Our banquettes are unnecessarily blockaded
from morning until night and from night

rels, which partially on entirely impede
progress Of even the most agile. The simple
fact is not Objectionable, but the constant
obstructing of passageways is too much for
good or i'll nature, Awnings and sheds in

most every point, which had induced Henry

not to obstruct the light from said lamps,
and that said awnings or sheds be rendered

BRIEF MENTIoN.-The lad who was
drowned Wednesday evening, was a son of
Francois Voison, No. IA st. Phillip street.
Henry Adams, who was run over by the
Chattanooga cars q few days ago, died yes
terday. He was twentt Weight years old,
and native Of Florida. .-
BY carelessness of a servant. the dwelling
of +. Lauer, No 6l5 Magazine street. was
nearly destroyed by fire. A lighted candle
was Left on the floor while the servant slept.
The damage was slight, ."- 'r'
Alfred Smith was arrested for wounding
A. Rafael. ..-.
Arthur Blanca stood On burning deck
when he entered the den of Mollie Jack,
Dauphine street. He went in with sixty
golden dollars and twenty-five made of
green tinted paper; when he departed he
could not find the ghost Of "a car ticket. The
Moll was captured, but the money was not
S. Thompson, who tolls not honestly, but
is spinner Of long lies, goes down to the
Criminal Court to answer for attempting 10
rob Mr.. Siiverstein's store, on Poydras
street, and burglariously Entering the house.
The magnificent charges against George
and James Wingard were again continued,
but probably viii be dismissed On the
twenty-ninth.
Uriah Cash. the cunning of whose ri .ht
hand dcceives the sight Of suckers who
think they can tell wher RE the little joker
rests. was before Reco1 der Houghton for
swindling Mr. Clarke q ntinued until the
twenty-ninth. Criah gate bonds to appear,
but Clarke did not, and probably lie will
leave town today.
RELEASE OF TILE BURGLAR PIERRE BER-
TIN.-This man, marked down by the
police as one of the worst burglars and
thieves who ever infest ted this city, was,
yesterday, released fro1a prison by Judge
Cooley. on a writ of haHe as corpus. After
Berth was released by the same kind of
a writ, on his return to confinement. when
Governor Warmoth revok ed his provisional
pardon, or police rearrested him for rob-
bling Mr.. Clarl,'s residence, corner of
Canal and Broad streets, on the fourteenth
of last February, and it was from this
charge that he was set at liberty Yesterday.
Superintendent Badger has proof that
Berth tried to sell one of Mr.. Clark's
diamonds not many days ago. and intended
to prosecute him to-day before Recorder
Houshton on complaint Of Clark. Proof
exists that Berlin was directly concerned in
robbing Mr.. Vredenbefg's warehouse Of
wine and glass, but it is useless enumerating
his offenses, as he is now placed beyond the
reach of detectives. Unless he is caught in
the act of stealing there seems little chance
of giving him IA regular situation in our
State Penitentiary. Mt. Malone, of the
detective force, has kin div placed in our
hands long list of erin es opposite Bertin's
name, all of which We have published and
republished until our aNers must be weary
with the recital.
1t may not be out Of place to state that
one or two charges against the accused are
still pending in the Criminal Court. 1t is
to be hoped that Pierre'a late lively expert
ences will induce him to seek Few pastures
and rid New Orleans of his vexatious pres
ence.
The diamond referred to above has been
in the possession of several citizens, but was
traced directly to Pierre, and was fully
recognized by the owner
LOUISIANA COTTON FACTORY.-This new,
and, SO far, successful enterprise, which has
now been in operation Long enough to manu-
facture a number of tho dsands Of yards of
cotton cloth. was visited yesterday by num-
bers of citizons. who took great interest in
witnessing the entire process by which raw
GOTTEN as seen in the bale, is converted into
shectine. as seen in MANY domestic uses.
A more extended notice of this promising
enterprise will appear in the columns OF the
REPUBLICAN.
APPRECIATED PoLIrEkss.--The reporter
of the REPUBLICAN at the Parish Conycn-
ton yesterday. desires not to omit notice
