as security for the good conduct and appear
ance Ofthe females at court, but the ia tice not

They determined then at all hazards to have
them out, and accordingly proceeded to the
house, got into the yard and attempted by blud-
geons aud stones to force the door, in which
theywouId in all probability have succeeded but
for the interterenceof some citizens. These fact

Seuere accident. Yesterday afternoon, about
half past O'Clock, as the Frederick train of
cars was coming in the city, when opposite the
Three Tun Tavern, in Pratt street. young
man named Pell, in attempting to jump off
car, fell and was caught under the Wheels
which crushed both legs, dreadfully decorating
and woundIng him. He was picked up, and u
litter having been obtained from the lnfirmary,
near by he was conveyed to his residence, in
Green street, where medical aid was immedi-
ately in attendance. 1t is supposed that both
legs will have to be amputated and his recove-
ry is extremely doubtful, the heat of the wealth
er being SO much against him. He was pat
tern maker by trade, and had come in from Ell
licott's Mills. This is another instance of the
folly of persons ri king their lives in attempt
ing to get of the cars, whilst they are in mo.
ton.
Chmge Of Stealing. young man named
! William M. King, was arrested yesterday, by
officer Stephen Darden, on the charge of steal
ing coat, shirt, pair of gloves, and a pair of
| ladies' shoes, the property Of Isaac Darrell. He
was making good use of tire plumber, as the
shirt was found upon his hack, and the gloves
Oh his hands. King went to the boarding house
of MIR. ChiIds, in Pratt street, near Howard,
and after engaging board went up stairs, where
he managed to obtain the above articles, with
which he decamped, and went and took board
ing at Lovds Union Hotel, where he was ar
rested justice Showacre committed him for
tIial at the approaching term Of the city court.
The Stolen Goods. A large am unit and va
rety of goods, which were obtained by officer
! Hay and Snyder, from the Gypsey burglars,
| yet remain in the possession of the officers I'M
| reclaimed. Near fifty persons have identified
and obtained goods out of this wholesale lot,
and there ale "few more of the same sort
| lettn on hand; among which are two pieces Of
excellent store catpeting, nearly new, and
worth about 81 per yard, of red, green, and
| yellow ground and flowers also splendid grey
cashmere cloak, double cape and lined, worth
$50. 1t would do we'll for persons who have
lost goods within the past year to call and ex-
anime, for they would more than probably find
them.
".Much ado about nolhing.' No little excite
ment was created between the hours Of l2 and
| o'clock yesterday morning, by the cry of
murder! UGtchf caichi fro n the house of gen
teman in Courtand, near Saratoga st. The
neighbors we reused out oftheir sIeep-fthey
we're SO lucky as to get any. The Waterman
sprung his rattle, aud soon there were half
drzen on the spot, and a thorough search was
made from "tUp to bottom" but the supposed
midnight assassin was not there! 1t appears
that the servant of the house, was dreaming
that some one was numbering her, and awak-
I ing gave the alarm. IT'S to be hoped that she
will not d cam any more of being murdered"
as it very annoying to the nelghOots
Handsome Present. An association Of young
lads, between Is and Is years ofage, presented
tho "Old Defenders" with beautiful Ameri.
can Flag last evening at the City Hall. The
presentation was made or the part ofthe young
lads bv Masters George A. Peters and Andrew
J. Wl!iar, with al appropriate address, and was
received by the President of the "Association
of Old Defenders" in a neat reply. 1t was a
NOBLE testimonial, and we know will be highly
| priced.

trell VS.. the K ppahannock Steamboat Com
pany, an action to recover for water supplied
the boats of the line No decision yet. The

Returned. The gentleman who appropriate
ed tor short time, the hat of the worthy Jus
tice in Calvert street, seeing our notice Of the
loss in yesterday mornings paper, promptly re-
turned the "beaver," and received his own IN
its place The reason y he returned it, was
becau e, when he h I'd 1t on, he felt so much
| like the man, who was Away S committing sotn
act or other, which he knew he "had'ne
Ought'er."
Serious accident. A German, whose name
we could not learn, was quite seriously injured
on Saturday, while engaged at work in factory
on Fell's P int He had charge of the machine
r., and one Of his hands was so badly crushed
between the wheels that amputatlon was deem
ed necessary. The hand Was taken off OF Sa-
turday by Dr.. Dl hell. The unfortunate man
has Il large family.
