and struck several times by man named Burch,
VINO stood facing him, and at the same time he
received several blows from some four others who
were in the rear. DESTROYS to avoid rencounter

graces.
CENTRE MARkFT There was full attendance
OF the dealers of the city and country in the mar
ket this morning. The fish dealers were all in
their new shed by the canal side, and the old
dilapidated shed has been entirely removed

more room in the market space convenience to
the hSh dealers, and advantage to the IabOrers in
cleansing the tEoroug hfares. Shad Were selling
at 25a3sc. per pair, large rock SlaS2 each, and
small hSh pc per bunch la the hay market the
prices rang ed from 15c. TO 81 per cwt.

very unpleasant TO pedestI ians

Tying drunk on The street, who was sent to the
