hrt,ag B'H.-The programme of Ell tertain.
ments at the Tneare Tonight is varied ard
Interesting. MIR. Chanfrau, The star OF the
evening, Is announced for six characters in,
each OF which he is said to be excellent First
on the bill is the Extravaganza of Vari-
cites, which is full of Interesting and anus
ing changes. Next is the local drama of
Glance at New York, in which Chanfrau
plays leading part. And last, is the nauti-
cal drama of the Ocean Child, or the Wife.
Mother and Maniac-a drama said to lie fu ii
OF good points-and which will be cast in the
1ull strength OF the company.
A Frs 1orsr is very much needed in this
city, and will have to be erected in the course
.! leW years The old bell-house, on the
capitol Square, is not sufficiently elevated TO
overlook all parts of Richmond aud is such
complete eyesore III the park, that the Cover.
nor may order its removal at any moment
When steam fire engines are imtroduced--as
they soon must be-a fire telegraph will be-
come necessary to indicate the location of 4
fire; and to make thar effective n tower will
be necessary, from which watchman NAV
overlook the city at glance
Creating Stir.-The enforcement of the rev.
enue law has driven from the market places
all vendors of foreign fruits, and will proba-
bly, put 10 flight such dealers as sell potatoes
and other vegetables brought from Northern
States. Indeed We are not sure that it does
not design TO break up all sorts of hucks ter.
ing la the necessaries Of life and TO put at rest
The trade Of pedlars. The Commissioners of
the Revenue and other officers ought to see
that the law Is complied with, or report and
have prosecuted all offenders againstit.
lohns Wand rer.-At late hour last Wed
nesday night the watchmen arrested and
Gagged n lad named Patrick Cunningham who
was wandering about the streets, and said he
had no place to stay. The Mayor very pro-
seers of the Poor, to be put to work, as he has
no mother, and has already been i'm iall once
or twice for associating with bad boys, and
stealing.
Dan Rice's Great ShoW is 70 be here on tho
llth and 18TH inst, and from its novelty will
attract thousands to see il. Friends who have
seen inns exhibition, assure us that nothing Of
the KIND has ever before been seen in Virginia
ana tnat no one can see il without being in.
structed and amused In Washington and
elsewhere it has been literally patronized by
me oest CLASS OF citIzens, and never fails to
draw immense audiences.
Light CIT OV.-Under the ordinance Of the
city, If a gas taker leaves q tenement without
paying his gas bill, his successor cannot OBJ
tain gas unless he first pays up old scores
against the house. The law it seems was
made to protect the city against all loss, but
would be more just if it required payment
from the owner Of the property, who can
readily secure il when collecting his rent
Attempt at House Breaking-A daring effort
was made last Tuesday night TO force an en-
trance into the lumber house Of Messrs Jones
s.
full. We understand Il thar the thieves actually
succeeded in breaking three strong locks but
failed to force an inner door. which was
barred and boiled in the most secure manner.
Nof H,nrd-The charge against Henry G.
Williams, "A grocer who lives on I'd street of
two hogs and six bags Of corn,
knowing them to be stolen, was not disposed
Of by the Mayor yesterday, because OF the alb.
sence of witnesses. The Investigation was
pos tponed until the nth inst, and the prisoner
admitted 10 bail.
an AInndened Womaa, who gave her name as
Jenny Cook, and professes to hail from South
Carolina, was before the Mayor YES sterday for
ne third or fourth time, tor being drunk aud

% become her bail, and had failed to leave the |

Tn, Depot now being erected for the Rich |

lock, go within few yards Of the depot, so |
nat All drayage and extra storage may thus be |
avea to shippers.
