the fear of the law before them, gained M
entrance to the Court House through The
office Of +. J. Nelson, Auditor, and after
giving it u thorough inspection and find,
ing nothing worthy of their purposes, pro-
ccedcd to the Judges room with the same
result. 1t Is evident that here they be.
came disappointed and mad at their i'll
success, and revenged themselves by
strewing the floor of the room with the
books Of the library. The point Of assault
was Patrick Quynn's Confectionery stand
Here success crowned their ctf2rts and
after disposing of the stock on hand, took
their departure disappointed but no doubt
wiser men.
APpoINTMLNT-We, are 3 adj 10 chron,

a colored man of this CITY, as keeper of the
Court House. Tanncyhilisa very rcspcc,
table man and useful member Of the Re

but 4 lust recognition of the col0rca voters.
Those who bear the heat aud burden OF the
day are Justly entitled to reap some OF the

MEAN THEfT-The Sunday school room
of the Lutheran church Of this place was
forcbly entered ON last Tuesday night ;
and The case containing the Libraries Of the
school deprecated on to the extent of sin
ty or seventy volumes. The person or
persons guilty Of committing such an act
should have justice mrctCd out to them
with a very small degree Of mercy. We
would suggest to our astutc police that
they inquire of the dealers il Old r1-s, pa
per, &c, and probably they may effect
something.
