TUESDAY, came 1f. NJ. rathar. didn't come

been IN a state of suppressed excitement In
authorization OF The pleasure TO be be de-
rived from the exhibition, ever since the
announcement. so that when the doors were
opened last evening the hall was soon
crowded to its utmost capacity with eN-
pectaut men. women and children. The
circulars stated the performance would
commence AZ o'clock, but owing to great
deal oi apparently unnecessary delay. II
vas considerably after that hour when the
first part Of the performance commenced,

came evidentthe whole business was fraud,
and AS the price Of admission was equal to
that generally asked by trst-claas exhibit
tons 1t wasn't long iii me spectators began
10 show signs Of disappointment and dis
gust, which gradually increased till a raid
VAS made on the troupe for the purpose Of
eleotinr them from the hall, when 4 scene
Of confusion ensued which dehes deHcrip-
zion. The troupe, numbering some seven or
eight colored persons. under the leadership
Of white mAn, In their attempts to
escape met with rough usage and were
severely handled, especially after they
produced pistols and knives with which
to cut their way through the crowd.
Two jumped irOm the windows. and must
certainly have been injured. The loader
and one or two others Of the troupe were
arrested and successfully landed in the
brown stone The hall presented a decidedly
woe-begone appearance, being filled with
hrO>e chalrg. benches. and the pharapher-
nclif OF the nights entertainment. Othcer
ward. deserves the highest praise for his
indomitahle courage during the melee, and
| The proprietor may thank him that he Is
still the happy pOsaesaor Of whole bones.
The moral - the whole affair is. that our
| people lrW have an equivalent for thetr
money and that they eau not be hOnXed.
