While chatting with an ex-officer tonight,

show was then a small affair and in debt,
and an execution was placed in the hands
Of the officer, who called at the grounds
and presented his claim. One of the pro-
orietors refused to listen to him,
and mustered his men in front of the

Passing along one of our streets this eve :
