FREE FisHr.-Yesterday afternoon a pair of
youngsters, who had been on a spree since the
evening previous, passed from the Avenue to the
seventh Ward, breathing out threster sngs and
slaughter against all who dared to say aught
against their conduct. In the Seventh Ward
tney met at the corner Of Third and street with
another small party just as ready for fun or ght-
ing, ana they pummelled each other smartly for
season, 10 the edifcation to the bystanders, who
cared not straw which whipped, or even II,
IKE the Kilkenny cats. they used each other up.
A MECHANICAL CURIOSITY, indeed, Is the
wood-sawing and splitting machine of the Messrs.
Gait. The great difficulty experienced by these
gentlemen is to supply the orders which pour I'm
from all quarters Yet the machine is unceasing-
iy In oreration, and its endless chain drops the
nicely prepared wood into baskets almost faster
than 1t can be conveyed away. 1t i, really worth
inspection.

A SENSIBLE MAN-The editor Of

the present style of female dress,
says.
awhile we think our correspondent
offers some good reasons for the ac-
cidents occurring to ladies from fire.
since the adoption Of the present
fashions. we do not endorse all its
structures upon the rigging. We
have been a married man for several
years-and have long since learned
not to have an opinion about female
apparel, or if we did to keep it to
oursely es.
The writer of the above, must
sport lair Of these pants, into
which, it seems, his legs must have
been poured, when in a melted state.
Therefore, it becomes him, as mat
ter Of policy to be quite mum on the

LAGER BEER,

The process of manufacturing Ia
ger beer : an 'institution" now pret-
ty thoroughly naturalized, although
it did not emigrate to this country
till as late as 1847--diffe rs very
much from that employed in making
common beer or ale. In brewing for
lager beer the only materials are malt;
hops and water. It is curious fact
that while ale and common beer fer
ment upward lager beer ferments
downwards. Common beer can be
made fit for use in FIVE or six days
according to the heat of the Weather;
but it requirts nearly as many months
to perfect lager beer; and if instead
of months, years Of probation were
given, it would be all the better
Brewers of lager beer are generally
very healthy, and regard the free
use OF beer as preventive Of
many disess S, intluaing cholera
They drink on an average from thir-
ty to forty glasses daily, and enjoy
good health. Latterly. it is thought,
dishonest brewers, to meet the de-
mand upon them, resort to deleterious
substances ard that pernicious drugs
are substituted for hops Should
this impression become general. the
trade viii be ruined, as people do not
care to be poisoned on anything but
mean brandy, which do the work
much quicker.
