large their grounds and in -the comirg
Spring to take in more ground and make
a nice garden of it, where they can as
semble and indulge -in the sports and
es

City Court-
W. H. Highsmith and William Camp
bell, two smtll colored boys, were arraign
ed upon the charge of belonging to a gang
of thieves, who have been purloining emp
ty bags from the W. & W. aud W. C. k
A. R. R. depots, with the Navassa Guano
Company's brand stamped upon them.
Sergeant Davis testified that last night,
about 7 o'clock, he arrested Highsmith
with a couple of these bags in his hand.
There were three in the party, but the
other two escaped. Subsequently High-
smith acknowledged his guilt to the offi
cer and offered if he would go with him
to the railroad depot to show where they
secured thebags. To 'this proposition
Sergeant Davis agreed, though he failed
to find th9 bags, but after reaching the
dep:t Highsmith pointed out the boy
Campbell, whom he said was one of the
gang. The offiser tlen took them both to
the Guard House and locked them up.
The Mayor,after hearing the testimony, c
dered the defendants locked up for the
present.
- David Brown, colored, was arraigned
upon the charge of disorderly conduct.
Officer E. S. Griffith noticed that defen
dant was acting in a very disorderly man
ner last eight on North Water street, by
cursing and swearing and using obscene
language. Tbe officer also stated that he.
bjard the click of a pistol whjeh. the de.
fendant must have cccked, ostensibly, he
supposed, to shoot a white sailor man
with whom Brown was quarreling. Ar
rested tbe party but could find no pistol
on mm. ice Auyor charged $10 and
told the defendant be could pay it or ui-
the. alternative of remaining in the City
Prison for twenty days.
R. Levick, colored, waa . arraigned for
disorderly conduct on tle 8teps of St.

Mary Anderson.
Mis3 Miry Anderson opens a week's
engagement in Baltimore ou Monday next
and it is thought that after it is conclud
ed she will come South. If such should
be the case we suggest that something of
an organized effort be ma la to induce her
to include Wilmington in her route and
give Mi one performance here. It would
bj something to be remembered.

Rowdyism.
The door of Justice J. C. Millis' grocery
store, on Front, between Church and Cas
tie streets, was. broken down about 3
o'clock this morning, by a party who
were on a big carousal, and the act was
either committed wantonly for mischief or
while the crowd were indulging in the
delightful pastimejof bruising each other g
countenances in a free fight. Nothing was
taken from the store, and the Justice
thinks it was a party of wild young bucks
who had been engaging in a midnight
carousal somewhere, and this was proba
bly the winding-up of the frolic.
Rather too Old.
We saw this - morning four gentlemen
on a street corner conversing earnestly.
One of the party was relating a frightful
runaway accident; we got out our note
book and took it all down. The horse
took fright from a locomotive, ran away,
threw out a woman and two children,
killing all three, and dragged the driver
two miles, breaking every bone in his
body, and crushing his skull all to bits.
We got the names, and then cheerfully
asked: 4When did this occur?' 'W-e-1-1
drawled the narrator, I think 'twas in
the spring of '54, erN thereabouts.'
Operet'a Notes.
There was a rehearsal of -'the Operetta
at the Opera. House last evening and no
great is the interest excited in the forthcom
ing entertainment' that a targe number of
persons applied for aud obtained admis
sion on the occasion.
The attendance to-morrow evening
promises to be one of the largest and most
fashionable audiences ever assembled
within the walls of the Opera House.
There are a few seats yet left on the
diagram but they will be gobbled up
soon. Those who have not yet supplied
themselves should be in a hurry about .
We are requested to state that the doors
wilt be open to-morrow evening at 7
o'clock and that the performance of the
Operetta will begin at 8 o'clock.
Mr. R. Ray, who is at present canvass
ing ths city for some book, called upon
us to-day to assert that h. canaot be the
party alludedjo. in yesterday's Ritibw as
having been impertinent to ladies and
denies any such charge. We willingly
give him the benefit of the denial.

Col. Geo. Harriss lost a very large and

Is thought to have been caused by the
negligence of the person employed to at
tend to him.
Water street, north of Princess, is sadly
in need of repiving. Only a year or two

huge hollows between the strres. It needs

Oce more unfortunate, rashly importu

dray. She was very drunk and very
highly colored and Officer Grant had the
honor of bringing her in.
