LEVY, THE CORNET-PLAYER, IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Troy, New York, January 9.—Gilinore's Band, with Levy, the cornet-player, gave a concert last night, The performance was delayed half-an-hour by a constable seizing Levy's cornet for a debt contracted when lie was here some two years ago. When the constable tried to serve the process at Troy House, Levy ran away, leaping into a sleigh containing Mme. De Muvska, making frantic but ineffectual efforts to conceal the horn about his person. The constable, nothing daunted, followed and landed on Mme. DeMurska's lap. Tile sleigh was driven to the music hall, where Levy jumped out and ran upstairs blowing and shouting to the members of the band, "Throw him down stairs! Kill him!" After the constable seized the cornet, Levy denied the ownership, but as Mr Gilmore agreed to pay the bill, the waiting audience was enabled to hear the dulcet tones of the much-seized instrument. It is assorted that the cornet did not in fact belong to Levy, but was the property of the maker, whose lien upon it had never been discharged. Mine De Murska is doing well.
