of the Baltimore bar, who resides with Mr.,
Ezekiel Johnson, in Bond, near Pratt street,
had instituted in behalf of the steward of the
barque "MaIgaret Hugg,"a libel, to obtain
| wages alleged to be due from this vessel. On
the above evening he was sent for by Capt.
! Hugg, one of the owners ofthe vessel TO call
and see him, and accordingly about o'clock
proceeded to Capt. Hugg's residence, on the
east side of Broadway, near Pratt street. After
an interview with Capt. H. he left the house,
and was proceeding towards his home, when in
| Broadway, near the middle of the street he was
seized by two powerful men, and while one
held him, the other, knocking his hat off, de-
hberately poured bucket full of tar on the top
of his head, filling his hair, clothing and person.
1t is supposed that it was intended TO fill the tar
with feathers, but his cries brought assistance
before the rufiians had accomplished their cow
ardly purpose. He was taken to the Office of
DR.. Busk, neal by, who with the greatest labor
succeeded in cleaning his hair and person ofthe
tar, but his suit of clothing was completely ru-
ined. The parties Immediately fled, and being
unknown, will probably elude detection. What
could have been their object, or what was the
cause of offence is in perfect mystery, which
time alone will unraYel. 1t certainly was u
high outrage, and the perpetrators who
ever they may be, should be punished with the
utmost rigor ofthe law.


Inquest Coroner Spencer on Saturday held
an inquest over the body Of a German, about
80 years of age, found floating in the Back Ba-
sin. From papers Of naturalization, &c found
in his pockets, his name is supposed to be John
l.. Piper and that he was resident of the
country. His face and head was much bruised
and cut, leaving a strong supposition that his
death was caused by foul play. The jury not
being satisfied that his death was caused by
drowning, returned verdict of "death from


cause unknown"


Goods Indenifed We noticed sometime
since, the fact of two valuable carpets having
been recovered among other articles, from the
Gipsey burglars, by officers Hays and Snyder.
On Saturday the carpets were identified, by
Mr., Henry Tiffany, of the firm of Tiffany,
Ward s. Co as his property, stolen from his
dwelling out west Madison street. Mrs. Tiff.
fany had seen the notice IN our paper of the
carpets having been recovered, but did not ina
CINE they belonged to her, until few days
since, when she went into a store room to OBJ
tain them, to place upon the floors for the
winter, when she found them missing. A
large, valuable musical box was also identified
by Mrs. Tiffany, as her property, stolen about
the same time. The box was nlad, and CO.
vered with large number of gold and silver
ornaments, all Of which had been taken off by
the thieves.
