RoBBING AN Isolated SHANTY.-Three
Young fellows, about eighteen or nineteen years
old, were arrested for forcible entrance into
ana robbing small shanty, which is kept as
cigars. They gave the names of John Williams,
george Vincent and Henry Sinclair, and are
supposed to be the same parties who broke into
tne same place some time since, and robbed it
of over thirty dollars. The shanty is situated
near the Grays Ferry Bridge on the west side
OF the river, and is isolated from the rest OF the
houses, and is kept by a man named James
collins, who does not sleep in it, but generally
closes it about dark before he goes nome The
three thieves were taken before Alderman
Allen, who committed them to answer.

but any body would reasonably suppose that il
was more for what the pocket-book contained
than for itself that the thief committed the theft.
1t, in fact, sounds something like the defense of
the negro who picked up rail upon which we're
several fat turkeys, which he had no idea of
taking. George Vincent stole a pocket.boot.
which is stated to have contained some .'read
rhlno, and was arreeted for the offense, and
taken before Alderman Cloud. Vincent was
held in $1,000 bail to ans wer.

the larceny of Sl87 and silver watch from a

Domestic Faults.


Homes are more often darkened by
the continual recurrence of small faults,
than by the actual presence of any de-
cided vice. These evils are apparently
of very dissimilar magnitude; yet it is
easier to grapple with the one than the
other. The eastern traveller can com
bine his force and hunt down the tiger
that prowls upon his path; but he
scarcely can escape the 1nusquitoes that
infest the air he breathes, or the -fieas
that swarm the earth he treads. The
drunkard has been known to renounce
his darling vice the slave to dress and
extravaganza, her besetting sin, but
the waspish temper, the irritating tone,
rude, dogmatic manners, and the hun
dred nameless negligences that spoil
the beauty Of association, have rarely
done other than proceed till the action
of disgust and gradual alienation has
turned all the currents Of affection from
their course, leaving nothing but q bar
rem track, over which the mere skeleton
of the7companionship stalks along.
