Caught in the act.

--Officer Charles H. Moore, happening to be in the vicinity at the time, caught a youth, named Robert Fletcher, on Saturday morning, at an early hour, in the act of breaking into Mrs. Joseph Davis's millinery store, on Broad street. While having the youth in custody, on the way to the cage, he was offered a handsome bonus, irrespective of the plunder, to release the prisoner; but, of course, refused to subvert the ends of justice upon any such conditions.
