THE street railway will soon become
fixed fact among us, work having been
commenced on it. Mr.. Gordon, of
Pittsburgh, is the Superintendent.
Capt. Wilson is furnishing the timber
for the stringers and ties, and Messrs.
Armstrong & Holiday are doing the
machine work at their new planeing
mills. The rails have been made and
will be received in day or two. The
putting down Of the track will be
commenced within the last days
of this week or the first Of
next, and will probably be
simultaneous from upper and lower
end of the city, so that in IA few weeks,
we may expect to enjoy all the
modern convenience for locomotion
characteristic of the advan
ced civilization of the present day.
We are among those who believe that
this improvement will be-nOt only u
great convenience to the public but "A

THERE was much confusion night be-
fore last in a respectable uptown
boarding house. Noise and racket sug-
Eestive to minds of a female turn,
OF thieves, robbers, and house

the dear women folks that it.wasn't the
style of n gentleman that makes
thick darkness covering for his wick
euness. Such a one treads softly the
winding stairway, his foot falls noise
lessly as the snow. fake, he glides
through the rooms like ghost, and his
presence is only manifested through
that unaccOuntable, but instructive
sense, which, like some delicate chemi-
cal or philosophical instrument detects
the presence of some foreign subs
stance.
II was not robber but a GENTLEMAN
who had effected an entrance by the
legitimate use OF night key, how
much of effort it may have cost him to
make said key effective we can't saw,
but if the business was as hefty as
the getting up stairs proved to be there
would be but little trouble in account
ing for the late hour at which he brought
up in rather dismantled condition in
his own room. No doubt his eve was
clear and his head all right, but the
legs O! the legs (not strong looking at
hest) how terribly weakened and de-
moraliZed. Somebody seemed to have
borrowed the bones out OF them for
tooth picks perhaps, and failed to re-
turn them. at any rate they were Of

THE attention of the Circuit Court
was taken up pretty much all of yes
terday with the trial Of"Maj." BALDWIN,
for abetting in the escape of Pat. Quin-
Ian and others from the county Jail.
At four O'Clock the case was argued for
the defence by Messrs. Cranmer and
Taylor, and by Mr.. Rodgers, for the
State. Although four speeches were
made, only three quarters of an hour
was occupied, when the case was sub

for the crime of which he is last con-
victed- 1t Is still fresh In the memory OF
our citizens that few years ago Bald
win was convicted Of the murder of
Mr.. Mass at TriadelphiH, in this coun-
~ and sentenced TO fourteen years
confinement in the peniientiary
at RIchm nd. Some time during the
war, the rebel government found it
convenient to empty their penItentia-
ries of every grade Of villains in order
10 fill up the ranks of their depleted
armies. Baldwin was thus released
before he had served half his term of
sentence. AT the close of the war he
returned to this city, out of respect
for his aged mother, the community
seemed inclined to bear with his pres
euce, hoping that since the accident OF
war had given him liberty, he would
80 far appreciate the boon as to behave
himself.
He had not, however, been long in
our midst until it became evident that
