A Wild Wonan. We understand from Il
gentleman, recently from EIlicott's Mills, up
on whose word we can rely, that no little in.
tcrest has been excited in that neghborhood IN
consequence Of the occasional appearance, .0r
some time past, of a Femaie, supposed to have
! He'd from society and taken uD her abode in the
woods She is reported by those who have
seen her as being remarkably delicate and fair
with flowing trcsses--small feet and hand,
neatly, though plainly appareled; and, in her
movements, when unconscious Of any OF her
! species being near, cautious and sprighlly; but,
upon observing any person. she bounds back to
! the depth Of the forest, with a speed and light
| ness, almost supcrhuman. She is seldom seen:
! having been accidentally discovered she has been
watched for, with mach interest, and as she has
occasionally emerged from the unknown place
Of her seclusion-her home in the rocks and
! gens persons have witnessed her visits 10 the
''Sylvan Springs" situated in deep ravine
peculiar to that region of country. We also
learn that number of gentlemen, anxious to
satisfy their curiosity in reference to this mvs-
FERROUS recluSe, have determined to find out the
abode of the fair and lovely stranger, and, if
possible, restore her back to society. We hope
to be able to report the result.
More Sickness Fl ON Eating Cheese We have
heretofore mentioned cases of sickness supposed
to have been occasioned from eating cheese i'm
preguated with some poisonous substance, and
have again to record another instance mum
Der Of young gentlemen, few days since,
while on an excursion to the country, were ia
ken sick, after having eaten of cheese which
they had taken with them, from which they
suffered severely. Some OF them still remain
unWcll, but no serious consequences are appre-
hendcd. There can be doubt as to the cause of
at, -;, ,,,J 10
tious how they partake of cheese.
!; .4,npm1iion The colorcd boy, George, who
was injured on Thursday morning by falling
off the cars in Pratt street, we are sorry to say,
was so badly hurt that amputation of the leg
was deemed essentially necessary to save his
life. The leg was taken off Yesterday by Prof
Smith in sElful manner, and the patient is
likely to do we'll.
: Threatening Life. Richard Bassett for tilrea-
, tening the life of James McNulty, was arrested
yesterday by officers Mcdonnell and Ruy, and
released on security to keep the peace by JUS
ticc McAlister.
70 Keep the Peace. Edward Woods, John
, Hagan and William Scarborough, charged with
abusing and threatening the family of Charles
Schrigy, were yesterday released OH security
to keep the peace by Justice Cockey. The ar
rest was made by officer Bernhard,
Ocner TAINTED. Beniamin Davis was yes
) tcrday committed to Jail by Justice Brewer, for
having in his possession large piece of cast
iron, which he is supposed to have come by
dishonesty. The iron is at the office Of the
Justice.
.qyrest of Semi Demi. This notorious thief
and two Of his accompllces, named Lewis Sapp
and VIM. Merit, were arrested late on Thurs
day afternoon, by high constable Clifford and Il
posse of his officers. They are charged with
, stealing a quantity of silk and other handker-
chiefs, from the stole Of Mr. II. Roborg, in
Baltimore street, 1t appears that Semi-Demi,
Sapp, Merritt, and Others have been living in
the woods, near Harris factory, on Jones' Falls,
for some time, accompanied by some females,
and have maintained themselves by podding to
the country people, the product of their spoils;
retailing bottles of sweet oil at II l-2 cents;
selling combs, brushes, Sc, at trihng prices,
and pIunderng from the neighboring farm hou-
ses. They had a regular encumpment when
they were surrounded by the officers, and gave
them long chases before captured. Seni-Demi
had FIVE barrels of revolving pistol fred at
hlm before he could be taken BY the officer in
pursuit. They were fully committed by JUS
ticc Miller. for trial at the next term of the ci-
ty court.
many handsome improv ements which have been
made in the widening, grading, paving, &c., of
this street, formerly Market street, FeIl's Point,
? and in the erection of blocks of large and ele-
} CANT dwellings. The beauty of the street has
been somewhat marred, for the present, with a
= view, however, TO still further Improvement
r The North Market House, having been found,
upon examination, TO be TOO much deCayed to
admit of useful repairs, has agreeably to an Of
= dinance, passed at the last session Of the Coun-
f cils been eyelled with the ground, and lis
e place is TO be supplied By more spacious and
e substantial one. For the convenience of the
: public, in the meanwhile, 4 temporary frame
work has been erected on the lot known as one
= Of the Parks" Immediately North of the head
= of the market square, the fences having been
taken from around both Of these enclosures, in
accordance with resolution of the City Coun-
| ellis, also passed at the last session. While
! speaking of the "Pafksn we would suggest to
:, the City Council, that at its next annual ses-
: sion, both squares should be removed entirely,
and that portion of the street graded and paved
to correspond with the more northern part
If suffered to remain as they now are, even al:
ter the removal of the temporary market house
alluded to, they will continue 20 present most
unsightly appearance, destroying entirely the
beauty of the other parts Of the street, as they
: have already become thorougllfares for omni-
buses, carts, drays, sc. Not the least among
the ornaments of this street, when finished, will
be the new Presbyterian Church at the corner
of Cough street and Broadway which is now
in rapid progress of completion. More new
} buildings, in addition to those noticed by US
some time since, are in progress Of construc-
ton, and the work of widening and grading
portion of the street, North Of East Baltimore
street, is already under way. When the con-
tempated improvements are finished, we shall
be able to congratulate our fellow citizens of
the Eastern section of the city on having, in
their midst, one of the most beautiful avenues
in the city, comnaading ine view of the har-
