The ALEXANDRIA LYcEUM, which we had
the pleasure of visiting few evenings ago,

respected city may cultivate their taste for
science and literature, consult the pages of
history, and every other department of hui

and intellectual character Here they may
spend their winter evenings in reading some
of the best periodicals and pamphlets that
are regularly issued from the various presses
of this and other countries which science
and literature have made their favorite abodes.
Here they may listen to the popular and in
structive lecturer, as he treats on the most
attractive subjects, and testifes from what
he has himself seen and examined of the
-wondrous and interesting relics of Hercu-

ROBBERY.
Mr.. Owen Colgan, of 80 James-street,
was robbed on Sunday night Of $36 in sill
yer, and $40 in bank bills, by some person
who is supposed to have secreted himself in
the garret, previous to locking up the house
for the night The money was taken from
small trunk, containing his receipts of the
day, which was placed on the mantel of the
bed chamber of his clerk. Yesterday morn
ing the trunk was found in the hall, broken
open, and the money taken out. Herald.
Mr.. c. must be doing a great business to
take in $46 on the Sabbath; but we sup
pose the receipts were increased by the
tremendous excitement caused by the
Herald intimating that change of incum-
bents on the Police bench of this city was
likely to take place. Let us see, forty-six
dollars would pay for fifteen hundred and
thirty-thrce glasses at three cents each, the
profits on which, 1--WE mean to the seller
could not be less than thirty dollars A
great business, truly-forthe dealer Brook
Ign Daily .Ado.
And very bad business, too, for the Gus
toners and the community, if we should go
into a calculation of the family brawls, as
saults and batteries, tears, groans, broken
hearts and beggared firesides, resulting from
these 1888 doses Of liquid damnation! Sup
pose some avaricious baker, wishing to
make all the money he could seven days in
the week, should keep his bread shop open
on the Sabbath day, and do business Of
SSp46, would not the whole community, rum
sellers and all, declare it an outrage against
decency, good order, and lazy itself? Why
is it that the class of men doing more real
injury than all other bad classes combined,
not excepting thieves, robbers and pirates
the world over, are still privileged by law
and law administrators beyond every other
class.-.Neao York Organ.

CRIMlNAL CoURT-The business Of the
present term of the Criminal Court, which
commenced the first Monday Of December,
has already occupied five weeks, and the
docketis far from being cleared. tits thought
by some that the Court will bring the busi-
ness OF this term to close at the end oithe
present week; but that seems to be doubt
iul. We understand the fourth murder case,
United States Us. Williams, free negro, who
is charged with the murder of his wife, near
Georgetown,) will commence nextThursday,
and that case may continue several days.
Within the last week new cases also have been
brought under the notice of the grand Jury,
and these may require the action of the petit
jury before the adjournment Of the Court.
1t is due to the Hon Judge CRAWFORD to
state that he has been exemplary in the dis
patch of the criminal business, uniformly
sitting every day from ten o'clockuntl four,
and sometimes not adjourning the court until
ten O'Clock at night
Fifteen prisoners have already been tried,
convicted, and sentenced to the penitentiary
"a number which, as we learn, is unprece-
dented at any single Term since the establish
ment of the Criminal Court. Several very
old offenders have already been convicted,
and are now in confinement at labor in the
District Penilentiary.
The court and jury were occupied during
the whole Of last Friday in the second trial
of Ignatius Grimes, free negro who was
charged with grand larceny in stealing twen-
ty-six dollars i'll money from Darnel Chew,
Gree mulatto.) The prisoner seemed to
have borne good character, and greatdeal
Of Interest was manifested in regard to his fate.
He was defended dy Messers. Radcliffe and
Woodward The case did not go to the ju-
ry until Saturday morning. After retiring
for short time, the prisoner was found gull
ty, and the Court sentenced him to suffer
eighteen months in the penitentiary, to take
an effect from and after the 18th instant. The
prisoner before and after the passing Of the
sentence upon him, solemnly declared his in
nocence.
George w. Ialburt, indicted for an as
sault and battery upon Zachariah Berry, was
tried and acquitted. This trial lasted for seve-
raj hours, and created more than common
interest The defence was conducted by
Messrs. Carlisle and Radcliffe.
Two or three common cases of assault
and battery were tried in the latter part ofthe
day.
The Court adjourned at the usual hour
until yesterday morning at ten O'Clock, when
the trial of Wesler Scott, charged with for
gerry, was commenced
