Of Malta, which will take place tomorrow
evening, are very fattering, and o large and
brilliant company is expected. "What do you

many beauty, who never knew care before,
is now anxiously awaiting the arrival of her

The affair is something new in the way Of
an entertainment-beginning with perfor-

with ball. Thus 1t will be seen that Tbalia

PoLIor COuRT. Judge Lowe examined
twenty-four cases yeStesdsy morning at the
Police Court, most Of which were exceedingly
trivial in their character.
The persons who were charged with robbing
the Indianian, Kingsley, at his boarding
house on Sixth-street, near John, were DIS
charged, there being no evidence which would
tend to their conviction. The transaction was
rather singular one, and as persons under
such circumstances are disposed to suspect
every one with who they come in contact, 1t
is not strange that without any tangible
reason the warrant for Mrs. Cross and her
family was issued. No clue has as yet been
obtained which would fix the guilt upon the
culpable party.
A man named Henry Wilkinson was charged
with overloading his wagon and deemed guilty,
for ho had piled eighty hogs upon it. He was
ordered to pay the costs Of the prosecution,
while William Kehler, who interfered with
the officer that made the arrest, was fined five
dollars and costs.
A young girl about sixteen years of age,
named Margaret Mallcy, was brought into
Court upon charge Of stealing $l1 rs from q
man named Anthony Meyers. Tho girl was
quite good-looking and well dressed, but
poverty, often the cause of crims, had been the
real cause Of her ofense, and she confessed
having stolen So rs, which she gave to the
officer who arrested her. Her appearance and
apparent contrition for her fault, which was
doubtless the first step she had taken in crime,
induced the Judge to dismiss her upon the
payment of fine $40 and costs. .
An individual named @. A. Strauss raised
considerable Of row night before last, near
tho corner Of Pearl and Sycamore streets,
avowing that he had been robbed of his watch
by the keeper of boarding. house in that
vicinity. He was taken into custody, and II
was discovered that he was merely drunk, for
which he was fined 80 and costs. .n 'l

FATAL RESULT OF CABELEss DR1vrNG-A
Boy Run OVER AND INSTANTLY KILLED.-Cor-
oner Carey was yesterday called upon to hold
an inquest upon the dead body Of boy, about
four years of age, named George Lansing, who
had been killed by being run over by wagon,
on Western-row, near the Brighton House.
The driver of the vehicle, named George Cor
diman, 1t appears, was passing through the
street at the time of the accident, at the rate
Of eight miles an hour, which, Of itself, is
contrary to the laws of the city.
The nature Of the evidence, adduced before
the Coroner's jury, was such that it was
thought proper to hold him responsible fer the
death Of the child before court Of justice,
and warrant Yves therefore issued for his
arrest, but his whereabouts have not as yet
been discovered. N aGHT

A few weeks ago German Association, named
"Der Sangerbund," gave ball at Metropoli-

keeper Of the Switzer Hall, to furnish them with
supper, which he did; but from some cause,

pay for it. Suit was therefore brought before

A TOWNSHIP WITHOUT A PosroFFIcE. Delhi
Township, though quite populous, has been
for two months without q postofice, want
from which the residents there have greatly
suffered; being often compelled to wait six and
seven days for their latters, and sometimes not
receiving them at all. This defect ought to
be remedied at once, and that it has not been
before, seems very singular. The village of
Warsaw, containing nearly three hundred
persons, should be the location of the poatofice,
which we hope to see soon established.
