Burglars.-Three negro fellows-Georee. the
property of Burrel Jones, Wester Harold, slave
to James H. Grant, and John Hicks. owned by
Philip Jones-were arraigned before the Mayor
yesterday to answer the charge of breaking into
the grocery store Of Sampson Jones and stealing
therefrom seven or eight dollars in money, five
hams of bacon and four bundles of tea.
MIR. Jones stated, that on going to his store last
Thursday morning, he discovered that his money
drawer had been opened and robbed of five or six
dollars in change, but not knowing how the robber
effected an entrance he determined to keep quiet
aud endeavor to detect him if possible. On Satur
day night last, the store was again entered and
robbed, and this time it was ascertaioed tha. the
robber entered through hole in the rear wall of
the store. tiH 9.f =
Robert, slave to Sampson Jones, stated. that on
going to the store last Sunday morning to wait
upon Sampson Jones, Jr, he had occasion to go
into the back yard, and there saw the cap and
shoes of George. Suspecfirg something wrong
he went into the coal house, discovered number
of loose bricks and found hole in the wall
leading into the store. He next heard some one
walking about in the store room, and calling to
know who Ii was, George answered, came out and
offered him some money to, say nothing He de-
clined the bribe, and Immediately informed Mr..
Jones of what had happened l. az "a
George, one of the prisoners, stated that John
Hicks had made the hole in the wall the Thurs.
day night before. and the next morning had shown
him a hand fall of money, as also sack of some.
thing, which he carried on his shoulder. On Sun
day morning he was aroused from his sleep by
Wester and shown the hole to get in the store
Whilst he was in there, Robert came and caught
him.
In order to procure other testimony, the exami-
nation was adjourned until Wednesday next, and

Resisting the Lao Young men sometimes find
themselves in very tight places, by being unruly
and rebellious when in the presence of officers
of the law. This was the case with William Mil
burn, yesterday, when brought before the Mayor
to answer the charge of assauting Constable Per-
at bn63Lrc, Gu the SJtn INST and attempt
ing to rescue prisoner from bis custody. The
evidence proved that the officer had arrested
young N an for noisy and disorderly conduct, and
when about to eject rim from the theatre, the.
prisoner interposed ar talked largely about losing
the last drop of blood in defence of his friend Mr.
Milburn seemed deeply mortified at his conduct
declared that he would not have acted so badly If
he had not taken two or three toddies, and gave
his word not to be caught in similar scrape again.
AS he proved to be a man of steady, industrious

Mayor has declared his intention to punish to the
extent of the law all persons brought before him
for disorderly conduct at the theatre and we be-
lieve he will keep his word to the letter. ~

collation. that may do her good future. The black

Good Breeding The surest mark Of good breed
ing is to see number of would be swslls and beard

mark upon their dress and persons as they pass
This practice has become SO annoying OF late In
