TONED sports on the pavements One Of them
loudly proclaimed his name while the other de-
clared that he belonged to the great American
KNOWN othing buchanan e-d-d party,n and
could whip anything on the Island. AS nobody
appeared to question their right to belong to any
party theY Pleased, or to dispute their enormous
pugilistic abilities, they were allowed to pas
along. They made no demonstration towards
any Dody they met, however their only offence
consisting in their free use Of grossly profane aud
vulgar language. When they reac he'd the corner
OF st7eet; the employer Of one of them overlook
them and deliberately walked his employee
home. The other was taken in charge by a rela-
tive, and with considerable d ftculty W as nduc
to keep quiet. No police officers appeared to be
in the neig boThOod at the time, although the
proceeding continued for the space of at least If
teen minutes, and the amenability of the parties
TO arrest and punishment was beyond doubt Ii
Is needless to add that they both appeared some
rhdf thebrtdted, and presented fair specimens of
men " sPitiHg for fght."
