Il Good More.-The only case disposed of by the
Mayor yesterday, possessing any real importance
was the investigation of charge acainst five
Jews, named Morris Dobbin, l. A. Rice, s Lich.
tensfein, ; Rosenfes. and J. Bachrach, who were
summoned to show cause why they should not be
fined for selling goods both on Saturday and Sun.
day. The witnesses for ihe Commonw ealth we're
Messrs s. Ullmann and W. Fleshman, also of the
jewish faith. Their testimony was sufficiently
positive to justify the Mayor in fuing Messrs Dob
bin, Rice Lichtenstein and Rosenfels o. each: but
In regard to Mr.. Bachrach, there was nothing of
definite character, and he was discharged In
fact, he stated that he had openly adopted the
Christian Sabbath, IS Saturday was the best day
for business at least with white people. 1t Ia to
oe hoped that this occurrence will have salutary
effect.
Negro Combat Sam Harris, Jim Harris, Co.
man Harris, free negroes, and Charles slave OF
Thomas King, were arraigned before the Mayer
yesterday on O charge of assaulting and beating
Daniel, slave, the property of w. W. Harvie, on
the 9th of November. From Daniels appearance
1t was natural to infer that If he had not been In
den of lions, he had At least been in the hands
OF creatures quite as savage. The investigation
of the case was protracted and tedious and finally
the Mayor discharged Sam Harris, but held tie
others to bail to appear again to day. The com.
bat occurred near the intersection OF Brooke ave.
nue. and Broad street.
Fau Of Niasara.-The Niagara watering ma
chine broke down yesterday afternoon, near the
corner of Main and 18th streets, and we suppose
the "grate skwirt" will now be laid up for tn.
season. The Niagara has performed its tssk ad
mirably, during the summer and autumn aud that
1t should now come to an ignominious end by the
breaking of an axle, is q Circumstance that muet
occasion mournful reflections.
Virginia Central Railroad The superintendent
of this road, Mr. Undertake, in his annual repor,

ing business of the road makes it necessary ST
once to enlarge the depots In the city of Richmond
both for up and down freights Larger depots are
also required at Beaverdam, Trevian's and Cor
donsville to accommodate the business of those
points.
Among the recent improvements at this end o
the road we notice q large framed coach shop
lining the old one, constructed for the purposa
of building passenger coaches, baggage and freight
ears, which work has already commenced. 1t il
believed that this viii be q great saving to the
Company hereafter.
