y SINGULAR Casa case was brought be.
lore the circuit court to-day, in which color.
ed man petitions for his freedom. The name
OF the petitioner is Jesse Nelson. being the son
OF white man, and the name of his owner is
John Cornwell, the son of white woman The
case Is singular One-that of a colored man
being held in bondage by another colored
man: and the right is, we believe, recognised
by the Maryland law. The petitioner bases
his right to freedom on the fact that he was
devised TO his present owner ON the condi ton
that ne should not be sold. which his present
owner has attempted to do. MIR. En- mis- appears
for the petitioner.

stables attached to the building known as the
"Old Capitol" caught fire. and were bnrnad
The loss is small. The alarm about l o'clocL
this morning, we hear, was caused by the burn,
ing OF a tar barrel near the Navy Yard.
Mad DOG.-This morning, officer Allen shot
little dog on 9th, near + street. which was
evidently mad. We hope this case will be a
sufficient warning to his honor the Mavor tn

citizens.
