LOCAL MATTERS.

ROBBERIEs SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
Saturday night the book and nesys-store Of
Ellyson &sYancey, Main street between
Eleventh and Twelfth, was entered by way
OF the skylight, it is supposed, and the
drawer robbed OF its c0ntents-only about
seventy-fve cents in coppers. According TO
the custom of the firm, all the money had
been removed from the drawer to the safe
on Saturday. So far as known the coppers
were the only loss. The thief went out OF
the back door. A night-cerk sleeps in the
store, but was absent until II O'Clock. His en-
trance may have frightened the thief away.
1t is supposed that the same party, after
having been frightened away from Ellyson
& Yancey's, endeavored TO enter the hat
store Of A. A. Allen & Co. He climbed
over the wall in the rear of the building,
and after having found out that it was i'm
possible to obtain an entrance through the
windows or doors (Which were fastened
with iron barsl gave up the job.
Sunday night j. E.. Morris & Co.'s store,
Main street near the Old Market, was en-
tered from the rear by fight of steps lead
ing to room above the store. The thieves
got in through the transom. Then it is
supposed that one OF them helped the other
to descend into the store through the sky
light. They turned down the gas; then
with hatchet priced open the cash-drawer
and took from it the sum Of 81. They did
not take any groceries. Nothing else was
taken.

ISCENDIARY WORK LAST NIGHT.-Be-
tween 10 and IL O'Clock last night fire was
discovered in the carriage mandatory OF
Mr.. o. A. Francis, situated in Tobacco
alley between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets and Main and Franklin streets. a
colored woman, whose attention was at
tracted by the light, gave the alarm, and Mr..
Brophy and Policeman Hulce went in, and
after considerable difficulty extinguished
the flames. Fire had been put to the estab-
lishment in four places-in two places down
stairs and in two places up stairs. Upon
an examination it was found that tar had
been poured all around the Office and on the
floor above in several places. The establish
ment was found securely fastened up except
the front carriage-entrance. The bar across
the door had been removed and was inside
near the office door, and the door merely
pushed to.
Mr.. Francis was sent for and informed Of
the occurrence.

g. w. NORvEHIl.

| Mr.. g. Il. Norveli. for more than a year
connected with the DEMOCRAT, died yester-
day of the prevailing disease. His case was a
peculiarly sad one, his death being preceded
only few hours by that of his only child q
bright boy, lacking but few days Of being
four years old. Mr.. Norvell came to this city
about eighteen months ago. He had but few
acquaintance here then, but soon managed
to make many friends. Last year he became
attached To the corps of the DEMOCRAT: he
nude himself useful in almost every depart
| ment Of the paper, attended to the telegraph,
performed the duties of a reporter. and occa-
sonally wrote editorials.
Mr.. Norvell was native of Lynchburg Va
He was O mere child when the war began. but
as soon as he reached his fourteenth year he
Joined o Virginia artillery company In the
Confederate service and served therein until
the end OF the war. Soon after the war he
left Lynchburg and settled In Cincinnati
where he was engaged in the tobacco bust
ness. While in Cincinnati he married, lived
there md in CovingtOn until last year. when
he came to New Orleans. and finding business
here, settled and wrote for his wife and child
to join him.
He was well pleased with New Orleans. and
had determined to make his home perma-
nently here. When the fever came, he not

protfer his services to the Howard Associa-
tion. Being utterly unacclimated. he was
finally persuaded to give this idea up, but on
several occasions assisted in nursing friends
and neighbors sick Of the fever. To this
charity and philanthropy is doubtless due
his death.
Last Friday he was taken sick. His illness
and death We're peculiarly sad. He and his
child were attacked with the fever within
few hours OF each other; together they lay
sick in the same bed together they died. The
tie that bound them together was unusually
strong, Norvell was devoted father. wholly
wrapt up in his boy; the child, handsome
precocious, extraordinarily developed for his
age, was glad to lie by his father. He had often
expressed a desire to die at the same time
with his father.
Heaven granted his prayer. The little boy
expired yesterday morning. and the father
shocked by the childs death, soon followed
In death they were not separated"
Mr.. Norvell was a man OF q kind, quiet and
amiable disposition. He was of retiring
disposition, and therefore scarcely as well
served. He made many friends here by whom
his good qualities will ever be remembered
He leaves behind him a widow who has
shown her heroism in this terrible catas-
trophe, which tore from her her husband and
her only child, With strength of mind and
courage possessed by few, she nursed these,
her dearest ones, to the very moments Of their
deaths, refusing herself rest or sleep.
Father and son We're followed yesterday
evening to the grave by the whole staff of the
DEMOCRAT, who will long mourn his loss as a
valuable colleague, a pleasant companion and
beloved confrere.

The latest proffer to nurse the sick comes
from d man In North Carolina who offers his
services gratuitously, for otherwise his life Is
being wasted He Is an opium eater, he
avows, which, instead OF incapacitatlng him
for the arduous duties Of attending upon the
sick, on the contrary enhances his value; for,
he says, oil doctors will agree with him that
his habit gives him immunity from the dis
ease The application has the quality Of dis
interestedness, for the writer wants no COM
pensation.

The special committee of the Council have
ordered 300 barrels of copperas from Chicago,
where the price is eighty-tive cents per 100
pounds. The probability is that the city will
have no freight to pay on the copperas, since
the New Orleans. st. Louis and Chicago Rail-

port all disinfectants free of cost. The COM
fnittee have also ordered 800 barrels Of lime
