A “Masterly" Movement--The irlart4ers
-- Flanked. .
An incident owtared- in this. city'
Wednesday evening and Thursday morn
ing in which more than an ordinary
amount of strategy *as exhibited, by one,
of .the parties at .least.. It-was a stragetic
ifihir on 'both ' scdes,v'tiititie' r parties who
undertook and made the first flank move-
meat were beautifully tfianked in the
end. ' The facts are as follows: Mr. J. S.
.
Baldwin, a contractor for the construction
of the Nicolsonpavemerit... in Memphis,
• •
Tennessee, requiring a large quantity of
lumber to fill his contracts, went to the
rlnniter regions on the Allegheny .'river
_
to procure the article. He purchased
twenty.thonsand dollars worth of lumber
and hired John Walters, Daniel Fleming,
D. S. Krotzer; James McKizie, Charles
Krotzer, J. W. Young, John Frud and A:'J.
Toy to raft and run it down to Memphis.
They started With .the raft several days
since, and on Wednesday evening arrived
at Herr's Island, where, the owner of the
lumber having declined to pay them their
Wages until
_their contract was, fulfdled,
they tied - the,..rlifkup, and went before Al
deriminAteirdrc !of the Ninth Ward, asd
had an at og — his:lent issued wrist it, al

he refesed Ztixpity. Waltefs, Fleming, D.,

opponerit's cuteness. In 'order
Jo counteract this Mareh..-Wideltlhey had
stolipliPou hinriflin-Werirtii the Mayor's
otfice and information charging the
• entire party with conspiracy. Officer Mc-
Cready and several others repaired to the
•
raft early Thursday morning and arrested
the parties who had possession of it
and took them to the Mayor's,
office. Baldwin followed the officers,
and, it appears, had previously eon
, tracted with a tow boat to take his raft
,down the river. As soon as the. raft was
- elear he signaled the boat, which took the
• raft in tow and the proprietor on board and
left for ' some . "port below." The parties
who-had been arrested stated the case to
FE' Honor, who; suspecting all was not
right, sent . au officer for Baldwin, but the
officer failed to find him. Information was
-then made against him for secreting goods
• with intent to defraud his creditors, and a
warrant issued for his arrest. He has not
been arrested vet, however, audit is hardly
probable that he will be. The conspirators
were held iu their own recognizance for a
hearing to-day, when they will most prob
ably be discharged. They had a quantity
of clothing, a gun, and several other arti
cies on board,. which, they allege, were car
ried away by Baldwin, and information
was made against him for larceny. This,
we presume, is another-piece of strategy
• in oilier to reach their opponent by requisi
tion.
A Case of Larceny and its Consegueuces.
Bridget Murphy, a lady:Of Celtic origin,
who. keeps a cheap boarding -house on
Water street, made her appearance at Al
derman 'lcliisters' office and related a sad
story, in which- she 'pictured her many
grievances in a gloomy manner. A few
months since she was a happy woman, and
enjoyed the company of a kind and loving
husband, when a circumstance occurred
which has perhaps destroyed her domestic
happiness forever. She had an ,acquaint
ance residing at Mansfield, who rejoices in
the name of Peggy McCrogan. Peggy is
also a nitive of the Emerald Isle, and the
pair bang Always been intimate , Peggy
resolved tirvlsit her friend. She came, and
so rejoiced was. Bridget to meet her old
friend that a bottle was brought and in
numerable bumpers, in which each drank
- the health of the other, .were gulped down.
The result was, a glorious -drunk, and a row
between Bridget's husband and-her friend
Peggy. The next day Peggy took her de
parture and took with her Patrick's over
coat.;. The: lose:or the coat so provoked
Patrick, Bridget's betterhalf, that he went
straightway to a recruiting officer and en
. listed. Bridget endeavored .to get her
friend to return the coat, but to no pur
pose. She made information charging
Peggy with larceny, and a warrant was
issued for her arrest.

'"How I write a word is more than I can

have .failed in my undertakings, and I
cannot think it was entirely, through want
of tenacity or strength of purpose---failed in
every enterprise and undertaking, both of
private and business nature, some of which
have *been very dear to me. To accom
plish the most promising, my efforts have
been the most Mille; so that in reality my
whole life has been one series of errors, or
mistakes and failures. At first, pecuniary
barrassments stare me in the face, in
t
s ern reality. I have already exhausted
eery available resource, and now have-no
Way whatever to turn for succor. Should
my departure occasion grief to any one,
they still have the satisfaction of knowing
that all earthly sorrows have ceased with
Me. I am - very well aware that my life

A Troublesome Husband.
A case of rather a peculiar and interest
ing character, camp before the Mayor yes,
terday evening, but haiing no jurisdiction
in the matter the parties were all Owed to
depart. Thi,circtimstances are as follows :
A . telegram was- received at the Mayor's
,
office Wednesday requesting the Mayor to
have am e n andsvoman arrested who would
I arrive in the city that evening, that the man
had left his wife and was traveling with
another man's wife, and giving a descrip
tion of the person. The Mayor sent offi
cers to the depot to watch the train on
which the fugitives were supposed to have
taken rresso - _ , ,e lint they failed to find them.
Officer Crumbert went to the depot yester
day, thinking that the parties in question -,
might have been delayed, and on his
arrival there' found a man who ans
wered the description' given in the
telagrain precisely, and he was necompa
.nied by a woman and little girl. ' There ap
peared to be something wrong between the
man and woman,
- as they were talking in
a very earnest-manner, and appeared to be
quarelling. The officer argsted them and
took them before.- the [Mayor, who tele
graphed to Harrisburg stating that a man
and woman answering the description of
the parties wanted had been arrested; and
that they had a little girl with them, to
which he received a reply that there was
no child with the parties who had- eloped.
The case here assumed another form. Tho
woman, who it appears is engaged in sell
ing stationery, was the 'widow of a Mr.
Frumn and - lately married Frank Carlton
ohas111:11, whom she alleges does not use
her well, and, who she says has another
wife. She wishes to get rid of him
but cannot, as hp folloWs her every place 1
she goes, and compels her to pay his bills
from what she acquires -from the sale of
stationery. The Mayor Informed her that
he could not grant her a divorce—that she
would have to apply to a higher Court.
She replied that she did not care, she would
not live with that man another day; if she
could do nothing better 'sbb would take
"pizen." The husband insists that sho
shall return with him to New York, whence
they came, but she flatly refuses to do so.
They left the Mayor's office together, but
whether 8110 succeeded in getting rid of her
troublesome lord or no, we - are unable to
say. If she takes the "pizen" we will let
our readers know, provided we hear of it.

Amusements.
THE OPERA HOUSE.—An audience of
barely three hundred people attended the
second performance of the sterling comedy
of Wild Oats at this place last evening.
The performance of the same play a few
evenings since should have insured a more
perfect second representation, but as it
was, it was quite up to the average of the
,play-goer's experience at this house. As a
museum.of histrionic curiosities, the stock
company of the opera House reflects the
highest credit upon the antiquarian re
searches of the management, and an occa
sional visit to the collection is attended
with not unprofitable results to the student
of the curious in
_dramatic exhibitions.
It is saddening to witness so
many unhappy failures in any walk
of life, but it affords at the same
time a lesson upon the infirmities of
our poor human nature,to contemplate the
melancholy delusions which • afflict man
kind and of which this company of player
folks present' such remarkable instances.
An olcifable embodies the sage wisdom of
a venerable parent who illustrated to his
childreu the advantages of union by show
ing them that while one stick, was
easily broken, a bundle of sticks,
made up into a faggot, and wll
tied together, was 'strong enough to
resist all ordinary assaults. This Wise pare t
would be disposed to adopt another ill s
tration if his ill-fortune had condemn d
him not only to live to our day, but to at
tend occasionally at the Opera House. -He
would at once perceive the absurdity of the
idea that such a bundle of sticks as he
would find there possesses any inherent
strength whatever. Each stick "brash"
through and through, and the "dimnition
total,' when bundled together, but serves
to multiply the individual feebleness to a
degree distressing beyond expression.
But the experience of the critical visitor
last e'ening, painful as might have been
its sense of the ludicrous, wquld not have
. been entirely without compensation. A
generous heart could hot have failed - to be
deeply touched with admiration for the
Spartan horoism of the one or two reasona
bly good actors who found themselves 'com
pelled to accept a temporary martyrdom in
being cast in the same representation
with . the rabble-rout who in the progress
of the play strutted their brief moments
before the foot4ights. It really gave one
an . ennobling idea of the dignity to which
our. poor nature is sometimes permitted to
rise to behold the : calm courage, the un
flinching stoicism with which the worthier
actors-bore with the extravagances of man
ner, absurdities of delivery and ruthless
disregard Of the proprieties of the comedy
on the part of the majetity of the perform
ers.
__ _.. .
Mr. Adams Young RoVer did not prom
ise in the earlier scenes to be worthy
Of .his general reputation. We were
gratified to observe. that in the third act
he warmed to his work, and succeeded
in carrying the comedy tolerably as a whole
to its conclusion., Our remarks above will
give to the reader some faint idea of the
dithetilties with Which he found hiMself
struggling, and which ho labored with
praiseworthy; fortitude to overcome.
Undef favorable auspices, and with en
adequate support, Mr. Adams can main
tain upon any stage the worthy reputation
which he has achieved. With the single
exception of one of the ladies of the reg
ular company, his support last evening
was such as would have disheartened an ac
tor of less courage and fidelity. With this
allowance we feel that his exertions to
- make Wild Oats aceoptablelo the audience
were entitled to very high praise.
Tan Cmcus.—Owing to the lateness of
the hour at which the greatest of all Amer
ican circuses, that of Thayer & Noyes, ar
rived ha Birmingham yesterday, the grand
triumphal procession. through the streets
was postponed until this morning at ten
o'clock, when it will positively- take place,
prooeeding to Allegheny. A grand per
formance will, be given in the afternoon,
another te.4ilght, and so tomorrow after

is the most complete and best regulated
circus and menagerie which has ever cast
tent in this vicinity. On Monday next it

The Concert Last Night
The conce:t of vocal and instrumental
music :at the Manchester Presbyterian
Church last evening attracted a large and
fashionable audience, and all who attended
were afforded a rare' musical. feast. The
performances sustained the high reputa
tion enjoyed -by the ladies and gentlemen
who participated in the- programme. The
trio on the piano, organ and violin, "La
Traviata" by Messrs. Mellor, Ebert and
Prof. Manning wag a charming execution,
diiplaying the talent and ability of those
gentlemen, so well known in musiclal
circles, admirably, and eliciting hearty ap- '
plause frOm 'the audience. - The "standard
bearer," a vocalization of much merit and
thrilling effect, called forth for Mr. Breed a
hearty encore which he graciously acqui
esced to and rendered in equally spirited
style "Pam afloat," an air that never could
prove tedious to the, listener, especially
when so well_yendered as it was last even
ing. "Se Crudele,!' a - Melodious operatic
gem, was sweetly given by Mrs. C. C. Mel
lor: That -the audience was delighted
was • evidenced _in the hearty and
rapturous encore which followed • the
rendition. The audience was aisind
mall,' 'rewarded 'for their ; exertions to
Secure another vocalization from the sweet
est among our sweet singers, as she sang
"Little Bird Why Singest Thou?" with.
much beauty, power and - brilliancy. The
various violin solos of Prof. Manning were
warmly received, and the appreciation of.
the aUdlenee - for the flow, of melody drawn
by the faithful bow by so skillful 'an artist
was attested by .the exhibition of hearty
'applause, which greeted the several per
formances. In, the second part, the.
concert .lost . none' of its • brillian
cy. The plaintive melody of "Home;
Sweet Homo" was warbled in an elegant
manner ,by .Mrs. Mellor who
..was again
called forth toeing theiAinilly'sWeet song
"'Tis the Last nose ..of Summer." Air,
Breed's "Old Sexton" was finely rendersdp
as was also the trio from "Faust," instru
mental,' by' Messra. Mello; Manning and
Ebert. The concert was a decided succens
in, every partictulsr, and the large attend=
anee' was a fitting ackdoviledgment of , the
merits of the amateurs who participated.

An Unintended Compliment.
EDITORS GAZETTII—ThO COM.M.CrCiaI, in
its bitter hatred of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, often overreaches itself, and some
times shows the most lamentable ignorance
of the most common railroad affairs while
endeavoring to confound that corporation
by proofs of superior excellence manifested
by other lines. It says in its last issue:
"The Baltimore and Ohio Railway is de
livering Chicago . wheat in Baltimore on
terms and with , a Promptness that will be
likely to wakenp the old lines. A para
graph on the subject in another column
from the Baltimore American is very sug
gestive."
Theparagraph referred to speaks of the
"Empire Transportation Company," and
the remarkable promptitude in delivering
freight, &c. But as 4 happens that the
"Empire Line" is a Pennsylvania Railroad
concern, carrying freight over the rhila
dolphin and Erie branch from the "West"
to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
and has nothing to do whatever with the
Baltimore and Ohio Railway.
The Commercial based, unconsciously,
,a high compliment to splendid manage
ment of the Pennsylvania cororation.
