ALEX A NDRIA.

AN UNFoRTUNATE RRsEMBLASCE The
law books are full of instances where men have
suffered from their resemblance to criminals
but one of the most distressing to the friends
and acquaintances of the persons concerned,
has lately happened in connection with the
unfortunate likeness of a young lady, who has
been in the habit of visiting this city and Wash
ington, to a female who has been long notorious
III both municipalities. Some few weeks ago
twas reported at the lady's home that she had
been seen upon the streets of Washington
acting in manner which surely indicated in
toXication, and in company which would as
surely blast her reputation for ever. The sad
story was whispered abroad, with that under
ground rapidity which only such stories know
when it reached person who happened to know
that, ON the day OF the alleged exhibition she
was certainly not within 80 miles of the CITY.
Then inquiries began to be made, and il was
found that several of her friends were well
aware of most striking resemblance between
the lady IN question, ana noted Cyprian, who
often makes display in public, and whose
name is a household word at police head1uar-
tiers. The victim of this most unfortunate like
ness is lady Of rare virtues and accomplish
ments, and has manv friends in our city and
neighborhoOd, who have heard with indigna-
ton of the ISLANDERS which her misfortune have
set afoot.-SentiHet, last erenipg.
SHOOTING AFFAIR.-A disturbance occurred
at the canal basin yesterday afternoon between

which the latter was shot but not badly hurt
All the parties engaged were arrested, brought
TO police headquarters, and examined by the
mayor and Justice May. From the evidence
elected at the examination, it appears that one
of the white men while drunk got aboard the
boat on which the colored man was empIoyetl
and upon being cursed and driven OFF by the
latter went aboard his own boat to get a club
when the colored man produced a gun, but had
hardly done so before the other white man
snatched up gun likewise, and blazing away.

legion in this city who resort to every dodge to
keep from paying their honest debts, telling
their creditors they have lost hundreds and
thousands by these banks, when they well kno "
they never had dollar in any bank in their
