This morning, woman, was brought before
Justice Smith, at his Office, on Eighth street,
as vagrant. For one Of the fair sex, she was
outrageously foul in her expressions. While
the justice was making out a commitment to
the work house, she picked up an ink stand
and was in the act Of throwing it at his head,
when her arm was caught by officer Culver
we'll, and she was thus prevented from spelling
the portrait Of one Of the best looking and best

DEATH OF A MIsEa-StreRge Biography
The New Orleans Commercial Times records
the death of j. D. Rosenda, late Sergeant of
The night watch of the Cd Municipality, and
adds
Rosenda was an Italian by birth, and gradu-
ated in his country as a physician. He arriv-
ed in Louisiana III 1919 or 20, with Dr. For
mento, an eminent practitioner here, who was
his felow-collegian, Rosenda obtained lc-
ence from the Medical Society, but never prac-
Used his profession. Forced by the pressure of
INDECENT circumstances, he entered the police
force as a simple Waterman, and for twenty-sx
years he was uninterruptedy employed in 1T,
rising at length to the rank Of sergeant Of
penurious habits, and unsocial in his nature,
-r.I -,
city, He resided in a humble tenament which
ne owned in the Second Municipality, subsist-
ing on the simplest diet, and looking forward
TO no other pleasure than accommodating money.
Little by little, he amassed rather large fortune
for one in his humble VOCATION leaving at his
death not less than S25 900 to 10000. In the
performance of his duty he was scrupulously
exact, as we learn from Capt. Winter, Chief of
the Police, Second Municipality, with whom
ne had served nine years.
Taciturn by fixed habit, he never discoursed
with any one, except forced by the calls of his
office; relieved from which he fastened away to
his abode, the abiding place of melancholy Sc
clusion. From DR.. Formento he had been
alenated for some years, but few days ago he
was reconcied to him, contcssing that the es-
arrangement was entirely owing to himself
Rosenda left Sl2,0 900 in money, and some va
liable real estate, two-thrds of which he be-
Gueathed to his old and steadfast friend, DR.. F.,
and the remainder to a sister in Italy, from
whom he had not heard for many long years.
In case of her death, DR.. F. is to become his
sole residuary legatee. A negress and three
children, belonging to him, have been manu-
mitted, according to the terms his will.
1t has been stated that the cause Of his so
assiduously stunning socety-hs apparent
msanlhropy-was a cross IN lore, In early
youth.
OREGON Corn. The editor of the Port To-
bacco Times has been shown by Mr.. Joseph
Young, residing near that village, an ear of
corn grown on his farm, which had oil it one
thousand or more grains; it was of the Oregon
species. The seed was procured short time
since by gentleman of that county from the
Patent office, at Washington, q few grains o
which were given to Mr.. Young by the gentle
man for trial. The ear had not fully matured
when it was taken from the stalk, some of the
grains about the base were filled out, but most
of the others were shIiyelled, and faint idea
could be formed what the yield from the ear,
had it fully matured, would have been. It.
bears from two to three ears on a stalk.
