CRY WT1ELLIGENCE.

| Gently Irlce has had some trouble IN pecunlary
| matters, and although not an habitual drinker,
has ndulged very freely in drink, which lead to
alteration of mind. On Tuesday last he gave symp-
toms of insanity, and after drinking number oi
! times he wandered out of the city to point near
the toll-gate on the Philadelphia road, where he
! laid down in fence corner. Some persons living
! in the neighborhood found him, and removed him
to a house, where he kindly treated, and in
the evening was brought to the city in a wagon by
named Gotlieb Steele, who desired to take
Price to mis- home, but Price refused and asked to
| be lett at the lager beer saloon of Fl. Hacker, on
Baltimore street, between Eden and Caroline
streets. Steele complied with his request and left
! him at Hackers, where he remained short time
without drinking anything, and then left for
! Och's saloon, of Pratt street and Cen
trail avenue, where he remained until shutting
up time, when he started out and wandered
about the streets until he was arrested by police
man Walker, and taken to the Eastern district po-
lice station, where he remained until morning aud
was discharged. 1t is supposed that soon after
| wards he again wandered out on the Philadelphia
road. BY the strangeness of his demeanor, he at
tracted the attention of several persons along the
| road, and about eleven O'Clock he was found dead
under tree, near the road. 1t was rumored that
! he died from poison, although there cir
cumstances, other than the sudden death, which
the rumor could be founded. In view of this, how
ever the jury of inquest ordered post n,ortem
animation which was made by DR.. Evans. There was
not tbs ightest evidence that the deceased had died
of poison. The jury rendered verdict of "death
from apopleXy superinduced by intempcrance aud
exposure" The report that he had domestic diff
culties was not true. On the contrary, he lived
most happily.

Captain Dupont, and numbered two hundred and
thirteen men, exclusive Of commissioned officers,
and were accompanied by seventy-fve horses, ten
field pieces, with caissons, &c. In their passage
through the city to the President street depot they
attracted considerable attention. The following
account of the movements of these troops is taken
from the Washington Star, of Yesterday after

to accompany the troops but their destination not
made known to them. The carpenters were told they

Dixon, of the seventeenth ward, presented, in the
First Branch Of the City Council, memorial signed
| by two hundred and fifty unemployed working

! passage of an ordinance to condemn, grade and
| pave Webster street from Fort avenue to the City
! Yard, for the purpose of giving employment to

find nothing to do. The portion of the street pro-
! posed to be graded and paved runs, for the most
| part, through city property, which is now of no
| value whatever to the city. There are about
! twenty acres of ground owned by the city in the
vicinity of the street, considerable portion of
/ which binds on the water, and, if improved, will
| be excellent wharf property. At present there is
| no way OF reaching the waters edge, and conse-
! quenty the property is not available. By the
! opening of Webster street excellent communication
can be had, and the property would Immediately
| become valuable. There is much demand for
| wharf property in South Baltimore, particularly
for the landing of wood. There has been a consid-
cradle effort for years past to drive the wood
! from Light street wharf, but there is other
available landing, the necessities of the people de-
mand that it shall still cucumber Light street. II
the city property the south side of the basin can
be made available, an excellent wood landing will
be afforded.
