REcoRDERs CoCRr.-The City -. John
Gassey.-The defendant, wsslbrong'l uIp on
Tuesday, on the complaint OF Mr. JoLn +.
Glover, for riding horse al an unlawful
speed through the streets within the curpo-
rate limits. A large number vi witnesses
testified in the case, which seemed to excite
considerable interest. The evidence on the
part of the complaint showed that Casey
rode the horse at full speed through Main
street, from Third and Eighth streets, sew
erol times, checking him up, and then again
urging him forward at the greatest speed,
whereby several children narrowly escaped
being run over. The case was defended by
Morris ). Johnson, Esq, and witnesses were
introduced who testified that the horse was
II very unmanageable one, could with diff
Guilty be rode, that he was in the habit Of
running away on almost every occasion,
and that the rider, in the present case, was
unable TO control him ard, also, that the
object OF the rider on this occasion was to
train the animal.
Upon a inll hearing OF the case, the Re-
corder adjudged Mr. Casey guilty OF violat-
ing a city ordinance, aud imposed a fine of
one dollar and costs upon the defendant
We think the judgment very just one,
though fine of FIVE dollars would have
been juster, il, as a witness for the defense
admitted, the horse was being ridden for the
purpose of training him. Even though the
rider could not control him (which was not
shown on trial., no one has right to turn
Main street into pacing track, and use one
of our most crowded thoroughfres for
the trimming OF wild and unmanageable
horses.

The Pleasures OF Gold Seeking.

City, says:

Of these gold-seekers, however ehastened,
may not be disappointed. For the sake %
the weary, dusty, foot-sore thousands have
passed ON my rapid journey from civilized
Kansas to this point pray that gold may
be found here in boundless extent and rea
sonable abundance. Throughout the next
six weeks, they will be dropping in here,
hundred or more per day, and trust they
are not to be sent home disappointed, spirit
broken and pennies. II they must recross
the great desert with their slow-moving
teams, NAV they be enabled to do SO with
lighter hearts and heavier purses
For the very mothers who bore them
would hardly recognize their own sons now
toiling across the Plains, and hideously hir-
suite, reeklessly ragged, barefoot, sun-brown-
ed, dust-coyered, and with eyes shielded
(where they have them by goggles from the
glare of the prairie sun. A true picture of
rold-seekers setting out from home, trim and
Jolly, for Pike Peak, and those same gold
seekers sober "a judges and slow-moving as
their own weary oxen, dropping into Denver,
would convey a salntary lesson to many a
sanguine SOUL Nay; have in my mind s

ships have been nothing to theirs-came in

thoughtful frame of mind, in dust-begrimed
1 and tattered habiliments, with patch on

EXTRAORDINARY ExHIBIrIoN--A MAN OF
LEATHER-An exhibition of a very remarka-
bic and unnatural character attracted a
small but higly respectable audience at the
Melodeon on Thursday evening last. A
young man by the name of James Stevens,
had advertised that he would do many won
derful things in the way of cutting himself
up with knives, mailing his feet, arms and
legs to chairs, to the wall, &c, which as
founding exploits he proceeded TO exhibit at
the appointed hour, in the presence OF a num-
Der of physicians of celebrity, including
members of the Medical Faculty of Transyl-
vania University, and other learned Pro-
fessors, who were invited TO the stand, that
they might detect any fraud or deception, If
practised. He began by sticking handful
of pins, up to the head into his legs then
drove an awl through the middle of his
wrist into chair; drove q knife through
the muscle OF his leg; nailed his foot to a
wooden shoe, the nail or awl passing through
the middle of the foot, and so walked about
the stage; cut his dexter finger through the
feshy part, exhibiting the naked bone, and
concluded by passing knife through his
check, the blade protruding from his mouth.
In all this but very little blood was drawn.
Tie also offered to drive q knife through each
leg and hang himself from the wall, which
the audience mercifully excused him from
doing, feeling satisfied that he could accom-
pli.h whatever he proposed. About the
whole procedure there was no sort of hum
bug, as the eyes of divers gentlemen, who
were upon the stand, were steadily fixed
upon him, and any " unbelieving Thomas
had an opportunity to touch the knife blade
on the opposite side to that into which it
had been thrust, Of the leg, wrist, or hand.
He used few galvanic rings about his per-
sou, which was probably more for show
than anything else, as they could effect moth
ing. Mr.. Stevens looks to be not more than
30 or Il years OF age. Before closing,
he proposed to operate in similar manner
upon any Que of the audience, agreeing to
forfeit 81, 900 if he inflicted pain. This,
however, was prudently declined. We saw
this man Of leather early yesterday MORN
ing, looking as fresh and Whoie, as though
knife or nail had never penetrated his elias
tic body.-Ler. OBS. aud Rep. IS,

A DEPLoRABLE ACCIDENTAL Cannelton
on Tuesday evening, about half past nine
o'clock, Mr.. Hughes took a skiff and went
out a short distance from the shore to lay
fish line. The night being excessively hot,
his wife, with young child, went out in
the skiff with him to enjoy the river breeze
and the moonlight scene upon the water.
While the husband was in the bow of the
boat, with his attention absorbed in laying
his line, the steamer E. H. Fairchld came
up, with barge on each side, and although
the skiff was out of the channel and near the
shore, and the scene was made as bright by
the rays Of the full moon "a by day, the
steamer and barge passed immediately over
The boat as if the pilot had not seen it, or
paid no attention to it,
The skif passed under the full length OF
the barge, and was dashed to pieces; the
husband rose and caught at line hanging
TO the barge as he came up. The mother
and hapless infant did not appear upon thC
surface, and were probably killed when tb,
boat struck the skiff. The steamer did mo-
check her course, nor stop to learn the result
Of the pilots reckless carelessness Tn,
officers of the boat, We hope, will be held t
severe account for their crininality. But
there is 40 penalty on the statute book AIDE
quately To punish such murderous acts. 4
similar deed on the Cumberland river,
short time ago, sent the Pilot and Captain
10 the penitentiary for a long term.
