PETFRsBURG, September II, 1852.
A very peculiar case of youthful deprayl-
~ and crime was developed IN the Mayors
Court thismorninc. Twocolored boys, both
apparently under the age of twelve years,
named George Washington and James
Uardaway, were arraigned on the charge OF
houscbreakiug and robbery. Their crime
was that Of breaking into tho store OF Mr..
johnson. on Old street. and stealing money,
cigars, and groceries Of considerable value.
THEIE CAVE or PLUMBER.
Beyond Fleet street. in the western por-
ton e the city, among tho granite out
groupings which mark the surface; these
bows had found or fashioned small cave
i'm which they had concealed tncr plum
der safe from view. It's Whereabouts were
disclosed by the boys after their. arrest;
and the officer who visited 10 found 1t well
filled with stolen plumber, all of which
was of course seized. From how many
stores this booty had been taken Is not
known. but Mr. JOhnson's goods we're fully
identified, and upon this charge the youih -
full burglars were cont 10 jail 10 be- tried
for houscbrcahine. Their youth may save
them from the pcnitontidry, but 1t VIII

The following day, on our return trip,
when we arrived at Budzapore we found
my coolie tiremen waiting our return, little

conductors mind as to my supposed crime
and insanity.

York Graphic reporter The younger
of the two had entered a private resi-
dence while the inmates were at tea
and the elder stood outside on watch.
The ritter was discovered and was soon
chased from one floor to another by
two gentlemen members Of the house
hold. Somebody called .Policer and
the outside burglar, drawing his re-
volver, responded There. there,
ladies; don't make any fuss. I'll take
care of this fellow he said, and max
ing a rush he grabbed his mate by the
collar and gave him a cuff on the neck
30 he led him down the stoop. The fam
lily breathed more freely and the gentle
men prepared to 90 to the station
house to swear out q complaint When
they arrived there nobody had heard
Of tho case The burglars had van
ished. It's an old trick, but l haven't
heard about it in this neighborhood In

short snarl, and his formidable teeth
cleaned and glistened as the foam dropped
from them, while his eyes scintillated with
rage and excitement.

Meeting Of the Pickwick Club.

Anthropologists held meeting recently
In Washington City and read learned
papers to each other concerning the early
settlement of the Potomac valley. They ar.
rived at the conclusion that there had been
rowing bands of Indians there before the
white men came. As each learned man
made his grave statements corroborating
each other they nodded dignidedly, looked
over their spectacles and resolved to print
their papers for future generations Of
learned men to read and inform themselves
thereby upon this topic. The names Of the
Indians who are believed to have been on
the ground before George Washington se-
lected . spot for the National capital are
not mentioned by the learned men. Future
generations Of anthropologists are left to
solve that problem.
