arrested at the depot for drunkenness, and
sent to the central guardhouse. This surgeon
has been in the guardhouse on similar charges
several times before, and some time since he
was dismissed the service, but was subse-

he will be permanently dismissed this lime.

One very remarkable instance is reported in

about 200 yards, carrying his musket with him,
landed on his feet, and rs soon as he could
collect his bewiidered reason. walked back to
the fort and took the same POST he had so sud-

wonderful escape.-Aler. Netrs, June 10.
KEEPING BAwDY HcusEs.-Yesterday, the
perintendent Webb, took possession of the
house No. 3Gs, Fourth street, and arrested the
proprietress, Mrs. Cafharine Egan.a The tssti-
mony Of q number of witnesses, male and
female, tended to prove that Mrs. Egan kept
the house, and that the inmates have a bad
reputation with the neighbors. The company
visiting there is very annoying TO the neigh
borhood. Justice Giberson held Mrs. Egan
to bail for court in $500. The Keys of the
premises renain-in possession of the police.
BY similar order Mrs. NJ Shear, Mary
Hanna, Elizabeth Gray (white) and Mary
Jane Bell (colored) were arrested at No. 40
Missouri avenue. The parties were all taken
to the Fourth Ward Station, and while there
awaiting hearing. John Shear, the husband
Of Mrs. Shear, arrivedAnd demanded his prop.
erty. Sergeant Cronin then ordered him into
custody. The hearing began at four O'Clock,
before Justice Giberson, and after the exami-
nation of several witnesses for the prosecution,
(other important witnesses being absent,) the
Justice held Shear and his wife to bail in $500
for further hearing. Mary Hanna and Eliza
beth Gray, for leading a life of ill-fame, were
fined S55s each. Mary Jane Bell, the colored
servant, was dismissed. The keys of this house
also remain in possession of the police.
