LOCAL MATTERS.

The Baby Carriage NsGsdnce.-We feel
confident we are conferring favor upon
our readers by showing how to avoid some
the troubles and relaxations imposed upon
them by the baby-carriage nuisance. We
discovered the plan on yesterday, alter
vainly attempting for some time to extricate
ourselves from drove Of several hundred
of them, on Broad street. Our plan is to
find one of them going the same direction OF
ourselves, get behind it, and you are In no
danger of being run over. If you are not
in too great hurry, and are willing to stop
when the carriage does, and wait until the
nurse can swap "a lie or two with every
other baby nurse she meets, you can get
along swimmingly {; if not, you must take
your chances with the rest Of having your
toes mashed, and your feelings hurt by the
impudence Of those in charge Of the dear
creatures. We saw a business man, IN
market this morning, with one of these con-
Germs, inside of which was his baby, not old
enough to hold up its head. He left car
riage and baby to occupy the pavement
while he purchased his marketing. He must
have been anxious to get rid of his baby,
for, if horse had runaway, or the crowd
had become unusually excited, baby, car
rage and all, would have been demolished.
Where is the remedy?

REUNION OF THE TEACHERS OF COL
ORED SCHOOLS.

Several prominent citizens Of Richmond,
approaching the devoted and successful la
bors of the teachers in its colored schools,
invited them to reunion at Dayenport's IS
Saturday evening. The occasion brought
together company of young ladies and
gentlemen whose education and taste emf
nently qualify them for their profession, and
whose success is attested in the well disci-
plined and thoroughly instructed pupils un-
der their charge. Messrs. Manly and
Washburne, members of the board of ed
ucation, to whose labors much of the sue
cess of the school system in this city is due,
were present, and made encouraging and
appropriate remarks. A tasteful and dainty
collation. of cake, ice-cream, fruit and lem
'onade was served by mine host Of the Da-
venport house, which all parties present en-
joyed heartily. m
Speeches followed by John Oliver, Lam
don Boyd, james Bowser, Woodfork, and
Walter II. Brooks. The remarks of all
these gentlemen were well-timcd, em,our-
aging and hopeful. After some fine songs
the company separated, having spent IA de-
lightful evening together. These teachers
contemplate keeping up their studies d, ring
the vacation, with special reference to inl-
proving their capacity for benefitting their
pupils. Their first meeting for that pur-
pose will be on Tuesday afternoon at the

AN ENGLISH OPINION OF AMERICAN
MECHANICS Here is a tribute to Amer
lean industry worth recording. 1t is a tri-
butte from the London Tsmes !: SAT this
moment, Birmingham is losing its old mar
ket. A few years agoit used to supply
the United States largely with edged tools,
farm implements, and various smaller
wares. 1t does SO no longer, nor is Che
cause to be sought merely in the American
tariff. 1t is found that the manufacturers
ofsAmerica supersede us, not only in their
own, but inforeign markets and in our own
colonies, and the Birmington Chamber has
the sagacity to discover, and the courage to
declare, that this is owing to the superior
ity of American goods. High as are the
wages of an English artisan, those of an
American artisan are higher still,
and yet the manufacturers of the Uni
ted States can import iron and steel
from this country at a heavy duty, work up
the metal by highly paid labor, and beat us
out of the market after all with the manu-
factured articles. How is that to be ex-
planned ? The Americans succeed in sup
planting us by novelty of construction and
excellence of make. They do not attempt
to undersell US in the mere matter of price.
Our goods may still be the cheapest, but
they are no longer the best, and in the
country where an ak, for instance, is an in
dispensable implement, the best article is
the cheapest, whatever it may cost. Set
tiers and emigrants soon find this out, and
they have found it out to the prejudice OF
Birmingham trade" es

The arrest Of a Forger-H He has a Fond
ness for the Tyedsurer's Receipt Book
About week ago Captain Tyler, who is
now acting chief of police in the absence OF
Major Poe, received a telegram from Mr.
George M. Buchanan, sheriff of Holly
Springs, Miss, which stated that a man by
the name of Eilbie II. Taliaferro had COM
mittcd forgery there, and that he was prob
ably in Richmond. If found, the Captain
was requested to arrest and hold him and
advise BY telegraph. Subsequently Capt.
Tyler received letter from Mr.. S. b. Sho ,
ford, cashier of the Holly Springs Savings
and Insurance company. This letter stated
that Taliaferro had passed o forged draft
for 5000 on that company, and had got the
the money. 1t was also stated that Talia-
ferro was the son of agentleman living near
Fredericksburg, and it was supposed that
he was making his way.to that place.
The fugitive was described by Mr.. She
ford as s'about thirty years Of age, of good
address, talks rapidly and well, has dark
hair and complexion, and is rather stout"
On Friday morning, Sergeant Peasants
met ON the street young man, who ac-
costed him and presented him with the State
Treasurer's receipt book, which he said had
been given him by man who came to his
room and wanted to pawn it that he had
taken it away from him as soon as he had
discovered what it was, and believing the
sergeant to be police officer from his uni-
form, thought he was good person to
whom to transfer the book.
Sergeant Peasants took the book, but
before doing so insisted that the man should
write his name in it. This he did, and his
autograph can nerhaps be seen to-day in

RESCUE OF A sBoAT's CREw.-On
Friday evening, when the steamer Mystic
was between Sewell's Point and the Rip
Raps, the captain saw three men clinging to
boat which had been capsized in squall.
The course of the Mystic was Immediately
altered, and the whistle was blown as
signal to the men that assistance was COM
ing. The Mystic ran up near the capsized
boat, and Capt. Schermerhorn had his boats
lowered and picked up the almost exhausted
men. The boat proved to be very large
Gloucester canoe, schooner-rigged, and was
capsized during the heavy squall, Friday
evening.
When the boat was first seen from the
steamer, driving rain storm was prevail
ing, and there was a heavy sea in the
Roads. 1t was by mere accident Tor rather
it was providentiaD that the boat was seen.
Had the rescue been delayed an hour longer
the men must have perishcd. The men
were taken on board the steamer, and the
boat taken in tow, and carried to Hampton.
The steamer was delayed an hour by the
time employed in the rescue. Too much
credit cannot be awarded the captain for
his humanity in going to the assistance Of
the drowning men.-Norfok Journal.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH AT YORKTOWN.



The organization known as the "Lone
Robert Norton, its Grand Chief, and DIR. ID.
M. Norton, the Grand Division Inspector
General. Its object is for benevolent pur-
poses, caring for its own sick and burymg
its own dead. Its members have derived
very material aid from it, SO much so that
since its organization until the present time
there has not been one of them compelled
to ask aid from the public authorities, al
though it now numbers many thousands in
its ranks. many Of whom are aged.
This organization determined to celebrate
the 4th, and for that purpose notices were
distributed throughout the counties OF
Gloucester, Mathews, King William, King
and Queen, Essex, Lancaster, Northumber-
land, Richmond, New Kent, Charles City,
Middlesex, James City and Elizabeth City.
These notices were started from the county
of York, at least ten days in advance.
Persons were coming into town all night of
the Sd, and as there was big time antici-
pated, the gentlemen in charge, Mr.. Robert
Norton and DIR. ID. M. Norton, were busily
engaged preparing. They had very large
arbor prepared, capable Of shading from the
sun rays, at least 10, 900 persons. There
was also a stand erected for the speakers.
Under this arbor and upon the speakers
stand, and in fact, every available space was
covered with tables groaning under a tre-
mendous load of meats, fish and everything
palatable. The citizens Of the town con-
tributed largely towards the grand repast.
Particular mention was made of the very
large quantities of refreshments and lemon
ade furnished by Mr.. Chas. Gallagher, and
Mr.. Peter Halstead.
According to appointment, the procession
began to form at its headquarters csSlab-

part of which is owned by the Norton
brothers, at 8 o'clock A. M. After about
two hours preparation, the procession
started, headed BY the Grand Chief, Robt.
Norton, and Grand Division Inspector Gem
eral, DIR. ID. M. Norton, both of whom
were mounted on beautiful prancing steeds.
They were followed by the different officers
of the organization, numbering at least one
hundred, all of whom were mounted, pre-
senting very fine appearance. After the
officers, came the members, amounting in
all to about z 900. They were very beau
tifully uniformed, from the Grand Chief and
Grand Division Inspector General, both Of
whom were handsomely uniformed in blue
,broad-cloth, continental hat, and white
plume in front of hat, and silver star on
side. Altogether, they presented very
imposing appearance, there being at least
fifty flags and banners.

SHARK HARPOoNED.-Ye Yesterday morn
ing shark was seen swimming about the
harbor by some little boys who were bath
ing in The river. The boys were badly
frightened by the appearance of the mon
ster, and hurried to the shore. They called
the attention Of several persons to the huge
fish, and one of the party, Mr.. j. w.
Thomas, pilot of the oyster steamer Virgi-
MIA, determined TO attempt its capture. He
procured harpoon, and, entering small
boat, started in pursuit.
He soon came up with the fish opposite
Nash's shipyard, and struck it with the
harpoon. The fish darted off rapidly, but
became quiet in little while, when another
weapon was hurled at it, burying itself
deeply in the flesh. The shark was then
towed to the shore, and pulled up on the
land. It lived considerable time after it
was dragged to the land. 1t measured
seven and a half feet in length, and was al
together an ugly looking customer.-Nor-
