Middleton A Beall was entered by burglars, and a small amount of money stolen. They effected an entrance by forcing the basement door with a butcher's clcaver, and climbed into the store through a trap door This was .1 bold undertaking. The store is situated on Pennsylvania avenue, immediately opposite the National Hotel, and the robbers selected an hour of the night when crowds of persons are moving about in that vicinity. Thecleaver used to force the door was left in the store, and had not been identified this morning. About 2 o'clock the store of Mr. Stewart, corner of Twelfth and H streets, was entered, but the robbers were frightened off by a m?n who was sleeping in an adjoining room. At this plaee they forced a padlock on the out side and a .'tore lock on the inside of the door. They overhauled the desk and money drawer, but obtained nothing for their pains National Theatre.?Mr. Wallack will ap pear to-night for the third and last time in his new historical drama of " The Iron Mask."

It was charged that Mr liodgkin struck Mr Butts on the head with a weapon known as a " billy." The de fence showed that Butts had drawn his hand over Hodgkin:s face several times, and had been told by Hodgkin if he repeated the act be wculd " knock him in the head." Justice Smith dismissed the case on tho ground thac Butts had committed the first assault. False Alarms.?Two alarms of fire were given last night, both false, and given proba bly to excite a collision between fire compa nies. Two attempts were made to get up riots, one in the First Ward the other in the Second The promptness of the guards and police officers prevented any serious conse quences.
