DIsGRACEFUL PRoCEEDING.-It is with pain
that we record the fact that our city was the
scene OF mo st disgraceful assemblage last
evening. The facts are these: portion OF
our population ins,gated by their feelings in re.
lation to the currency question, paraded the
streets with music and a transparency. They
marched to the store Of Burrows Prettyman,
on Front street, in company with large numbers
who had Joined them, constituting eventually
several hundred, and after considerable mani
festations of excitement and the breaking
Of large front window BY missile, pro.
ceeded up Perry to Second streets, thence to
Brady street, and thence by the nearest route
to-the dwelling OF Mr.. Ebenezer Cook.
At the latter place, they filled the air with
shouts and yells, and, not content with this,
hurled stones through the unprotected windows
OF the house. Mrs. Cook, who was standing
near the window, was struck by one Of these
missiles on the breast, and was most seriously
injured. After remaining some time, they dis
persed. 1t soon became apparent that large
instruments of citizens were gathering round,
irriiaied almost beyond endul ance at the hi h
handed outrage committed upon the residence
of one OF our most estimable citizens
Upon its being made known that the crowd
would meet again this morning at Q o'clock,
Sheriff Leonard issued call for our !aw-abid-
ing citizens which we presume will be met
promptly. We sincerely trust that no further
attempts will be made TO prosecute these law
less and disgraceiu measures, and would fain
believe that the original intention did not con-
template any such serious resalts.-Davenport
Gazette, Aug. IL.

Cincinnati Directory; the bogus Legislature ;
the "threat and the bribe-all have gone to

useless curiosites. Only some twenty six pre-.
cincts have been heard from, but these include
the largest and most populous, and nearly all
the border rut6an strongholds. Perhaps they
aiso include nearly one half the votes of the
Territory. They aggregate upwards Of 5000

lxTAxrs' FooD.-At this season, when ordi-
partly the largest number Of cases which swell
the bills Of mortality, especially in our cities,
are those Of infants. aud as doubtless many arise
from improper food, We shall do little service
in giving prominence to a paragraph on this
point from the undoubted authority of Halls
Journal Of Health:
When it is necessary to feed infants artif-
cially, and cows milk is used, it should be first
boiled, then skinned, then sweetened little
with sugar, and next little salt added; not
enough to give it a saltisb taste. Milk thus
prepared not only prevents the indigestion and
consequent acidity, flatulence, collie, diarrhea,
&c, from which sucking children suffer SO much,
bat will actually cure them.

WOULDN'T SrARr.-In the still hours of the
night, between Sunday and Monday, a Celt laid
on the pavement on Third St., and wouldn't get
up. The threats and entreaties of his comradc
were of no avail. The air was full of his impre.
cations. Vainly did we endeavor to sleep, while,
for two hours, this bedlamite performance was
kept up. II these people feel disposed to get
drunk, it is their own business but wheE they
disturb neighborhoods with their drunken howl
ings, we object. AT the present season, our
good people are troubled sufficiently with mos
quitoes, without the additional music of street
drunkards. How can it be gotten rid Of?

A NOTABLE SLAVE CAsE.-The Rapides (La.)
Democrat tells curious story of slave Who.
six years ago, ran asay from bis master in Geor-
gia, married white woman, who had several
children BY him, and settled near Bertrand's
Prairie, RaP:des parish. His personal appear
ance had never led any one to suspect his Afri
can blood; bus his old master by some means
learned his hiding place, and came on in pur.
suit OF him two or three weeks since. He and
his companion, armed with shot guns. met and
recognized the slave, and on his attempting to
escape, shot him twice, wounding him, but not
severely enough to prevent his escape. His
owner offers reward OF 5000 forhs arrest.

rooms for comfort and convenience could hardly
be excelled, while there is harmony and cor

which strikes the bcholder from every point

The English Lords of the Bench decided at
Westminster about month ago, that it was a
principle of common law that Counsellor, in
questioning witness, should address him in
o binary tones and in language of respect, such
as is employed by one gentleman in CONVERSE
ton with another; that such lawyer has no right
to question the private business or moral char
aeter of witness any further than it is APP
parent they absolutely effect his reliability or
touch the case in hand; and that witness is
not bound to answer questions put to him in an
insulting or bull-dogsh manner. If forced to
answer by the court, he will have his remedy in
an action for damages.
