SEVERAL, ROBBERS SHoT.--0n Saturday night
last gentleman living in Percy-street having
cause to suspect that depredators were about max
ing havoc with his henroost, which was well stock
cd, loaded q double-barroled gun with small shot
and watched for tho villains. AS soon as he saw
them he called to them to stop, which they de-
dining to do, he frod just they were about to
mount the fence. Being badly stung, they left
rapidly, and in their hasty retreat dropped q two
bushel bag, which was picked up by their intend
ed VICTIM who offers to deliver it to them without
aharge whenever they SEQ fit to return the shot
which they carried off with them.
We WERE visited yesterday by Mr.. CHARLES J.
ATwEI1, who has returned from visit to Phila-
delphia, whero he has been to obtain an artificial
leg to supply the one lost in battle he has sue
oeedod admirably, and not only accomplished his
purpose, but has taken the agency for the South
ern States Of the renowned manufacturers Of legs
and arms, Messrs. BIRD KoLBY, OF Philadelphia.
The specimen shown us apparently is as perfect
as it wcre possible to mako them, having springs
and joints 30 arranged as to place tho limb COM
pletely at command Of tho wcarer. Orders may be
left with Messrs. W. G. WH1LDEN Co., at the cor

LEGAL No11oE.-It will be seen, by reference to
mother column, that tho District Court is now
open daily for the disposal OF all cases that como
inder its jurisdiction. This is n feature that has
long been needed, for the crimes of petty larceny
assault and battery, &C., arc alarmingly on the
increase among the colored population, and il not
adjudicated at once the Jail and other public build
mgs will soon be overcrowded with criminals. The
Judge Of this Court is also empowered to adiudgc
and decide il any prosecution bo enterod upon
frivolous pretexts and If this is the case to uuash
the proceedings and subject the prosecutor to pay
the cost Of the suit.
Judge LOGAN had at first many difficulties tc
encounter in tho discharge of his duties, but ht
has already shown himself so thoroughly cognizan
Of all the legal quibbles that inseparabo from
every new ordinance, that tho District Court in hi
hands will not be lingering tribunal, but iustic
will be meted out speedily, and offenders brough
to prompt trial. The number Of petty cases tina
are brought up, and tho light punishment inflicted
ie subject for serious consideration and "
uou1d onco moro ask if those criminals cannot b
made to work out their salvation in some way tina
would benefit tho community, and not, rs at pros
Snt, eat tho broad OF idlenoss?
