Beginning of the End.—An inquisition was taken yesterday in the Sheriff's Court, against Thomas S. Hamblin, at the suit of Shepard Potter, timber merchant, to recover the amount of $82.25 for lumber furnished the theatre, for the purpose of constructing the big water tank. No opposition being set up to the claim, judgment was ordered.
Alas! poor Tom! He is going the way of all flesh. "Poor Tom's a-cold"—but not with cold water. He knows a trick worth two of that. So long as he advertised in the "Herald," he never had any judgments against him. Mr. Wadsworth, think of your associate.
