Ii ID u:
of Capt. Fl. p. Leslie, of this town, narrowly
escaped being one of the victims Of the
Hooper building disaster in Baltimore re-
Gently. He had an engagement 10 call
upon his friend Mr.. Kelley at his office in
the warehouse (Mr. Kelley was one of the
killed), at two o'clock the hour at which
the building FELL and was on his way there
where he was stopped by a call t. 90 before
a magistrate to make aft lavit to a paper,

Some person or persons have been in
the habit for week or two past, of lmrSt
daily entering the ice house of Mrs. ttrn-
line Howard, and not only carrying oft ice,
but leaving the ice exposed. causing it 10
melt very rapidly. Information has been
received by Mrs. Howard placing the mis-
demeanor upon party of Young lads, and
the name of the leading spirit has been Sc
cured. The object Of this notice is 10 warn
them. not 10 repeat lac act, for if they do
they will be arrested at once and punished
to the full extent of the law. Perhaps these
boys are not aware that when they com
nit this act, they commit a crime for which
they are liable to be consigned t. TIE peni-
Tertiary. This is nevertheless true, and K
they desire to keep clear of that institution
they had better keep away from the ice
house a few days ago when John Ramho,
who serves ice for Mrs. Howard Went To
the house he found one of The large doors
open, the straw removed from ii large por-
ton of the ice, and that on a day when the
thermometer was away up among the nine
ties. Under such conditions it would not
dred dollars worth of ice. y person who
witnessed one of these raids says, that thc
boys each shouldered a lump of ice aS large
as be could carry, and going to the creek
near by they disrobed and taking the ice into
the water with them amused themselves by
playing with it until it melted away, thus
destroying in half an hour, enough ice to
supply Il large family for week.
