quisite design and artistic finish, Mt yerv low
rates, should carefully read Mr.. McGuire's
advertisement OF his great sale of articles
recently imported by the celebrated Philadel-
Pnla mouse OF Vito VIII Sons, who have 50
often disposed of large quantities of their
beautiful wares in Washington in the same
way. For, perhaps, twenty years past, the
mouse OF Veto Vite has been at the head of
the business OF importing italian ornamental
WORK, OF all descriptions into this country.
Ineir lmportations are already scattered over
the United States from Maine to California,
and are to be found almost wherever persons
Oh good taste are themselves to be found.
Iheir facilities in their business enable them
to be content with what are really very low
prices, indeed, for their beautiful articles, all
OF which are precisely what they are repre-
sented to be. We say this with confidence
arising from the we'll known character of the
house, which stands as high in Philadelphia as
any other mercantile establishment whatever
In that emporium.

FIGHrs.-The neighborhood of Third street
and Maryland avenue was visited last Sun
day by number Of young gentlemen, who
considered it no disgrace to get into q fight
with men and women. It was quite boisterous
for time In that vicinity; but the officers
were engaged at the time in another part of
the ward, or all the parties would have been
arrested. Another fight came of near the
same place, on Maryland avenue, shortly
after. In the last men only were engaged
1t was unfortunate that the officers were so
busy at the time, as all exhibitions of this
disgraceful character ought to be put down.

and attempting to swindle, various members

ments of the law in relation to peddling.
DEPosITIoNs.-We understand tn at various
dispositions to the drunkenness of Washington
Naylor in the early part of Thursday night last
were taken yesterday before Justice d. Smith.

in which they were sworn.
BE CAREFUL.-Persons arriving by car
riages in the city after dark, and passing
through the streets where there are no gas
lights, should be careful to drive slowly and
keep q good look out. The streets are being
repaired in many places, and persons are re-
ceiving coal in other places. The banks of
stone and COAL and the hollows in the streets,
might cause severe injury.
