of that department on the twenty-fOurth
instant Invitations from Carr0llton Steam

and Ladder Company No. ! are received.

RELEASED AND COMMITTED j. Retter
was yesterday before Judge Evans for ex-
animation on two charges-one for embez-
cling q silver watch owned by Thomas
Middleton, and the other for em bezzling
gold plated watch claimed by John Lazelle.
On the first count no case was made, but
ON the second the accused went under, being
unable to show that he was innocent. The
entire affair seems to be mixed.
OUr OF BUGGY INro CANAL.-One
of the young men who was reported in yes
terday's REPUBLICAN "a having taken an
involuntary bath in the Broad STREET drain
ing canal has sent an explanatory note to
the reporter. and we're it possible for our
printers to put it in type, literally, our
readers should have the benefit of that in
teresting document. The note denies the
correctness of the published statements,
vet in the same line the writer seknowl-
edges the truth Of nearly all that was
asserted. As the writer of the letter did
not 500 fit to sign his name, it is believed
that he is altogether too modest to live long.
BOLD NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. four o'clock
Yesterday morning George Patterson WAS
assaulted and robbed not far from Poydras
Market. The villains who tackled him
could not possibly have known their man,
as circumstances. prove. Mr.. Patterson
says he did not know either of the men,
and can not understand why they should
have assaulted him unless it was for the
purpose of robbing him. Fortunately he
had only 50 in his pockets. and it is hoped
that the thieves will bny arsenic with it.
The worst is to be told; the scoundrels
broke Mr.. PattersCn's left arm and bruised
MS face. He was sent to his home, on
Poydras, between Franklin and Liberty
streets, and the f0otpads went their way.
APPOINTMENT OF SUPERvIsOR.-Mr. Jerry
Donovan, whose rendezvous is not far from
police headquarters, has been appointed
supervisor Of registration for the third
ward. All who know Jerry will agree in
saying that the appointment Is fist class
and they are rignt. 1T any citizen can be
-rusted with SO important an office, that
nan is Donovan.
GRAND, GLOOMY, BUT Nor PECULIAR
From nine to twelve o'clock, last night,
he appearance of our streets was grand
and gloomy in desolatiOn and darkness.
Few people were abroad. aud all the street
amps we're unlit. At eleven o'clock the
,louds. and only relieved occasionally by
vivid ashes Of lightning, token that
ain storm was coming. The darkness
uggested burglars, and even an honeso
nan might not be chidad for thinking every
,ush an officer. The Western horizon was
ull of promise for wind and rain, unmind-
i'll that our city fathers can save at tho |
piggot and yet open the bunghOle.
Al midnight . thunderbol5 came down
lmost as soon rs the zigZag lightning |
lashed, and must have struck something |
The flash was 90 brilliant as to |
lind and shock all who by chance happened
o be out at tina. unseemly hour. Rain fell
IS if the gates Of heaven had been opened |
" old Pluvius himself.
