Police Court.

We understand that on Saturday last, there
was a case up before Justice Parsons, in which
the merits of Lager" came indirectly in ques-
tioH.
1t appears that the defendant, hailing under
the musical appellation of Hautbois was COM
planned of for keeping disorderly and gambling
house in Lambertyille; and consequently, Off
Ger Todd politely requested Mr.. Hautbois to
walk with him to visit the Justice.
A number of witnesses were examined It
appeared that the defendant transported that
rare exotic, "lager beer saloon" from Tren-
ton to this place. some few months ago, and
that in addition to the fascinating sparkle and
bewitching charm that turks around glass of
foaming lager" the defendant, to make things
still more pleasant and enticing, keeps in room
adjacent to his saloon bagatele table, upon
which his customers take hand, and the one
that gets beat treats the rest to lager-the pro-
prietor himself occasionally taking hand, but
as he is very expert player, it is not often
that they win the drinks from him, but is gen
erally on the winning side, and consequently
gets his "sucker" in Free The justice believ
ing this to be an Infringement Of the law, bound
the defendant over to court
1t was hard to tell who felt the most uncom-
Portable, the defendant or the witnesses, who
were called on to testify

The DIFFICULTY BETWEEN SENATORS DOUGLAS
AND FITCH.-It appears that Mr. Douglas call
ed on Mr.. Fitch to withdraw the offensive Ian
guage used towards him in the conrse of the de-
bate, on Friday in secret session of the Sen
ate.
Mr.. Fitch, in the course of his reply, said that
so far as his son was concerned in connection
with the Illinois appointments, Mr.. Douglass
explanation was satisfactory, but Mr.. Fitch did
not withdraw his offensive remarks.
Mr.. Douglas, in a second note, affirmed what
he had said in the Senate, and offered Mr. Fitch
another opportunity to withdraw.
In reply, Mr.. Fitch withdrew his offensive
language, based on what he assumed to be Mr..
Douglass explanation.
This withdrawal Mr.. Douglas accepted, re-
peating that he had said nothing in his cores
pondence which he had not said in the Senate
debate,
To this note Mr. Fitch replied, but the report
does not state the substance of his note
The probability is that the entire matter ends
with this correspondence, as there appears to be
no ground for further proceedings.
