The entertainment given in the school
hall, on Wednesday evening last, by the
above associations, was one of the best
ever held in this section of the country.
Notwithstanding the unpropitious wea-
ther, the hall was crowded-every seat
being occupied with attentive and
delighted spectators. The rendition Of
the several songs, choruses, and Duets
by Mrs. Durling, Mrs. Hibbler, Miss
Hibbler and Miss Hauk, and Messrs.
Causs and Kuntz, were highly appre-
ciated and most enthusiastically en-
cored. The tableaux were well chosen
and produced fine impression on the
audience. The drama "Awaklng" and
the farce "John Dobbs" were well rem
iered, each performer appearing to be
specially adapted for the part assigned
him. The performance giving so great
satisfaction ON Wednesday evening,
was, by request repeated on Thursday
evening to an equally large ana de-
lighted audience.

PHILADELPHIA, April 16.-Ths
morning, between | 1 and 12 O'Clock, as
Col. A. M. Mcclure, editor of the
Times, and ex-GOv. Andrew G. Curtin
were leisurely walking down Chestnut
street, engrossed in conversation, Col.
Mcclure was confronted by Nat Mckay,
the notorious naval contractor, whose
crooked transactions have been exposed
by the Times. Without giving Col.
Mcclure warning, Mckay quickly drew
a small whip from his breast, and say
Ing, 81 have got it in for you, and am
going to give it to you" attempted to
strike the Colonel. Quick as he was,
the stRlwart editor was quicker, and
seizing the burly ruflian by the throat,
he choked him into submission. While
thus engaged, two ruffiians-one from
behind and one in front-struek the
Colonel several severe blows about the
face and head. Col. Mcclure, after
shaking Mckay as a terrier would a
rat, turned upon his other assaiantsj
but Only one was captured, the other
escaping in the confusion. Mckay and
his confederate ruffian we're taken to
the Central Station, and after hearing
were held in $500 bail to answet the
charge of aggravated assault. Subse-
quently, on q motion to increase the
bail, Judge Mitchell issued cOpias for
the two bullies, and tonight the officers
are searching for them in McKay's
haunts. Mckay will be remembered
as the favored contractor in the sale of
the old Navy Yard in this city under
Secor Robeson's administration. The
Times unhesitatingly exposed his trans
actions then, and is the defendant in
seventeen libell suits brought by the
contractor. 1t came out of the first one
with flying colOrs. The immediate
cause for the assault was the recent
publication of the means by which Nc.
Kay suborned the naval officers, having
charged to the account fol the sale and
removal of the old yard their bills for
whiskey and cigars settled for by him.
There is no doubt that the assault was
premeditated, and that the two accom-
plices of the contractor were New York
roughs especially hired for the work by
Mckay, who has been boasting for the
last few days that he had bought whip
in New York with which to chastise
the independent editor of the Times.
