OUTRAGE BY THE FIaHT1se MEk.--The gang
of fighting men and rowdies who attended the
prize-fght between Sullivan and Morrissey COM
mitted gross outrage at Boston Corners. 1t
appears the express train does not stop there,
and because the conductor refused to land them
a number attacked brakeman, threw him down
and held him, while others detached the loco
motive and tender from tie train The train
was under great headway at the time, and the
engineer did not discover the loss antil away
from the train. The greatest excitement exist
ed among the trareles passengers, who were
fearful that the '"fghters mightdo them some
personal injury. They all got of, however, and
went to the spot selected for the sickening exhi
bition; but the passengers going West failed to-
make the necessary connections, and we're de-
tained whole day.

recently exported himself from London to
this comparatively free country, was caught
it appears in the practice Of his peculiar art,
at Stamford, Conn, one day last week,
during the Fair ofthe Agriculture Society
of Fairfield What made it worse for him,
was the fact that Mr.. P. T. Barnum was the
President of the Fairfield Society and imme-
diately placed the rogue as curiosity, IN
the Show Room, properly ticketed and
announced. Over one hundred dollars worth
of extra tickets of admission to the Fair
were sold that day in consequence. After
which Mr.. Hammond. under the name OF
Seymour, was sent by the Superior Court, at
Danbury: to serve out a three years appren-
ticeship in the State Prison.

PURSUIT OF SEAT UNDER DIFFICULTIES
AT Ole Bulls concert, we are informed
that middle aged lady-we beg her PARDON
we should rather say. lady Of no particular
in me early and look good seat They were
soon driven from it by its ticket owners, so
they vacated and occupied another. From
this they were likewise driven. as they were
from a third. There were no white-rosetted
ushers, as were promised in the programme,
and the audience began to be anxious, when
the lady very coolIy ascended the stage,
drew three chairs over the foo1.!ights, and
AT this summary mode of settling the
doubtful proprie,orship of seats, the audience
gave the lady three cheers, and she very
composedy arose and acknowledged the
compliment with a courtesey. She de-
serves to be the next president of the
woman's rights convention.

OTHELLo AND THE CRITlCs.-Strange, how
doctors will differ about every thing. Cri-
tics have taken widely different, sometimes
opposite conceptions Of almost all the prin-
cipal characters of Shakespeare. There is
Othello, for example. Coleridge says, he
was loo exalted and noble to be jealous.
He killed himself and Desdemona from
chagrin, merely that SO fair an outside
promise had grievously disappointed him.
His confidence in the purity and nobility OF
human nature being thus gone, he wished
not to remain behind himself
But Herman Barmeister, Professor OF
Zoology in the University Of Halle. whose
interesting work on the Black Man, trans
lated by Dr.. Frieslander, Of Berlin, is in the
course of publication in the New York
Evening Post, is Of very different opinion.
From the licentious character which he
ascribes to the single, not to the married
negro woman, a lover, says he, knows that
the only way to secure exclusive possession
of his adored is to get rid Of all his rivals,
and If his love rises to the full height OF the
negro passion, he either murders them or
his mistress.
The Doctor therefore asserts, that Othello
is, in this respect, the most perfect express
sion of the African character, jealous, cfedu-
lous and easily enraged, and becomes a
pure negro as soon as the devilish Iago has
dropped the poison into his soul. The mas
ter-hand of Shakespeare has described it SO
wonderfully true, that need say no more
of the jealousy of the African"
The German is, We think, more than hall
right.

THE CREEK INDlANs.-Among its "Wash-

The CREEK INDlANs-Among its "Wash-
ington gossip" the Star gives the following.
1t may possibly be only gossip:
It seems that under the laws of Congress,
it becomes the duty of the Marshal of the
Western District of Arkansas to arrest per-
sons who have introduced spirituous liquors
into the Indian country. This officer having
recently so arrested Indians who had been
punished under the Indian law for the
offence in the same case, the Indian authori.
ties are very indignant and there is fear Of
armed collision growing out of the affair.
The Secretary Of the Interior is said to have
directed the Marshal to make no more ar.
rests of Indians for this offence, who have
been held amenable under the Indian law,
until he the Secretary shall have received
full information to enable him to give fur
ther instructions on the subject.

the editor of which is strong Democrat.
Are the members of the last Legislature
fattered!
"a brief month has now to elapse when
the people have again to walk up to the polls
and vote. Many important State offices have
then to be replenished 1t is to be hoped
that the people will pause for moment and
glance back at the worthless list OF State
functionaries that have been elected on
grogshop popularity, for number OF years
past and then shut their eyes to the ravings
Of demagogues about party, and vote for
the man best qualified by industry, integrity,
temperance and talent. A similar assem-
blage Of mountebanks in the Sandwich
Islands-to our last Legislature-would dis
grace the semi-barbarians of the seas; there
fore we callthe people TO the rescue-look to
your interests before the principal is gone.
Look to the condition Of the State Treasury
look to the we'll laid schemes ofspeculators, TO
grind you to the earth by taxation; that under
the guise of improvement and progress, is os-
tensibly to build up ruinous monopolies-look
to the condition of your public school system !;
and see every avenue to true progress closed
up, by worthless representatives, that are
deaf to every call except that of the paying
