We were saluted again on Saturday night
with the familiar sound of the boatman's horn,
indicating that the break on our canal had been
repaired, and navigation thereon fully resumed !;
and every thing about the canal and wharves,
this morning, presents quite contrast with the
last few weeks, everything this morning being
life and activity.
Look out for Burglars. Friday night last,
the dwelling house of Mr.. ]. Orme was entered
by thief or thieves, who stole therefrom an
overcoat and a valuable set of knives and forks.
There is no doubt that their principal object
was money, from the fact that they rummaged
the drawers of sideboard which contained
number Of valuable articles, all Of which they
left. II is supposed that they were foiled in
their designs by oil the doors of the second
story of the house, where the family were
sleeping, being locked. They entered through
one of the parlor windows.
Officer John Adams arrested this morning
Isaac Strasburg and his father, 49, Strasburg,
under two warrants each; one charging them
with violating corporation ordinance by throw
ing stones and other disorderly conduct in the
streets, and the other charging them with COM
hitting an assault and battery upon two boys
by the name of Burns. They were taken be-
fore Justice Reaver, who fined them each So
and costs, on the corporation cases, and held
them to bail in the sum of 5000 each for their
appearance before the criminal court at its next
session.
At the Methodist Episcopal church last even
ing the services were Of very interesting,
solemn, and impressive character. The pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. Lanahan, administered the ordi-
nance of baptism to number of adult persons,
and afterwards preached an eloquent sermon
upon the death and resurrection Of Christ. The
congregation was very large.
About three thousand pounds Of roll butter,
from wagons, changed hands this morning, at
$50 per one hundred pounds, good and bad.
Large quantities of -four are coming into
market this morning, by way Of the canal, but
have heard of no sales of moment Prices
of both -four and grain remain at Saturdays
quotations.
