crease the capital stock of said company

On THE INcREAsE.-Our exchanges all
over the country are teeming with accounts
of hurglaries. This branch OF crime seems
to be decidedly on the increase, and, what
is worse, the majority of the thieves cap
tured prove to be boys and young men. 1t
may be that the old hands are too expert
to be caught often, but it looks bad to see
so many youths thus engaged.
FEMALE BEszINIsT.-Officer Hughes on
yesterday arrested Mrs. Fitzgerald, on
North street. near Fourth. She presented
q pitiable spectacle. having been engaged
in hiding benzine for two or three days.
1t is bad enough to see man debased by
liquor, but when a woman SO far forgets
herself and her high station as to become
intoxicated. she presents spectacle at
which angels weep.
50 STEALING A WATcH.-Some two weeks
since some ene stole Daniel O'Brien's watch
and chain, valued at $25. Suspicion fell
on a youn G man named John Brown, who
had been W orking for O'Brien, and board
ing at his house. On Friday Brown was
q
Hughes. On being brought before the
Mayor he plead guilty, and was sent to the
county Jail for thirty days, on bread and
water.
A GENrEEL PREsENT.-The present of a
gum overcoat ordered by the Board of Di-
rectors of the Ohio Penitentiary, to each
member of the Columbus Fire Department,
has already been received. In addition to
the coat the boys have each been presented
with a pair of rubber overalls. This pre-
sent is timely, and, as a tribute to the eff
cheney of our fire edepartment.wel deserved.
We hold the belief that no city in the United
States has SO efficient. gentlemanly. and In
telligent q lot of firemen, as this little vii
lage of Columbus.
GARRoTED AND RoBBED.-On Saturday
evening, as an old huckster named Weedy
or Wildly, was going home from the city,
he was stopped atthe east edge of town by
three men, who jumped into his wagon,
and two of them garroted him, while the
third .swent through his pockets" They
robbed him of about $40. He recognized
two of them, and from his description the
police were enabled to arrest them. Officer
Smith on yesterday arrested man named
Bill Davis for being concerned in the al
fair. ,s.5 Il sszt.l = -.

In QUANDARY.-We saw beDzinist
Last night in quandary. He stood at the
corner of Broad and High streets, holding
up lamp post. His hat was very much
battered; his dress awry; his step un-
steady, and his eyes half closed. He was
talking to himself for want of better COM
pany, and disconrsed thusly: (Which
hic-1l do? Hole on er leggo? If
leggo-hic-I'll fall down-hic-in er CUR
rer. IfI hole on-hic-IIl stay-hic-here
all night"
We could but think he resembled many
another we have seen. in not knowing
whether to .shole on or leggo."
"A MANHOOD Row.-A moke, named
Napper, we believe, drew a pistol on an
other of the same persuasion, at the African
Church. on Gay street last night, for some
real or fancied injury. The assaulted
manhood yelped like hound pup, until {
policeman came up, upon whose advent
the Napper woke up and made 2:20 tim
down Gay street, with the officer and
crowd after him. We never saw mok
get over the ground equal to that Napier
Dexter Is nothing to him. He hid himsel
