speaks of Mr.. Peterson, whose residence OPP
poste Ford Theatre was forever made an
object of reverence by the American people

the 18th of April last, has finally received from
the Treasury the amount of his bill, charged

carpets, fifty dollars for personal service, two
dollars for gas and, and large number Of
similar charges amounting in the aggregate to
two hundred and ninety three dollars and fifty

children OF Isabella N. and John s. Joyce, in
Bushes woods, West Roxbury, On the 18th
of June. 1865. He was found to be convict
ia the State prison, who had beed sent there
for burglary, committed in Worcester coun-
ty, shortly after the murder. His strange
conduct when arrested led the officers to think
that he was hardened criminal, and his sub
sequent Boosting of large deeds performed by
himself together with some of his unguarded
expressions, gave the clue which being fol-
lowed by two Worcester county officers, has
fastened the murder alluded to almost unde-
niably upon himself His partial confessions,
with The corroborative evidence obtained,
leave no doubt in the minds of the officers of
his guilt. His soubriquet is Scratch Gravel !;
bis name is Rondodge. He is native of
Massachusetts, but has been rover for Ia
years-being now % years of age. He con-
fesses to having hunted Indians in Florida !;
that he was sent to prison for life for muir.

JACKSON HARRIS, gentleman of the
African persuasion, was up before the
Police Court yesterday, on charge OF
striking Joseph Manners with a club.
Jackson works ut the tobacco factory,
on the corner of Union and Water
streets, opposite the residence of Mr..
Manners; about ten days ago young
white man was driving dray in front
of the factory, and seeing the darkey,
made some remark about the freedman.
Jackson did not appreciate the compli-
ment, ard Selling club, hurled it at
the drayman's head. The club missed
the drayman, flew across the street and
struck Mr.. Manners on the head. Jack
son quit work, and placed himself on
the other side of the river in much less
time than did Tom. Theaker, in 1856.
He came over to the city yesterday, and
officer Tracy arrested him. He was
given a hearing before the Police
Court, and fined five dollars and costs.

WINTER FASHIONS IN CLoAES.-The
new cloakings for this winter are all
heavily tuftcd, half an inch thick, and
are exceedingly soft and warm. We
have had all sorts of reminders Of those
noble animals, the horse and dog, in
medalions and buttons, but now, as the
cold weather comes on, the dog star
sets, and the bear is to have his day;
Ursa Major appears above the horizon
and gives his name to the shaggy sacks,
which hereafter are to be known as the
polar bear, the grizzly, etc. The An
CORA goat has also been robbed of his
thick, warm fleece to add to feminine
comfort; and we have beside these the
Astrachan cloth and lamb skin, the
camels' hair, llama and Alpine cloaking.
The polar bear is of course white and
thick, and shaggy, and is suitable
for the street when comfort is most
requisite, but is too rough i'll appear
ancc for opera or evening wear where
full dress is required. Astrachan cloth
| is an excellent imitation of the lamb
skin, so much used last winter for mufls
and victorines. 1t has short, knobby
tufts, is of all quiet colors, and it is
said will be more used for ordinary
wear than any other material. The
Alpine and camels hair are beautifully
fine and soft, and make elegant wrap
pings. There is great variety of colol
and design in these cloths. Pure whit,
is the original camels' hair and llama
but there are now scarlet grounds will
a long, white, silky fleece, or striped il
gilt and black, or blue and white; anC
more beautiful still is the stella Hams
silver and gilt stars on white ground
These cloths are very expensive, costing
Sl5 and $50 per yard, but they are wide,
and fortunately it does not take many
yards to make cloak.
Although rough cloths are most used
many pattern cloaks are made of heav.
French beaver. Most of those imported
are of steel gray or purple. There can
of course, never be anything mor'
elegant than velvet, but this year there
is a beautiful article of plush as fin,
and as costly as velvet, which man!
consider preferable.
The French cloaks, lately imported
are exceedingly graceful, though there
is but little novelty or variety in shape
Wide, flowing sleeves, cores set in a
the side, and deep points at the bacl
and side, constitute the difference be
tween the loose sacque of last season
and of this. Circulars, in which Their,
there can be nothing new, and jaunty
tight-ftting basques, with skirts deepl,
pointed behind, rolling collars, Goa
sleeves, and pockets with large flaps
compete in vain with tho loose saequ,
for supremacy.
