TREMENDOUS STREET-FIGHT The poet OF the
Brooklyn idrertser inspired by the Hing character
of the scene thus describes in Honcrc heroica
battle between individuals often in the streets
of that great City as well in its little suburb on this
side of the water:
The modest morn with bushes pav'd the way
To usher in the glorious god OF day
The bcaueous flowers with copious dews were wet,
And all spike Joyous peacc-when. 10 there met
Two porkers, grunting thunder, while their backs
Sweid high with furious feeling, and the tracks
Oi each proud champion bent toward the foe
Each hostile movement dignited and slow
They close at length, in battle dark and fierce,
And one pull'd tother by his abby
And t'other pulls the other by the tail,
so that be uiters forth piercing wall.
Now tercer grows the tight and all around
The froth and brises deck the trembling ground,
Till, thinking wisely fighting no fun.
One gave grunt and shook his tai! and run

appears that creditors Of Mr.. Rowley in Boston,
suspec,ing his story Of the robbery caused him to De
arrested on his going that City and thrown into prison.
This, together with the loss Of his money, preyed
upon him that his gave way beneath the attack
Truly his fate has been hard one.
