BURGLARY ON LIBERTY Y-sTREET.-Burglaries,
just at present, in this city, at lie asst, seem to be
the most popular method of THE wing. Almost
nightly some dwelling is invaded by scoundrels
and ransacked. Ordinarily, they carry of
nothing but money, and thus they elu,le detec.
ton, while, If they happen, during their oper-
ations, to be discovered, the chances for escape
are all in their favor. Night before lost a
house located on Liberty street, near Sycamore,
occupied by a German tailor, named john
HoltShelmer, was feloniously entered AMI
robbed of $40 in money and several half-made
garments. The burglars climbed through q
window at the rear of the building and found
their booty in bureau. drawer, which oon-
tanned some other valuable ARTICLES they did
not happen to discover, or if they did, thought
it would not be best to take. They escaped
detection, and not until yesterday at noon did
the family become aware that they had been
houored by the presence Of nocturnal visitors.

INDIANAPOLIS AND CINCINNATI RAILROAD
We are pleased to know that the amount Of
travel over the Indianapolis and Cincinnati
Railroad is large for the season, and that the
aggregate business is not to DO exceeded by
that of any other road of same length in the
West The management is awake to all the
improvements of the day; consequently, the
rolling stock is of the best and most approved
kind, and in keeping with the character of q
Arst-class road. Their passenger cars, in
charge of attentive conductors, are controlled
by the patent brake, enabling the engineer to
stop train under full headway in run Of
sixty feet, and are pleasant, comfortable CON-
vsyanoos. The Conductors, Hall, Eustis, Bar.
ringer, Lord and Vents, are never forgotten
by those 80 fortunate as to travel with them,
and aid, by their uniform cloverness and gen.
tlemanly conduct, to give the Indianapolis and
Cincinnati road reputation at home and
abroad.

FATAL ACoIDENT-CHILD KILLED BY FALLING
FROM PoRcH.-Quite bright little girl, OF
five years of age, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Negly, who reside on Pike-street, near Co.
lumbia, fell from porch in the rear of the
building, day before yesterday, and was in
jured 80 seriously that she died yesterday
morning at five o'clock.
In company with some children, about the
same age, she was playing on the porch, the
balustrade of which was defective, some of
the rounds having been broken out. She had
seen one Of her companions pass through
these apertures, and holding on by the rail-
ing walk round the outside; but when she
attempted it, she became frightened, lost her
hold and fell to the pavement beneath, frac-
turing her skull, and, as we have said, caus-
ing her death.
Although the sincerest wishes Of the heart
seldom escape from their imprisonment, once
in while u sigh will burst through the in
closure of the lips, and q prayer, fashioned In
words, ascend to Heaven. This Is not often
the case; for the best prayer Is heart-throb
or the upward looks of q fearful eye; but the
sentence sometimes is heard Father Let
the beautiful ever live." Who will say that
the fact is not mirrored in the wish? Here
and hereafter it exists, ever young and lovely.
like Psyche, and not all the arrows Of the
archer Death can destroy it.
This we offer to the mother: The delicate
face and sunny eyes of thy golden haired babe
are merely invisible, and in q better sphere
when thou, too, hast faded from the sight Of
those thou hast loved, and by whom thou hast
been loved, the rosy voice of thy angel child
will bid thee welcome to land where beauty
resides forever, unchanged and unohanging.

deserved compliment to the gentlemanly
proprietors of the Burnet House and their
comfortable establishment we take from the
Cleveland Herald. 1t says:
"The Burnet House, Cincinnati, under its
present management, is certainly one of the
best appointed and managed hotels in this
or any other country. Messrs johnson, San
ders & Co. are constantly on the look out for
all the attentions necessary to the comforts Of
their numerous guests. The arrangements
of their meal hours are admirable forthe con-
venience of business mon and the departure
and arrival of trains.

POLICE CoURT.-Business WAS dull as could
be wished at the Police Court yesterday morn
ing, and although twenty-five cases wero ex-
amined, no incident of Importance was de-
veloped. Matthias Miller, who was charged
with the larceny of some unmade coats, by
Leonard Kohn, of Main street, was dischar gsd
by Judge Lowe. The prosecuting witness was
not certain in regard to his identity, and the
defendant asserted positively that for ten years
past no had been working for Arm on Pearl
street. A man, whose name we have forgot
ten, was brought in upon two different charges
of assault and battery. A largo number Of
witnesses were examined and the cases consol-
idated. He was deemed guilty and sentenced
to pay fine Of 81 and costs-the whole amount
reaching SIS. Rather large price for the
pleasure of going through "littlo mill"

HABEAs CoRpus.-A writ of habeas corpus
was sued out on behalf of Lewis Schlesinger. The
petitioner was arrested on the oath Of VIM. Rainy
Zone of the Detective Police of tho city, which
charged him with having by false pretenses obtained
from NJ. Wilkerson, of Clinton County, $50, with iu
tent to defraud him of his goods and chattels-and
the petitioners attorney (S Clark claimed that the
introduction Of the words 'goods and ehattels
showed here q variance between the. charge in the
affidavit, and the law under which 1t Is pretended to
have been issued. 1t Is claimed also that at the time
OF the arrest of the party the affidavit was not made

chattes" might be regarded as mere surplusage, and
that when substantial charge was made technical

REQuIsIrIoN FROM KENTUCKY FOR THE DEs-
PERADO KENNRDY.-Sheriff Kesser received
a message from Governor Chase yesterday,
accompanied by requisition from the Gov
ernor of Kentucky, authorizing him to deliver
the body of George Kennedy, the burglar,
who, o short time ago, shot George Ballage on
the corner of John and Clinton streets, into
the hands of an officer from Frankfort, Ken
lucky.
Kennedy, it appears, owes our sister State
some service, having escaped from the peni-
tentiary there some time ago. He undoubt-
edly deserves all the punishment he will
get; for the man whom he wounded here
has not yet recovered from his injuries, and
for this offsnse and the circumstances con-
nected with it, when brought to trial, he will
receive, in all probability, a sentence for a
few years service at Columbus.

FINALE OF THE Row ON THE BOULEVARD DIR
sAUsAaE.-0ur issue of yesterday contained
an account Of a fight which occurred in drink
ing-house in sausage-row, kept by man
named Patrick Brown, in which James O'Neill
was severely injured. The parties were before
the Police Court yesterday morning, although
O'Neill was still very weak from the loss of
blood.
The man who had been injured took the
stand, but refused to testify in regard to the
facts in the case, saying he knew nothing of
the affair. Some other witnesses were called,
who related the circumstances which we have
already placed before our readers. In view
of tho provooation which had been given,
Brown was fined only $40 and costs, while
O'Neill, for contempt Of Court, was mulcted in
fine Of $50 and costs, and ordered to be con-
fined in the County Jail until they were paid.

NEWPORT NEWS.


NEWPORT CoUNoL.--Council met last night
at seven o'clock, being half an hour earlier
than heretofore; President Conlan in the
chair, and Messrs. Caldwell, Allen and Solar
absent.
Mr.. King submitted to the Board lot of
redeemed city orders, amounting TO over $500.
They were ordered to be destroyed, and the
Treasurer credited with their amount.
Mr. McCracken offered resolution empow-
erIng the Committee on Improvements to
have Southgate-alley graded and paved in
front of st. Paul's Church at the expense OF
the city.
This was objected to by Mr.. King, who was
not in favor of placing the city further in
debt than she is at present.
Mr.. Hayman was in favor of the resou-
tion, because the city had paved in front Of
other churches at her expense.
After some little debate, and upon motion
of Mr.. Gideon, the subject was laid over for
two weeks.
The foregoing is about the amount of bust
ness transacted by our wise dads, and we are
almost certain that repetition of last even
ing's work would be apt to place some of our
"hard working" members hors du combat
Notwithstanding all this, Newport would
possess no attractions without her Council
and we say, "long may they wave."
