RUy OvER.-Yesterday eveing, about Z
o'clock P. m, towards dusk, a respectfully
dressed man, whose name we could no. ascer-
tain for certain, but which we were informed
is Burt, residing somewhere in Ninth street.
was knocked down and run over BY a horse on
which another parry was riding, but who di |
not see him at the time, ia the Avenue.
opposite the Centre Market He was taken
into Claggett's Dry Goods Store, at the corner
of 9th street and Pennsylvania Avenue, where.
after shorttime, he was sufficiently recovered
to 60 home He did not appear to be very
much injured externally, but complained of a
pain in his side No blame, il is said, is
attributed to the rider, as towards evening it is
difficult Tor person On horseback to notice
those crossing. We hope that people who are
Careless ia crossing the Avenue during the
evening, and when it is dark will henceforth
look out, the blame is not always attri butable
70 the drivers This reminds US of a case tried
yesterday, in the Criminal Court, where a.
mulatto mas, named Ignatius Crimes, was
found guilty Of running 0. or boy named
Edward Lacy, by which the boys leg and arm
were broken. The accident happened eight
months ago, and the accused was in the en-
ploy of the Mexican Minister, General Alrnonts,
whose carriage and pair of horses he was
driving at the time
MARKET DAY--Among the important and
busy days in large cities none is more actively
important than market day. With the first
blush of morn comes wagons-dilapidated and
notwithstanding under the weight of pro-
duce of every kind, with proprietors eager and
jealous in their enaeavors to reach their stand
and be first in Offering their commodities to
hungry public. Then the trade commences,
and for some hours the whole city seems con-
centrated a. this point. The scene has the
appearance Of a great sea of baskets with
gentle, undulating, wave-like motion-now
halting like panorama. and now rushing on
with redoubled velocity. Here sauats an
ancient, weather beaten huckster woman with
an apron of onions, there another with bunch
Of parsnips, while cabb ages, potatoes radishes
dried apples, defunct robbins, lifeless poultry.
inanimate swine, motionless mutton, negroes
nulatto boys, mules, donkeys. steers, spiritess
horses, are promiseulously distributed about
the square.
1t IS we'll worth the while to saunter through
the market on fine morning. and columns
would be necessary to afford a graphic and
truthful sketch of what might there be seen
TAKE HIN OUT ,-TAKE HIN orr,,-Some
short time back we felt it our duty to furnish

columns, was literally besieged with appli-
eants Is soon asst appeared, and came post

tstely. as he was answered with replies usGUs
I'd nIHssam- Two amusing instances of
Ike kind occurred yesterday. ODe was an
advertisement about breast pin which had
teen lost, and which was returned to the owner
an hour after the paper had been issued. The
7ther was notice in our local column respect
ny the loss OF some furniture gimp, from Noell
Boyd factory, and iu both cases the parties
sOtifed that their advertise meats should be
taken out. as the articles had been recovered.
We would ask any unprejudiced person,
whether more convincing proof of the ad

and more strongly than words.
