intent on some object before him, fading in the

favorite troupe-the Kunkle Nightingales, who

There is no company Of the kind that has so
many good singers in il as this, to say nothing in
praise Of the instrumental feature. We doubt
not that, as heretofore, it will be greeted with
"overfowing houses"
Mr.. T. G. Ford is still the manager of the
"Nightingales," and is deservedly popular wher-
ever he goes. The success of the troupe is owing,
in great measure, to his tact and gentlemanly
demeanor.

Tbs Brothers Glantz.-It is well known TO
this community that, several weeks ago, those
individuals were arrested in Washington, charged
with being concerned in the shooting of Mr.. Du-
vail, near Badensburg by which that genteman's
life was endangered. They were taken to Mary
land, on a requsition of the Governor Of that
State. On Monday last, the grand jury of Prince
Georges county presented the elder brother sim.
ply for an assault, and the younger, boy, for an
assault and battery. As their trial will not take
place until next April, the first was released on
his own recognizance, in the sum of one hundred
dollars; and the second was required TO give bail
to The amount of five hundred dollars, for their
appearance at court. On Tuesday night they both
returned 10 this city.

holders receive but eight per cent. per annum for
their money although the leases confirm no restriction
as to dividends and they get no more than fair re-
turn for their investment they cannot be expected TO
bear the loss The public therefore, must DO wiling
to make up the deficiency and pay for the conyenences
which they demand. After all, the burdenwi not be
so great as many suppose. Any one who chooses tn
buy tickets can have G for - cents so that the poor
can be accommodated while those who choose TO COM
mute for crossing any ferry, can do so by pay
ING $40 per annum or IS for six months. Persons
who cross but seldom need be the only ones having TO
paw two cents, and the hardship to ANY, therefore, will
not be great.
The managers wish to conduct the ferries as they
are now conducted and to do il at the least possible
expense to the Company and TO the public. They
have no personal motives Of any Kind to They
wish simply to serve the public in the best way they
can as they are conscious they have always endeav

the fact, and most prompt to make the reduction.
