American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-03-14

Handsome Present We learn that the Off
GERS and privates of the SD Regiment of Ma
ryland Volunteers have had prepared a very
large and beautiful silver pitcher which they
purpose presenting to Col. Jacob e. Davies,
who commands the regiment, in testimony OF
their respect and esteem for him as a soldier
and gentleman. The presentation will take
place on the evening of the esd inst, Monday
week, J at o'clock, at the Washington Hall,
the use of that building having been generous
" proffered by Col. Hugh Gelston, the pro-
pretor. The regiment will appear in full uni
form on the occasion, and the proposed cere-
mony will be of highly interesting character.
The pitcher is valued at $50, and is of most
beautiful workmanship and finish, and will no
doubt be highly priced by the receiver, who
must consider it as very high compliment
We suppose as the whole regiment is to appear
on the occasion, that the designations of ''them
officers" will not take place till after the pres
entation.
The Eastern Fountain. A resolution passed
the first branch of the City Council yesterday
afternoon, authorizing the sale of the lot belong
ing to the city OH Gay ST., the proceeds to be
appropriated to the purchase of the vacant pro-
perty adjoining the Eastern Fountain, for
the purpose of converting it into public walk,
II vet remains for the second branch to act ia
vorably upon the resolution, to crafty a very
large number of our citizens, and we hope that
nothing may occur to retard or defeat the reso-
luton. Our city is very deficient in public
grounds, and as this location is not only desi-
rabe but we believe would be advantageous
in many points of view, we shall be pleased to
see the adoption Of the resolution as passed by
the first branch.
Further Particulars of the yDeianchoiu Occur
renee Of Thursday. Since the publication of
our statement in yesterdays paper in regard to
the melancholy occurrence of the previous
day, we have ascertaned the following parti
culars. The unfortunate infant was buried at
ii o'clock yesterday forenoon. The little girl,
Ursula, though much weakened by the loss of
blood, is rapidly recovering. Mrs. White her
self is in a very critical condition. She had
several paroxysms of her malady during the
day. Her fever still continues, though its Sc
verify is much abated. Her recovery is consi-
dered doubtful.
County Court. In the case of Carrere VS..
Owens, administrator of Thomas Boyle, an ac-
ton to recover the amount of some $4,000,
was compromised and verdict taken by con-
sent for plaintiff with So, l20.43. For plaintiff,
Messrs. Nelson and Latrobe.
The case of Andrew Musgrave VS.. Alexander
II. Bullet, returned from the Court of Appeals,
being an action to recover for certain improve
ments on a Potomac fishery, and which was
commenced on Thursday, occupied the Court
during yesterday.
Resignation and appointment We learn that
George H. Sanderson, Esq, has resigned his
situation as Treasurer of the Post Office of
this city, and has been appointed clerk to the
in place of Mr.. Geo. F. Miller, re-
moved. He entered on the duties of the lat
ter Office on the LIST inst.
The Fish Markets. Both the Lexington and
Bel-Air markets were filled yesterday with the
finest and largest quantities of rock, shad,
perch, pike, herrings, &C., we almost ever saw.
The lovers Of the "proauce of the rivers" can
satisfy their various tastes at small expense,
prices being exceedingly moderate.
Riot and Attempt TO Shoot. The watch of the
Eastern district on Thursday night arrested
German, named Annas Vannel, on the charge
of rioting at the house of Susan Barrett, and
with Aourshing a loaded pistol. Waterman
Hague was called in, when Vannel pointed
the pistol at him and pulled the trigger, but
fortunately it snapped and did not go off He
was placed in safe keeping all night, and yes
terday morning committed to jail by Justice
Letournau to appear at Court on Saturday.
Charge Of Assault. Lieut. Austin of the
Middle district on Thursday night arrested
Mary Kelly, on the charge of assaulting and
striking Margaret Fay. Justice Wilson held
her to bail to appear for further examination.
Alarm of Fire. The alarm of fire about half
past O'Clock yesterday morning, was caused
by the partial burning of Barber shop on
Hanover street, adjoining the Drug Store of
Messrs. Roberts s. Atkinson. 1t was undoubt-
eddy the work of an incendiary, but the timely
discovery saved the destruction of much pro-
perty. The damage done was very slight, ow-
ing to the activity of the citizens and fremen.
Burglary, The office attached to the lum-
Der yard of Mr.. James Williams, situate on
South Charles street, between Conway and
Barry streets, was broken into by burglars
on Thursday night, the desk broken
open and S24 in money taken out, and black |
trock coat, and an overcoat, nearly new, car
red off. No clue has been obtained to the
burglars. 1t behooves the police to keep a
sharp look out, for our city appears to be in
tested with rogues and desPeradoes.
Case for Court. Officers Gross and Pam
Phlion yesterday arrested James Bond, senr.,
charged with assaulting and beating John Nj.
Flyn. Justice Brewer released him on secu-
rty TO appear at Court.
