Tie assault and Robbery of Mr.. Hicks Sontag's

BALTIMORE, December l5-5 p. IN.
The assault and robbery OF Hooper c. Hicks,
esq. which telegraphed 10 you last evening, has
accustomed much excitement in this city, and
were it not for the character and ctabilty Of
their vic tim some would be disposed to doubt the
truth OF his statement. That such outrage could
have been committed in the very heart OF the city,
at 80 early an hour in the evening, seems truly in
applicable, but the rope, the marks of the s.rug-
gle and the condition Of Mr.. Hicks, efectually
put an end to all doubts. The police are exert
ing themselves to discover and capture the high
waymen. ..... ...".
Sontag's fret concert last evening was truly
brilliant-the house was thronged to excess, and
the applause evinced a most delighted audience.
Our best musical critics pronounce her the great
est vocalist that has visited this country The
enthusiasm Ia 80 great that the office has been
thronged all day with purchasers OF So tickets for
the second concert TO morrow night. She was
compelled to repeat portions of every piece last
night, amid the most vociferous enthusiasm.
The Aztec children close their levees here to-
morrow, and will Immediately proceed to Wash
ington They are as indescribable as they are Won
derful in their appearance, and after visiting them
it seems impossible to divest the mind OF the i'm
preston they create, and the thoughts they sug-
gest as to their origin and history. They are as
lively as crickes, understand every thing that is
eaid to them. but an only articulate very few
words. .l, .. ......

CITY Reminis nces-The WoodcOck Cues
Joseph H. Bradley, esq,, has addressed the fol-
lowing remarks to the editors of the Intelligencer
replicatory to the letter of Mr. Watterston on the
subject of the old time pccuarities of the streamle
in the neighborhood of II and 18th streets, in this
city: ... e .a ....-.
GENTLEMEN: MIR. George Watterston il generally
as accurate as any chronicle, but he is mistak en-
in his recollections of Washington, published in
your paper of to day, and in his correction of the
testimony of Mr. John Wilson and my statement
If said had often shot woodcock at the place in
dictated, il was a casual remark. not intended to
be literally understood But ii did not shoot
them often, did my beet and scared them terri
bly,. The fret woodcock ever saw was when
small boy, and went to those grounds with
Mr.. Samuel Blodget, capital shot, keeping the
best dogs have ever seen; keen sportsman, and
sketchng with great skill. There is now in my
fathers family a life like sketch made by him OF
his two dogs in the act of pointing, which he took
on one occasion when ], then good sized boy, was
with him. The dogs stood till he had made his
sketch; he then flushed the birds, and killed one
with each barrel. But to come back to the wood
cocks. He shot the birds in what was then
marshy ground, between 18th and l4th streets,
and X and H, and carried the game. should
think this was about the year 1912. soon after
that learned to shoot, and have shot snipe in the
same place lats as 1917, or the spring Of 1878.
have repeatedly seen Mr., N. P. Frye, now living
in this city, Mr.. p. Mauro, and, believe, Mr..
Schwartz, and also a Mr.. Lewis, keen sports
man, on the same grounds. am afraid Mr.. Wat
terston had not much taste for hunting or fishing.
Mr.. Wilson's statement is undoubtedly truc.
There large hole in the water west
of and not far from 1lth street, as believe which
have often seen, in which, as we boys understood,
the schoolboys bathed and caught fish. do not
know the facts of my own knowledge, but know
the boys used then to speak of them as facts He
is mistaken also as to the rise of the tide. When
was schoolboy my uncle, DR.. P. Bradley, resided
on E street. between 9th and 10th, and have often
the tide above E street. and have caught hsh
at the culvert, and once assisted in catching her.
rings at the same place. ,t-rg %. -. -.
Think if Mr.. Watterston will inquire, he will
find more than two persons besides himself who
were here in 1898. know three who are said to
have been here then, and have heard OF others
l refer to Joseph Harbaugh, Jacob Kleiber, and
Truman Burns, who, believe, ia still living.
My own recollection, however, cannot 60 be-
yond the year 1904 when it ia said FIRST made
my appearance in any part OF this world.
