BURGLARS FRUsTRATED.-Three bur.
glars entered the residence Of Mrs

A MAcKEREL CAPTURED. - Albert
White, sixteen year old mackerel, who
escaped from the station house short
time since, was arrested this morning,
while passing along the street with sus-
picious looking bundle, an investigation

and two pair of pants. He evidently
wished to change his mode of life, and
painted to be carpenter, saw the saws
and scared away with them.
The "pouncet box" that Shakespeare s
fop applied to his nose, when incom-
NODDED with the fumes of villainous
saltpetre, was out Of place in the field,
but our military heroes returning from
their victories rightly deem that liba-
ton of Phalon's Night. Blooming Ce-
reus' on their handkerchiefs, adds a
charm to the social reunions which well
come the advent of peace.-At. VernOn
