INFAMOUS Assault ON A WoMAN.-Late
on Friday night policeman Booth, Of the
18th ward, heard the cries of female on
his post, and proceeded to the corner of Sd
and 44th street, found her held upon the
sidewalk by a rufian, and struggling to es-
cape from his grasp. The moment the fell
low saw the officer he fed, but was pur-
sued through new buildings and vacant LOTS
until he was captured. The officer was
severely assaulted, but with the assistance
of another policeman, managed to take him
TO the station house. The prisoners name
is Thomas kugent, He was recognized by
the police as a notorious ruffian who had
been guilty Of several outrageous assaults
but one Of those characters whom they found
impossible to have convicted in our Courts
The officer, on returning 10 the corner of Sd
avenue and 44th street, found the woman
had disappeared; but it was hoped she
would come forward and have the offender
prosecuted. 1t was one of this class o
rowdies Bernard Mooney that Governo'
Clark recently pardoned from the STATE
Prison. He had been sent up for ten year.
for q similar oifense. The result of tina
pardon has already been seen; for it appear
that this is the same Bernard Mooney VIII,

to "a rs, the latter figure having been Of
fered for small lots the last week. The
weight this season as compared with last,
shows falling off of 10 to 10 per cent?. be-
side large falling off in the quantity Of
hogs slaughtered. Short crops of corn in
many parts OF the State, and fear that
hogs would not realize satisfactory prices,
together with the generally felt want OF an
outlet TO market in winter, probably
produced this state of things, rather
than any actual deficiency in the hog crop.

contents of the house Of the prisoner; he was

dog which would weigh two pounds; he
gave $36 for him, he had another dog, that
weighed one hundred and fifty pounds; he
had house full of servants; he had eight or
ten during the absence Of his wife; he had
two coachmen and two grooms; had mar
servant and five or six girls, first and sec
ond cook; this is while his wife was absent
some Of them were discharged when she re
turned; learned he had band of music il

had meat served in silver dishes on the Sab
bath, he was very particular about hi

SALTS ron SrABLEs.-If a compound of
gypsum and sulphats of magnesia be used
on the floors of stables, it will absorb the
moistures and ammonia, and keep the stable
dry and free from offensive smell. The
compound salt, after it has absorbed all the
moisture possible, is remov ed to be used for
manure, anu fresh salts applied in the same
way. This is an excellent plan for keep
ing stables dry and healthy.
