Shippen street wharf for the purpose of getting
a boat. They drew from the I1Ver a skif be-

proceeded to the wharf, in company with q
number of men who boarded in his house. and
tried to get possession of his boat. He sue
ceeded after desperate struggle, in his efforts,
and the boat was again launched, After the
lapse of about an hour Terrell visited the house
of Smith, and commenced beeaking the win
dows. After demohshing all the glass in a large
bulk window and sash, he threw a knife though
the window at Mrs. Smith, striking her and in-
flicting a serious wound. Officer Huston, at
this stage of the proceedings, made his appear

New Things in Costume.

We have seen quite number of short dres-
ses worn at balls and parties, this season, and,
10 some, they are very becoming, especially
wheG there is apretty foot and ankle in the
case; but, as general thing we do not admire
them. For The street, as walking dresses, they
arc very appropriate, yet, We have hfrom the
highest authority. that they are going out Of
ion, that, in fact, their day is past. The
latest style Of street dresses are made short. 1t
is true, but they only just clear the ground. La
dies who ha We had handsome silks cut 10 suit
the present fashion. will be sorry to hear this,
10 doubt. Parasols are trimmed with feather
trimming Of all colors-pretty, but very frail.-
