THIEVES IN HENMCo.-For some time
back the farmers in the neighborhood OF the
Three-mile locks have been troubled with
thieves, who make nightly raids on their
chicken-coops and corn and cabbage crops.
Several weeks ago notorious thief named
Charles Tompkins was arrested on the
charge of stealing cabbage, and while being
conveyed to Jail made his escape from the
officers. He succeeded in eluding the offi-
GERS till Sunday night, when he was caught
in the act Of stealing corn from w. B. An
drews. He was taken before Justice j. N.
Hopkins, who, after hearing the evidence,
sent the accused on to the next term OF the
County Court and committed him to fail.
John Tompkins (eolored) was also before
the Justice to answer the charge Of attempt
ing to shoot Bette Tompkins. He was
fined $3.50 and cost.

RADICAL MEETING.-A wo-begone crowd
OF colored men, attracted by few dim
lights and the sound of speakers voice,
assembled at the corner Of Ninth and Broad
streets last night. It was o dreadfully tame
affair. The orators discussed complex con-
stitutional questions without hesitation and
showed their own ignorance with amazing
zeal. II there were any wayering white
men who looked upon this meeting and
then on that OF the Excelsior Club few
squares higher up the street, and were not
converted to our side, then is argument
useless and illustration idle.
