OF a-resting one d. X. Perry, indicted a. the
late term of Court of this County for forgery,
has been having quite serious time oft.
He succeeded in arresting Perry week ago
last Saturday, bat before leaving tine city a
writ of ha5eis corpus was issued and hear
ing set for the following Wednesday At
which it was decided that the prisoner could
not be held, and he was forthwith diScharg-
ed. Kyle telegraphed the rcsultto Mr. Hen
~ Null. of jefferson township, the prose
cutor in the case and on Saturday he swore
ont new warrant on which the Governor,
on Monday granted a requisition which
was Immediately forwarded to the Sheriff at

around loose until our Sheriff can gobble
him Z second time, remains to be seen.
We believed Perry should have been held.
and was discharged by the Judge before
whom he was brought on the merest bubble
imaginable.

Long before the time announced for open
ing the doors steady stream of people
came pouring into the Court House, Thurs
day evening, anxious 10 procure seats and
be among the first to greet Pittsburgh's cele-
brated vocalist, Miss Jean Wallace, in her
first appearance before a Somerset audience.
Every available scat wrs soon taken, and by
eight o'clock-the time set for the entertain
ment to commence-tiozens of chairs and
benches had been br nght in and every inch
Of standing room ii gallery and aisle was
occupied. When Miss Wallace appeared
she was greeted fith perfect storm of ap-
plause, and 50 q lighted was her audience
that after She lad sung her first song the
eclat was ioad ard long. So enraptured
were her auditors with her magnificent
voice that She was applauded to the echo
after the rendition ofeaeh of and happy selec-
tions and was eiieoaei time and again. Miss
Lucy Endsley presided at the piano and
played the accompaniments FOR Miss Wal
lace, and she, assisted by our talented young

the intervals with mastery performances
upon the piano. The concert was given un-
der the auspices of the K. r. Cnmmins Post

her was not quite 50 large but was even
more appreciative than that of the pre-
vious night. Mr.. J. J. Miller and A. g.

cal skill of Miss Endslcy and Mr.. Heifley
was freely recognized and their kindness
fully appreciated was attested each evening
by the generous applause which they re-
ctirel.
