NOT AN AGGRAVATED AssAULT.-The fol-
lowing communication from well known
citizen of Yarmouth would have appeared
sooner, had it not been addressed as a private
letter to one of our Office when absent:
Mr.. Editor The article in last Tuesdays
DAILY PRESS designated 'An Aggravated
Assault with Knife at Yarmouth" contained
such ridiculous unwarrantable and wholesale
perversion of facts, so well calculated to mis-
lead the minds of our citizens and the public,
that am induced to send you a simple state
ment of the matter which is vouched for in
every particular, as follows: On the afternoon
OF Christmas quite number of boys (peanut
and candy customers) were congregated at the
headquarters of one johnson, formerly of
your city, who keeps a barber's shop, candy
shop, ETC., combined. After giving one of our
''clean shave" he failed to find his bottle of
"bay water" for dressing the hair until he
thrust his hand into his coat pocket, where
some mischievous boy probably had deposited
it,. Being greatly enraged, he peremptorily
ordered the boys out of the shop. which order
it was very wrong and inexcusable in them
not to obey; but as MT. j. has, since he has
been in town, developed happy faculty of
securing the ill will of all the boys, and as they
had consequently got into chronic habit of
disregardlng his orders, they refused to travel,
whereupon he suddenly sprung upon the one
mentioned in the article of Tuesday, who was
quietly engaged in the Yankee enterprise of
whiting with small pen-kniie, and dealt him
smart blow on the face with the fiat hand,
the boy meantime instinctvely throwing up
his hand to fend off the blow; the consequence
of which was that Johnsons hand came in
contact with the pen-knfe, the pointed and
slender blade of which made a slight wound,
and striking against one of the bones just
under the skin, broke off. The boy then left
the shop with the rest. No other blow was
struck. and these are the Pr0ct and nh the facts
constituting the aggravated assault with a
knife at Yarmouth A CITIZEN

The JAIL WoRKsHoP.-The County Com

missioners now propose to start the shop them
selves. They have not as yet decided what
branch of industry they will introduce, but it
will probably be FASTING scraps of leather fol-
soles of boots and shoes. Several boot and shoe
firms in the city have signifed their willingness
to furnish all the stock required and take all

THE MUsEUM.-The popular society play of
'Divorce" was brought out at the Museum
last evening, to good audience, with all the
beauty of scenery and setting and attention to
costume and detail which marked its presenta-
ticn at the opening of the season. 1t was
excellently acted, as before. The changes in
the caste were not many. Miss Graham made
a pretty "Grace," and Miss Adele Smith a
good "Mrs. Kemp" Mr.. Gale gave a smooth
impersonation of the "Rev. Harry" and Mr.
Ulmer made the most Of the few opportunities
afforded him as "Jim.' But it was Of course
upon other parts than these that the interest of
the play depended. Mr.. Arnold's alfred"
Miss Timers vivid, vivacous, and admirably
defined "Lu Ten Eyck," and Mr.. Curtis's
comcal "Templeton Jitt' gave great pleasure
to tie audience, and were heartily welcomed
and applauded. The play will be repeated this
afternoon and evening"
