THos. K. KIRKLEY ps HoRATIo MAEYnAs and
JAMES QulGLEr.-This was the action tried ON yes
terday for breaking into house contrary to law,
and levying upon horse Ii appears that this case
had been once tried before Justice Morsel on two
separate warrants, which had resulted in one being
. witness for the other 1t contended by Mr.
Martin, counsel for the accused, that they had al
ready been tried for the offence. Justice Holings-
head held that such was not the fact and that the
case against them 30 far made out as to justify
him IN holding them to bail for court.
Growing out Of the above there came q very In
tsrestng trial, before Justice d. Smith, of Freder
ick Peterson, who was the witness. The lad, a
mere boy, was prosecuted by John L. Smith, ESQ,
and defended by Mr. w. j. Martin. The Justice
him TO JAIL Mr.. Martin signifed his intention to
apply for writ of habeas corpus, on the ground
ofthe witness being interested.
TIE CIRcUs FErrs.-We do not know whether
to admire most the novelty of circus travelling
BY rail road or the originality of offering prizes at
trial Of skill, to pick out the best performers
The experiment, at first glance, would appear very
costly but on reflection It seems likely to pay
Everybody around town are already on the gtsi
Vivs, and inside from the opportunity of seeing bet
ter and more great riders than will probably ever
again occur, it will enable the new establishment
hereafter to furnish tangible proof of the great
periority of their troupe.
"SPERIrs OF JUsr MEN MADE PsRFEc." Hardly
has DIR. Sayer, the pioneer Of womans rights en-
terprise left the city, before another female arrives
to take us captive at her viii. Miss Emma Frances
Jay is said 70 be doing smashing business at the
rate of twenty-five cents pop just the price of
umbrella" brandy at the National Hotel. She is
said to beat Mrs. George, late Of England" all
hollow in the way of "past present, and future"
and when I'm the spirit on the Lords day" can
beat Jenny Lind or Parodi clear out Of sight-the
first Jay.bird we ever heard Of singing well. And
then she knows all your relations. my grand
father was most wonderful man, well he was
and only quarter standing between seeing him.
We shall 80.
CHECK, SIR!-Every person going into or COM
ing out of the Theatre, is saluted by the cry Of
check, sir, from boys Of all sizes and ages and
even from grown men. The anxiety to see the
play, is Of course heightened by the difficulty Of
gaining admission and desperate indeed are the
shifts and appliances to accomplish it. This has
become great nuisance to pay-goers, to say moth
ing Of the corrupting associations, TO which the
youth of our city are subject But independent
Of these considerations, which should arrest the
attention of all good citizens, we find that the
check business is sustained by those who should
know and do better, andscarried on by the young
ones as matter of speculation. There are num-
ber of persons too parsimonous to sperd half or
quarter, who viii not hesitate to buy check of

are thus sacrificed every year? Parents look to
your boys. Check, sirs
VALUE or LErrERs.-There may be seen, in al
most any number of the National Intelligencer,
advertisements for teachers for various classes Of
schools As q general thing, after enumerating
the qualifications necessary, among which may be
found named an acquaintance with the several
branches of English education, with the ancient
and modern languages, and sometimes music and
drawing, the significant words are added, :" salary
$780," or salary $3.50 and board" Three hun
dred dollars! Prodigious! All the virtues and
accomplishments of human life for $25 per month.
Less than the hire OF respectable negro laborer
ia many places. Who is so "worthy Of his hire"
as he who shapes the tender mind of our youth
We are proud to know that the scale of prices in
our public schools is far more liberal than this.
But it is far too small yet. We commend the sub
ject to the attention Of our city fathers.

The WEArHER--Last night we were favored
with fine shower of rain, which continued for
some hours. This is the first rain that has fallen
In several weeks.
The ground was quite dry on the surface and
this timely rain will aided by the rays of the sun,
have q most beneficial Influence on vegetation.
BY tomorrow the parks will begin to put on their
spring attire. rs7
THEArRE--Miss Agnes Robertson appeared last
night in her peculiar and most bewitchng role to
much better house than might have been expected
X from the inclement weather. Previous 10 her ap-
pearance, Mr.. Jefferson as John Peter Pillicoddy
kept the audience in about the happiest mood for
the reception of the Fairy Star" She appears
tonight in the characters of Bob Nettles and the
Young Actress, either of which should draw full
house, if people only knew the fun in store for
them.
THE Lone BRIDGE AND THINas--We call atten-
tion to the proceedings of the publicspirted citi
zens of the Seventh Ward The bridge question
is of interest to all parts of the city as much as
OF the Island. People who help themselves are
the only ones who deserve help from others. Let
there be general, concentrated, and united action
on this important subject Congress must respect
and respond to such a proceeding.
AccrDESr.-Mr. j. L. Connolly was yesterday
knocked down and considerably injured by car
riage, belonging to Mr.. Coyle, and driven by a
negro IL was thought by some that It was the
result OF carelessness and, If So very much to be
reprehended The accident occurred on the south
side of the Avenue, near Thirteenth street.
Jor TO THE JUVENILES, Bro AND LIrTLE-It is
unnecessary TO tell any that the Railroad Cir
Gus Is coming. Like Christmas and Thanksgiving,
the advent Of one Is looked for from the depar-
