If perseverance wider many difficulties
be a virtue, or certain indication of success,

'•=the COnsetrimation ef a Most substan ti al im

intervals, not unnecessarily, however, se
ri' xiorts interruption to tritvel, of which there
'livery considerable - in - that direction, via
the Birmingham bridge, also from the sub
urbs on the northern sifter the river, un
tit at length the work has reached such
- progress as to cause ho p e of an early com
pletion. Much, howe ver, remains to be
done to the street beyond the bridge, in
the way ofetraightening andlilling, present
efforts being directed mainiy towards corn
,
the
portion from the pointst which
street has been paved to the end of the
" bridge. The importance •of this thorough
fare as an outlet crfthe city, we are gratified
to observe, is properly appreciated by the
authorities. • It when the_ an

Considerable annoyanee hut been caused
to the workmen by a spring in the hill
side, from the cepicam and uninterrupted
flow of water. It has been suggested that
this spring-of pure vrater, for many years
appreciate d as a Inxiiry by inhabitants of
-the vieiriity,be preserved rather than de
stroyed, which we think might be done at
trifling expense, and in such mariner as not
to prove a nuirmiee,' the only objection we
. _have heard urged to the proposition. In
deed; from the situation of the ground, and
the strength of the spring, it seems to us
. Abel the authorities will be required. as a
matter of economy, in order, to prevent it
" becoming anuisance, to make an outlet for
,the water.. across • the street - to thwriver,
•
and in this view, for the comparatively
small expenditure which would be re
' quired, it would be an exercise of sound
discretion on the part of the authorities to
• so preserve the spring that it may continue
to be enjoyed as a luxury in the vicinity.

THE COURTS.
SOBBED 'A DRUNKEN MAN. ,
Joseph Perkins and Melvin A; Byletwpre
next arraigned„ou an indictment ch
• armng
them with robbing William Shields of fifty
six dollars. _The prosecutor stated that on,
the night of -,the,l4th .of May. . last, while
considerablyunder the influence of liquor,
he met two men, the defendants he be
lieved, on St. Clair street, and was taken
by them to the vicinity of Trimble's 'Varie
ties, on Penn street, and there robbed of
his money. He was first made aware of the
robbery by two policemen who had arrested
the defends.nts. Mr. McMullen, constable
. of the Fourth ward, testified he assisted in
i arresting the defendants; almit twoti'clock
-on the morning of the 15th of May; they
represented they had taken charge of a
drunken man (the ssecutetY ce
and - plad
him in an:old bmiti to secure him. from
'arrest bythe polleeV d-theytlid not know
the man; In the possession of - Per
:altos, one 'of the defendants, welt' tound
fifty-six dollars in a handkerchief,
eerrespending with a descriptiowniven
bytthe prosecutor. Officer O'Donnell testi
to having noticed the defendants, d in
eoriaparry with a drunken man, disappear in
an alley near Trimble'm preSently the de
fendants returned to the street, looked
around suspiciously, and then went to an
oyster saloon in the neighborhood. The
efileer went into the alley, found the proge-'
cutor lying down, his pockets presenting
the appearance of having been. hastily
"one through,'.' and mused him tp. Soon
after the defendants were arrested at a sa-
loon where they had ordered oyster% taken
to the Mayor's office,, searched, and money
corresponding to the `description given by
the.prosecutor found in the possession Of
Perkins, wrapped in a handkerchief, which
I also belonged to the prosecutor.
i • The defense &ad.-consisted -tn an effort
to prove the good character of the accused.
tThe 'evidence, however, was sufficiently
conclusive to establish guilt, and the jury
found a verdict accordingly; the eloquent
portrayal by Mr. Cochran (who appeared
for Perkins) of the possibility of the fact
hereafter appearing that his client wis in-,
nocent,, and that money honestly ftihed
and found in his possession had been the
means of consigning him to a dungeon,
failing of its intended effect. i The fashion
still prevails, notwithstandingfrequent and
pointed rebukes from the Court, of counsel
endeavoring to frighten jurors into finding
verclictsof acquittal in the plainest cases of
guilt by such demonstrations. To the
credit of jurors it must be said they almost
invariably fail of effect; but we do think
that those members of the bar who so die
play their talent should have a higher re
gard or estimation of the intelligence of
jurors, and that they should not be allowed
to insult them by appeals to their conscience
against the plairest common sense.
Perkins was sentenced to undergo three
Eears imprisonment in the Penitentiary.
yler, who had been "recommended to
mercy," was sentenced to one year's im
prieonment--the Court being ofthe opinion,
not that under the law he was less guilty
than his companion, but that in conse
quence of his youth, and in view of some
evidence•of his previous good character,
leniency would result beneficially in his
case.... ,
AN OFFENSE REPEATED
William Patterson, a young man of per
haps twenty-five years of age, was arraign
ed on an indictment charging him with for
nication and bastardy. The complainant
was Elizabeth Henry, twenty years of age,
residing with her mother in Bedford street,
this city. Miss Henry testified that the
child, a female, was begotten by the defen
dant in July, lEd7, and born on the:.l2d of
April, 1868, and that she previously had a.
child, of which the defendant was also the
father. She was searchingly cross-exam
ined as to her associations with young
men, but protested that defendant was the
only one with whom she had been inti
mate. The mother of the prosecutrix testi
fied she bad forbidden the defendant to come
in her house, end that he was not in the
house to her knowledge during July last,
although she had frequently seen him with
her daughter outside. The case was sub
mitted without argument, and the jury re
turned a verdict of ,guilty. The defendant
was sentenced to pay a fire of ten 'dollars
to the Guardians of the Poor, the sum of
twentv-five dollars to the prosecutrix, and
one dollar and a- quarter per week for five
years for the support of the child.'
A BEAVY LARCENY.

hartßuck, in. November last., Mr., Buck
testified that he "received a check for that
amount of money from a Building Associa
tion, that he drew the Money on the check,
and subsequently went to a car on , the
Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Rail
