! Cases for Court. Frederick Kephardt was
arrested by the watch of the Eastern District
on Tuesday night, charged with assaulting and
beating his wife. He was committed to ap-
pear at Court, on Saturday, by Justice Meal
! lister. Officer Ruley yesterday arrested Jo-
seph Clark, on the charge of assaulting and
beating Barbara Kness He was released on
security to appear at Court, by the same JUS

/ .9rrestsd on Suspicion The watch of the
Middle District, on Tuesday night, arrested
negro, named Richard Hanson, on suspicion of
having stolen a lot of tobacco, He was exam
! ned in the morning and discharged for the
want of sufficient evidence.
/ Found Open. As usual we see by the seve-
raj reports Of the watch for Tuesday night,
that number of windows and doors of stores
and dwellings were found unfastened by the
watchmen and secured. 1t cannot be wonder
ed that robberes take place sometimes, when
such facilities are afforded to thieves to enter
buildings. A little care would save a great
deal of trouble and loss.
Disturbing the peace Officer Mcdonald yes
| terday arrested james Cane, colored, charged
with disturbing the public peace Justice Nc
AIli5ter committed him to Jail in default of Sc
curity to keep the peace.
PLumbs DdguerreottpeS. We were shown
yesterday two beautiful Dagueueotype pictures
taken in Washington-the one representing the
"Capltol,n u and the other "Perscos Statue of
Columbus. They were on quite small scale.
but every part was deHneated with a nicety
ana precision that was truly astonishing and
certainly reflects great credit on the artist for
his skill One could scarcely imagine that so
large building as the Capitol could be so ac-
curately and minutely described within so small
compass, or that statue like that of Colum-
bus could be 80 perfectly represented, and it
certainly requires an inspection of these exqui-
site Daguerreotypes. to properly appreciate
their merit. We refer the public to the Da- |
guerrian Gallery of Mr.. Plumbe, No. 2O5 Bal |
tmore street, feeling assured that they will be
gratied by visit and inspection of the por-
traits and pictures which are there displayed. .
