AT HIS OLD TRIcKs.-Thursday night, the
notorious Walter Donaldson, whose operations
as till thief, burglar, &c, attracted so much
notice few months age, was arrested by one Of
the county police near the old background,
and delivered to Roundsman Ecklof, at the
Fourth Ward station. The case against him
is small, but illustrates his character. He was
attending the Criminal Court prosecuting
witness against the parties charged with the
Hoover robbery. While waiting in the yesti.
hule a gentleman purchased some articles from
the colored woman who attends the ia BILE there
and laid the money on the table. Donaldson
took the money and sloped, and when called
as witness he was non est. A bench warrant
was Issued for him, and last night Officer Eek
loft carried him directly to Jail. Donaldson
has recently recovered from an attack Of small
pox, and but for his starlmering tongue and
sharp eye, few would reces nise the little scamp,
SO SCARED and Dlotched has the disease made
him. The woman was spirited enough to catch

from him. We hear also that he robbed Mr.
Jos. Swaggert of SIS about the same time that
