The attention of the authorities has been
called to 4 shocking case in which a little
girl of ten years, residing on l. street, was
recently outraged by beast in the form of
q man, and in addition contracted n loath-
some disease. The fellow was friend of
the family, and consummated the deed one
evening during the mothers temporary alb
sence from home. So far he has elUded
arrest.
T.. J. Baldwin has engaged Ed. West as
his lightweight rider for 1857 Ii is doubt
full if West, in his line, had u superior on
the Western circuit this year. He is not
only skillful and determined, but above
suspicion i'll the matter Of honesty. lie
was badly injured two or three weeks
since, when Governor Bowie's mare fell
under him, and it is doubtful about his
being seen i'll the saddle again this year.
James Murphy. while drunk Wednesday
night, committed battery upon a young
lady at his boarding house. Officers Sulli-
van and Ferral subsequently arrested him,
but on the way to the station-house, while
they were in the vicinity of Second and J
streets, he suddenly turned and gave Ferral
blow in the eye, which has left that optic

without gloves that ensued, he was
beaten.
A resident of the lower portion of the
city suggests: =" ] see that we are TO have
two sewers from K to y street, 10 carry the
sewerage and drainage, but there does not
appear to be any intention to enlarge the
opening through the Y-street levee for its
passage into the drainage canal. The pres
ent opening was not large enough when
there was only one sewer bringing the
water to it, and it should be enlarged to do
the work that will hereafter be required
of it."
A certain member Of the legal fraternity
has been the envied of other fishermen for
his luck in catching blue cats up tbs
river he always managing to bring back,
after each excursion, a string Of fine large
ones. His secret has been discovered,
however, and he will not do so well here
after. The professional fisherman owning
the tish-boX which this legal chap has been
in the habit of robbing has moved it to
another place, where it can't be got at so
readily!
About 6:3O last evening, as Charles Her
zog was riding on horseback up NJ street,
at the corner of Eighth he colided with q
buggy going i'll the other direction, the
shock being so great that he was thrown
over the head of his horse to the ground,
injuring his leg somewhat severely. The
horse wheeled and ran back down the
street, racing with the buggy horse which
tried to run away. He was stopped at
Seventh street, and the driver of the buggy
horse got his animal under control about
the same time.
During the season of hard times there
is usually plenty of work for the lawyers.
Per CONTRA, when times are good there is
little litigation. If these propositions are

joying q season of great prosperity for
there is very little doing at the Court house
There being no cases on the calendar, The
Courts have nothing to work upon, while
the attorneys are wailing because there are
no cases TO commence and the ink is dry
ing in the County Clerks bottles.
A burglar visited the residence of Will
lam BalsZ, at Eleventh and Q streets. We'd
ne5dav night, and his movements were
heard by Mrs. Basz shortly after the FAM
lily had retired. Thinking it was the cat,
she asked her husband to get up and take
a look, but directly upon his doing so q
mans voice was heard directing him to
stop, threatening to shoot if he advanced
further. Balsz, in his establishment,
paused a minute, and then told the in
truder to go on with his shooting. He did
not receive any response, however, for the
fellow had fled from the premises
