Badiy Cm. An alteration occurred yoster-

case, an unofending individual was made to

former occupant, got into tracas in which a
pitcher was thrown, which hit young gentle
man named Albert McCIasky ntthe mouth,
cutting his upper lip eatrely through, making
cash two inches in length. Mr. McClasky
had Just finished shaving, and was in the act
of brushing his hair at the glass. The negro,

FeraliouS DepredationS. We have frequent
ly had occasion to mention the destruction or
stealing of flowers, shrubs, Sc, in yards of this
city, by BOYS or others; and we have now to
add another instance in which family living
in the Western section of the city had their
front yard entered, and their flowers and
shrubs carried off, and the bushes much iniur-
ed This is practice of which a Hottentot
would be ashamed. 1t is delightful to see lots
decorated with flowers; and no person with feel
ings superior to those of the brute, would be
guilty oflnvadinG yard thus adorned, Tor the
purpose of depriving it Of SO great an orna-
ment. We hope that these petty deprcdators
may yet be caught and punished.
Singular. We heard yesterday Of the sin
guiar circumstance of person up town, hav-
inc on that morning returned number of
borrowed books While we were thinking Of
the strange within, which could have induced
the borrower to return the books, another per-
son came in the store where we were sitting
and returned borrowed umbrella! Verify, IA
reformation is going on, or the millennium is
near at hand.
The Harmonious. In consequence of an
unforeseen circumstance this excellent band of
musicians were unable to perform last even
ing, as advertised. They appear this evening
however, without fail at the Assembly Rooms,
and will no doubt be greeted with large and
fashionable auditory. See the small bills.
