Burglary.
--A negro fellow named Peter, slave to John Blackwell, was arrested and caged yesterday evening, on the charge of breaking into the carpenter shop of Mr. J. W. Atkinson.
The warrant did not state what Peter did after he broke in, though our knowledge of human instinct leads us to believe he found something lying round loose and laid violent hands on it. If he did, he will be a blue Peter this morning, after hearing the judgement of his Honor in the premises.
