RiOting in Detroit.
(Prom the Detro Free Press. Sunday

sFrom the Detro Free Rress SIpday)
a determined and obstinate, and undouht-
eddy premeditated, onslaught was last night
made upon some disorderly houses in the
Tenth Ward, which resulted in the burning of
three of them, and the complete ransacking of
fourth. The attack was made by a body Of
some forty or fifty men, who are unknown,
but who are supposed to be inhabitants of the
Ward who have taken the law into their own
hands III very summary manner. They first
attacked dance house on the other side Of
the Pontiac railroad near Qrpahan street,
AID, driving the inmates out, proceeded to
smash everything movable in it, alter which
it was set on fire, and in few minutes was
wra ped in flames. Proceed ng FROM thence
to the notorious house kept by Charley Law
renee, negro dance house of the very lowest
description they entered and pitched into the
inmates without mercy. A fight ensued, in
the progress of which Q man Waa stabbed in
the SHOULDER hy glrl an inmate of the house.
All were driven out, however, and the build
ing fired, and burned to the ground before
the engines reached the vicinity.
From there the destroying mob took their
way up Congress street, to house kept by
French Ioe,' and, CHEERING. .soan demolished
everything in it, and set it on fire, alter dri-
vii 6 the inmates out into the street. This
was snall one story building, and was soon
consumed. 1t was the first building on the
other side of the track. Crossing the bridge
the party then in the door of house kept by
"irish LIB This is a large two story house,
and was occupied by large number Of yo:
men, whe at the FIRST hlaw upon the door,
took to flight, and left everything to the mer-
cy of the mob. The door soon gave way,
and the crowd rushed in and effected a COM
plete demolit on of everything in the house.
Carpets were torn up mirrors smashed, fur
niture of every description broken up and
thrown out OF the windows which were all
kicked out. The beds and hadsteads we're
thrown Out into the mud, and, in fact, the
house completely riddled. The intention evil
IDENTIFY was to set it on fire, but so large a
crowd had been attracted by the other fires,
that they were compelled to retreat to re-
treat to escape detection.

The Scalper Acquitted.

Fugitt, the wretch who last summer MUIR
dered and scalped the cripple Hops, on the
Lawrence road near Leavenworth, has been
tried before Judge Lecompte and acquitted.
The Jury was packed by the Bogus Sheriff,
who put on it eleven Ruffians and one Free
State man. The latter held out against the
eleven for "a hours, and then gave in, for fear
that his house might be burnt by the Ruff
ans, out Of revenge.
There is no law for Free State man, dead
or living in Kansas, while the National De-
mocracy" bear rule. But there is good
time coming, wait little longer" The day
will shortly be when the Free State people
will laugh at the calamity of the cut threats,
and mock when their fear cometh.- Chicago

A CoNJuGAL TR1AL.-At Zurich, in for
mer times, it was the custom, when a married
couple applied for divorce on account of in
compatibility of temper, for the magistrate
to shut up the pair for a fortnight in an iso-
lated tower on the lake. Not only were they
condemned to common room, but they were
supplied with only one bed, one chair, one
knife and one fork, so that their comfort de-
pended entirely on mutual cQmplaisance. If,
after the expiration of the fortnight, they per-
sisted in their resolution, the tribune ordered
a serious examination of the case, and, if pos
sible, the divorce. But in general the quar-
relsome pair did not wait for the end of trial
to which they were subjected to become re-
conciled, and to request to be released.-GG

WHAT LOST BH KISSING KATE.
From the Cincinnati Time

There were Lizzie, Kate and Mary,
All three beautiful and young;
But the name of Mary ever
fingered longest ON my tongue,
And hopes In secret cherished
OF home where she was queen,
But one day those sweet hopos persisted,
And left life desert scene.
They and were once together,
frollcking beneath the moon,
In the mildest of mild weather.
In the odorous of June;
And sweet Mary said, " Since kisses
In tie moonlight time are due,
l would take this best of kisses
From Hates lips, il l were you"
Scarcely had the thought been spoken,
Ere, with heart and eye elate,
l had claimed the honied token
From the rosy lips of Kate,
Bat alack. in the obeying,
l made sad mistake;
For in heart the girl was saying,
Kate will lose what shall take"
= A tss hdte :" this was what she told me;
But its meaing was Ass me
Oh. vain heart and oh eyes silly,
Thus TO fall the truth to see!
So We parted; | with sorrow,
She with scorn. perhaps with hate,
And my heart grows sad by knowing
What lost by kissing Kate.
