A Curious Case.--A young fellow
was taken up in the yard of house in
Boston, who was first taken for thief;
but it appears he was waiting for one
of the female domesiics, with whom he
was acquainted. On appearing at the
police office, he was found to be a
young man who in the day time pro.
menades the street, dressed in the ex-
treme of fashion, with ruflles to his
wristbands, bat at night fall he assumes
the habiliments OF "a beggar, and goes
around begging cold vctuals, which he
deposites in large butter box, and car.
ries to his home, which he calls bache.
lor's hall. 1t was searched, bu, moth.
lng was found excepting trunk of ele-
CANT wearing apparel and his box of
cold meats. He is said to be perfectly
temperate, but incorrigibly lazy and an
incurable libertine.
