Lar and Gospel. A gentleman who glories in
being a disciple of Esculapius found himself in
what is vulgarly called ga tight place." few
days ago. lie went into a book store on Bal
timorc st. and offered for sale Law book,
which he stated he had no use for, and was anxi-
Gus to dispose Of it, as it was greatly in his way.

small elegantly bound Bibles which he had sto-

DiaCpWaJIs Conduct We have had occa-
sion more than once to speak Of the practice OF
boys throwing stones atthe OmnibuSscs as they
pass through FCll's Point, and are sorry to see
instead of an abatement Of the practice, that it
is actually on the increase. Yesterday stone
was thrown from Il crowd of boys who had as
sembled near the public school, ct the corner Of
Bank and Market SITS, which struck the lad
who attends the door, the stone bounced from
his back with great force against window of
the Omnibus, breaking it in pieces. This is
daily practice, and we hope the proper autho-
rites will see to il at once.
Riot at the Fire, As the fremen were about
to leave the fire on Tuesday night, disgrace
tul row occurred between a party of Cum
balls and "Cock Robins" Pistols were fired,
stones thrown, bludgeons used, and in fact all
weapons that are generally used in row be-
tween such parties. A young man named
John Dixson was arrested by police officer Ro-
berts and carried to the Middle District watch
house, where he was kept all night. 1t is great
ly to be regretted that some of the leaders of
these desperate gangs Of young rowdies cannot
be brought to justice.

the violation of which, one Michael Moon was
fined 81 and costs, yesterday, by Walton Gray,
ESQ. Now be it understood that we do not
mean to call Mr.. Moon goat, but that he vio-
lated the ordinance in letting his goat run at
large; nevertheless, we are not sufficiently ia
millar with the ordinance to say whether or
not its provisions extend to that class designat-
ed by recent photographers ''goatees." "Do
