out word of wsgning, had brought . SQUAD Aick-
ory in collision with his profile. the effects Of

nually stolen from the dealers In this city
The margin of the dock IL continually covered
with piles Of boards OF every description, and

pay an honest man fair price to guard their
piles" and save money by the operation. Yes

migrated from the land of tar, pich and turpen-
tine, made his debut before the Mayor yestsrday,
to answer for being drunk and disorderly In the
first market. Archy didn't seem to understand
by what authority his liberty had been prescribed,
| merely for taking few nibbles at "chsin light
ming" and afterwards blowing Of the generated
| steam, in public place; but when Informed that
he would have to give bail for his future good be-
havior, or probably fnd himself digging dirt with
ball and chain dangling near his ankles, he blub.
bered right out and swore eternal hostility to sll
distillation that make drunk come. 7ot

morning last, two men were arrested and tsksn

hands of the watchmen, for being drunk and dis
| orderly. lie then gave his name as Louis Congani,
and by way OF escaping prison. resisted the officers

first bond was forfeited, and he was again reqrir-
cd to give security for his better conduct In IN.
