large number of colored persons had as

| Police, organized party from the police and
| guard, who proceeded to tho mill and sue
| ceeded in capturing fourteen colored persons,
male and female, who had gathered there it
seems for the purpose of holding ball. They

gregate to S90.16 The officers met a mum
Der OF white persons there, but they being
merely lockers on and not disor ierly, the law

TIE MITE SOCIETY FESTIVAL, at Odd Eel
lows Hall, presented gay scene last night
the spacious saloon being filled with pretty
women and brave mcn." The ladies Of the
society seemed to vie with each other in their
attentions to visitors, in which they happily
succeeded, as all appeared to be we'll pleased.
The stock OF ct ceterGs on sale, as we'll as the
| supper and confectionery tables were very at
tractive-to say nothing Of the smiling faces
aDd bright eyes Of those whose positions at the
tables kept them busily engaged waiting upon
the buyers
Tho Festival is to be continued for some
days yet; and, in view of the laudable object
| of tho managers, laid in rebuilding Wesley
Chapel edi6ee,) it is hoped they may reap a
rich return.

IL, met at the lodge room on Ninth street yes.
terday morning at 9 O'Clock, and marched in
procession, preceded by Weber's band. to at
tend the funeral Of Tobias Martin, a brother
Of the order. The services took place at Grace
church, Island, where a most impressive and
appropriate discourse was delivered by the
pastor Of the church, Rev. A. HoImead. A

closed the services at the church, after which
the procession was formed again, and accom-
panied the remains Of the deceased to the

age. named Mary Hays was arrested on Wed
nesdsy evening on a charge Of larceny of
clothing. money, &c. She was taken before
Justice Dom, who heard the evidence against
her and committed her to Jail for trial at court.
Her youth, and the circumstances connected
with her misconduct, excited pity in the large
crowd OF persons present. and several were
ready to assist her, but it being whispered
that similar kindness had heretofore been
thrown away upon her, she was allowed to go
to prison.
NATIONAL THEATRE.-The friends of the
drama, and who wish to see its most deserving
representatives adequately supported, should
| certainly feel it duty to make the benefit of
Mr.. Booth tonight n substantial one. He
appears in two Shaksperean characters, "Shy-
lOck," and "Petruchio" in Flaming the
Shrew" and the " Merchant Of Venice, i"
range which will afford him ample scope for
the exercise Of the versatility for which he is
distinguished.
THROWING SroNgs.-The boys arrested a
day or two since on complaint Of Caroline
SAndersop for throwing stones, have for some
time past been great nuisance In the neigh
borhood of Il, between Ninth and Tenth streets,

we'll that inform alton has at length been
lodged against them, and it is to be hoped
that the police will now put complete stop
TO their mischief.

sorted cakes, with vegetables, &c, to match.
The little things enjoyed themselves vastly.
THE BALL or THE COOP WILL CLUB at Ca
rusi's Saloon was, as We anticipated, a spirited
and handsomely attended affair. The Good
viii Club has certainly the ability to get up
a ball in 6rst class style, and what We con-
slider most creditable to them, is the DISPOSE
ton displayed by all the members to make
their visitors ~ home. Esputa's band ofici-
ated with characteristic ability.
DARING AcT-0n Wednesday night, some
young scamps broke the window of Munck's
gun shop and stole a revolver which had been
placed there. The act was committed while
| the proprietor and others were sitting in the
store. Two boys were suspected, but have
| not been arrested.
OUR GERMAN PELLow-CIrIzENs enjoyed
themselves to the utmost at the ball given by
Winnebago Tribe No. o, Independent Order
OF Red Men. This lodge of German "Red
Men" We learn was organized in 1852, and is
/, ia fourishing condition, having some ninety
four members and about $500 in their treasury
