He had rushed into the house and driven the oceu- pauts out, and when the officer arrived he was sitting ina room, and was armed with a large iron fiesh fork. He accompanied the officers the Guard-house unresistingly, where it was soon made apparent that he was a funatic He is about thirt farce years of age, a native of England, and gave his name as James H.

They had meade about ten thousand small ones, and then danced around him and entangled bis oe invisible cords, and, having bim fast, they drew him to them keeping time to exquisite music, and then they would pay ont the cords and begin again to draw him in. All this, he said, was pleasant; but a large black girl, about three times as large as a house, came to him and be got frightened. She had just made a horse about fifty feet high, and told him to mount; he made an effort and released himself, and ran, the whole pack moving after him to the strains of the music, and as the time was quick- ened, their steps quickened, the boys running and the girls oon: They chased bim al ten miles; and he said he was very glad to yet into the company of friends who would protect him. He was secured in a cell during the night. This morning he was brought out, and bis case stated.

Tastxrvt, Ivpeep, are the window shades, paperbangings, and otber articles in the furnish- ing and fitting line recently advertised by Mark- titer. Another recommendation is their cheap- ness. How Markriter manazes to sell for the price isa mystery, except on the theory that his oud taste In selecting stock ensbles him to avoid | ae on unsaleable articles, and that he thereby can afford to sell low. He has always a number of fine pictures well worth examination. Ju fact, both the housekeep- er and the lover of art, will flud a visit to Mark- riter’s pleasunt establishment on Seventh street well worth their while.
