CIRCUIT CouRT-The court was ENGAGED tbi,
morning In hearing the case of jams Coleman
upon hnoeds eorpHs. Ii appeared In evidence that
the petitioner, on the a2d inst, claiming to be
tne owner OF certain house and lot on Capitol
NH, entered upon the same by means Of KEY
Wnlcn ne had, and held possession thereof until
the evening Of the next day, when Judge Purcell,
claiming to be entitled to the possess on of the
house, summoned justices Giberson and Fergu-
son, who adjudged Coleman guilty Of "forcible
entry and detainer.n 1t was, however, finally
agreed between the parties that upon delivery Of
possession to Purcell, and upon undertaking to
pay the costs of the proceedings the affair shonld
end, ana upon this agreement Coleman was dis
charged. On the next day. demand was made
on Coleman for costs, which, 1t was claimed,
amounted to ten dollars. Coleman's counsel
however, not agreeing with the justices in their
legai ilght TO make the demand, refused to pay
anything until a bill specifying items was pre-.
sented demand in.writing was made, but 1t
not appearing exactly right on its face was like
wise rePudiated, and thereupon Coleman was ar
rested, and committed to the county Jail The
court discharged the petitioner
The case OF Straub agt. Edes was then ken up,
and was pending when our report closed.
THEATER.-Jefferson had rousing benefit last
night, Of course. The "Cricket on the HEARTH
was the opening piece, and went of immensely
to the satisfaction Of the audience, albeit 1t had
not been quite as carefully rehearsed as was de-
sirable. Mr.. Jefierson's s'Caleb Plummer,n In
quiet affective pathos reminded one of Charley
Burke's"G Grandfather Whitehead" Miss Mann's
may add that she looked the part TO Perfection
The .'John Peerybngle' of MIR. Rows was the
very best thing we have ever seen him do, with a
noticeable freedom from the rant which this actor
sometimes INDUCES in, and to which the part
rather invites the injudicious actor Miss Shaw
was fair as "Tilly SlOwboy;', Mr.. Bartholomew
as Mrs. Fielding,'' with her "reminiscences Of
that awful catastrophe in ''the indigo business
The o'her parts were well filed.
The farce of "spithre," with Jefferson as the
central figure, created no end OF fun, especially
Joe's adventures upon the brinY deep.
Tonight we must say goodbye to jefferson.
and this fact, together with the great bill pre-
sented, will occasion rather a rush theaterward,
we apPrehend.
The MrLIrIA.-There appears to be an earnest
desire upon the part Of citizens for the pro
and systematic management Of the District MI
litia. The War Department. 1t Is well known Is
strongly In favor Of increasing Its efficiency. The
militia will consist Of eight regiments, Of ten COM
panies each. The Captains and Lieutenants OF
companies are nominated by the Major General
after careful consideration Of their competency
fha8,
public The nominations not sent to the de-
partment until they are fully approved. The list
Of officers commissioned will include eighty cap
tains, and one hundred and sixty lieutenants. 1t
Is believed that the volunteer militia will be as
signed to brigade separate from the ordinary en-
rollment, and thus constitute a well drilled and
efficient force, competent to serve In connection
with regular troops in any emergency.
Major James Y. Davis was to-day commi ssioned
as Colonel of the second regiment of the District
miilha; In place OF Col. p. F Bacon promoted.
Il. G. Darlington Esq =, was also commissioned az
Captain Of company A, Union regiment.
CENTER MARKKT.-This morning, the market
opened with fair supply Of provisions in every
department. The offerings OF country pork at
the scales appear to decline in quantity, but the
quality is equal the first Of the season. The
prices asked RAP from sc so to 81 per 100 lbs
prices have an pward tendency in consequence.
| In the hay ma -et the supply 10 fully up to the
average, and the demand varies but little. The
In former times has become quite popular with
the regular country dealers and though there are
many more vehicles laden with the article upon
the stands, the aggregate quantity is probably
greater than before. The prices range from 20 to
90 cents per 100 lbs. Snow began to fall about
| O'Clock, making the market place quite disa-
greeable outside the sheds.
