inson, and is now prosecuting for a writ
of habeus corpus from Judge Jones, who
is now at Mansfield. This is a fearf
occurrence of violence aud bloodshed
May we never hear of such another.
As an offset to the revolving occur
renee just noted, | understand that one
of the most pleasant, social, intellectual
and life-sweetening affairs transpired in
our city few days since in the way of
a Judicial dinner given to the members
Of the bar and officers of the court By
our worthy and popular Judge Jones.
The best ofgood feeling prevailed the
whole affair spiced with wit and elo-
quence. Pity yoss and Iare not law,
yers, Colonel. How much we loose by
our misfortunes.
But speaking Of mint juleps, " Hook
and soda ateF-cucumbers, and Other
cool things, the richest affair in that
line took place yesterday, A couple
of giwilesnsn with Milesian accent and
Hibernian proclivities-to carry out
rich Irish joke-went into the private
dwelling of one of our worthiest citi>
zens-demanding something to eat.
The good lady being frightened, left
her house and sent for her husband =
who upon coming home found this
brace of Paddles sitting regally at bis
table, curisng his cook with imperial
airs. Whereupon our citizen catherine
spade, and assisted by a friend naedi-
oa'ed the two worthless upon the mascu-
lar portions of their persons by gentle
percussions, which had all the enliven-
ing effect of cataplasm. But the
riches part ofthe joke is, that theiolIy,
.ribicund, returned police officer who
was detailed to arrest the funny gentle
men from Ireland, was so oyerpowered
with the pungency of the fun, that he
went offinto convulsion Of laughter and
entirely forgot to make an arrest.
Our latest news is from the gay
loriousn Union nomination of John
Bell for Presidency, and Edward Ever
ett as his dry mArse, at Baltimore.
Well! the position belongs to them of
course, they have found It first, and
the +" early bird catches the worm. No
sort of use for the Democracy to meet
now; they had better stay at home
for that ponderous Bell will ring where
erer ii goes.
I have the honor to stale before /
close that our city is now rejoicing in
the visit Of the celebrated /" Diamond
Ring man." You recollect some time
since in the city of New Orleans be-
nevolent souled individual volunteered
his services as surgeon to make a post
mortem examination on the body Of an
esteemed and lamented citizen OF that
city. And after the body was shroud-
ed and enclosed for its last resting place,
the benevolent surgeon makes known
to The agonized wife that in the exami-
nation he lost fine diamond ring in
the body of the husband, and insisted
that the coffin should be unclosed, the
shrouds torn of, the body re-opened :
for the purpose of finding that dear
ring, worth at least thirty dollars. Il
that 6enepolent and modes request
should be refused-his heart bleeding
and breaking under the loss of the pre-
cious gem-should be healed and
soothed by thirty dollars. Well, that
sweet modest souled surgeon is in our
city. / will endeavor to have demon
stration made by our city authorities,
at least appoint committee TO wait on
the distinguished gaest aud in the most
DELEGATE and urbane lnaaner request G
lock of his hair
AS ever, 2ED CITY.
