O'Clock, with Judge Thomas :. Atkins on
the bench. The case OF Solomon Mitchell,
found guilty OF larceny from the person,
and recommended by a Jury for the peni-
tentiary for a term OF eight years, had
been considered by his Honor during the

of punishment, as the party robbed did
not suffer any bodily harm or danger.

the Jury, and the case was rccOmmitted to
them with additional instructions, which
made the case come under the head of
petty larceny. They found no difficulty IN
finding Solomon guilty, and fixing. his
punishment at confinement in Jail Tor thirty
days.

nious assault on Edward Thomas, was

The Wreck OF the Schooner BaIIy.

A CAPTAINS HEROIC EFFORTS TO SAVE HIS
WIPE. CHILD, AND CREw-FOUR PERSONS
DROWNED.
A Cape May special to the Philadelphia
Press gives the following particulars Of
the wreck OF the schooner Fanny A. Baily {:
The schooner Fanny a. Baily, Captain
Manson Hume, Jr., came ashore in a thick
fog on the north bar Of Hereford inlet at
hali-past O'Clock yesterday morning. The
vessel left Windsor, Nova Scotia, fifteen
days ago with a cargo OF $40 tons OF rock
plaster. consigned to Philadelphia. Thick
weather and southwest winds were en-
countered during the passage down the
coast, the land being hidden entirely the
greater part Of the time.
Some time on Sunday evening Barnegat
light was sighted, after which the fog set
tied and obstructed the coast. At 4:30 the
next morning the lookout reported break
ers ahead, and in another minute the after
part OF the vessel thumped upon the sand,

could not decide as TO what course he
should pursue.
ud>lllN SdlUtIlHE up luc SHIPS ldDtIS,
which he afterwards lost in his struggle
with the waves, the captain ordered boat
lowered. Into this were lowered all but
the captain and one sailor, and the boat
was dropped astern to await the lifting OF
the fog. Ere many minutes the heavy sea
capszed the boat. and all, including the
captains wife and only son, boy OF three
years, were tboWn into the sea.
The now almost distracted husband aid
father lowered the only remaining boat
and succeeded in getting the unconscious
wife and child into il, at the same time
throwing a line to the unfortunate steward,
who was struggling with the waves. The
poor fellow, however. was too much eX-
hausted to use if. The next wave cap
sized this boat,'and the only means OF sue
cor remaining was the line in the hands OF
the man who had not left the vessel. With
this the captain reached the schooner, bear
ing in his arms the almost lifeless form OF
his wife.
At11 O'Clock Captain Holmes, OF Life
