A Charlotte Rogue Comes to Grief.
The following is a dispatch, bearing date
New York, IaBph4 i 'i n i
"Gus Mayer was arrested to-day on a
dispatch from the Mayor of Charlotte, N.
C, accusing him of stealing $200 and &
horse from his employer in that city. The
accused was on the eve of start ing for Bra
ail." N
j 'xts Mayer is tne;young man wuo nas
been nientioned in thestf columns before,
as having stolen and sold the horse of John
Bloom, of this city, for whom he was out
collecting. Account of the recovery of the
horse has been published. Mayer will, we
suppose1, be hrou'ght back to Charlotte.

tion of the city, authorities to the hole
which has been left just. on theedgo of the

wal that street at night, that some one
has not before this time pillen into the
hole When some one fails into that place
and breaks a limb of loses his life, and a
large amount of damage is recovered from
the corporation tor leaving such a pitfall,
the city fathers will see the propriety'of
attending to such things before it is too
late.
Spend $25 or some such amount in mak
ing safe what is now the most dangerous
place in the corporate limits.
A Iiijiryw'Wlings.-
We again note the
fact, and call the attention of the authori
ties to it, that worthless and malicious
idlers are in tlie babit of defacing and in
juring the palings that enclose some of the
best dwellings in the ciVy. The new paling
around the Institute for Young Ladies was
not ojie week completed, an1 was just
primed for painting, when some miserable
scamp broke out several palings of the

northwest corner. Not long since-at
night a gentleman of the same vicinity
was met walkinaround his own premises

Measures should be taken to put a stop
to these proceedings, and meanwhile we
jhope that some householder will detect one
of these graceless scoundrels in his deyil

W6rthless body.-' Jl mutt who enters a

ngnt yesterday morning, three burglaries
were committed, as follows:
The first was upon the residence of Mr
Adam 8iler, corner of Fourth street - and
Cemetery Avenue, and was perpetrated
about 1 a. m. , ; Mr Siler had retired early
in the night, placing his clothes on a ehair
or table near one of the windows. Sofaie
of the young people, however, were up
later, and as one of the family passed
through the bed -room of the parents; when
about to retire, attention was attracted by
a current of air coming in at the window,
and investigation revealed the fact that the
window had been raised from the outside;
Mr Siler's coat stolen out, and the window
left up by the thief., There was $43 in cur
rency in one of the pockets, two diamonds
used in cutting glass in another, and per
haps some other things in the other pock
ets. , Those of the family who were asleep
were then aroused, and in looking about
the premises,
Mr Joseph Siler observed that one of the
windows in the house of their next door
neighbor, Mr John Woollen, was raised.
lie approached to investigate the matter,
and as he did so, a person (Mr Siler is con
fident it was a negro) jumped from the
window and ran with all his might down
through the garden. Mr Siler fired two
shots at the scoundrel, but neither took
effect and he escaped, leaving behind, ho w?
ever, his hat and a large pair of india-rubber
shoes. Some bread and other eatables
were all that the thief had an opportunity
to carry off with him from this place.
The third burglary of the morning, was
at the residence of Mr Thos D Walsh, on
Tryon street. The thief entered the kitch-
eu by means of the window which was un
fastened by breaking the glass, and then
sliding it back. From here was stolen a
quantity of sugar, coflee, butter, eggs, &c.
Nothing but eatables was taken from Mr
Walsh.
Mr Siler is the heaviest loser of the three
the loss of $4 in money, two diamonds
and a coat falls heavily upon him.' .
In connection with mention of these
burglaries, we remark that the Mayor of
the city requests us to urge upon citizens
the propriety of guarding their own pre
mises at night as far as possible. The po
licemen are doing all they can to protect
the life and property of the people while
they sleep, but so few men cannot patrol
so much territory sufficiently well to pre
vent the occurrence of thefts, and hence
the necessity which exists for each person
being his own policeman until some of
this band of burglars is caught and the
band broken up.
