On. Friday last Frank Calvert, eolored, ap-
peared bsfore Justice D, O. Thompson, Of this
place, and made oath to the following facts: He
was employed at Mr.. Richard Confess, who re-
SIDES at Java, about eight miles from Annapolis,
On Thursday he called Mr.. Contee' s attention to
the insecure state Of wheel Of the ox-cart. Mr..
q. told him that It would stand. Calvert went to
hauling wood, watching and wedginE the tire Of
the wheel during the day; but night coming on,
he could not see, and the tire worked on and the
wagon broke down. Mr.. Contee, being called TO
the spot, Immediately attacked him with IN un-
opened knife in his hand, beat him severely, he
having been under the doctors hands for month.
Altar Mr.. @. had stopped, and while he (CalyertI
lay on the ground, his son-a youth-cominR up,
and seeing his father lying down in the condition
he was, supposed the wagon had fallen on him,
commenced to cry and scream, when Mr.. q. pro-
cseded to beat him. Mr.. Thompson issued on
these facts q warrant for the arrest OF the &C
cused. 1t was learned by statement, not under
oath, however, that on Friday morning Mr.. Con-
tee called at Calvert's house, and asked his wife
If Calvert was in. She replied that he had gone
to town about daylight At this Mr.. Contee at
tackled and beat the woman, she at the time lying
in bed and, it is stated, was within two weeks Of
Q confinement. 4
The warrant, which was Q special one, and
should have been returned to the justice who
issued It, was delivered by the sheriff to deputy,
who, It is reported served the warrant on the &C
cused, who promised to appear before Justice
Howard n. DuvRll, Of the First district, where
the assaults were made, waive an examination
and give bail for court. Justice Thompson, how.
ever, intends to demand the return Of the proceed
inEs to himself. CHlVert's face was so cut up by
the knife that It had the appearance Of q man
having the smallpox, on which belief the justice
wher he made his appearance to make complaint,
was about to order him out Of his office.
The Rev. Father Wyrick is on . spiritual re-
treat Of ten days. Father Schwartz continued
the SAbbath-eYening lectures on the "Creed Of
the Catholic Church" at St. Msry's church last
night, his subject being the necessity Of divine
Saviour to redeem man from the effects Of the
fall. The Rev. Mr.. Taylor Of West River,
preached at the First Charge NJ. E. church yes
terdsy morning and evening. A meeting promo
tive Of Christian holiness was held at the same
church in the afternoon.
~ The neWsboys' and bootblacks' excursion from
Baltimore arrived here about one o'clock in the
steamer Chester. The boys were marched to the
State house. where an address Of welcome was
made then by Hon. Jas. S. Franklin, clerk Of the
Court Of Appeals. The old town rang with the
music Of the band and the hilarious cheers Of the
truth be told) motley crew. Once in the veners-
bic and historic old State house, they proceeded
to take possession Of It, and ran up and down
the stairs and through the hall, waving their
flags shouting and screaming 'tHke mad" the
sncient corridors resounding to the unWonted
songs. No restraint was put upon them, and
they evidently enjoyed the affair intensely.
through some Of the principal streets
and around the Governors mansion there was so
much enjoyment inside OF the boys 1t had to come
outside, which It did IN cheers and singing. The
quiet town and denIEens thereof were aroused.
About two o'clock the procession, with as much
precision as bootblRoks and neWsboys could mus
ter, proceeded to the boat. The excursionists
were accompanied by John T. Ford, ESQ.,, E. V.
Hecmange, editor Eeps, Of Baltimore, other
members Of the press, gentlemen and ladies Of
the committee in charge. r.
