Thief DETEcTED.-A German, who had
patterns for cutting clothes for sale, called at
police headquarters yesterday afternoon and
stated that though he was tho inventor, and
had sold no sub-rights, still that in his efforts
to sell he found that his arrival in this city had
boon preceded by his own patterns, and he was
at a loss to know how it could have happened,
without the man who printed them for him in
Richmond, from which city he hailed, had
taken advantage of his absence to print more
and sell them to other people. The police,
however, had noticed man selling patterns in
the morning, and knowing his whereabouts, in
stautly went after him, aud in few minutes
returned with him He too was German and
hailed from New York. AS soon as the de-
spoiled saw him he said that is the man who
slept in my room in Fredericksburg night be-
fore last, went away early in the morning, and
| had to pay his hotel bill aud he it is who
abused my confidence to steal my patterns
The accused confessed that he had robbed his
countryman, and returned to him such of the
patterns as he had not sold. He was then lock-
cd up 10 the station house, but as no one APP.
pearcd against him this morning, was dis.
charged.

insane, and who will be examined for lunacy to-
morrow. She has been imprisoned for several
days, during which she has succeeded in Great
ing lively times, not only in the Jail, but
throughout the entire neighborhood. Within
the prison she breaks and destroys everything
she can lay her hands upon, last night going
so far as to smash the bcdstead and Stats to
pieces, which she piled up in the middle of the
room, and sitting upon the apex, after the
mauner of Attia, called for matches with which
to kindc her pyrc; and when allowed to go into
the yard it requires the force OF the jail to get
her back again. Without the Jail she renders
herself annoying by her vociferous hymn sing
ing, in which she INDUCES during almost the
entire night, and great relief will be expert
enccd by the whole neighborhood when she is

WATER DEFICIENCY. There is no reason
able doubt that one, and the main cause of the
slow pace at which Alexandria extends her linn,
it's, is the bad condition of the extrcmtles OF
the streets and the lack of gas and water on
those extrcmi,ies Though the city owns the
gas works, the entire ends Of the streets are
rot furnished with gas lamps; and the water
mains don't extend to within several blocks OF
the termination of even those streets that are
lined with bulldogs. This water deficiency is
a serious Inconvenience, for the pumps that
worn out, aud arc continually out of order, and
when they are so the people who are aceustom-
ed to use them have TO come or send three or
four squares farther in towards the heart Of
the city, to beg buckctful of their friends, and
this, 10 mauy cases, is no easy task for it Is
against the rules of the water company Tor any
one to use their water save their regular renters
