was present with his coronet, and played
"Yankee Doodle" which the phonograph
reproduced with startling effect. Several
other airs were played with the same re.

person in the audience TO speak into the
machine, and Mr.. viii Grafton stepped
forward amidst great applause. He
shouted something, but for some reason
or other the sound was not ~distinctly re.

DR.. A. H. Kussr.
One Of the most interesting papers that
I have ever listened TO was an article read
by DR.. Kunst, Assistant Physician at the
State Hospital for the Insane, on the sub.
jsct Of Puerperal Insanity. The Doctor
summed up in a brief article his expe-
rience on the subject for the past eleven
years, giving aconcise history Of q num-
Der OF cases, with the mode Of treatment
in each. During the reading Of this pa.
per It's author had the most profound at.
tentiop, and il was easy TO observe that
his article touched upon q topic OF ex-
ceeding interest to his hearers. OF
course 1 cannot, in justice to DR.. kunst,
give your readers even a faint idea Of
the merits OF his production; but as II
was q matter ofspecial interest TO pyhysi-
clans, l know that its publication will be
eagerly looked for.
Alter the conclusion Of DR.. Kunst's es-
say, the Convention proceeded, at the in.
yitation OF DR.. Camden, to visit the Hos.
pital for the Insane, and passed through
the various halls and wards, critically
examining the condition OF the patients
and the mode OF treatment. ] did not
accompany them; but upon their return,
[ was informed by Vice President Dent
that all were highly pleased with the
Asylum and its management; and that the
general sentiment was that West Vir-
ginia possessed the model insane asylum
Of the Union.

A SeriOnA Fall.

Early this morning as Captain Joshua
Baker, well known citizen of this city, +,
WAS decsnding the first flght of stars he
met with very serious mishap. He had
decended the Atairs until he reached the
second step from the bottom when by
some mshap he fell, his head striking
the hallway. His wife heard the noise
occasional by the fall, but thinking that
he had stumbled against the table in the
dining room, She paid no further atten-
ton TO the matter until she heard "A
moaning, when she hastily arose aud de-
cending the stairs found her husband
lying on the floor with his head doubled
under his breast.
AT first 10 was thought that his neck
was broken, but upon examination the
surmise was happy found to be incorrect
He was assisted to bed, and Dr. Wales
summoned, who upon examination
found that the collar bone had been
broken, and one of the lungs injured
The fall was a very serious one, but WI n
not necessarily prove fatal.

A MAN ENTERS STORES, AND AFTER
ORDERING A BILL OF GOODS PAYS
FOR THEM IN FORGED CHECKS.
Another way TO make money has just
come TO light in this city.
Last evening about Z o'clock, man
entered grocery store at the corner of
Second and Justison streets, and after
purchasing whole ham, and requesting
the proprietor 10 send it TO No. $40 w.
Third street, this morning, he rendered
in payment thereof check, amounting
to $21.
The check was one of the old blanks
Of the First National Bank of this city,
when that institution was at the corner Of
Fourth and Market streets. Ii was made
payable to John Holland, and was signed
by William ii. Wright, the carriage
builder, corner of Water and Market
streets. Tie proprietor Mr.. A. Hill,
knowing Mr. Wright, and thinking that
the check was all right gave the man the
balance between the amount that the
ham came to and the amount of the check,
whereupon the man departed
This morning the ham was sent to the
given by the man, but upon ar
irving there 10 such number was found,
but in its place a vacant lot.
During the day the same individual
went to the s. lore of James NJ. Jones, cor
ner of Fifth and Jefferson Streets. and
after purchas ing barrel offlour and tel
ling him to send it TO house ON Madi-
son street, above Ninth, presented the
same kind ola check, the amount being
S24, and recei ived the balance in money.
This morning the Victims took the
checks to the First National Bank, and
learned to their astonishment that the
checks were not only forgery, but that
the drawee did not keep his bank account
at that institution.
Mr.. Wright says he does not know, or
cannot imagine who the man was, that he
did not keep his accounts at the First Ma
tional, but at the Wilmington IL Brandy
wine Bank.
NO doubt he man has left town, but
il would he well for merchants and store
keepers to keep a sharp lookout for him,
to keep from being victimized.

A New Hall.

IMPROVEMENT AT THE MASONIC TEMPLE
A NEW HALL ON THE SECOND GLooR.
The Directors of the NJ Masouic Temple
recently agreed upon plan to utilize
one of their vacant rooms, and at the
same riUe nil long-felt need for small
and 90 nfortable hall for lectures and
other entertainments for which the
Grand Opera House Is too large to be
suitable.
The plan was fully devised, and the
work OF C ,rry ng it into execution is now
in progress. The new hall will be on the
north side of the second floor, and will
comprise the old Board of Trade room,
and the small rooms adjoining on the
east.
These rooms, thro wn into one, make a
well proportioned hall ,ixtv feet long and
forty feet W de, which, when fitted up
with comfortable seats, will be in every
way suitable for the uses it is to he put to.
A conVenient stage will be erected at
the east end of the ball and an alley-way
Will be constructed to connect the stage
with the rooms across the area ON the
saue floor.
The work tear ng out the old rooms
in under way, and the entire improve
ment will n completed in few weeks.
