A stare case, which bus attracted come inter t, has occurred in the city within u few Jaya et. An old in.., Daniel Foeuhenner, alcading einlaa of n Methodiq Episcopal Church, has id claim to a colored boy. About twenty years of age, named William Moore. alias Kellar, who has been acting as free for a period of sixteen years. Fossbenner owned a woman named Eliza beth illoore, to whom he gave the balance of her term of servitude (Melt years) for a sum of $lOO, when paid. The woman had a sun, whom she took away, with her, and it is allcdged that that child died in infancy, and that the present boy claimed by Nossbenner is a child she adopted shortly 'after her owu son's death. A mark on this boy to alledged to be similar to the one on the boy she took away with her, and on that alone he is claimed. The woman nut having paid the $lOO stipulated fur in the agreement -between herself and Fossbenner, he now claims The arrungiment just effected by the Balti more and:l/hie Bail Road Company, fur the gale of the whole amount of sterling bonds to Itlessrs. Brown, Brothers, Sf. Co., necessary for the completion of the road to the Olio, has been a source of great gratification to our citizens. If Pittsburgh could only get a branch outdo to tap this road at the best point, it would he of incal culable benefit to her merchants, as well as our own. Is there uetcapital andenterprise enough to more in this matter quite speedily . ? The Hon. Rerenly Johnson. who was on the tenuier "Ohio," on her recent trip from lin vanun to New York, when she put-into Norfolk in distress, say. that St. Schenck, her Comman der, told him privately, before they had gut the 'nab buckets' to work to bail her out, iliac if the outer continued Ao increase in the hold for three hour, more. at the same rate, ohe would go docent Rather a trying time tlint for the tierces. By the statistical reports of the past year's commerce of Baltimore. it is shown that her trade has largealy increased within the _twelve mouths. Our city is certainly increasing in an unprecedented manner, in population, com merce, enterprise and wealth. In American cotton goods there is not much doing yet—active preparations are being made, 'however. for the spring trade, and our merchants are anticipating a large increase of sales.
