American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-09-26

been making in that direction. South Howard
street, from Montgomery street to the water
line, is nearly all graded, preparatory to being
paved, and a large number OF workmen are
now busily employed in grading Stockholm st.,
east from Eutaw to Light street, along the line
of which large quantity Of paving stones, and
curb stones of sawed granite are deposited rea-
dy for use. At the foot Of Howard street, a
fine wharf has been built and large quantities
of coal, lumber and wood, are being discharged
from vessels of light draught, that are enabled
to cross the Ferry Bar. We noticed also that
West, Cross, Hamburg, Henrietta, and Mont
gomery streets, from Eutaw to Charles street,
are nearly all graded and paved, the balance
being in a rapid state of progression. The
grading and paving of these streets, has been
done under contract by MIR. Aler, and their
fine appearance is highly credtable to him. A
number of new brick dwellings are likewise be-
ing erected in this portion Of the city, all de-
noting spirit of improvement most laudable
in the propertyholders. From present appear
ances the day is rot far distant when this sec
ton of Baltimore will all have been built up,
and where considerable mercantile business
will be transacted, on wharves erected on the
line of the Spring Gardens. Persons who have
not visited this neighboIhood lately, would be
astonished at the Improvements being made.
.4rriuaI of Indians. Twenty-three Winnie
bago Indians, chiefs and braves, arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon, by the Philadelphia
train of cars, and after dining at Stockbridge's
Hotel, Pratt street, departed for Washington
at O'Clock. They are under charge of Genl.
Fletcher, Indian agent at Fort Atkinson, Iowa,
Mr. ii. l.. Donsman, S. B. Lowry, and some
ten other white men, One Of the chiefs is said
to be upwards of so years of age, and the
whole party were painted in the most elaborate
and fantastic manner, causing them to look by
no means progressing. We learn that they
received $500 from the U. S. government be-
fore they started, to complete their wardrobe,
and took great pride in exhibiting themselves
along their route. They were dressed in the
fullest forest style and custom, and during their
short sojourn, were the "li0ns'' of the day.
They proceed to Washington to settle some
difficulty about the sale Of their lands to the
government, preparatory to removing farther
west.
A Sad Case. Yesterday morning a we'll
known chap up town, entered the office of JUS
tlce Wright, on the corner of Eutaw and Fay
cite streets, and not having the fear of the law,
or commitment for contempt before his eyes,
kicked up quite runpus. He said he had
been assaulted and beaten, and struck with
and although he made an effort to
find the scars, no person was able besides him
self to see them. He boled out of the Office
ut last, and sprang into the carriage of q phys
lcian in the street, who Immediately saw that
he was laboring under mania potlt. He sub
came back into the Office, where the
physician induced him to drink a prescription
of salts. A few moments afterwards friend
came along in wagon, when he rushed out of
he office and sprang in with him, who seeing
lis condition took him away. When in the
office he drank portion of 4 vial of laudanum,
before it could be taken away, but not enough
o njure him. 1t was sad spectacle to look
lpon.
City Court. No business was transacted be-
ore this court yesterday, other than receive the |
Of the Grand Jury. The Petit
Jury were discharged on Thursday until Mon
lay. The decisions of the court on the points |
If law in the Fayette street appeal cases will
,e given this morning. We inadvertently made |
he State party to the appeals, in our paper
If Thursday. The main issue is between the |
Churches and the Commissioners; Messrs. Rich |
rdson and Freshman, representing the churches,
nd Messrs. Nelson and Campbell, the commIs-
toners. There are also other issues involved,
making it quite interesting, the decisions of
which are considered very important.
County Court. The case of Corner & Sons,
IS. The Augusta (Ga.) Insurance Company,
n action to recover the amount ola policy of
on vessel, is still before this tribu-
lal,
The Appeal Court The business before this
tribunal Is being rapidly progressed with. The
Is LIST case on the docket has been reached,
which shows that the court has not been in
active.
Fun il, Prospect. A gentleman doing large
business in Baltimore street, was posted yester-
day morning on the corner of Baltimore and
Calvert streets, with the avowed purpose of
Ihrashing a certain ex.colonel, who, 1t appears |
had given him great cause Of offence tew days
since. At our latest information yesterday
evening, the parties had not met, and conse-
1uently, the drubbng is postponed until anotl-
er day. Both are considered by knowing ones
to be good pluck, and about an equal match-so
that fine sport may be anticipated, when the
affair comes of;-perhaps the tables may be
turned, and the ticker may get licked!
Steamboat .4ccident The steamer Governor
Wolcott, which is used as tow-boat between
this city and Port Deposit, and which started
hence for the latter place, on Thursday even
ing, met with an accident at the mouth of the
Gunpowder river, which disabled her, so that
she had to be towed to this city for REPAIRS
A bolt in the cylinder, where the lever works,
broke off, rendering the engine useless. No
person was injured by the accident, and the da-
mage done is very trifing, and can soon be re-
paired. Some person started a rumor around
town, that she had been blown up and sunk in
the river, or we should not have considered the
accident worthy of paragraph.
Warning TO Boys. A small boy, whose name
or residence we could not learn, whilst playing
on the Point with some companions, by
standing on his head against wall, fell and
dislocated his neck, causing his death short
time afterwards This is a most dangerous
amusement, and we notice is being INDUCED in
