PROPER CONDUCT OF A CITIzEN.-Yesterday
forenoon, while many persons were passing to and
fro on st. Charles street. young fellow on horse
back, who, from his appearance, seemed to have
learned better how to stand before whiskey coun-
ter than to sit on a horse, kicked up few monkey
shines by drawing in his horses reins irritating
the proud animal and causing it to plunge and
caracoe over considerable sweep of the street.
The ignorant bockhead on horsebaat was induced.
after a while, to come down" to save himself the
necessity of more precptate intimacy with the
causeway. But, aha. large crowd had assem-
bled to witness the success of the equestrian and
there was glory to be won and where in the wide
world was ever there whiskey that did not nourisb
the brig hest aspirations for glory. Mount he must
again, while two little careless fsticuff. Sat him
again, Ginger" boys, who would just as soon have
seen an accident not held the horse by the mouth
until it's master might be seated and stirrupped
This much, however, he did not quite able to
accomplish and while he making the effort
the nobler animal of the two twice, tried
to bound away with his rider, but the boys held
him fast. 1t was evident that the moment the
boys should quit their hold of the BIT, not only he
life of the drunken rider, but the lives of passing
citizens would be in danger. With this feeling,
IA respectable citizen, who had witnessed part of
the outrageous scene hurried from the pavement
caught the fellow who reclining on the horses
neck by the neck of his Shirt and took the horse
away from him. This was conduct highly praise
worthy.

night last week, either prompted by valorous i'm
pulse or instigaed by the very devil, he undertook
to appropriate to himself one more pairs that
calm, sober, second thought" if it had been an
honest one, would have prompted him to leave in
the possession of the steamer St, Louis. Thomas

tionable fame, and women whose fame is unques-

omened countenances which bore traces of recent
rays and men were there whose faces could not be
so much distigured and dscoored as to prevent
them being recognized as old customers-old often
ders. Sad and mournful were the tales told-oi
assaults and batteries too formidable to be endured
and il would have been difficult to strike a
balance, and ascertain whether the greater num-
Der of complaints were against the women or the
men, All these cases of Saturday may be elassed
among the nWtSGnoeS of the Court, without going

The AMERICAN DEER BEATEN. The late
great hurdle at Buffalo came off on the Trot-
ting Course. The was for purse of seventy
hive dollars the extent of the run five miles, having
SIX hurdles three feet high to the mile, or thirty
leaps throughout, The competitors consisted of
jackson, the American Deer, Armstrong, great
runner, the celebrated Canada and six Indians, of
whom the chief Smith, of the Tonawanda
tribe. The start was fair says the Republic, and
jackson was the pet, but Smith and Armstrong
soon had the matter to themselves, Jackson break
ing down in the third mile Never was there
more intensely exciting contest than that between
Smith and Armstrong. They kept together, and
took their leaps frequently at the time. Smith,
however, came in winner, having executed his
work in twenty-seven minutes and thirty-seven
seconds.

AN UNFORTUNATE VEssEL.-About avyear ago
small, but very neat and substantial looking
ocean steamer called the Chesapeake, left this
port for San Francisco, her confident in the
expectation that she would be of the first steam
propelled vessels to arrive out and of course they
hoped for golden return. A year has now gone
by and the Chesapeake has not reached her desti-
nation. AT the last accounts from her, March LIST,
she had managed, in most miserable plight, to
get into small port on the Pacific, called San
Rosario, about 600 miles south OF San Francisco.
All her spars, upper works water barrels etc. had
been burned to keep up steam enough to enter that
port. Entirely out Of provisions and fresh water,
her passengers, after enduring much suffering, had
been obliged to leave their vessel, and struggle
along as best they could, by land to the gold
regions.

PoNTcHARTRArN RAIL ROAD BY a new reg.
ulat'on on III road, the police officers stationed at
Miineburg are charged passage from the main posi-
10 that station. One Of the consequences of this
exclusion of the police from standing privilege, is
that il IS now impossible 10 get officer 10 serve
at Milneburg, and that station is already without
police. Certainly the directors of this road have
a right to demand transportation fare f,r police
officers and their criminals as well as others but
the directors Of the road, it u.s. Dug to
have an understanding with the municipalities
touching that expense. In any event, police Of
fcer ought not to resign his place on account Of
any such temporary difficulty, surely there is no
sane man who would expect such charges TO come
ont of his scanty pay. Ii has been already sug.
gested to the OTteanidn, indeed, that this not I'M
important temporary difficulty may have been the
result Of an oversight the part of the directors
of the road, and that, on proper representation
the restriction would be taken off at once II this
view should not be taken by the directors, there is
one fact more to be stated. 1t is very important
that Milneburg have an efficient police
