Guano Shipping. — The odoriferous
guano is beginning to come in great
quantities. This article is indispensa¬
ble to farmers in the cultivation of the
soil for its fertilizing properties. The
Steamship brought United States, from Boston",
in five thousand sacks.
Petty Theft. —A little colored boy
was carrying dinner to a man who is
engaged at the Central Railroad wharf,
and when near Cooper Shop lane in
Yamacrxw, a large full grown negro
the ran out pail from an alley-way, forcibly took
away from the boy and escaped
with it before any one could prevent
him. It was a mean action, and should
merit the severest punishment.
Recovering. —We are truly glad to
learn that the condition of Miss Paris
is considered somewhat better by her
physicians, and we trust that through
the interposition of Divine Providence,
and the skill of her physicians, that
she may recover and be restored to
those whose sympathies are now so
much exercised over her late unfor
tunate disaster,
Troublesome Darkies.— Last night
about half past nine o'clock, a colored
man ran rapidly down Bryan street
from Habersham, closely pursued by a
crowd of colored men yelling, vocifer¬
ously, “stop thief ! catch him I” The
dogs the in the vicinity between speedily took up
refrain, and the yelling of
the negroes and the barking of the
dogs, it, seemed as if Pandemonium was
let loose The theft was of the most
trifling nature.
House Moving. —The large two-and
a-half story frame house situated on
the corner of Liberty and Bull streets,
and owned by George W. Lamar, Esq.,
is undergoing an overhauling prepara¬
tory to removal. Workmen are now
engaged in preparing the necessary
timber as a support for the frame. The
car wheels and iron track are ready
and in a day or two the citizens in that
vicinity will see the spectacle of a
large house propelled through the
streets by the screw dummy familiarly
called “Old Jim.” Tne house will be
removed to the corner of New Hous r on
and Lincoln streets. We understand
that the proprietor contemplates erect¬
ing the a fine brick residence in place of
one now standing o there.
The Lost, Steamer “National.”—
We learn from Mr. Charles M. Tilton,
who has just arrived from Georgetown,
where he has been in the hopes of lear n
iug further particulars of the sad fate
of his brother, Robert W. Tilton, who
was Chief Engineer on the National,
lost about a week ago.
Mr. Tilton reports although the
steamer her wharf was inspected before she left
and was found to be in good
condition, and was allowed to carry
twelve passengers, the crew only con¬
sisted of eight persons, all of whom were
on her at the time she was reported as
lost. A new yawl boat, perfectly sea
worthy, was purchased for her before
she sailed, and some hopes are held out
on this slim thread of chance.
Some of the pilots state that when
^ e y i aa j. 8aw k er ve l oc iliy of the
wind was blowing in the neighborhood
0 f g j x py miles an hour, blowing w>-T of
the Gulf, and in all human probabilities
she was picked up bv some vessel.
Several barrels of turpentine were
washed up on the South Beach, and it is
more than possible if the crew were
j og j. their bodies by this time would
have shared a similiar fate. In such
an event it is more than probable that
her crew are saved, having been cared
for by some vessel seeing the condition
they were in.

—A special rrfeeting of the above named
society „ • mil | W be . v held to-night . -i, at , the ,i
Metropolitan j Hall. Thin society is
comparative!) bers, the in its infancy and num- ' j
in State about twelve hundred
members. The prospect for building |

very good, as accessions ait* 1 --ng
made to its numbers every day.
The prominent members of the Socie
to expect three mouth# an acquisition within the
next to swell the numbers
to three thousand. We hope their ex
pectations may be realized, as societies
of this nature are always productive
of beneficial results. This association
is, strictly speaking, neither a secret nor
a benevolent one. It pays no benefits
to sick members, but in lieu thereof,
helps the widows and orphans, cares
for and assists their fellow members in
procuriug employment, befriends and
assists them if needed.
Lotta. —Miss Lotta begins a three
nights engagement at the Theatre to
morrow evening, playing successively
in t^e characters of “Zip. >r Point
Ly ride Light,” “Musette, . ■ ‘ tie
Bright Eyes,” and “La Cigala. Her
name suggest the veiy incarnation of
mischievous mirth. There is but one
Lotta, and every pa* run of the drama
knows her. Since her last appearance
here, Lotta has gone forward achieving
fresh laurels, an..* • e comes now r> -wn
ed with new victories. She ] •sees
that genius which cannot be cuj ed,
and, while we have many imitations of
her style, she stands pre. eminent and
alone as a unique and fascinating come¬
dienne. Her vitality is a marvel
in itself and its piquant expression
is delight a never-failing all well-spring of
to wno come within
the influence of her witchery. Violat¬
ing all laws of dramatic art Lotta
says more with a shrug, a grimace,
a pirouette, than any other could say in
a five minutes speech.
It is owing to her finished histrionic
abilities and versatility of talent,
together with a keen and cultivated
sense of the humorous, the true, the j
beautiful and good in art, combined
with nation a of distinguishing qualities, fine trait intuitive of a combi¬
ceptions, and finer characteristics— per¬
the
such as natural charms—a true deli
mation of human nature and forgetful¬
ness of self—that the stage of the pre¬
sent day, thus (tries to her, in a great
measure its high standard of taste and
moral excellence to which it has at¬
tained.
HlBERNIANScjCIETY. Incompliance
with the call of e Secretary a meeting

the mating At aight. !
The j^^^^RUahon. order by the
president, Opr After
the usual preiumm^^^Unttess and the
discussion of matters ol importance to
the society, amendments to the by-laws
came up. The report of the committee to
whom was i efeiired the n atter relating
to the eligibility of members for hoiding
the presidency ot the society was read.
The amendments were of such a
nature as to make a “grandson of an
Irishman” properly eligible.
The report of the special committee
appointed by the society to procure a
plan for the erection of a railing and
monument, around and over the grave
of ex President John Kelley, in Laurel
Grove Cemetery, was read and adopted.
On motion of Major John Foley, the
committee was empowered and instruct¬
ed to have a neat railing arranged and
monument erected, as a testimonial of
the respect and honor with which they
hold the memory of the deceased.
Oapt. McMahon appointed the fol¬
lowing named gentlemen as Marshals
for St. Patrick’s Day: J. R. Fred, D. J.
Foley and John R. Dillon. Messrs.
Henry Biun, P. W. Meldrim and
Charles Collins were appointed a com¬
mittee to prepare resolutions in re¬
ference to deceased members of the
society.
This association is a strong one, and
embraces some of the most talented and
substantial men in the city.
