present time large number of boys in
this city engaged in picking up old

and james Walters, the two men COM
mitted to Jail by Justice johnson on
Monday last on the charge of riot, etc.,
were yesterday brought before Judge
Caldwell on a writ Of habeds corpus.
The counsel for the prisoners claimed
that as the disturbance occurred in the
town of South Wheeling, Justice john

This motion was overruled, and the
prisoners were admitted to bail in the
sum Of three hundred dollars, aud

At the morn's early prime the blithe blue bird.
We are afraid there is more poetry
than truth in the above; for the blue
bird, with its "blithe CAROL" is already
