both in her house and ia the street, on Tuesday
night last. Scandal seems to have been the main
spring of this beautiful row, in which the characters
of all concerned came in for tongue scattering of
foul words. Mrs Walsh stated tn At she was sitting

knocked at her door. She invited Mrs Fl. to come

The accused parties declared that they were
falsely charged; that they were innocent as un-
born babes, and that Mrs Walsh was the only az
gressor: but having no witnesses to prove their
declarations, the Mayor held them each to bail for
their good behavior, and then discharged them with
an admonition against disturbing the public peace
with quarrels, bros and scandal in the str eets of

no more from them.

Throw WING SToNEs.-Two bad bows
Benjamin Mitchell and Charles Cook, both employ
ed as cart drivers by John Vest, were captured by
Officer Johnson, while engaged in a rock battle
and brought before the Mayor yesterday. One OF
the witnesses stated that Cook first threw a stone
at Mitchell, which was returned with interest and
the people 9Th and Marshall streets were
about having o! determination waeed be-
tween these two youthful desperadoes, when Off
Ger Johnson arrived and put an end to the fight.
The Mayor knew it would be useless to impose
fine upon the parties, as they were orphans, and
could not pay. And he would not, on this occasion
require them to give security for their future good
behavior, that would be virtually consigniug
them to the JAIL the very worst place that lads Of
their ages could be put. Unfortunately the CITY
had no workhouse for their reception, but he
hoped that before twelve months rolled around
it would have one, where such characters would be
punished for the violation of law without being CON
tamnated by the associations of older and more
hardened criminals. Richmond owes it to herself
to have a work house. and she should lose no time
in establishing il. On this occasion he would dis.
charge the two but with the positive assurance that
il brought before him again. they should be sent to
prison. Disagreeable as it was to him to have to
send boys to jail, he would npt and could not per-
init them to disturb the public peace and endanger
the lives and limbs of persons passing along the
streets by throwing stones, and then escape such
punishment as the law had prescribed for similar
offences account OF their age. Boys must be-
have themselves in the public streets as well as
men, or suffer the consequences

BAD SCRAPE Charles Fremont, q young
ser OF unenviable reputation, set to the crimi-
nal box of the Mayors Court yesterday, to answer
to the charge of assaulting and beating Maria Pow
ell in her own house 9Th street, near the basin
last Tuesday evening. The complainant stated
that Piemont came into her house and wanted TO
sell her vest, which she refused to buy He then
asked her to loan him fifty cents and take the vest
in pawn, which she agreed to do after much per
suasion. Charles gave her the vest which she
hung upon nail, and then gave him fifty cents
when he started off. He had been gone but a sbort
time when he returned and borrowed some bacon
which he carried to negro woman's house there
cooked and eat it. Charles returned the third time
and while the witness engaged, he took down
the vest and concealed it in his bosom The wit
ness discovering this took it from him. and he agan
left the house, but was absent but few minutes
when he returned with big stick and demanded
his vest She refused to give it to him. until he
paid her fifty cents. With this he gave her yio-
lent blow on the head, and another on the arm

Mr.. OLDs AT THE POSTAGE RATES AGAIN
MIR. Odds furnishes US again with an item
OF news. AS chairman of the committee on
Postofices, he does his best to keep himself
before the public. His last act was to la.
crease the postage on Cal.for MIA md Oregon
letters. His next prof ct is more hardy. On
Tuesday, Mr.. Odds, (dem.) of Ohio, from the
Committee on Postofices, reported a bill
repeating the section in the law of August,
1853, which makes a deduction of fifty per
cent. on prepaid postage on newspapers and
periodicals. He looked on the section as
bonus to the city press, and against the coun-
try press.
Why, if we must have increased taxes with
a surplus in the treasury of twenty millions,
il should come through the Postoffice De-
partment, it is hard to say. Mr.. Olds may
find the press in our days, not less potent
than the players in the times of Hamlet, and
that il were better to have bad epitaPh thar
their evil opinion. Let us hope, however
that Mr.. Olds' folles will be treated accord
ing to their merits, that the Senate Will reJec
his ten cent California imposition, and ina
bis attack upon the city press, which perhaP
the Administration has, upon the whole, NJ
reason to bless, will be frustrated by the bet
tsy sense Of his brother law makers,

0 An instance of the efficacy of short
prayer is related in connection with the his.
tory of Wyoming Valley. An American who
had strayed into the woods, beyond the pro-
lection of the tort, was surprised by body
of Indians who had been lying in ambush.
A savage yell and foot race resulted. In
his flight the American discovered an aged
man upon his knees praying for protection
against the savage foe, and in passing near
he cried out
"Old Teller, you had better make that id
short, if you want TO save your scalp"
The old man profited by the suggestion
by Immediately Pronouncing the amen; and
then jumping up, seized the extended hand
of his young friend by which means, they
both barely escaped the tomahawk.
