A SHARP OPERATIoN.-James Richards,

selling oysters, made a sale to lady living in
that nelghborhood, and collected his pay both
from the lady, and from her boy, by false repre-
sentations, thus getting paid twice for the same
thing. AS soon as his doubehanded transaction
was found out, the lady made complaint and
| had him arrested. He had a hearing before
| Alderman Swift, and was held to answer. James,
| no doubt, before this has come to the conclusion
that Honesty is the best policy
darkey was seen walking along Sixteenth street,
| near Spruce, wsth couple of tubs on his head.
| An officer of the Fifth District passing along,
| thought, from the manner of the darkey, tha
he dd not obtain possession of his prizes in legal
| manner, and went after and stopped him. He
| gave the name of Charles Davis, and could not
| give any ineligible account of the manner in
| which he obtained possession of the articles in
| question. He was accordingly taken, toeether
| with his prizes, to the Station House, and from
thence to Alderman Switt's Office. After a hear
| ing, he was held in $500 bail to answer for COM
| mitting larceny.
| ANOTHER OF THE AMATEUR HIGHWAY
| MEN. George Wagner, who IS suspected OF
| being one of the four men engaged in the
assault upon Mr.. Sbeetz on Monday night, was
| arrested in Vienna street last evening. This
| makes the tn Td OF the assaultiug party that
| has been captured. MIR. Sheetz was severely
| hurt in the attack that was made upon him.
They did not succeed in their object, which was
| evidently to rob, il not TO murder hun. Wagner
| had hearing before Alderman Clouds, who
held him in $500 bail, deeming the evidence
against him OF very positive character.

ing-house in Florida street. second door above
