placed at the bar, and plead guilty. To the
inquiries ofthe court, ne stated that he had

since, on account Of alleged il-treatment, and
that since that time he has been in company
with other boys, pursuing a system ofpctty lar

Assault lruh Intent 10 Kill. A rencontre
came off on Monday evening, at the corner of
South Charles and York streets, between two
women, named Rosanna kcKenna and Mar
gaiet Thompson, which came near resulting in
the death Of the latter, 1t appears that an i'll
feeling has existed for a long time between the
two women, aud that, on this evening, Mrs.
NlcKenna was standing in tho door Of her hus-
bands shop, on the southeast corner Of the
above streets, having small child in her arms.
Mrs Thompson happened TO be passing, and
was looking very intent at Mrs McKenna,
when the latter asked her what she was look
ing at; Mrs. Thompson replied in a rough man
ner--a war Of words ensued, when Mrs. Me-
Kenna, running in the house, put down the
child, and grasping a large cheese-kn(e, which
lay on the counter, rushed out with it, and at
tackled Mrs. I. in desperate manner. She in
fllcted large wound across the top of her head,
cutting through to the bone, and iracturinp the
skull about three inches in length; both aims
were cut in a dreadful manner, as also one of
her breasts, besides several other cuts in the
head. Mrs. L. was carried home, some FIVE or
six doors off, and Dr. Batzell being sent for,
was Immediately in attendance, and dressed
the wounds, having at the time but little hope
OF her surviving the wound in her head Yes
terday morning, however, she appeared better,
and some hopes are entertained of her recove-
ry. officer Chisholm Immediately arrested Ro-
sanna Mckenna, and Justice Showacre held
her to bail for her appearance at court to an
swer the charge of assault with intent to kill.
.Narro,C Escape from Fire. A friend in taxi
ing stroll through the upper section of the
city, on Monday, while passing along Lombard
street, between Poppeton and Cove streets,
discovered smoke issuing from new brick
building, nearly finished, and calling to his aid
two colored men, engaged in saving wood in
the vicinity, forced an entrance and found a
portion OF the building in flames. The two
colored men promptly set to work procured two
buckets of water, and after hard STRUGGLE
TO eXtingush it, Had it not been for
the fortunate and timely discovery, and the
laudable exertions of the two colored men. the
building in short time would have been in
flames. 1t was no doubt set on fire, probably
by some mischevous boys.
I'm Improvement We perceive that the
foundation of a very large new dwelling, has
just been commenced on the southeast corner
of Franklin and Park streets, on tho lot for
number of years occupied by stone-cutting
1t is being built for Mr. Mavo,
in the modern style of architecture, and will
be an ornament TO that rapidly improving sec
ton Of the city. On the opposite corner, very
large four story brick dwelling is also nearly
which in outward appearance, and
interior arrangements, can scarcely he surpassed
by any building of the kind in Baltimore.
The ,Ns1c Baptist Church. This fine odifce
on the Northwest corner of Saratoga and Paca
streets, is rapidly progressing, the BRICK work
having been laid several feet above the first
story There will be an excellent, we'll venti-
lated basement to it, for schools, lectures, &C.,
and altogether it will be one of the handsomest
buildings of the kind in the city. 1t is expect
ed to be finished early this winter.
