OBJ
iect of his dread was between him and the
door, and he dare not pass him.
They were on the second floor, and escape
by the window was too dangerous to attempt.
All this passed through his mind so quickly
that the young tragedian had only got to the
words, "Come let me clutch thee" when the
frightened mechanic hastily retreated to a far
corner Of the room. where there was stack
of gun-barrels, and. cutching one, placed him
self in n defensive posture, with a look so de-
termined and yet so horror, stricken, it seemed
to say, IF you do clutch me, or attempt to
do so, l will knock your brains out with this
gun-barrel." lrs .5Ae t-# -
He kept his eyes fastened on the speaker
and breathlessly watched every motion, and
maintained the same striking attitude until the
close Mackay had been soEwrapped up in
the recitation that he had not taken in the
scene here described, but as he concluded he
embraced the situation of affairs at a glancs,
and said, Why, Jack, what's the matter with
you?" 1a
"The matter with me; nothing!" exclaimed
Jack Indignantly; "but I'd like to know what
in thunder is the matter with you?"
A mutual explanation took place and hear
ty laugh followed.

Isaac Meyer and Matthew yillar were arrested
yesterday afternoon by Detectives simington and
Farley in Sixth street. They. are charged with
having committed q burglary in Rhinebeck,
Dutchess county, N. Y. ten days ago. Suspicion
was frst cast upon these men by the arrival OF an
offlcer from Rhinebeck. Captain Irving detailed
Detectives Simington and Farley to work mp the
case, and yesterday afternoon, when the officers
went to their residence they found the birds Within
When the detectives made known their business
Meyer rushed from the room and endeavored to
escape, Detective Simington pursued him and got
the scoundrel on the sidewald. The moment
Meyer felt the onicer grasp him by the shoulder
he pulled out long butcher knife and made
dash for the oflcer. Simlngton on seeing the knife
brought out, drew his pistol and was on the point
Of shooting down the thief when Meyers wife,
who had followed the of1cer 10 the street, nung
herself upon the body OF her husband and begged
OF the detective not to shoot hlm. Oficer Sim
ington, being unwilling to hurt the woman, put his
tragedy was going on Detective Farley was the
principal figure in O similar one. Villar followed
the example OF his daring comrade. Being unable
to rum down the stairs, for the ofhcer barred his
lowed him, and both lighted on the sidewalk at the
same moment Quick as lightning, villar drew
knife and made plunge at the officer. Farley was
as quick as he was, and brought pistol on O level
that the other threatened his life. Mr.. viar see.
ing the law was too much for him and that the de-
tective was q brave and fearless man, as well as
mysterious and cunning detective surrendered.
He was brought to Police Headquarters at the same
time as his cOmrade, and both were locked up by
Captain Irving. Later in the afternoon they were
sent back to Rhinebeck, where they will, no doubt
meet the reward OF their work.

Both Bodies Recognized-IIow the Boilers

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 20, 1872
Governor Lewis sent q Communication to the
boilers to-day promising CO operation with them
in legislation. Governor Lindsay, before retiring,
sent his message to the regularly constituted Sen
ate and House in session at the Capitol.
1t thus turns out that both bodies have received
gubernatorial recognition. The boilers were WITH
out quorum in either house. but by admitting
Baker as Senator nom Morgan county, Chisholm
as Senator from Limestone county, Derenas as q
Senator from Marcngo county, and Miller as
Senstor from Bulkler and Conecut counties-none
OF whom held certificates or other credental-they
made up the necessary quorum.
on Senators holding certificates nor did any one
have ofncial knowledge OF their claim 10 seats as
Senators until they appeared and were sworn In.
Among the boilers at the United States Court room
the same rule prevailed in getting up quorum
in their House OF Representatives, men enough
having been there admitted without credentials
to do This action Of Governor Lewis is severely
criticised by the people, who say that he has
assumed to create Legislature where, for want OF
q quorum, none existed before. Much excltement
exists but the Legislature at the Capitol having In
both branches been called to order by the
officers and means provided by the con.
stitution OF the State, and being thus composed
only OF men holding regular certificates OF election
and having been officially recognized by Governor
Lindsay, who was Governor OF Alabama when the
Legislature assembled and who sent his message to
and approved bills passed by them, are deter
mined to hold their organization, relying on the
regularity and legality OF their course and the
sense OF justice OF the federal government.

An alteration occurred between some boys at
Melrose. Westchester county, on Thursday after
noon, which resulted in one OF them william
Maher, aged thirteen. being shot and fatally in
jured by Simon A. Rehim q lad twelve years old.
On the day above named 1t appears that the

lowed by number OF boys from the city,
bringing up the rear Of the excursOnists. These
latter were denied admission to the park, and on
this account, as Is alleged, caused considerable
annoyance by their persistent efforts to enter the
grounds. Young Rehim, who was employed in
bowling alley connected with the park, was sta
toned at side entrance for the purpose of keep
ing out the juvenile crowd already Indicated.
According to his own statement, Rehim having
been

single -barrelled pistol and lodged bullet in the
back OF Maher. When the shooting became known,
the wounded boy was conveyed by the police to
the once OF a neighboring physician, who, after q
cursory examination, pronounced the wound
fatal, and recommended that he be at once con-
veyed to his home at 6S Henry street, New York.
He was accordingly taken there, to the consterna-
tion OF his parents, whose grief on receiving their
son in dying condition was indescribable.
The lad Rehim was arrested by the MOrrisania
police and locked up, together with James Conklin
youth, who are held as witnesses. Rehim has re-
sided with his parents on Boston road, Merose,
and does not understand English, having been only
few months In this country. The father Of the
injured boy called on the MOrrisania police yester.
day afternoon, and informed them that his son was
sinking rapidly.

While some workmen were engaged making al
terations in q church situated near Bronx
vile, little station on the Harlem Rail-
road, in Westchester county, and about
fifteen miles distant from New York. they acci-
dentally discovered, q day or two ago, the head
quarters Of gang Of burglars in the attic
of the edifce. It may be mentioned
that the modest place OF worship indi-
Gated stands in an isolated grove, about hall
mile from the railroad and within the limits OF
the town OF East Chester. The attic Of the church
has never been used for any purpose, and the only
access TO it from the body Of the edifce was
by means OF step-ladder employed only
by the sexton when he climbed to the interior Of
the spire for the purpose OF ringing the bell.
While efecting some alterations IN the wall at the
opposite end OF the building to that In which the
belfry was situated the carpenter found that the
attic had been used as o
