The Excursion 10 CGmbridge-.4 Rescue.
The excursion of the Luther Chapel Sabbath
School to Cambridge, on Tuesday, in the
steamboat Mary Washington, proved highly
delightful TO large and respectable company
of ladies and gentlemen, whose correct and or
DERBY department elected the admiration OF the
hospitabe citizens of that place, and formed a
striking contrast to the conduct ofsome who left
| here on the 4th. We learn that little son of
| Mr.. Joseph Busick, of this city, on attempting
TO lump from the wharf at Cambridge, on board
the Mary Washington, accidentally fell into the
dock, but was fortunately rescued by Mr John
Bradshaw, the worthy host of the hotel at Cam
bridge, who instantly plunged into the water,
and soon restored the little fellow to his graft
fed parents.
Rorcdyism. We hear complaints made of
gangs of genteel young rowdios, no are in the
habit of congregating in Sharp street, at the
corners of Baltimore and Lombard streets, anu
sing themselves with insulting and abusing the
inoifensve colored people who worship in the
Shary street church. A few evenings since,
quite an old negro man was struck over the
head By one ofthese parties, most severe blow,
and but for the appearance of an officer would
no doubt have been badly injured, and all with
out the least cause or provocaton, and we hope
that some of the parties may be caught and
made an example of.
n ColcaYdly Act. On Tuesday night, between
10 and II O'Clock, gentleman who was pass
ing along the west side of Hartford Run, be-
tween East Baltimore and Pitt streets, was
knocked down by some person. TO him unknown,
and his head considerably cut. Another per.
son coming up, the scoundrel fed, without be-
ing recognized No cause can be assigned for
the act, unless it was robbery.
Operation for Cataract. DR.. Chas. S. Reese,
! Of East Baltimore street, performed a successful
operation for cataract upon lady, on last Mon
day. She had been afflicted for two years and
was entirely blind. The operation was most
skillfully performed, and perfectly successful.
! TIE feelings of the lady in thus recovering her
sight, may be more readily imagined than de-
scribed.
