CITY INTELLlG ENCE.
ShllS and Ferry Boats in Demand We UNI
derstand that the denzens OF the "Monumen-
tai city," (not of the North Point or Jackson
Monuments have in contemplation to employ
ierrymen at tho various crossings of Baltimore
and Pratt Streets whose duty ii shall be to con-
vey across these quagmres, all uckness wights
whnm duty, business or necessity compel to
visit these localities Stills are also to be placed
at those points where the thickness Of the mire
would ondanger the safe passage ofthe ferry
boats. 1t is SAID that the Bacon ties, Pork-ites,
and Roastcrs, who have for so long time eek
cluslvely" monopolscd this portion Of the city,
have with patriotic pride, refused any longer TO
assist the city authorities in their audabe en-
deavors to keep the "ways" clean, having de-
cidod that it is "luuatico SuCGu,' TO venture
any fur ther than the curb stones, uudGr any
circumstances. We have not heard the varl-
Gus trequentCd cross streets Of the city mention
ed, which We account for, from the fact, that
they can be safely waded over yet, but hope
that the phlanthrOpiC individuals who intend
furnishing the ferry boats and stills, will hu
namely have liic-buoys also placed at the most
dangerous points, with the Irshman's warning
npon them, -"When the mud and water is over
this post, don't be after venturing across"
Again Postponed The cases of the two young
men charged with the violence on the person
of the German girl Ehrman, and which were
removed from this city to Anne Arundel coun-
ty court, have been again postponed until the
April term, 1871 in consequence, this time, of
the non-appearance OF the prosecutrix Two
Of the party were acquitted in our city court,
two more are on bail awaiting their trial m
Anne Arundel court, and Roberts, the other
party, convicted IN the city court, of an as
sault, with intent &c., remains confined in jail,
not sentenced,
Rain, Rain, Rain. Since Saturday morning
last, we have had nothing but rain, rain, and
about as much prospect OF n clearing up, as Mr..
Wise has with his luOn, of coming the "drop
game" over San Juan de Uoa Some people
say that it Is very fine weather for young ducks
an assertion we are not disposed to doubt, pro-
vided water benefits them in the least. We do
hope, however, that sold Boreas" will assume
his prefogative soon, and cause it to either
''clear off, or "clcar up"
.1mende. In the list of constdblcs under the
city court, as published in our paper of Satur-
day, typographical error occurred. The nam
OF james Stewart" should have been James
Serdrd, worthy officer, who has been reap
pointed, and not left off as our list would I'M
ply.
