other severely. Constable Edwards lent hand
which had the effect of cutting short proceedings
Soon afterwards, couple of dogs took each othe,
by the throats, and in savage struggle for mas

the occasion, was not very creditable to those
engaged in it.

SANS TuRTLEs.-The three turtles which

Now, you gentlemen who carry pistols, can't
you let the harmless turtles alone?

plexion of the weather in the last week. From
having been positively hot, it has become decid-

are nipping, and Jack Frost is evidently lurking
some place around, ready to pounce upon us, on
the occasion of the first pretext that offers.
ALMOST FIRE.-The Star Bakery caught
fire on Sunday evening, from the chimney -fue,

roof, which extinguished the flames immediately.
