and perseverance, and 70 this assertion our
esteemed felo s>citizen John 8. Davis, pro-
pri.tor Of the Washington Machine Works,
forms no exception. These works we're
started in this city ten years ago. They
have seen all those "hard tiines" followed
upon the panic Of 81. snd which not only
severely "trisd mems souls," but put their

On the evening Of the Fourth, NJ. Hume,
whose grocery store is at the corner of Iowa
and Third streets, had occasion to 70 dsvn
into his cellar, where be surprised boy
mined Deb Chase in the oct Of lighting .
tarred broom Supposing that he was ma
king an attempt to fire the building, Mr.
Hume seized the boy aud administered .
thorough but not severe or brutal punish>
ment. Chase denied that he intended any
harm, but asserted that he was merely fir
ing the broom to carry il through the
streets. As usual in oil such cases, bad
reputation injured his otherwise probable
story. A. our readers may have noticed,
Chase is . notoriously bad boy, and was
once confined in Jail for threatening to kill
. man and burn bis property. He was also
implicated in breaking into . warehouse
near the depot belonging 70 the Dalsell
Bros, and stealing quantity Of merchan>
disc. In consideration Of these, and other
we'll known facts, Mr. Hume eooeiudsd 10
report the matter 70 Marshal Pool, end did
so, but gave the boy The choice Of standing
an examination, or ofleaving the city. He
chose the latter, and The police court 10 new
