Disturbance In RobertsvIlIe.

Yesterday morning about five o'clock con-
siderable disturbance occurred at the house
OF Joseph Werm, In Robertsville, which at
tracted the attention of Policeman Clancy.
On proceeding thither he found that the
rumpus was occasioned by white man,
giving bis name as =. j. Dummy, who was
under the influence of liquor, and who was
kicking up row because he was ordered to
leave the premises, which he had invaded
without leave. The officer carried the dis
turber to the barracks.
About half-past ten o'clock yesterday
morning another disturbance occurred at
the same house, which was occasioned by NJ.
j. Macdonald entering the place and ours
ing, abusing and striking one Joseph Burke.
He was ordered to leave, but refused to do
so, and Policeman Bender came along and
captured him. He will be one Of the invited
guests at the Police Court matinee to-day.

Stealing Papers.

Subscribers who are sometimes annoyed
at not receiving their favorite journal, are
apt to lay the blame upon the carriers. This
is not always just, as, except Ia case of sick
ness, the carriers are very regular in making
their rounds, and take especial pride in
earning a reputation for promptness and
regularity. In many cases the papers are
stolen by sneak thieves from door stoops
and yards, and sold. In Atlanta, q day or
two since, Joseph VIM was convicted In
the City Court for stealing paper, and this
should prove warning to Toys who make
practice OF carrying papers away from the
yards in which they are left by the carriers.
This boy will serve term of three months
or pay forty dollars for stealing a paper
worth five cents. The enforcement of this
law appears, however, to be the only way in
which the exceedingly annoying practice Of
paper stealing can be broken up.

The LuYenfIen.

The lively opera "Pinafore" was given at
the matinee Saturday by Miles Juvenile
Opera Troupe, and in manner most credit
able. The singing was good, and the rendi-
ton very satisfactory. The opera has prob
ably never been better presented
here, even by adults. Through
out the audience were complimentary, and
their applause was frequent aad cordial. In
the evening the charming opera, ''The Lit
tie Duke" was presented to a very fine
Saturday night audience. The prin-
cipal characters were remarkably
well sustained, and the entire performance
afforded satisfaction. 1t is not necessary to
particularize, but we will say that these ju-
veniles have proven themselves capable of
producing in excellent style the sprightly
and amusing operas which constitute their
repertoire.
