| CHARGE UNDER CONSIDER ERATIoN.-On Saturday
Mrs. Jeannette Rose appeared in the Court Of Recor
der Monroe, and was charged by H. g. Heartt with
robbery, for taking, as Is alleged, forcble possess
sion of a certain valuable written document con-
tanning specified legal agreement, and the assert
ed signature of Mrs. Rose. Il appears that Mrs.
R. had put her signature to an agreement, giving
authority to Mr.. Heartt to procure for her q loan
varying from SIX to seven thousand dollars, or
less amount, if necessary and said loan to be
secured by certain bonds and mortgages Of Ms.
RS, and subject to an interest Of 10 per cent
per annuIn. The main feature Of the loan was for
a purpose OF paying debt of 81 ,250 created by
promissory note outstanding for some time and
in the hands of Mr.. G. w. Barker agent Mr
Heartt succeeded in raising the required sum for
Mrs. Rose, and had the usual incidental prelim-
inaries prepared in the notary office OF Petefs
and Cuvellier Here the certain parties met and
on Mrs. r. desiring some alterations, which then
could not be complied with, and on her being
presented the document bearing her signature for
assertion as to the correctness of the same she
denied the signature, and tore up the document
and hence the case before Recorder Monroe, who
holds it under consideration
A Lusus NATuR1E.-Last night man amused 4

nature. The itinerant will explain this morning

too, Of the whisky way, rejoicing in the cognomen
OF John Starr, was found making sundry endeavors
envelope himself in certain paving stones. St.
Charles street, believing the same to be grateful
bed clothes. The high state Of Johns imagination,
!. and effects of diverse potatcns, produced the re-
suit of a Star being obscured within the cloudy
retreat Of No lookup in the First District, where
the scntllations Of John will be less attractive and
bright than they were last night on the corner of
Commercial alley and st. Charles street. John,
remember thou art human-a Star, but q very
mundane one.

strong arm of the gentleman with brass crescent

morning, before the Recorder, that being cross in

Il DIscHARGED.--The case Of the State vs.. Mr.. s.
. Blnmerkron, for larceny, closed on Saturday,
and resulted in the accused being honorably dis
+ charged. This case is an example of rash prose,
cution, aided by love for law.
THE ARSON CASE IN THE FOURTH DIsTRIcT.-This
case, before Recorder Adams, already alluded to
J in our columns comes up for final examination
before that Recorder to-day, when further tes-
timony will be taken. Much interest is mani
tested by few persons in the evidence, which SO
far shows that the accused, Jacob Fraser, living
, the of Magazine and Ninth streets, had been
suspected of intentions to set his grocery store,
there situated, fire and in order to be assured
and also lead to the of obtaining the 50 600
reward offered by the Insurance Underwriters
during the incendiary mania in the Fourth Dis
, trct, these persons watched the movements of
said Fraser until the breaking out of a small and
Intellectual fire on his premises. To-day, or when
the testimony is closed, we will give for our next
issue resume of the case, and the character of
the evidence.
: BEAR VERSUS MONKEY, OR Ben ON THE CAPTING.-
Sayoyard got his livelihood by exhibiting mon
key and bear. He gained so much applause from
his tricks with the monkey, that he encouraged
n to practice some of them upon the bear: he was
o dreadfully lacerated, and on being rescued-with
. great difficulty from the grip of Bruin-he ex
claimed, "What fool was not to distinguish be-
g tween monkey and bear!" A bear, my friends,
}. is very grave kind of parsonage, and, as you
plainly see, does not understand a joke. A
