Knocked Him Down. Yesterday,
“just as evening was spreading her
sable curtain over the earth, and the
twinkling stars were beginning to
twinkle,’’ a man with a white skin made
a raid upon a poor old cripple freedman,
knocked hiiu down, ritied his pockets,
and fled away. The said white skin,
we are advised, hails from a region that
is smiled over by no Southern or Italian
sky.
Fire. —The alarm sounded by “Big
Steve” on Monday, at midnight, was
occasioned by the discovery of fire in
the cellars belonging to stores Nos. 160
and 160}, situate on Broad street, and
occupied respectively by G. Renkel and
William Samuels. The fire was
doubtless the work of an incendiary,
and would have done no little damage
had it not been so early discovered and
gallantly battled against by our ever
prompt and indefatigable firemen,
Mechanic Fire Company. — We have
already alluded to the efficiency of this
truly gallant corps of firemen, and we
are assured—knowing, as we do, the
feeling of our people toward their noble
defenders against the fiery element —
that we have only now to refresh their
memories as to the effort being made to
raise au amount of money sufficient to
the purchase of a Steam Fire Engine
for the Company. While they ask as
sistance, the Mechanic's offer, therefor,
a quid pro quo, in )'ie way of a ball,
which takes at Masonic Hall, on*
Thursday evening the 6th.
Single copies of the Daily

Money and Crockery Thieves.—
On yesterday, were tried before Judge
McLaws, two freedmen —oue charged
with stealing the sum of fifty dollars
from Mr. Geo. A. Oates, and the other
with Butlerizing certain articles of
crockery from the sales rooms of
Mosher, Thomas & Scliaub. The former
negro was sent to jail—the iatter bailed.

spectively, $3 and $5 and tTie costs of
the Court., N ,
A 16th Section case, keeping a cellar
door open alter sunset, wus lined $1 uud
cost* *
A 34tb section case—that’s a very
bad case—selling spirits on tbe Sabbath
Day. Some people ore often out of
spirits, but they shouldn’t replenish
them on the Sabbath Dhy, and those
who offered them the opportunity must
be punished. Now, in some place or
other, we can’t exactly remember which,
there is a law which authorizes any per
son purchasing liquor ou the Sabbath
not to pay for it. That looks a little
like swiudliug; but it has a tendency
to prevent, somewhat, the vending of
liquors ou that day. The City Fathers
might inquire into it, if they see proper.
At any rate, the guilty party above »1.
luded to, was lined $lO and costs, which
was very lenient on the part of the Re
corder; because, if the guilty party had
been able to pay any more, the guilty
party would have had to pay it.
A couple of colored men who had
had a little fight—one was sober, but
t'other was tight, at the time—paid §2
and $5, respectively.
A 17th section case, shooting within
the City limits, was fined $1 and costs.
An Bth section case, watering a
horse at a street pump, was fined $1
and costs.
A colored lad, for knocking and
abusing some boys—and knocking one
of them down—was lined S2O. This was
an aggravated case, as the defendant
had been calling the little boys “ oppro
brious names,” oftentimes before, and
certainly deserved punished.
A colored woman, for disorderly con
duct, was fined s"> and costs. This was
a sort of mixed up ease with that 34th
section case alluded to above, and hence
the Recorder was lenient, because the
defendant was angry at her husband
spending nonr r liquor, and was
abusive and disoi .crly in consequence^
Bill and Emma were, according to u
statute of the State, man and wife,
though there did not appear to have
been any particular ceremony observed
on the occasion of their wedding. That,
however, is of no special consequence.
Suffice it to say that, like a good many
united confederations, there was not
much unity between them. The fact is,
that happy state of ecstatic bliss des
cribed by Mr. Ingomar in his conversa
tion, when he exclaimed :
“Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one,”
did not exist between this pair. Not
much it didn’t. Hence they quarrelled,
kicked up a bobbery generally ; and
paid $5 and costs each lor the “matri
monial infelicity” which they had exhib
ited under the benignant reign of the
18th section. He was r. bad Bill, but
it is hoped that he and Emma will paws
their lives more socially together here
after.
“It never rains but it pours,” is au
old adage; aud so there is more than
one case ol conjugal disagreement.
Peter was up for proving “false hearted”
and acting very disorderly toward his
better half (so called). Like a name
sake of his of old, whose virtures are
thus recorded in heroic verse:
“Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had a wife and couldn’t keep her;
The reason why he couldn't keep hor,
Peter beat her, pumpkiu cater.”
And the Recorder fined him $3, and
costs for his disorderly conduct. Peter
made a statement, but it didn’t improve
his case much ; and the old colored man,
who was a witness in the ease, gave him
a very good lecture on the impropriety
of his conduct. Peter seems to have a
very sensible wife ; and be ought to
mend his ways and be a better Peter,
.-;0 he ought.
One 18th section case was continued,
and oue was dismissed.
And then the levee was concluded, so
far as the Court was concerned.

tion, it,
On motion, the Clerk proceeded to

moved that the bill be postponed until
the third Tuesday of December, which

Mr. Thomas Williams, of Pennsyl

Revenue, reported a bill to establish in
the Treasury Department, anew
Bureau, to have charge of the issui >

pointed by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, by and with the consent of the

that the consideration of it be post
poned until Thursday of next week,

Mr. Cobb, of Wisconsin, offered a
resolution providing that inasmuch as the
13th, 14th, loth, Olid 16th Sections of the
Act to provide for the payment of addi
tional bounties, etc., were passed in
great haste and without sufficient con
sideration, therefore, that the Commit
tee on Military Affairs be requested to
consider the propriety of so amending
said Act as to provide for the payment
of additional bounties to those soldiers
of the volunteer forces who served
faithfully in the war, and were honor
ably discharged, but who, under exist
ing laws, would not be entitled to more
than one hundred dollars bounty, and
that the loss of their certificates, if hon

the matter.

Every Radical measure will pass early

without any power.

No Bragging. —Mr. A. Hett says
when you meet with professional
Glaziers, you will find that most of

do more than another. Mr. Hett says
that he has put in at Mr. Goodrich’s

dred lights in ten hours, with a little
boy as an assistant. Every and any
one who has glazing to be done—and
done well and quickly—send for him at
once.
Any one doubting his ability to put
in as many lights in the time above

may wish. Give him a call at 117

trade is particularly depressed. Production
is gradually being curtailed, notwithstand
ing the comparatively low prices of raw
materials, and holders of goods manifest no
little anxiety to reduce stocks, though they
soe no way to accomplish so desired a re
sult. The embarrassments of Woollen
manufacturers are iueroaeod by the heavy
supplies of Foreign goods, which are being
forced off by auction at very reduced rates.
In fact, there are very few lines of imported
goods that do not share iu the depression es
the times, and many importers are under
stood to have countermanded orders for the
Spring trade, while others are said to bo
about re-shipping some of their 1 te impor
tations in bonds.
Cotton—Early in tho week thero was a
bettor fooling in tbe market, and moathold
ders put up their views one cent per lb,
which has tended to check operations, hut
since the market has been flattened by tho
unfavorable European accounts, and this
improvement has beon lost. Sales of 510
bales, closing at 33!a34c for Middling Up
land, and 35a36c for New Orleans.
Corn —The receipt of both now and old
have beon very moderate since our last issue.
There has boon very little demand, and
prices have ruled very irregularly. Sales
of 12,000 bushels old Yellow at $1.15, sl.lfi
$1,17 afloat,and sl. lfi to $1.20 in store; 3,000
bushels old and new mixed at $1.05al.08;
and 3,000 bushels new at 90ca$l —ocoording
to dryness. To-day the market was dull,
with sales of 4,200 bushels new Yellow at
90ca$l, and 800 bushels old do. at $1.15.
