RESULT OF A CERTAIN SORT OF NovELS.-ln
Philadelphia, some ten days SINCE, young man
named Francis Hughes, between eighteen and nine
teen years of age, was arrested on charge of rob-
bling a mill. When arrested, he gave his name as
Boyd, but was afterwards recognized by the Police
as Hughes. He is said to be the leader Of gang
of burglars, and to have assumed the name of
Jack Shepard" One of his accomplices, who
called himself g Blueskin,' was arrested and sent
to prison some time ago No less than .fUe indict-
ments for burglary have already been found against
Hughes. Here can be seen the legitimate effects

ORLEANS THEATRE.-The performances at the
Orleans Theatre this evening for the benefit of
the Charity Hospital. BelIinis grand opera of
Norma, and a favorite farce will be performed.
When pleasure can be combined with charity,
surely amusement cannot be bought too dearly.
We hope sincerely that numerous audience may
be in attendance. The expenses Of the Charity
Hospital during the last year have been very heavy,
and but small appropriation is made for its SUP
port, it behooves all those who have the 'milk of
human Kindness" to lend the cause a helping
hand.

More News from Yucatan.

The Patria. of Yesterday, contains later news
from Yucatan, by which we learn that the VIOLA
ton of the late treaty was the act OF The whites, and
not of the Indians. The Pdtl7a says: 1t appears
that the Indians confding in the treaty of peace,
recently concluded, entered the town of Iturbide,
where they were very well received by the inhabi-
tants. In short time party of Campeachean
troops arrived, commanded by certain Baqueiro,
who, when he was informed that there were In
dams within the town, determined to attack them,
in spite of the treaty. although he was informed by
the people that they had committed no depreda-
lions. Baqueiro, however, carried his intention
into effect, and expelled the Indians from the town
The Indians sent word to Pat, who Immediately
dispatched reinforcement sufficiently large to
take the town and overcome the troops Of Baqueiro
and these heroes, Oh the approach of the Indians,
Immediately took to fight and did not stop tlntll
they reached Campeachy, % leagues distant Me-

LOST Observation-Disclosures c. Higgins, sea-
man, aged about twenty three years, was lost over

while on her voyage from Boston to this port
Yesterday we were presented
with four strawberries, by gentleman in the La
fayette car. They were from the garden of MIR. j.
B. AEnault on the corner of Live Oak and Seventh
streets, city of Lafayette The weight of the ber-
res without leaves, was within the weight of a
dime of being an ounce. The largest measured
three inches and sixteenth-the total circumter-
ence of the four was eleven inches and seven
eighths-their flavor was most delicious.
We are informed that some of the plants have
borne as many as sixty-three berries at a time.
Think of this, We citizens of the north, and believe
that Louisiana is great place. and that cur sister
city is particularly great for the growth of straw
berries
