are the Baltimore correspondents OF Duncan,
sherman IL Co. There were rumors on the
street Yesterday Us TO the amount the Messrs.
N,kim had lost by the failure, which was
nut in one instance at $4,000. The Messrs.
M'Kim always had balance on hand at the
house of Duncan, Sherman Il Co., ana VIII
lose something. The exact amount could
not be definitely learned. but it can be ststed
on the best authority that the loss Of the
Nrssrs. M'Kim will be very small
one. as they bad only Il small balance win
Duncan, Sherman Il Co. when they ralleo. A
gentleman residing in this city received
draft from Messrs. M'kim on Saturday on
Duncan, sherman & Co. for 81, 100. Beng
in no hurry for the money he did not send
tbe draft on for collection, and had it still IN
his possession when the failure was an
pounced. He will look TO the drawers Tor
the money. The reason why the Messrs.
M'Kitn bad but smll balance or hand was
that they transacted the greater portion OF
their New York business through n Ann,
brothers IL Co., and the First National Bank
of that city .-Amertcdn.

A DARING ROBBERY.
Captain u. y. LuCe's Residence En-
tered.

Night. before last, about eight o'clock,
while the family were gathered togeth-
or In one of tho rooms down stairs,
some bold thief got u ladder out of the
back yard, carried II around to the
front part OF the house, mount
ed 1t, and thus entered the
rooms above. The thief evidently
knew precisely what he was about, for
he appropriated forty'seven dollars and
twenty cents in money, and some
rings worth fifty dollars. The thing
was so quietly and professionally done
that the family heard nothing, and it
was only after the robber was out and
away, that the rooms Were entered and
the robbery was discovered.
Our citizens had better look well to
their bolts and locks. There be thieves
abroad. In many of our towns these
sneaking vagabonds are providing
about, and awaiting themselves of ev-
cry opportunity to make raise. The
number of suspicious looking charac-
ters about town warrants the belief
that there Is more than one of them.

The many friends of DR.. Lee, were
pleased to see him again on the streets
after an illness of several weeks.
II. p. Aunspaugh, Esq, formerly
cashier of the City bank, has established
himself as money, stock and note
broker, up stairs, corner of Main and
Lamar, near Drs. Pope 4 Locke. He
is a practical business man, familiar
with the business, and will do well.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. Wohl have issued
invitations to their friends to attend
the nuptial ceremony of Miss Emma
Acker to Mr.. Herman Sparks, switch
will take place at Odd Fellows hall,

our Acknowledgements are rendered

Mr.. c. M. Wheat, president of the
Board of Trade, who has been off
'chaDge for several months by reason
of sickness, signalizes his return by a
column advertisement, which appears
elsewhere. He is one of the shrewdest
and most successful of our dry goods
merchants and understands the full
value of printers ink in dull times;
and moreover, pays his bills promptly
and cheerfully. Men like this make
city.
III. l.. Ray, Esq, who addresses
communication to the Commercial
upon the subject ofa recent article about
Lee and Grant, which was copied into
THE HERALD, will find it in the new
work just published, entitled Personal
"reminiscences Of General Robert L.
Lee, by the Rev. Mr.. Jones, chaplain
in the army of northern Virginia, and
chaplain TT Westinghouse univer-

Ray doubts, he is referred to the Rev.
Mr.. Jones, who will doubtless take
pleasure In removing all doubts from
Mr.. Rays mind very efiectually.

''Still Waters Run Deep" one Of the
best modern favorite comedies, was
given last night for the benefit of the
Relief association by the Carlotta
troupe. The house was small one.
but the play was given with as much
spirit as If 1t had been crowded. The
interest of the play, of course, centers
in "John Mildmay," Mr.. John A. Ste
vens, who is considered dull "spoon"
by the women of his family, yet shows
himself man of courage, sense and
discretion. This part is one of Mr.
Stevens happiest efforts and was admi-
rably played in every way.
The part of ''NTrs. Sternhold'' was
performed with marked merit and
and force by Miss Carlotta, but it is
rather heavy for so merry and sunny a
little body as this charming little ac-
tress is.
Mr.. Bernard's Captain Hawkesley
was only tolerable performance. He
was hardly too familiar with his part,
and did not therefore acquit himself
rs well as he is capable of doing in 9TH
err parts.
Miss Viola May gave rather a tame
and stiff rendition of the character of
Mrs. Mildmay, but her handsome
personal appearance, and lady like
manners made amends for lack of
animation partially.
Mr.. Buckeyes Mr.. Potter was quite
good, trifle overdone, but still very
amusing, and droll bit OF 1.-THE lead
ing old man business"
This was the last appearance Of the
troupe, which Il favorite one and
should come sssin, ss
