| THIEVES entered the grocery store OF Neudeck
| Laurent, corner Of Rampant and st. Ann streets,
on Tuesday night, by wrenching open door
| opening on the latter street. A small amount OF
| change left in the money drawer was stolen by
| them.
The LEyEE ON THE RIVER side of the Pontchar-
train railroad, from ST.. Louis Cont street, as
far up as the depot at Girod street, whenever it
rains, is overfowed to such degree that freight
waiting for transportation suffers serious detri-
ment. The superintendent of the road. George
| Pandely-snd most vigilant, obliging and effi-
cent superintendent he is-we are satisfied needs
| only reminder of this fact, in order that he may
have the proper drainage made.
YESTERDAY was the gloomiest day of the year.
The rain began early in the night before and kept
up its dreary fall until nearly dark last evening.
AN ALPNE HAT, taken through error last
| evening from a seat at the Academy of Music,
| can be claimed at this office at any time after
| twelve O'Clock to-day, by the proprietor, on his
returning similar one left in its stead, and the
unconscious robber will stand treat.
CAPTAIN WHITE. chic, of detectives, yester-
day morning arrested Pierre Betin, at his place of
residence on st. Philip street, upon warrant
charging him with having been concerned In the
| robbery of Gabriel BonDecarre's store, ON Pal
| myra street, on the 18th inst Captain White
| ports that skeleton key and pair of outsiders
| were found in the apartment of Bertin. The ac-
| cused was confined TO await examination.
SMALL BLACK BOY rushed into the First Dis
tTict ponce Office last evening, out OF breath hav-
| ing evidently been hotly pursued by somebody.
| When questioned, he said that another colored
boy had been stealing apples, aud that the latter
| being pursued had run away and the loser of the
| fruit had chased him by mistake. This story
seemed rather improbable, but as none appeared
to make complaint, the officers were about to let
| the boy depart when their attention was suddenly
attracted by humping sound, and 10. there had
| fallen to the floor big mellow apple and lus-
| cious, golden oraDge-wbich the young rogue,
| fearing detection, was adroitly endesvoring TO
| shuttle into the pocket Of another little dsrky
| aDdipg near him. Further explanations were
unnecessary.
CROWDED STRKETs.-Although the delay has
been necessarily disagreeable TO every one con-
cerned, yet it has been with the greatest pleasure
that the writer OF this has several times in the last
few days found himself in street cars which had to
be halted some time TO allow the mass Of drnys and
| wagons IN front of them to be dsentangled. 1t
| was pleasant, for the fact showed that trade of
all kinds is reviving, that something Of the hurry
/ and hustle of old timee, when everybody had
| plenty to do and made plenty of money, is return
| ing. There are but few of the citizens of New
Orleans who would object if the crowds of drays
and floats loaded with the cotton Of the South and
| the produce Of the West, made the trip in street
| car on Magazine or Tchoupitoulas street from
Canal to Poydrss half hour long. for that would
| evidence genuine prosperity. Why, on Broad
! way, New York, at the corner of Fulton street,
| there is an nexticable block every five minu tes,
while the paving of Nassau street has to be relaid
three times year. Don't we wish our streets
1
| the cost of repairs be paid.
AUCTION SroREs.-Those of our readers who
are frequenters of the streets, local reporter
ey-o6ici0 ie must have noticed the great increase
| recently in the number of auction stores. Hardly
| block can be walked in certain portions OF the
| city without seeing the red flag and hearing the
| mOnotonous tum-tum Of the drum. There was
| time when il was considered terrible sacrifice Of
| goods TO have them sold at public outcry, as it
used to be called. Bat the business has now been
reduced to such system, and the prices obtained
| are generally so exact reflection OF current
| markets, that many manufacturers and wholesale
| dealers dispose of their goods in no other way.
The great advantage of this method OF selling Is,
of course the certainty of an immediate sale, and
this certainty counterbalances the fear OF the
obtaining small price, particularly as such fear
is i'll grounded. The time for getting goods really
| worth anything cheap at auction is rapidly pass
Ing away, and from present appearances, the day
is fast approaching when that method OF dispo'
sing of articles will be recognized as the only
legitimate, safe and speedy one by merchants who
wish to be considered enterprising.
A MINISTER CALLED Rev. W. F. Adams, rec.
tor of st. Psuls Church in this city, has been in
vited to Christ Church, Savannah, as successor
TO the late Bishop Elliot, who was long the rector
of that venerable parish. 1t pleasant to record the
fact that people outside of New Orleans are thus
Joining with own citizens in the recognition oil
