road depot, by Conductor Shaver and Onicer

&c, from the residence of 4. Hyam, Esd in

HOllingShead for further hearing. Mr.. Hyam is
unwilling to prosecute, IL there is any chance TO
reform the young girl, now about seventeen wears
of aye. She was employed in Mr. Hyani,s family
at the time, and, though other articles of value
silver plate, money, &c, were near by her, she
passed them to take only the gold. Ii the prose-
CutiOn is continued, she will be taken to Balti-
more bya fequisition from the Governor of Mary

A MUss was raised i'm the yesterday evening

his seat in the cars, when passenger No. 2, a
peaceable man when sober, but not sober at this
time, took seat behind No. I. and persisted in
using that gentleman's back for footstool.
No. requested No . to remove his feet
No. signifed that he considered that request

More words followed, and then came blows
and 1t required the interference OF the conductor
to separate the parties.

weather of yesterday, had numerous party on
