An unrehearsed incident, of au extraordinary and exciting character, was enacted recently, at Lecture Hall, Chatham, England, at the representation of Uncle Tom's Cabin. One of the principal scenes is that in which Eliza and her husband, in their flight for liberty, are tracked by bloodhounds. On the evening referred to, one of these hounds was decidedly too realistic in its part of man hunter, and, instead of feigning to attack one of the male characters, actually sprang upon him, and, seizing the unfortunate actor by the thigh, inflicted a very severe wound. Nor could the enraged animal be easily disengaged, and in the struggle that ensued, the flesh of the bitten part was further torn and lacerated. Without delay a messenger was despatched for medical assistance, and the poor fellow's wounds were carefully cauterised and dressed. Popular Transatlantic divines find a robbery from their house or their own pockets rather a profitable loss than otherwise, judging from the experience of the well-known Henry Ward Beeeher. Lately Mr Beecher had his pocket picked of his watch, and the newspapers duly announced the loss and commiserated the loser. The sympathising president of a well known watch company immediately sent Mr Beecher a very handsome watch; shortly after cama a similar present from an admiring friend ; then the City of Boston voted Mr Beecher a splendid watch in return for his public services; and, lastly, back came the original timekeeper. " Now," dryly remarks the New York Christian Union, "Mr Beecher is anxious to have something else stolen."
