Shop-Lifting. --On Saturday, three negro men went into A. T. Peebles's watch and jewelry establishment, on Fourteenth street, near the Exchange, and pretended to desire to purchase a watch. Mr. Peebles showed them several watches, which they handled considerably, and then declined to purchase, and left the shop. Soon after their departure, Mr. Peebles discovered that they had taken one of his watches, and made pursuit, but did not succeed in coming up with them. Yesterday, however, he had a negro arrested, who, he says, is one of the parties who were in his shop when the watch was stolen. This negro is Soloman, slave of Mrs. Ro. Nelson. If Soloman is guilty, he has been, so far, too wise to admit it, but declares he knows nothing about the watch.
