After Tim gave the audience the real old Irish jig, last evening, he took the house for all it was worth, and instantly established himself as a favorite.

Dutchisms by Dan P. "Howard was exceedingly mirth prov- king, and th: hearty laughter " he evoked and re peated encores won, furnished abundant proof that he succeeded in nior; than pleasing. Asa Dutch comedian, Howard is scarcely inferior to Knight, who was such a favorite with Portlanders. For eceentric character sketches Mr. Harry Nicholson is certainly worthy of favor able mention. His character" songs last evening of "Simple Simon," and "Old Joe," would not relied discredit on Charley ' ivian's happiest effort in that line. Everything considered, Mr. llo worth gives an entertainment ins I rueti ve, edifying, refined and pleasing. There is an enure absence of everything which could ('ffei.d the most cultivated taste, and yet there is an abundance of harmless amuscm. nt. IJase Hall. The Chicago Post of a late datesiys: "In the forty international contest games, all but four have been marked by single figures, and in eighteen the winning nine's eore did not exceed five runs. A ball so Ha' by and dead that it could not be batted a rod deserves the credit rather than any superior play. The public is last learning that there is more sport where the batsmen and tiel lers play as well as the pitchers and catchers, and that a low score docs nut necessarily imply an interesting game."

Wrigley, who has been driving a team for George lirougliton, attempted to put an end to his life by driving a rail road spike into his head, but only in llicted ii slight indenture which did not prodtie.; the desired effect. He says he shot himself with a pistol, lust Dr. Davis made an examination and says the wound was m ule by a spike (r something simi lar. Tne first attempt not being satisfac tory, Joseph tried to drown himself in the river 1 ist Sattir 'ay and would have ac complished his object had not Mr George Foster appeared on the scene and rescued the love-sick swain from an untimely and a watery grave. The cause of this strange conduct is a j'onng lady employed at the Harlow House", to whom Joseph has been paying his attention for some time past , and i ecently he proposed that thev should be made' as one, but the dulcina failed to se it in that light. He tried his best to persuade her to chan e her mind and finding it was of no avail he resolved to put an end to his misery and proceeded to put his plans into execution, but failed in two attempts. .
