STORY OF a HECK,
And Some Monumental Cheek.

Yesterday morning a man walked
into the Mayaower saloon and after
taking a few drinks asked the pro-
prietor, Mr.. Curry, if "they had any
theaters in this town." Received a re-
ply in the affirmative, he invited Mr..
Curry to go with him
will twenty or twenty-five dollars
take US in9" asked Thomas.
Certainly, replied Mr.. Curry.
"Then I'll 20 and get a new rig and
s1me money and we'll 60" replied
Thomas, going out. In few moments
he returned and handed Mr.. Curry a
check for S25 drawn on the German
National bank in his favor, and signed
j. j. B1sby & Co., with the letter B.
underneath the signature. Asking
for a pen and ink he Endorsed the
name Thee. G. Thomas on the back,
and wanted a few drinks on the check.
Several old buns we're treated on
the strength of the check, and Thomas
then borrowed fifteen cents to pay for
a shave and left again. Mr.. Curry
visited Major Busby and showed him
the check, which that gentleman pro-
nounced as a base forgery. A few
moments after Mr.. Curry left the
irrepressible Thomas came In, and.
approaching Major Busby, said oh,
Major Busby, l sspresume - called
wice-found you at last-deuced glad
l did-shipped you six bales cotton
come on next train-marked 7. G. T.
-myname-Theo. G.. Thomas-receive
it, sir ?"
"No, sir, | have received no cotton
Of that mark. What name did you
say?" asked the major, as soon as be
could get his breath.
"Thomas-Theo. G."
"0h, yes; you are the gentleman
who had a check Of mine for twenty
FIVE dollars, said the major.
"Oheck-twenty-6ve dollars on you |
Oh, no. Don't let anybody have any
thing on my credit"
mo, but somebody's trying to get
something on mine" replied the
Major.
Come go with me to see that man
with the check"
Thomas readily agreed, and started
of at a brisk pace down the street.
Major Busby saw st once that Theo
T., was a little too anxious and called
out stop theft pointing to Thomas.
Thomas mended his gait, calling out
4Stop thief too, and pointing in front
Of him. People got confused, of
course, and Thomas strategy was
about to succeed when Chief Davis
appeared on the scene and took
Thomas in charge. He was tried this
morning, for forgery, and bound over.
He is the same man who called on the
chief day before yesterday and had a
long story to tell about some stolen
mules. Suspicion now points to him
as n Of a gang Of horse thieves,
though he claims 10 be a farmer ono
moment aud an engineer the next.

The Fleet Now in Port, and 20
Arrive.

Nearly a dozen hatboats are now at
our landing, several with their cargoes
nearly sold out, others selling fast,
some disposing of their stock slowly,
and still others awaiting higher prices
for what they have to offer. The po-
tato men are particularly stiff in their
views, and though prices are firm and
better than they we're earlier in the
season, yet they are confident of still
higher figures in the neal future, and
are holding of, expecting to get all
they ask. Among recent arrivals, we
note Captain Henry Shaw, with a
barge containing 1000 bbls apples and
potatoes, from the upper Ohio. He
arrived last Saturday, and his stock
being choice, is going off freely.
Captain Pickens also arrived last Sat
urday, from Racine, on the upper
Ohio, and is selling here, his stock
being cabbage, kraut and potatoes.
The Lambeth Brothers, from Weston,
on the lower Ohio, camein four or
Eve days ago with a thousand barrels
of peachblow potatoes, which they
propose to dispose of in this market
when prices suit them. They have
not opened out yet. Captain Abbott,
with a load Of russell potatoes in bulk,
from Patriot, below Cincinnati, has
not sold many as yet, but is meeting
the market with his cargo, Call and
Goucher's boat, from the upper Ohio,
has been here some time, and their
cargo of apples are going off gradually.
W. H. Mallory's craft, with apples
and potatoes, from the upper Ohio,
has nearly closed out and will soon be
ready to go home. Captain William
sons boat, from Matamoras, upper
Ohio, has a few apples left, but will
shortly complete sales and be ready
for a home voyage. Robinson and
Bledsoe's craft, from Florence, above
Louisville, have nearly closed their
potato cargo. Captain Wilgus, with
his apple cargo, is also selling fairly,
while Trotter's potato boat, from
Amsterdam, lower Ohio, 60 miles
below Louisville, has not yet offered.
Boats expected to arrive within the
next few days, are; Captain VIM.
Mckay, with apples and potatoes, from
the upper Ohio; Captain Spencer Har-
pool, with a mixed cargo, from Letart'
upper Ohio; Captain w. H. Roberts,
from the Muskingum country, upper
Ohio, and Colonel II. e. Dodd, with a
coasting boat, upon which are his
family, including several handsome
daughters, on a pleasure voyage down
the Ohio and Mississippi. Captain
james DAILY, of Rising Sun, was in this
city yesterday, laying in fresh stock,
his boat now being at Friars Point,
100 miles below here.
