with 4 party consisting Of Moody, Steer,

went off and obtained the assistance of several
other watchmen, and returned for the purpose
ofstopping the noise. Onion, who was at that
1 time ahead Of the other watchmen, stepped up
TO the party and again requested them to be
quiet or they would be compelled to take the
party to the watch house. One of the party
cursed him and seized him by the collar, and at

the head with ''cot," which felled him Oh
the pavement. He was also very badly beat
on, and carried home insensible, in which state
he remained for several days, his life being
despaired of. We gave full account of this

Court House from the Law Buildings, at flu
riouS rate. At the corner Of Davis street, the
horse ran on the pavement, striking his head
and breast against tree, knocking him down,
and seriously wounding him. Two small chill
dren who were in the street were struck by the
horse and knocked down,-one escaped unln-
jured, the other had his face cut little, but
not to seriously iniure him. A small black boy
