liz THE wRoSa SHoP.-Fivc spruce young men
Of this city being on sort Of spree last night,
took IL into their heads to visit English Hill, and
minge in the festive dance at one Of the Irish
dwellings there, where dances are frequently held
Full of life and hope, with all the fire Of youth,
they proceeded 70 the place, and, sans cermonie,
marched into the house, and stood a short time
spectators of the sight" Their fine clothes and
naughty demeanor excited the ire of the young
lusty Irish beaux, and they were bundled out Of
the house, neck and heels the enemy being rather
too strong for them. They returned home slightly
crestfallen, and will not venture there again very
soon.
DRUNK AND FIGHTrNa.--Joseph Leah was found
drunk yesterday, and also strongly inclined to
knock down unfortunately all who approached
him within striking distance. lie was seized by
officer Martin, whereupon he refused to walk, and
laid himself down. The officer procured wheel
barrow, and the man made triumphant entry into
Squire Donn's Office whence he was sent to jail for
breach Of the peace.
