The "KNocKING SPIRITS" were out in full
force Friday night in the African Church. They
created vast deal of s'nose and confusion on
that occasion, but failed to knock anybody down,
we believe. They were out again Tuesday night,
however; and judging from the wo-begone APP
pearance of four victims before the Mayors
Court yesterday we incline to tho opinion that
they Jared rather roughly. The first of these
victims who was arraigned before Alderman
Evans gave his name as John Clark. He had
been knocked down on Broad street, and was
found by the watchmen in condition bordering
on insensibiIity. He stated that he was teams
ster; his wagon got stalled in a mud-hole lat
Rockets, we presume and in attempting to get
it out, called spirits (whiskey) his aid, aud got
knocked down before he was aware he was drunk.
He was fined 81 for tampering with the spirits.
and released. The next victim gave his name
Peter Peacha. He too had been tampering
with the spirits until reason forsook his noddle,
when he mistolk the street for his home and
curb-stone for his bed. Fined ST aud discharged.
The third victim was none other than Dan Mo-
ran, old fellow who has been tampering with
certain spirits in this city for many years. As
usual Dan got knocked down, and fell into tho
hands of those good Samarinns. the watchmen.
Alderman Evans told Dan he would put him on
his honour y not again to get drunk, and upon
this slender bail Dan got off The fourth victim
gave his name as James Muldron. He had also
lost his senses by attempting to devour certain
spirits, and was found in the streets in wolul
condition. Fined 81.
Thus it will be seen we have 10 our midst spirits
which play the widest pranks sometimes. Will
