CITY INTELLIGENCE.

hood Of East Baltimore and Canal streets, wer
aroused by the cry of "murder'' and "watch ;
: and all hands as III duty bound turned out in
= stanter TO see what was going on. On the roo
n OF house near the corner, two men were seen
one en- dishabiAe holding the other by the throa
'' with tenacious grasp, and who was crying
: most Justify for help. An officer was quick or
the roof and arrested the supp osed offender anc
brought him 10 the street, when he was taker
C to the Watch house, and the affair invcstigat
d ed. The party who had him by the throat
g accused him of being midnight robber, but an
t explanation from the prisoner, and third par
| ty-a iemale-settled the matter satisfactorily.
/ 1t appeared that the prisoner had learned that
, his namOrala was located in the house in cues
. ton and determined to have an interview at
all hazards. He accordingly got on the roof OF
, The house, and was discovered by his accuser in
suspicious situation as he thought at that time
OF night, and he therefore got out on the roof
and caught the unfortunate wight, who imagin-
} ing himself in bad predicament, began to cry
out murder" The explanation being salts
factory he was discharged. We guess he will
be more careful another time how he attempts
to get into garnet wndow-he might catch
something worse than a choking

The Weather. The weather still continues
uncommon cold and disagreeable for the season
OF the year Fires are by no means uncom-
Portable early in the morning, and every thing
feels like the fall Of the year. Such a sudden
and long continued change in the temperature
OF the weather, must cause much sickness, I'M
less persons use every precaution by changing
their clothing to suit the out of place season |
Every other person you meet now, has a severe
cold or cough, and from appearances but few |
will escape Influenza is very common.
