CT aress not included in the tailor's business
from pair of socks to a first rate fashion able
hat His stock of goods is large, extensive
and well assorted, consisting of the latest fash
1c's, and as the period has now arrived for
adjoining the ''outward man." when old things
can be no longer worn, and when new ones shine
with double lustre in the light of May day, |
they cannot do better than pay visit to MI
Lanes store, where they will receive every at.
tention and ciyility from its polite proprietor.
Besides articles of dress, the store contains

place yesterday morning AT the st. Charles |
Hotel, between a darkey,'' an employee Of
the establishment, and a white man. not be- |
longing to il, which resulted In seufie and a |
roGgh and tumble fight 1t appears that the |
stranger had been larking with another party
belonging to the restaurant situa ed in the |
basement, aud that as an amusement during |
the warm weather, they had commenced throw
Ing pals OF water over each other; one of |
them, to avoid a wetting, ran up the steps of
tie hotel to seek refuge from his assailant, |
which the negro was cleaning at the time |
This was taken in high dudgeon by the latter. |
who resented 1t by attacking the other party !
fight and scuffle ensued, in which both got
the scorst of it. They were, however prevent
ed from doing much mischief, having been
parted as soon as the ARRAY became known by
two NJ. C.s, who happened to be present at the
time.
ROwDYIsM.-We have frequently called at
tention to the disorderly behavior of persons
in that part of the city north of C street and
between 4th street and the railroad This
morning, an officer spoke to us of the out
rageous behavior of drunken, disorderly per-
sons, on Sunday and Monday nights The
Sabbath day is regarded by many of them as
proper day to fight, drink whiskey, and play
football. If that part of the city were a will
dernesS the proper officers could with greater
propriety, sit in the office, or at their homes,
smoke cigars, ana let the rowdles have their |
own sport. But that neig borhood is rapidly |
improving; good and peaceful citizens are
rapidly occupying it. and it is time that those
outrages should be ended. The property must
suffer il value if those disorders continue A
little energetic action on the part of those
having charge of the police, would end all the
disorders.
The Lone BRIDGE.-It is said that the dam
age done TO the long bridge over the Potomac
will be repaired in the course of three or four
weeks. An investigation has been held, as to
the cause of the FIRE, but no satisfactory account
in our opinion, has been elected 1t is said to
have been caused by sparks from the chimney
Of steamer passing underneath, but this is
"apocryphal. B. b. French, Esq, the Com
missioner Of Public Buildings, has been oc
cupied in looking into the affair." and in making
arrangements for the necessary repairs. Until
these are completed, it will be very awkward
for the communication between Washington
and Virginia, and if il were not for the two
lines of steamboats, running between here and
Alexandria, we should on both sides be in
nice pickle. -
Shop LIFrING.-This species of crime, which
Is SO common in large cities, and to which very
often even supposed respectable females are
addicted, exists, we are sorry to say, Likewise in
our city Storekeepers must, therefore. be upon
their guard, for stealing Of this description is
