GAM1Ss IN JAIL-Three boys, not over te
years of age, named Nathaniel Foste
a, George MeKeozie and Ezra Sherman, wel
committed to the county jail on the lit
inst., in default Of paying bail of 5000 sacl
for their appearance for trial at the Cour
of Common Pleas. These little fellow
have q history which is quite interesting
; They hail from New York city, and wer
taken from the Five Points to Quincy, III
;; where homes were provided for then
f They were under the influence of ring
leader named Hughes, who WAS wild, dis
solute qamin and they abscOndsd in a body
, few weeks since, and started for the Ess
OF course they had no funds, but they ST
out on their journey, evidently obeyin
that part of the apostolic INDUCTION whic
commands that the nomad take neithe
purse nor scrip, &c. But they fell bsc
upon their wits, their only resources, az
would steal articles enough at one railros
station to defrsy their expenses to the mex
Hughes was their financial agent. L
would send out his three subordinates, an
by shrewd engineering contrive to tur
their plunder into ready cash.
Things went on sWimmiDgly until the
reached Ohio. They, indeed, got ss far 8
Erie, but were there nabbed, all but thei
ripglesder, by the police, and sent back t
this city on charge of larceny. Whe
these little fellows arrived at the depot i
: this city, from the west, they stole fror
: the wagons of the American Express Com
pany, the following articles: One doze
. opera glasses, valued at S24; half doze
small microscopes, worth Sc, and six sma
com passes, worth dollar piece
These boys have the whole upper hall {
the jail to themselves, and they carry o
} like witches all day, singing, whoopin
and chasing each Osher around the corr
dors. They are very bright lOokin
gamiHS, and are fair samples, we suppOs,
OF Young America in the streets of GU
great cities.
