Fun for tie BoyS A large number of boys
assembled yesterday afternoon at the corner of
Baltimore and Calvert SITS, aud amused them
selves Nv throwing snowba!ls at the sleghs us
they passed by, causing Il considerable furry
among the ''insiders.n 1t was, without doubt,
considered by the boys great fun, but the oc-
cupants Of the sleighs, we incline to think, held
a different opinion, Judging from their rueful
visagcs and despatched garments as they passed
our office. But like every thing else, sport
will have an end, and sometimes, as III the pre-
sent case, a Sudden one, for in throwing
SNOWFALL they happened to strike the wrong
customer in the person of High Constable
Shut, who Immediately leaped from his sleigh, |
and such scamperlng among the Juveniles
never was known before.
/ ,4uotter Hotel Robbery. A gentleman from
Carlisle, stopping at the Wheatfeld Inn, in
Howard street, had his room entered on Thurs
day night by means Of false keys, and robbed
of about $4,000 in notes Of hand. Fortunate
| ly the gentleman, who had large amount of
money with him, deposited It IN the early part
Of the day in safe of the hotel. We repeat
the caution to travellers, to not only lock their
doors, but see that they are bolted on the in
side, otherwise there is no security against
! thieves.
Bold Robbery. One Of the most daring ard
accomplished robberes that was ever perpe-
traed in this city, occurred on Thursday. As
Mr.. John Garrett, of the firm of K. Garrett s.
Sons, was on his way to make a Geposi;e in
one of our banks, part of the money which he
had in the handbook was dexterouSly taken
therefrom, by some person who was doubtless
following him for the purpose. Mr.. Garrett
was not aware of the robbery until he missed
the funds on his arrival at the bank. The
amount stolen is Sl700. The robbery occurred
at | O'Clock in the day near the corner of Fay
cite and Howard-st.
Executive CIemency. William James, found |
guilty of violating the gambling law, and SEN
fenced to fine and Imprisonment, has been par
doned by the Governor.
Successful Forgery. A check was presented
at the counter of the Union Bank on Thursday, |
for 81, 755.55, and cashed by the teller, which
was subsequently asccrtained to be forged
The public are cautioned against receiving $500
notes on that Bank, as three Of them were
paid in part for the check, and there being on
ly one of that denomination out besides, the !
Bank having determined to issue no more Of
them. This is the second successful forgery
that has recently been committed on Banks in |
this city.
Rans,cay. The horses attached to two mar
ket wagons took fright yesterday morning, |
caused by the ringing of the bell at the lower
end of the Fel's Point market, and ran at the
top of their speed a considerable distance up
Thames street. An old gentleman, the owner
of one of the wagons, in attempting to arrest
the speed of the horses, accidentally fell, and
the wagon passed over his body, bruising him
in quite serious manner. He was carried in
to a neighboring house and every attention paid
him.
