Runaway Boy.

Officers Roberts and Henderson were
at the Norfolk steamers wharf this
morning when the boat arrived for the
purpose of taking into custody Matthew
Nicholson, fourteen-year-old boy, who
had run away from his home in Norfolk.
The officers found the object of their
search (who was travelling as first-class
passenger in a state room. The youngster
was taken to the station house until
word can be received from his parents.
The boy has enough money in his pos
session to pay his fare back to his home.
He told the officers he was endeavoriDg
to reach Baltimore where he has rela-
tives. A message had been received
here last night from Norfolk asking the
police to board the steamer on her ar
rival here and take the youth in custody.

Lewis Boswell, living in the western
part of the city, who ekes out a pre-
carious existence by telling for, Nnes'
was the subject of unusual honors at VI
early hour this morning, he having been
.haulded to police headquarters in a
buggy. the motive power being
furnished by Officers Roberts and Hen
derson. 1t seems that during the early
part of the night dog belonging to
Boswell had run at a man who was pass
ing the formers habitation. The
pedestrian became angry and picked
up stone which he threw at the cur
but it struck its owner, who was unseen
by the man who hurled the missile.
Boswelrs scalp was cut by the stone.
He was drunk at the time and when the
officers arrived they found Boswell was
temporarily suffering from locOmotOr
ataxia, and proceeding to Mr.. Charles
yGoods's grocery store they took possession
,of his buggy into which they placed
Boswell. After taking their position on
each side of the shafts the officers started
for Ahe station house where they de-
pusiteI their passenger. The prisoner
was brought before the Mayor this
nnorning. His head showed the effects
,of the cut he had received and his gen
eral unkempt condition was, as usual,
decidedly in evidence. Mayor Simpson
sent him to the work house for 80 days.

Affairs at Fishtown.

Fishtown was almost deserted this
morning, that locality being more quiet
than at any other time during the past
few weeks. About 1000 herring had
arrived, and they were soon taken at
prices ranging from SO to 81 per thou
sand. About two dozen shad had ar
rived. The demand for herring has
been brisk during the past day or two.
1t is generally conceded that there will
be no more large runs of fish, and that
the receipts in future will consist mostly
of small Tags.
