A Queer INCIDENT. - At present
there are quite u large number Of mon,
In Virginia, who are ont ofmoney, and
out Of employment, q situation which
IL not particularly calculated to make
n man feel happy. In this connection
we may relate a somewhat singular In
cident which occurred In a saloon In
that city last evening. A man clad
In the costume Of q charcoal. burner
stepped up TO the bartender, aud III
uuired II there was an officer about
the premises. adding that no wanted
TO be arrested. lie stated In explana-
ton OF his singular request, that hc had
been In the city a week, and had been
unable to find work, aud that hc had
become thoroughly discouraged, and
did not care what became Of him. The
man did not appear TO be under the
influence OF lilusr. The saloon keeper
Informed him that he would have to
commit some crime, or other, before
he could get into tho station house.
This, he said, he was unwilling to do.
The last we saw OF the eccentric stran-
yer no was still hunting an officer, with
a view OF carrying his cherished pur-
pose into effect.
