CITY ITEMS.


fast becoming a city-in way. A sort of
blank statement of shooting affairs, love-
making under difficulties, and romantic items
generally, will shortly become necessity to
penny-a liners, locals knights of the quill,
or whatever else attaches Of newspapers, mu-
nicipal and Typographical editors may choose
to call themselves.
Hardly day passes but something occurs
to astonish society, crafty malicious gabblers,
or shock the modesty of Irish cooks The
last occurrence of romantic kind-if sue
cess is the criterion by which we are to Judge
such things-can't be beat in st. Paul for six
months to come, nor in any other place OF
the same number of inhabitants, an equal
amount of two-story brick and frame dwell
lings and private boarding houses, north,
east or west of latitude 44:53, before the ap-
preaching holidays. About that PERIOD af-
fairs leading to the same result are expected
to be so numerous, and individuals who now
have no other amusement than collecting the
simple facts in the present and contemporary
transactions, will be SO deeply interested in
their success that no notice will be taken OF
them by the public. The scenes in the play
have progressed slowly since the opening-a
tableau-wth which all our readers are ia
miliar, as it was fully described at the time
Moonlight-a young mana dwelling-a
window-a ladder-the young man ascends
-he is met at top by a beautiful damsel, the
idol of his heart-he is on the upper round
her night-gown-they embrace-the ladder
is not safe, and he attempts to enter, and at
this particular juncture the parent of the la
dy awakes, suspects something is wrong-he
smells a rat" dead for ducat"-and the
next moment he is armed and equipped to
repel the invasion of the indiscreet lover.
Next morning, full account of the whole
transaction appeared in the local columns of
the city press, with the remark, made pa
renthetically, that the young man would
shortly recover from the injuries received.
Their extent was never ascertained however,
and whether it was his affections or his back
that was hurt we can only conjecture. The
, weapon used upon the occasion by the en-
ragged parent was similar to Rory O'Moores
favorite never-miss-fire. For some weeks
nothing has been Leard of either party, save
that the young man and his friends were
given to understand that his suit was hopeless,
and that his presence would be very unwel-
come in the vicinity of the young lady ;
residence. In he meantime, it is supposed
that the lovers managed to meet and CORES
pond with each other; and so things have
gone on, until day before yesterday when a
complaint was entered against him for g as
saulting lady" To this he pleaded not
guilty, and the evidence adduced on his part
went to show that the lady was laboring
under mistake, although she swore posi-
lively to the contrary. He was considered
guilty, however, and ordered to pay fire OF
| fifty dollars, rather than do which he took an
appeal, and gave bonds for his appearance at
the District Court. An officer was directed
by him to the premises, and returned with
the following which is probably the cause of
the whole proceeding. The name of the
author of the epistle and the one to whom it
was addressed does not appear upon it

received your letter dearest, with great
pleasure. | think | have received some
wrongs from your parents, but they being the
authors of an eXstense SO sweet to me, as
yourself, will never allow me to harm or in
Iure them. Dearest, suffer as | do the pain

shall join each other, to be united as long as

and hope and know that future JOYS will
amply compensate for the miseries of the pre-

This note was found in tic yard adjoining
the residence of the. young lady, and the
stones. the throwing of which caused his APP
pcarance in the Police Court, were designed
to attract attcntion TO it, that the youn.
lady's parents might n, longer remain in ig-
norance of the true facts in the case. The
following will show tie correctness of his
statement that he is the husband of the
young lady, and that his intention was not to
lnflIct injury by throwing stones, but to at
tract attention to his JHat doux:
