JUGGED.-On Monday last, numerous
highly inebriated and very pugnacious in
dividuals, strangers in attendance at Court,
were arrested and "sent up in conse-
quence of their desire to break each 9TH

They seemed considerably disgusted at the
want of appreciation by our citizens of
their scientific attainments, as also at their
non-combatant dispositions. Served them

ANOTHER LAMP EXPLosIoN-It would
appear as if pine-oil is unusually explo-
sive, or people unusually careless, or lamps
unusually dilapidated, just at present. On
Monday night, the lamp which lights the
store of Thomas Devine, Esq, being in a
leaky condition, caught fire, but was ex-
tinguishcd before any damage was done
After few more episodes of like charac-
ter, we would not be at all surprised to
hear of the sudden abandonment of the
use of pine-oil and fluid, to a great extent,
by our citizens. BE careful, at all events

ATTEMPTED SUrcIDE.-A negro-a steamboat
barber-named Joseph Bluff, who had been
for long time on terms of the closest init
macy with mulatto woman, who resides on
Columbia street, between Ludlow and Law
renee, and which relationship was sanctioned
by no law save that Of sympathy and affection,
attempted to destroy himself, day or two ago,
by cutting his throat with a knife. He had
lived with her for a long time, and happily,
too; but a little while ago, while he was absent
in New Orleans, she received the attention of
another one of Afrio's sons, and when he re-
turned he found his place at her side and in
her heart occupied. He forthwith tried
to drown his grief in the villainous stuff they
sell in that neighborhood for whisky, and he
became delirious; but even that could not make
him forget her, and at an interview he con-
cluded any other world was better far than this;
but not the Fates nor he could cut the cord
which bound him unto life and still he lives to
weep for her he must have loved and certainly
has lost

MARRIAGE OF PROSE AND PoETRY.-Justice
Hanselman, yesterday, married Maria 0nger, a
young and rosy-faced girl, who might. have
been model for youthful poets Venus, to
an old widower, named William Kastner, who
was sixty years of age, and the father of ten
children. Aphrodite married Vulcan, but nc
one ever believed she loved him; and so this
gray old man will find, we fear, that although
the Winter WOO the Spring, such wooings will
not perfume his sbivering hours, or make thu
violets grow upon his bleak and snow-clat
landscape

THIEF DRowNED.-The steward of one of the
Pittsburg boats, now lying at our wharf, night
before last saw man, whom he took to be a
passenger, try several of the statc-room doors,
and, after watching him for some time, asked
him what he wanted. The fellow made no an
swer, but went out on the guard, when the
steward called assistance and followed him
only in time, however, to see him leap from the
stern of the boat into the stream. The night
was dark, and before any assistance could be
offered him the man had disappearcd--it i.
thought to find grave at the pebbly bottom oi

from the first musical work Of Importance composed
In this city The '"Pensaoola"o of Mr.; n. L. Ritter,

Eastern sister, the "Hiawatha" Of Mr.. Stoepel In
all candor we state that choruses have been pro-
duced by the Society this that were as effective
as those we listened to last night This of course,
owing, in great measure, to more attentive prsc-
tice. With the solos We were not so well ple
They appeared TO rs monotonous and tame, With the
exception of the soprano aria "Leaye the strangers
which was all that we could expect both in composi
ton and execution. We hope "Pcnsacola" may n

cumstopces as we are sure that il will add to III
reputation, for culture and art, that tho Western
metropolis already possesses.

ANOTHER New CoUNTERPEIT.-Every day,
almost, we hear of the appearance of new
counterfeit. Yesterday, one of the best we
ever saw made its financial debut in Third
street. 1t is twenty dollar bill on the Bank
of Observation-Disclosures, landscape, inn and
drove of cattle. 1t has deceived our best
judges, and can only be detected by the sigma
lures, which, upon being examined closely,
seem stiff, and have notthe appearance of hav-
ing been written with free hand. Our read
ers will henceforth be on their guard against
them. 1t is of the old-style engraving, and
the plate has not been used to any extent by
the bank for number of years.

1 THE POLICE CoMMIssIoN BILL-Section first
requires the Mayor, Police Judge and City
Auditor to meet on the last Monday in March,
1859, and appoint four persons, who, with the
Mayor, shall constitute a Board Of Police
Commissioners, whose terms of Office shall be
one, two, three, four and five years, respec-
tively all subsequent appointments being for
five years. %
Section second empowers the Commissioners
to appoint police officers, watchmen and keep
ers of station houses, to serve during the will
of the Commissioners, and to mako regulations
for their government; the appointments for
1859 to be made on the first Wednesday in
April.
Section third provides for place Of meet
ing of the Commissioners, and for payment of
the police. ~ .. ... Nt. ',."
Section fourth requires the Chief of Police to
report to the Commissioners the names and
number of days of service Of each one Of the
subordinates.
Section fifth abolishes the Office of Marshal,
and confers its powers upon the Chief Of Po-
lice.
Section sixth provides for the establishment
of City Prison and Work house, to be gov
erned by the City Council.
All of this simply means that some of oui
politicians have gone to the Legislature for aid
to enable their party to keep that hold of the
political power in the city, which the people
have decided to take from their hands. Being
now before the House, it is said that the bill
will be put through with the strong hand. The
merits of its provisions are not matters for dis
cussion. There is question of higher i'm
portance. The Legislature is called upon t.
nullify the fairly expressed will of the people
| of the city, and, for party purpose, do an ac
| of general injustice.

New BILL EXTENDING Power OF THE PoLIoE
CoURT.-A bill has been introduced into the
Legislature of the State which, if passed, will
empower the Judge Of the Police Court to sem
tenco persons convicted of drunkenness, dis
orderly conduct, etc., to the City Prison, for
the first ofense, 80 days; for the second, 60; for
the third, six months; for the fourth, one year
and in cases where fines were to be collected,
making provision for their payment by the
prisoners, by setting them to work, at the rate
of seventy-fve cents per day, thus establish
ing kind of work-house for those inveterat'
vagrsnts who would otherwise occupy theil
time in petty thieving and bestial intoxicatiOn
The bill has passed the House, and, iE al
probability, will becomea law.

OLD FASHIONS VERSUS NRw.-A gentleman,
whose name we suppress, yesterday brought
rather peculiar suit against tailor, because
he was not suited in coat which had been
made for him. He had given this knight Of
the needle and associate of the goose and
wielder OF the shears piece Of cloth, for the
purpose of making him a garment after the
most approved style. When it was finished
SO often do the fashions change-he concluded
that it was not what he ordered, and brought
the tailor before Justice Hanselman, for the
purpose of recovering an equivalent for tn,
cloth. The witnesses, however, whom he him
self subpenaed, declared il was complete Fl
and made in the hight of the fashion, and tn,
Justice decided that the charge was non fit
and therefore discharged the suit, at the cos
of the complainant. - q

ELoPEMENT.-John Holmes, as verdant a
specimen of the genus homo as ever left the
Sucker State, made his appearance yesterday
at the Office of the Clerk of the Probate Court,
and asked for license to marry dovereyed
daughter of Eve, named Mary A. Prather.
But she was an orphan, and a guardian had to
be appointed, which delayed the cOnsumma-
ton apparently, by them, so devOutly wished
but matrimonial determination triumphs over
all obstacles, and after some annoyance, these
two were made what the world calls one, and
what they called happy. They leave the city
soon to locate in Kentucky, where, although We
doubt the happiness of the welded state, we
hope that love, with rosy garlands, fresh ani
fair, may ever crown their, now-united, lives

SINGULAR MATRIMONIAL AFFAIR.-A couple
were married, a few days ago, by Justice Han
selman, and they, apparently full of joy, after
the performance of the ceremony, departed in
the highest glee. Subsequently, besides being
intoxicated with, the pleasures Hymen brings,
they also drained the ebriating draught which
Bacchus gives, and soon became oblivious to
the past. Yesterday, they again went to the
Justice, and desired to be re-wedded, which he
assured them was not necessary, as once, in any
case, was certainly enough for any couple.

NOCTURNAL AssAULT.--An Irishman named
Fleary was assaulted on Front street, between
Smith and Rose, near A. B. Holabird & Co.'s
foundry, night before last, and severely hurt.
He had had difficulty with party of fellows
some days before, and he thinks it must
have been they who assaulted him, for, apart
from them, he knows no other enemies. He
was struck in the face with a slung-shot, and,
at the same time, from behind with a bowlder,
and was injured so badly that he will be con-
fined to his house for some days.

the City Prison for ten days. The case Of
Henry Hampton, charged with stealing oat'

until the 9Th inst. Several others, because o.
drunkenness and disorderly conduct, were sen
up for periods ranging from 10 to 80 days.

A New SocIETY.--A society, having for its
purpose the relief of the poor, has just been
started by some undetermined boys, to be
called "The Sons of Neptune" Our citizens
will be called upon by these youthful emulators
of the gentle Nazarene for aid; and we hope
their purpose may not be thwarted by those
unkindly refusals so often met with when char
ity asks assistance. ..

SERIOUS AcoIDENT.-A man named Albert
Sholer, who, we believe, keeps grocery near
the Little Miami Railroad Depot, while en-
gagged in putting a barrel of lime into his cell
lar, was yesterday quite seriously injured. The
barrel was very heavy, and slipping cut of his
hands fell upon him, breaking his cOllar-bOne,
three of his ribs and his nose, besides injwing
him internally to such an extent that it IL
thought he can not survive. sI'.lE-.

IT was found yesterday, upon inspection Of
a lot of molasses which has for some time back
been lying upon the wharf near the Spencer

only half full. Although this fact may sour

sweetens the meals of many of the families of
that ward. '@'N ''- '''-' W "'=" '''"

ASSIGNMENT OF DowER.-In the matter OF
the heirs of John Terry, deceased. This was
a proceeding against the administrators, re-
quiring them to file an additional inventory as
to certain notes which had been assigned by
deceased TO his wife, and given to her, as it
was alleged, in consideration of her signing
deed, relnquishing her right of dover in the
sale of certain real estate. The widow now
claims the notes to be herpersonal and Individual
property. ,s- n--. 10. t..-r r. ... 4,
The above facts appear from testimony, and
also that she was in the habit of receiving i'm
terest on these notes, at the same time that the
husband received interest on ether notes, given
for the same transaction, and that she held the
notes adversely to him, g...l....-.r.'..
Judge Hilton remarked that there We 5 no
statutory provision on the subject, and hence
the right was to be determined on the princi-
pies of the common law of equity governing
the relations of husband and wife; and the
Court, therefore, would hold that a post-nup-
tial contract between husband and wife, by
which property is set apartfor her separate use
though void in law, will be sustained in equity
