PLEASANT NEIGHBoRs.- &C: A. Brockmy-
er appeared before Alderman Farrar, Yesterday
morning, TO answer the charge of assaultins and
kicking John Schad, the night before. The defeu-
dant in this occupies portion of the house of
the complainant, on 12th street, between ain aud
Cary, and has the appearance of being an orderly
we-behaved man. Schad, on being sworn, stated
that Brockmyer owed him some rent, and that he
sent his up stairs to collect t-that the lad re-
turned and told him Brockmyer said he must come
up il he wished TO see hm-and that on going into
the room the accused abused him in shameful
manner and then kicked him So far so good But
Brockmyer had also procured a warrant against
Schad and proved, by very respectable witness
that Schad went into Brockmyers house, and MOI
only abused but struck him in the presence of his
wife and that he had to be forcibly elected from
the room TO prevent further disturbance This
statement fixed the flint for both parties and indu-
ced the Justice TO require each of them to give
bail in the sum of 500 for their good behavior

AsoruER SUDDEN DEATH.-ln another
mart of our paper appears afnotice of the
sudden death of Mr. JAMES GRAY, an old ana
highly esteemed citizen. He had been Tor
very many years one of the most distinguish
ed tobacco merchants of this city. kema'A'
able for his excellent judgment OF t'oaoc'
be was not less remarkable for the beiahess
and spirit with which he participated IN the
trade in the great staple. As Is the case OIL
ten with large dealers in staple commodities,
IL was his fate more than once to have en-
couutered adversely; but like Antique, he
seemed TO gather strength from his fall, and
ra.urned to his vocation with renewed ener
CIV to rebuild his fortunes. But the bright
spot in his history ia, that in all the vicissi
tudes of his avocation, he preserved spot
less integrity Like refined gold, he came
out of III at furnace which proves the true
had been subjected
Mr.. Gray had in the evening been enga-
ged in planting some trees in his yard, and it
is supposed that his STOPPING attitude in this
employment may have brought on apo
plexy Of which he died. He was the head
of large family. His disposition was frank,
| sincere kind and charitable. He was faith
full in all his relations to society, and enjoyed
| the warm esteem of everybody who knew
| him.
1t is startling fact, that within week
three of our citizens have died very sud
denly. Thus are we, with warning trebly
enforced. reminded of the transient nature
of earthly existence, and the slender and brit
tie nature of the ties which unite us to the
pleasures, the hopes ana the Joys of the
world. The lesson is indeed one of every
day repetition but just now it comes so
strangely, rung in with triple death-knell,
that it is enough to make the most indiffer-
ent reflect at least for moment upon its
solemn import.
