Hsarg Thsft.-Iesterday morning, negro
boy named James, in the employ or Mr. VIM
II. Clemmitt, was arraigned before the Mayor
yesterday to answer the charge of stealing
trunk and carpet-bag containing S2t0 wort OF
wearing apparel the property OF Col. Henry
Thweatt. Mr. Clernnitt occupies the large
front room over Mr.. Walters store corner OF
18TH aud Main street, ana the prisoner sleeps
there. Col. Thweatt occupies a room over Mr..
Clemmitt. On Tuesday night last Col. I.
turned from Farmville, by the Danyille cars,
and on reaching the depot employed Moses,
porter at the PoWhatan House. to take his
baggage to his room for him. About half-past
six O'Clock, Moses, instead of taking the bag
gage to the Colonels room, placed il at Mr..
Ciernmtts door and there left 1T About two
o'clock Wednesday morning, Mr.. Sweeney
heard some one walking about on the roof of
| the shed near his room, which is on the same
| floor with that of Col. T., and on looking
out, discovered and recognized the prisoner
Some few minutes after that, Wyatt, a SER
want, en- tered the house TO arouse gentleman
| who was to take the cars, and in passing by
MIR. Clemmtts printing Office door. which
| stood ajar noticed that the gas was burning
| dimly. He started then to the third story, the
passage being very dark, and on hearing some
| one treading lightly down the steps leading &c
the garret, struck match and discovered the
prisoner, who was then in his shirt sleeves and
| shoeIess The next day search was made IoI
| the trunk, when ID was found broken into
pieces, and slowed away in the garrett and on
Thursday, the carpet-bag was found secreteG
in closet near Mr.. Clemmitt's door. AL
these facts taken together, led to the arrest o
the prisoner, who, however, denied the theft
and accounted for being on the roof by saying
that he had been into the back yard and could
get there in no other way. Mr.. Ciemmitt and
Mr.. Hill testified to the good character of the
prisoner, bat the Mayor sent him on for trial
at the next term of the Hustings Court.

THE BITTERNESS OF MODERN PHILANTHRo-
PIsTs.-The Boston Transcript, in an article
speaking Of those who have a zeal for reform,
but not according to knowledge, says:
"There seems to be no profession in which
one is more exposed to the danger OF hating
men than in that of philanthropy-no occu-
patton that tends more powerfully throw a
man outside the most sacred bonds, manners
and restraints of civilization, than that of q
radical reformer. This is especially true in
New England, where some of the practical
duties of craftsmanship or public trust are as
sumed by, or committed to, the men who pro-
mulgate new schemes Of political or social
orsanization-where speech, and platform
speeches particularly, or newspaper invectiye,
and conyen n-reSoIutions, year in and year
out are the only medium through which their
nature is to Ilnd utterance, and their ideas
come in contact with the community. How
many men do we see, to whom denunciation
has become habit and who have an intense
hatred Of those who have obsiructad the pro-
gress of principles they hold dear. They
never refer TO opponents except with vitriolie
rhetoric and refuse 10 recognize that they may
have been honest though mistaken.

reTy latest novelty in fashion, we mean in fem

handsomely attired, and with face and figure
to match, was Observed on that we'll freq ueut-
ed promenade. On the little finger of her left
hand she daintily wore, over her primrose
tinted Jouvin, q handsome diamond ring-the
brilliant set in blue enamel, which showed it
off very prettily. To the under part of this
ring was attached a Venitan chain of the
purest gold, terminating in another ring set
all around with jewels of diverse quality, hue
and lustre. Through this delicate kerchief
of lace, with the exception of about two
square inches in the center-just enough to
swear by, as the saying fs-was passed, and
the whole was pendant from the minor digital
aforementioned, and really had a pretty effect
The design was TO provide new way of car
rying the Daonehoir, which would leave the
hand disengaged, and yet display the beauty o1
the lace or embroidery. 1t was decidedly sue
cesstul, and one of the neatest exhibitions OF
the season. What it might appear when made
by less distingue person, we do not pretend
to guess. We record what we saw.-Philadsi
