Black Rowdies. A trial came off on la3t Saturday, before Squire Sullivan, that excited considerable interest among the gentlemen of color.. It appears that Geo. Williams, and others, went to the house of a-colored widow named Cintha George, and on being refused admittance, . commenced throwing stones, breaking the house and windows. These facts were fully sustained on trial, and it was further proved that George went into a grocery, kept by a gentleman of color, on Washington street, (a bad place, by the by, and should be closed,) and turned his coat inside out before he started. For all these offences he was bound over to'give $250 bail, on failure of . which he went to jail, there to remain until the next court. During the argument the prosecuting attorney said that it was high time to put a stop to these kind of proceedings, and that he would prosecute them to the full extent of the law. This is right, and we' hope he will do it, both in black and white we should have a little more order after night than we have had lately. , , Before Squire Sullivan, on the 6th. Thomas Freeman, colored,' was fined $3 and cost, for pinching a boy, and otherwise creating a general disturbance in the colored Baptist Church. William Bird was fined $3 and costs for courting in the same church. John Brown, Trustee, swore that Bill left his seat among the men and sat beside de lady, an he was sparkin her and scratchen in her hand. John Freeman, Deacon, swore dat he was rarein back in his seat, &c. Bill is a great Bird among the g'hals. Valentine Eay. Next Thursday is Valentine day let all be prepared for it. The right way to send them Is through the P. O., therefore, it will be the duty of every person to visit P. 0., at least once on that day. Don't forget itWe wonder what has become of our " unknown lover" the one that commenced the series of loving epistles to our humble selves on last Valentines day. Is she still " single," or is she " double." Who can tell? . ! We see that Davis & Ray have a fine lot of Valentines, with pictures, and posies, and little cupids, &c, suitable for the occassion. Look at them. The Yellow Fever is raging with great violence in this community at this time -should not be surprised if 50 young men were taken off with it in the , spring. WTe hear of a great many making preparations for a journey to that bourne from whence few will return. What an interesting time the surviors will have after they have gone we have already heard of several old bachelors who begin to think " there is a good time coming." Vho was it? Some person or persons entered the State House last Friday nigty, for the purpose, it is supposed, of Gambling. . In doing so they broke a pane of glass in one of the windows, and the person that broke the glass must have ,cut his hand badly, as there is a great deal of blood on the floor. The question now is, whose hand is cut ? Can any body tell ? " The " Snort House," as the Visitor calls the doggery on Washington near Delaware street, has been Considered a nuisance and closed.

- The Right Kind of Pledge Dow Jr., the sermonizer, was asked by a tempting young " Daughter of Temperance," to sign the pledge, to which he replied by the following impromptu lines. .."I'll sign the pledge, ay, seal It too, - ..Though not in sparkling wine ; And yet I'll not such bliss forego, . ' ... Without some pledge of thine. ;; Then pledge me in one hearty kiss, ,,,, . You'll not withhold your cheek, . . . And I'll resign all other bliss, ... Nor other nectar seek." , We are willing to sign the pledge every day in the week," and Sunday too, on such conditions. Will any "Daughter" give us a chance? We received a note through the Post office from a young lady," with a request to publish certain ladies therein named as liars, and Wolves in Sheep's clothing. If the lady is willing to have the note published as an advertisement, with her name attached, and pay for it, we will publish it, but on no other conditions. We are not willing to risk four suits for slander, in a matter we know nothing of,' to gratify the lady however true the charges may be. v. . . ..' ';. v Look out for the. locomotive.

Those intending to go to California had better not make their arrangements complete for a while yet, as there will no doubt be many from a distance to join them.

February 4, 1849. y At a meeting of said Lodge the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. . Whereas, Our venerable brother, Basil Brown, has been removed by death from among us ; and, Whereas, upon occasions of such a character a manly sorrow is not incompatible with an hum: . ble submission to the Divine Decree, which has appointed unto all men once to die, therefore be it Resolved, That we lament the decease of our aged Brother, not only because we thus lose a worthy member of our fraternity, but also because he was a kind neighbor, a firm friend, a good citizen, and a man of just intentions and of benevolent feelings. Resolved, That the -excellent wife of our deceased Brother, who, for a very long series of years, shared in his joys and participated in his sorrows, and was ever faithful and true to him, in prosperity and adversity, is doubly entitled to our sympathy and support, being sick a? well as sorely bereaved; and while we invoke Almighty God to give her strength and consolation in her deep affliction,' we
