BALTIMORE, WEDNESDAY,, JANUARY 3 1861.

HOLIDAY STREET THEATRE. The Seven Daughters
has entered upon the second week of its presenta-
ton; and has been, it well deserved, fayoraby
received by the public. Manager Ford has gone to
a very heavy expense in the preparation of this
play. The scenery is entirely novel, and is
cuted in Mr.. Getzs best style. Several Of the
scenes are representations OF our wel-known whole
sale stores and public resorts, and executed
with such correctness that they are instantly re-
cognized by those who have seen the places. The
most elegant scene is the closing one, called the
"Fairy Ferns and the Birth Of the Butterfly"
This is one of the most handsome and exten-
The crystal lake, surrounded by beauti-
full scenery, the wild ferns, apparent
ly bending to gentle breeze, the rich and varied
cooring of the foliage, the lights and shadows,
together with the tableau, consisting of beautiful
young girls gay attired and artisticaly situated,
make up scene equalling, if not surprising, any
thing of similar character ever presented in this
city. The play itself is an extravaganza we'll
suited to the Holidays. All the oddities and folies
of the day wittily touched up, while the local
hits are many and good. One of the principal and
most attractive features is the company of female
Zouaves, under command of Miss Alice Gray, with
Mrs. Henri as ensign. The appearance Of this
corps, their graceful evolutions and delicate
physique, calls forth the applause of the audience
nightly. The entire performance is good, and our
citizens, particularly the juvenile portion of the
community should visit the theatre
ARREST OF A THIEF.-Some few weeks ago a
statement published giving an account OF an
attempted robbery OF the clothing store of Mr.
Louis kloman, on Charles street near Favette
street, and man named George Graham, a noto-
rious thief arrested in the act of putting vest
patterns under his coat. Graham had an accom-
plice, and the two entered the store soon after it
was opened in the morning, under the pretence OF
purchasing goods, and while the clerk was attend
ing to them, they attempted to steal the goods
The clerk seized Graham by the throat, when
struggle ensued, in which Graham succeeded in
dragging the clerk into the street. but fortunately
an othcer came up at the time and arrested Gra-
ham, and Justice Hiss committed him to Jail for
Court. Graham's accompce succeeded in evading
the officers until yesterday morning, when he was
taken into custody and fully identified by the clerk
as the companion of Graham. His name is George
Mann. Justice Hiss committed him to Jail for the
action of the Grand jury
MILITARY ELECrIoN.-On Monday night, an cleo
tlon took place at the armory of the Baltimore City
Guard, to fill the vacancy of Lieutenant Colonel of
the First Regiment of Artillery. 1t resulted in
the election o. Major Joseph p. Warner the COM
mandar of the Guard Battalion. Major Warner,
is perhaps, one of the best known military men in
the city. As discipinarian he has few superiors,
The efficiency and prosperity of the Guard are due
principally to his excellent tact and iudgment.-
Among his command he is universally beloved, ard
he is also esteemed by the entire community. No
better selection could have been made.

sometime during Monday night to rob the dwellings
