lRoN.-Mr. John T. Broderck, dealer in iron,
&c, Nos. 81 and 60 Greenmount avenue, Balti-
more, furnishes an example of how large
business has been built up from very small be-
ginnings. He began business in 1850, with very
little capital, buying scrap iron, &c and is
now one of the largest dealers in the city, his
operations extending to distant States. He
supplies crude stock to a number of paper and
woollen mills, bone mills iron foundries, &c,
in Massachusetts,, New York, Pennsylvania and
the West. This stock is collected from all
parts of our own and Southern States, and
Its collection furnishes means of eking out a
livelihood to great many poor people. Mr..
Brodcrick is an enterprising business man and
has ACCUMULATED considerable wealth as the
reward of his industry.

CAUGHT AT LAsT.-Early on Monday morn
ing, December 9th, as Messrs. Mitchell and
Bradfeld were out hunting, near IIavre de Grace,
the hounds struck trail and shortly afterwards
gathered at fence corner, where the hunters
supposed an animal of some kind had taken
refuge. Upon going to the spot, instead of
fox, coon or 'possum, they found an old col
orcd man, named Thomas Shelton, with bag
on his shoulder. Shelton had been suspected
for many years of chicken stealing, and the hun
tiers accordingly charged him with having
chickens in his bag He stoutly denied the
charge at first, but upon proposition to search
the bag, he said he had two pullets in it, The
bag was opened, Notwithstanding his protesta-
tions, and instead of two pullets it contained six
or eight dead chickens, which Shelton claimed
to have bought from n colored neighbour He
told confused story explaining his presence at
such an out-of-thc.way place SO early in the
morning, and as number ofpoultry houses had
been robbed, Shelton was arrested, last Monday,
by Constable Charshee, and placed in Jail.
