MONEY STOLEN. -Yesterday evening
about O'clock, as Mr.. James Bourke,
Grocer on the corner Of Crawford and
King street, Portsmouth, was engaged in
the back part of his store, some thief, who
WAS doubtless watching Nj Bourko kos
movements from front window, enter
ell his store, reached over the counter,
drew ont the money drawer, and with
drawer AMI contents walked away. We
think it must have been stolen by some
one who has bought gods at Mr..
Bourkc S counter and who was quite IA
miliar With the arrangement OF t he store;
knowing that tue drawer was near the
door, and Sided back and forward in the
counter very easily, and without the
least noise.
If this had not been known to the
thief he certainly could not have had
the impudeneo 10 undertake the exploit.
There were about $50 in tho drawer.

FIRE.-Yesterday afternoon about
81 o'clock, smoke was seen issuing from
the roof of brick building attached to
w. J. Doylc's rope walk on James street
near Armstcad's Bridge. The alarm was
given as soon as the building was found
to be on fire.
The Liberty reached the fire first and
consequently got the first stream of wa
ter, but the other Companies were soon
on the spot and all rendered efficient
service.
The fire is supposed to have origina-
ted from the overhead of the :Finisher'-
part of the Machinery to prepare oak
um. Mr.. Doyle cannot now estimate
his loss, but it is entirely covered by in
surance.
1t is reported that the loss is between
three and four thousand dollars, but is
covered by insurance in the American.
Lynchburg, and We believe two other
Offices. But the insurance in this case
cannot cover the loss to the owners, from
delay in their operations.

fright Oh Dinwiddie street, Portsmouth,
and ran off at furious rate. lie ran
down Dinwiddie to County ST., and turned
down County. AS he rounded the corre..
he came very near running over two la
dies, frightening them badly; and turned
so suddenly that he upset the dray;
pitched the driv' into mud hole head
foremost, spraining his neck. He con-
tinued his course down County TO Craw-
ford street, when he was stopped by
crowd of gentlemen that happened to
be standing on the corner; and was
minus the load Of word, dray and dri-
yer with which he started. The dray
was broken, the drivers neck sprained
and the wood was scattered from the
north end of Dinwiddie, to County street.
So much for putting boys to drive horses
upon the stand. If the driver had been
man, he, doubtless, could have held

A MEAN Aor.-Somc person whose
heart must be about the size Of grain of
sand, and who is also devoid of all con-
science, passed counterfeit half dollar at
the Charitable Concert, held at Johnsou's
Hall ON Thursday night. This act is al
most of too contomptible character to
lay before ous readers, and in fact we
would deoln~ doing SO, but We wish this
notice s2 met the eye of the fellow who
caaa ed the act. If he could be de-
4 ride on a rail through our

MUST WE SUBMIT TO rT?-Again TO
day in our regular round for items" we
were forced to crawl over another huge
pile Of wood upon the side walk. Yes,
right in the principal business part of
Portsmouth; that too where the side walk
is full narrow any way, we found wood
pile upon the outer edge of said walk,
sawyer Just in front of that, jast exactly
in the centre of the sidewalk; and he was
pitching his wood, as he sawed it, be-
tween himself and the wall side; which,
upon the whole, just completely blocka-
dod the whole sile-w walk. We think it
likely that many fine dresses of the la
dies, were torn in passing this street, IN
less they crossed over to the other side,
for it was impossible to pass. without
walking over the wood, and it was not
very agreeable for gentlemen, much less
ladies, to cross over a street three iucht $
deep in mud. We leave the matter in
the hands of the Common Council, and if
they see fit to take no action to remedy
this evil, the fault will not be ours 1t is
only for us to bring the facts of intrusions
upon the rights Of the public before them.
This we ever aim to do, AMI here we
stop.

APPLIED FoR.--Our readers will per-
haps remember that about two months
ago, we spoke abouta child being found
III the street in very miserable condi-
ton. and that negro man carried it to
the Jail, and placed it into tie hands of
Commodore Barron" who had the child
dcccntly dressed, and took good care Ct
it for three or four days, when lady
living in the neighborhooa named Mrs.
Crcckmore, having no children, applied
to Mr.. BARRON for it. stating that she
would take good care OF it.
The child was placed under the care
of the lady, and up to the present time
it has been nursed with the tenderness of
bad, and the little thing appears to
be perfectly happy. Yesterday morn
ing female entered. the Mayors oifice,
and after waiting for a short time, ap-
preached his Honor, and Informed
him that through circumstances, over
which sho had no control her child
was lost some time ago, and that she hao
understood that lady in the city had it.
and that she had applied to him in or
der'to get the child back His Honor
then asked the female several questions
concerning the child, but her answers
Were Of such a nature, that he came to
the conclusion that something was wrong
and sent her to Judge Baker.
We have not yet heard OF the Judges
decision, but entertain the hope that Mrs.
| Creekmore will be allowed to keep the
child.

MORE LIGHT WAETED.--Mr. Gas Co.,
why is it that the limp on the corner Of
Glasgow and Court streets, Portsmouth,
is so seldom lightel? Does not the
Town pay as much for the light derived
from this lamp as any other in Ports
mouth? We have noticed for several
nights, that willie the other lamps upon
the streets wero trimmed and burning"
this one stands only as post, for passers
to knock OFT their brains against. We
think that it would be much better to
take it down, unless it can be Of more
service to the Town than it has been for
the last week or two. Sir clamp, light
err fly round, or somebody will be after
you with big stick if not, wen be af-
ter somebody pretty often.
