IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CITADEL GREEN.-The
Boylston house is gradually assuming an appear
ance that will accord with the other buildings on
the green. The workmen are now engaged in
giving it the same colo as the Barrett house on
the opposite corner, and as the two buildings arc
somewhat similar the fine appearance Of the Cita-
del and grounds will be preserved. A large space
near the first building will be enclosed by a fence,
and the laundresses will be provided with ample
space for their duties. When the various improve
ments now in progress are completed, the Citadel
win present a far more slightly appearance than it
has at any previous time. The appropriation made
for thisp purpose mas been well expended, and the
military authorities have rendered their barracks
superior to any in the Southern States.

ARREST OF BURaIARs.-On the night of the 26th,
the house of Cyrus Smith, colored, in Nassau
street, was entered and robbed Of s7S in silver, q
silver watch and clothing. Cyrus was troubled at
the loss Of his household gear, and unbosomed
himself to the detectives. Lieutenant Hendricks
gave the points to his officers who soon arrested
Henry Dozier, Eliza Dempsey and Laura Ann Mus
tipher, all colored, who confessed having broken
into the house. The clothing was recovered and
the thieves sent to Jail.
Sarah Green, whose arrest as a house litter was
mentioned some days since, proves to be a pro-
fessicnal character, and several Of the victimlzed
have recovered sundry articles by means Of her
confessions.

number Of the fancy were present, ari there we're
eparring matches between several o, the masters
of the noble art of self-defence. A ring had been
made in the centre of the hall, and the floor,
which was previously waxed, was rosined to pre-
Vent any Of the champions from slipping. The
spectators were provided with seats which afford
ed them a good view OF the sport. The entertain
ment was va;1ed by singing from o m amateurs
who were present, and the evening passed pleas
antly to all concerned. Pugilistic sports are rare
in this community, and that on Saturday night
did not 'draw" sufficiently to warrant a repetition.

wilmington and Reading Railroad.

Alta meeting of the board of directors of this
road held at Philadelphia, on Tuesday week, a re-
port from the Chief Engineer was read.
1t states that one corps of engineers has been
organized and commenced locating the road at
the Birdsboro' end. Another corps is being
rapidly organized and will commence operations
at the Wilmington end of tue road at an early tay
next week.
We understand that in locating this end of the
road the survey will be commenced at Depont's
Summit, on the Kennel pike, near the Buck
Tavern, and extending from thence toward
Coatesville. The route by which il will enter
this city will not be Immediately determined.
There will be several considerations on which the
decision of this point must depend.
The first is to find the most desirable termini
for the road and locations for Its depot.
The next is to see which of such desirable
points can be reached with the least expense both
in cost Of construction and the cond Ginning Of
land. In considering the latter question, how
ever large subscription of stock by the advo-
cate Of any particular route would have conside..
able effect on the decision.
We presume the particular point at which the
depot shall be located is not a matter of very
great moment to our citizens. but that the road
shall directly enter the city and make its connec-
ton with other roads here is matter of vital i'm
portance, and should be most strenuously ard
urgently insisted upon by every Wilmington
Director and Stakeholder.

TuL DELAWARE FREEDMEN. - Brevet Major
General f. NJ. Gregory. Assistant Commissioner
of the Freedmens Bureau for the States of Della
ware and Maryland, has rendered his report for
the quarter ending March II, 1867 The General
states that the general condition OF the colorcd
people coming under his observation while in
Delaware was satisfactory. Labor seemed album
dant and no evidences or idleness were apparent
Thus far no complaints of inability to secure jus
tiee through the civil courts of the State have
been received from freedmen, and the influence
of the Bureau in the State has only been cxerted in
the cause of education. 1t will be mpacicabie,
he thinks, to fully make known and extend
through Delaware the objects ofthe Bureau, other
than educational, unless the State is constituted

Wilmington or some other central point

a NEw ATLAS OF orR STATE.-Wc learn that
Messls. Pomeroy Il Beers, well known map pub
fishers of Philadelphia, are engaged in making
new map, or rather atlas, of this State We un-
derstand the design is to publish it in atlas form
putting enlarged plans of each of the Hundreds,
Towns, Nc., ON the several pages. We think
this plan superior to the old style of wall maps,
MS II will be more convenient, and plans of the
territory can be shown on n much larger scale.
\ corps OF efficient and experienced engineers,
under the direction of Mr.. Beers, are now on the
ground engaged in making the surveys, and are
at present making their headquarters at the Del
aware House, in our town. We wish them sue
cess in their undertaking, us such work has
long been needed in our Statc.-.Smy,na Times,
We heartily join the Times in wishing them
success in their undertaking but hope while at il
they will give lis map or atlas Of the whole Pc
ninsula. The publishers will find much larger
demand for such map than they will for one Of
this Stats only. There is no map of the PENN
sula as a whole in exislancc, and there is large
demand for one amongst Northern men looking
in this direction with Il view to emigration.
