| L@E6C1Nc N0tes.-ThlS village has been
 favored by . visit from the world renowned
 magician, Signor Bitz. That thia was the
 original Blitz there can be no doubt, not
 the least. Your correspondent has seen
 about twenty of him in the course of &
 brief lifetime, and each was the original Blitz. In addition to the feats of ]egerde-
 main usually exhibited by the original Blitz,' the attractions of the great New
 York mystery the spirit drum, vsntrlo- qusm and the Marionette troupe were in cluded in the programme. One would nat urally expect that such collection of tal- ent would be well patronized. It is not unreasonable to suppose that such were Mr. Blitz's ideas on this point In order to make assurance doubly sure, number of free tickets were placed Qike the Credit Mobilier stock) where they would do the most good Your correspondent received one. The evening of the performance ar
 rived the free tickets were well repre- sented, but the house was not rcmunera- alive; in fact it was, financially speaking, below par, the receipts amounting to four dollars. Nothing daunted, Bitz, after consulting amongst him self, (there were three of hiln) determined to try again, and with an unselfish deyotion to the interests of the people, announced that one hundred presents would be given away at the close of the next evenings performance. The evening arrived, bringing with it discour. agement to the hopeful Blitz. for behold
 but four small boys composed the audi cncc. This was too much even for Blitz :; he refunded the gate fees and departed
 Early next morning there was seen care worn man hurrying toward the Miller House. He wanted to see MT. Bltz, who had neglected to pay for the use of the hall. The proprietors of tho house also began to feel interested in Blitz and at one time it seemed probable that the spirit drum and the Marionette troupe would re- main with us for an indefinite period A compromise was, however. effected, and Blitz, the spirit drum and the Marionettc troupe took their departure with recollec- tions of Lakeville which, we fear, will prevent us from seeing them again for some time..... Miss Kate Lent of Millerton delivered very interesting discourse at the Methodist church Sunday evening last The church was crowded and Miss Lents re- marks were listened to with much interest
 ...E. Silvsrnail of this village was brought before Justice Tupper last Saturday, charged with selling liquors without li- cense. Trial postponed till Wednesday, the 18th inst. George H. Bundy, referred to in last weeks NEWS as being stuck in the California snow drifts arrived here Fri day of last week ......A number of gentle men, whose principal occupation seems to consist in consuming poor whiskey and lls- cussing political affairs, are now soiourn- ing in the vicinity. The number of drunk en men seen on the street is also increas- ing, all of which would seem to indicate that election day is near at hand. JUAN.

A WOuld.be Murderer.

An incident occurred last evening which if it
had not been troubled would probably have re-
suited fatally. The particulars are as follows:
Last evening about six o'clock, Alfred Izatt, a
man living on Preble street, visited the house
of Charles H. Fling. on Free street, to see his
wife, who has not lived with him for some
time He had been drinking and soon made
himself so offensive that officer Very was sent
for to remove him. He objected to go, saying
that the womanlwas his lawfullwife, and would
have her go home with him. At this the officer
told the man and woman that they had better
go to the station and see the marshal. They
agreed to this, but when Izatt got into Market
Square he said he would go home and let his
wife alone, The officers let him CO. but he soon
returned, saying that his wife must go with
him. Seeing that he was getting desperate
officers Very and Sterling arrested him, and
were taking him to the station when he at
tempted to get away from them, and tried to
draw revolver. After hard struggle they
got him locked up. A great crowd followed,
making the task of the officers more difficult.
On being searched a. the station loaded re
volver, a watch and a small amount of money
were found upon lis person.
His wife, who appears to be very respecta-
BILE woman, says that he has repeatedly threat
ened to shoot her if she did not live with him,
and the supposition is that his purpose in going
to see her last night was to carry out his
threats if she failed to comply with his wishes.
She says it is impossible for her to live with
him because of his lntemperance.
