The party chanced to observe the officer at the same time and seeing the brass buttons on his coat he moved off, . The officer proceeded a short distance, when ho returned and- Concealed himself behind a tree.. Soon the strager re turned, stealthily approached the house and entered the piazza. He then went to the window and. took a peep ' through the blinds, after which he proceeded to open the front door, but, finding the family sit ting in the parlor in such a position that he could not enter without being discovered, he gently closed it, and walked to the end of the piazza, looking for another mode of entrance. 'At this moment the officer, who had, unobserved, approached upon his hands ' and knees to within : a few tfeet of the man, suddenly sprang upon him and informed him that he was his prisoner The man stammered out something about looking for work,:-but was really, so over come by the result of bis little adventure that he could scarcely articulate a syllable.

The Blrtb of the Qentennlal The New Tear Welcomed br.the FlrlnK of Cannon, &e. - The Centennial Year was ushered in here by the firing of cannon and the ringing of bells. ..Many of our citizens, not being aware that a programme had been arranged for the occasion, were at first startled by the booming of the heavy gun upon the mid night air; and, being so suddenly aroused from -their slumbers, and by such an unusual and unexpected process, were ready to be lieve that a tremendous explosion of some sort had taken place.' A moment's reflec tion, however, brought to their drowsy minds the fact thatch was the birth-night of the Centennial of American Indepen dence, and that the year of 1870, destined to fill so important a page in the history of the country, had dawned upon us. The firing of the cannon and the ringing of the Market bell, the occasional ringing of Church, bells where watch-meetings were being held, the barking of dogs, rendered riproarious by;-the unusual din at what would generally be termed such an unrea- tsooable hour, the crowing of chickens, the occasional yejls of rambling rowdies and street-walkers, and, finally, V; the exciting cries of .".fire," and the sound of the alarm bell, 'seemed-, altogether . to make 'the last moments of the old year and the first of the new one anything' but calm and serene. Tbe'canhdn ftiag ; which was by the au thorities,, was under, the immediate direc. tion of Mr. J. N.

Mabson, Lieut, Colonel, were out yesterday and paraded the streets; also, we understand, going out to Hilton. For some cause the regiment turned out with far less than its usual force. At 3 P. M. the 1 military and quite a number of the colored population generally assembled at City Hall, when the meeting which had ;been proposed for that hour was called to order by G. W. Price; Jr., Master of ) Ceremonies.- After prayer by Bey. Jamison, Jas. A. Lowrey was called tome unair ana w. a. ureen appointed retary. Geo.' W.

The watchman had not waited very long before two colored men made their appearance : and were about to commence the transpor tation of the feed, when a sortie was made by the party in ambush, which was detect ed In time by the thieves, who dropped the bags and beat, a precipitate retreat. The two men were recognized, however, and proved to be some of Sin Garr ell's own employes. We learn that a warrant was issued for their arrest and the two men are no doubt ere this ifrthe lock-up. . -LL XJLJLld.-: ...y, JLXJKvkdLJkli r' WXL"'3.

After due consultation the jury rendered a j verdict to the effect that B. J. Garrett came to his death by a gunshot wound re ceived at the hands of J. F. Everett ; Fire Yesterday HEornlne. Some time after we had gone to press in the early hours of 1876, the Market bell sounded an alarm caused by a fire in the saloon of Mr. Thos. Mayer, on Front street - between Market and Dock. The fire de partment responded promptly and subdued the flames before they had made any great headway. Mr. Mayer had gone out for a walk, leaving the gas burning, some little time before the alarm was sounded, and . bad not returned at the time the fire was discovered, i The only place where traces of fire could be found was in a closet under the stairs leading from the saloon to the room above; which spot is in a part of the saloon remote from both the gas-jet and the stove, and we can consequently not say how the fire could have communicated to the woodwork of the stairs, except on the supposition of rats and matches or : oiled . rags. T The building is the property of Mrs. Harriss and is not seriously injur ed. 1 Mr. Mayer's stock and furniture were slightly damaged by fire and water but the loss is covered by insurance. ! While on the way to the fire the steamer A. Adrian came into collision with the Hook and Ladder truck, on Market street, slightly injuring the truck anddlsablingthe steamer by breaking her hind wheeL Mr. Adrian, the foreman, was on'the steamer at the time and was somewhat injured by flying sprin ters, but was well enough to ride out during the day, hence! his injuries cannot be be lieved to be very serious. - The accident was caused by the inability of the driver of the Adrian to rein up from full speed or turn out in time, after hearing the signal of the' truck, to avoid the collis ion. --- ' '-" -' Harbor Raster's Reports ' From Capt B.
