ST. PATRIcK's Day was celebrated 10 this city
Thursday evening. by number Of Irish gentle-
men, with great spirit and enthusiasm. About
nine o'clock, the company, numbering about fifty
gentlemen, assembled at Odd Fellows Hall, and
shortly afterwards sat down to an excellent ban
quot prep aed by Mr.. P. G. Kmbrough, of the
Pear Street House. VIM r. Watson, ESQ., as
sisted BY M. Seagers, Esq, presided at of che
tables, aud M. Downey, Esq, at the other. The
President, (Wm. F. Watson, Esq.,) rose, after
the cloth had been removed and after stating that
the occasion was one fraught with great interest
to the heart OF every true lrishman, proposed the
memory of lreland's tutelar saint, st. Pntrick-
This sentiment met with a hearty response from
| all present. During the evening. spirited
| speeches were made by Messrs los. Mayo, Au-
gust Douglas (ofthe State Senate) and others
| many fine songs were sung with much effect
Moores melodies being, they always ought to
be, the tavorites--and number of patriotic and
witty sentiments were proposed and drank with
great enthusiasm Taken altogether it
OF the most delightful occasions imaginable. Wit,
| sentiment and good feeling reigned supreme.
Though the weather without was stormy and in-
hospitable, those present were amply compen-
| stated by the hospitality and good cheer which
atounded within the hall. The company re-
manned together until long after the advent of
the small hours. and seemed indisposed to sepa-
rate until morning. Before adjourning it seemed

| day, and we feel satisfied that heneeforth beit-
ting honours will be paid the memory of Ireland's
tutear saint in Richmond.
BAD EFFECTS FROM DRINKlNG CIDER.-A
| white man named John English feeling uncom-
monty thirsty Thursday evening, stepped Into tho
| store of j. Moscow, on Second street, near the
Shockee Hill Burying Ground, and called for
| glass OF cider That favorite beverage was pro-
| duced with aacrity, and thereafter quenchA
| cd the thirst of Mr. English. Putting his hand
into one of his pockets, Mr.. <. cautiously drew
| forth note of tho denomination of 81, and tr-
umphantly rendered it in payment for the cider.
The money drawer ransacked to make
change, and the amount due handed over TO the
lover of cider. After carefully counting it over,
English came to the conclusion that the amount
| properly due had not been rendered, and so ex-
pressed himself Some words ensued between
| the cider drinker one side and Mescoe and
wife on the other, when Mrs. Mescoe stepped
up to English and slapped his face; whereupon
that individual shouted murder and aroused
| the watchmen, who came running ia, and in the
excitement of the moment arrested the lover of
cider and marched off with him to the station
house, where he spent the night. Yesterday
he appeared before the netting Mayor, and upon
| the true state of the case being made known,
that official ordered the officers to discharge Mr..
| English from custody. See gentle reader, what
bad effects followed drinking one glass of cider;
reflect upon the subject maturey, and then go
| and unite with the ''Sons."

| white man, enormously sent before the Hastings
Court upon the charge of receiving piece Of

feud broke out between Mrs. Elizabeth Ch ad-
wick and Mrs. Matilda McGiade, couple of

fair dame with an iron poker, and held to bail
to keep the peace, by the Mayor.
