"A WESTERN COURT scENE.-By Jerry
Nobs.-Judge B. of Missouri, was in
many respects. remarkable man. He stood
SIX feet two in his boots, and was as fond
OF trolic as the most ra,lling lad in the

a heavier "bag o meal" and play better

course, rendered him the most popular
Judge on the bench of his state. Yet he
never los, his dignity while on the bench.

THE FISHER.

THE FISHER.
The water rushed, the water rose,
The Fisher sat idly by:
Refreshing his heart as he peacefully gezed
On his hook that hos,ed nigh.
And as he listened. and as he gazed,
The foaming waves divide,
And dripping woman sudden sprang
From out the moving tide.
She sang 10 him. she spake 10 him,
"Oh, what are my brood TO thee,
That thou snaress them thus to painful death
From their quiet home the sea?
Ah, coudst thou know the blessed life
We lead amid the brine.
Thou wouldst step in with a joyful heart,
And make such pleasures thine.
"The blessed sun looks down, the moon
Refreshes herself in the sea;
And the breathing waves, reflect they not
Her calm face lovingly?
Can'st thou resist this deepest heaven.
This heaven Of glorious blue,
And the image OF thine own fair face
That's pleading with thee, too!
The waters rushed-the waters rose,
1t kissd his naked feet,
And his hear. beat with nameless longings
At that voice so soft and sweet.
She spake to him, she sang to him,
Such song has seldom been,
Half drew she him. half sank he in,
And never more was seen.

The CmCUs STREET AFFAIR-The examine
ton of James MulgrOve and Harry Brooks, accused
Of firing into the democratic torchlght procession,
on Saturday night, the 28th uIt, was taken up
yesterday before Recorder Baldwin. Three wit
nesses, Col. Walter Biscoe, Dr. Compton and James
Dunn, were examined for the State; after which, in
consequence Of the absence Of McClane, who en-
tered the complaint against the accused, the case
was continued to this morning. The testimony SO
far, shows the affair to have occurred as we stated
at the time, except that Mr.. Dunn-the only one of
the witnesses who was on the spot, or near enough
TO witness the affair in detail-tesfes that it was
not the man on the sidewalk, at whom the torch
was thrust, that fred the revolver Mr.. d. says,
that as the man thrust the torch, Mulgroye, who
was standing on the banquette, drew pistol which
he believes to be revolver, and pointed it in the
direction Of the procession. A man in the process
sion cried out, " What you going to do with that
pistol, you d-n son Of a bib" and was STOPPING,
apparently, to pick up stone, when Mulgrove
fired and continued firing. Mr.. Dunn did not
see Brooks at the time. Three persons, with whom
he has conversed since the affair, have told him
they were wounded, and one man he saw at the
time leaning against the fence, also said be was
wounded. The name of this last person he does not
know. but the names Of the other three were taken
down by order Of the Court, to be summoned as
witnesses. Nothing was elected during the exam
ination by which the persons who set fire to the
building could be identified
