A NERVOUS FEvER.-Eycr since the sum-
mary departure of Mr.. Hodges, Judge Harlan
of the City HOTEL has been exceedingly eau
tious about admitting night guests. last Sun
/ day morning about 3 O'Clock, the door bell Of
his mansion was most violent tinkled, ano
the voices from the outside summoned up I'M
/ pleasant memories in the mind OF the aroused
Judge. He protrudcd his venerable head from
a very remote window, and in voice husky
with the dignity of the law, demanded who the
intruders were and what their mission. The
! response was, that they were men from the
county, who had in their charge person whom
they desired TO turn over t6 the custody Of iron
bars. The Judge winked at this ancient dodge,
and quietly informed his disturbers, that that
joke was too old, and had long since been con-
signed to the almanac. At this information the
Waterman Hamilton, to whom the doors were
opened, and a negro boy, who had robbed the
store of Mr. Charles Palmer, of Arbor Hill, on
the evening previous, was taken in.

DARING BURGLARY.-On last Friday night
a bold thief entered the residence OF K. M.
Gushing. Esq.,, in the western suburbs OF the
city, and stole the pants, vest and coat OF Mr..
w. A. Gushing, together with valuable
watch, about S. in money, and some other ar
ticles of clothing. 1t is supposed that the thief
effected his entrance through the transom
above the door. No one was aware OF the Wis
it of the unwelcomc guest, until the next
morning, and although the articles stolen were
living very close to the bed in which Mr.. Cush-
ing was sleeping, no noise was heard. Who
ever the thief was he was certainly well ac-
auainted with the premises.
Various other minor burglarles have occurred
in town within the past week, and until lit
tie cold lead is distributed around, we may eX-
pect to hear of others. We advise all to be Oh
the alert and ready to apply the remedy at
short notice.
