named Francis Boone, arrested yesterday af-
tern0on, on the charge of assaulting Mr.. Hugh
Crouch, gentleman living Hamburg street.
The assault was made several weeks ago, and was
, noticed in the local columns of this paper at the
time. Mr.. Crouch it appears, was standing on the
pavement near his house, when Boone, accompanied
by several men, came up to him and without the
least provocaton, dealt Crouch tremendous blow,
saying at the time that he would not 20 out of his
way to pass him. The desperate then made his
escape, and the police unable to find him until
yesterday, when he was arrested and taken before
Justice ShOwacre, who held him for further hear
ing. young lady named Margaret Burns, who
witnessed the assault was present at the Justices
Office, and identified Boone the perpetrator of
the outrage.
Since the above was written Mr. Crouch has ex-
pired. He leaves a wife and several children. Dr.
Battee, coroner will hold an inquest over the body
this morning. 1t is asserted by the friends of
Boone, that Crouch had been at work after receiv-
ing the blow and was severely hurt whilst at work
In foundry about week since, by being struck in
the side by shaft since which time he has not been
at work. An examination will be had before Mayor
Swami, on Friday morning. Whatever may have
been the cause of the death of Mr. Crouch, the fact
of the assault cannot be denied and it is to be hoped
that the pepetrator fthe outrage will be punished
TO the utmost extent of the law.
Ivory TYPEs.-We have recently examined at the
gallery of Mr.. Israel, 81 Baltimore street. several
specimens of art designated as Ivory types. They
consist of the portraits of some of our well known
citizens, and will not fail to be recognised at glance
as the exact counterpart of the originals The new
species of art has lately been introduced in this
city by Mr.. F. Meister formerly of Germany. The
pictures taken oy the process besides having all the
accuracy of likeness impaired by the daguerreo-
type, combine the sOftness and finish of the most
skiltul miniature painting. Mr.. Israels gallery is
emlnently worthy of visit from all who take
delight in the fine arts
New ENGINE HoUsE-Workmen are now busy
tearing down the old house, corner Eutaw and Ross
Streets preparatory to the erection of a handsome
hnIl6iun IN hn id h,-e
company No. Z. The location is an eligible one
and the selection gives much satisfaction to proper
ty holders not only on account of the greater safety
insured to property, but also because the drinking
mouse which was situated on this corner has been
broken up, as it was a resort for rowdies of the
worst character, much to the annoyance of the citi
zens of that respectable neighborhood. The Fire
Commissioners have purchased the bell and clock
OF the New Market Fire Company for the new en-
gine house.
