occurred on yesterday afternoon, on 4th street
between q servant girl of the one part and q
certain NJ. d. and Mrs NJ d. of the other part.
NJ, D e little son went into q neis hbor's kitch-
en- and abused the servant girl. whereupon he
received dousing of water after being warned
off. NJ. d. and lady, enraged, proceed to
neighbors kitchen to have pitch in. N. D.
rolled up his sleeves. spit on his hands, and
backed by Mrs. N. H., proceeded to walk in,
but bloomstcks, toasting forks, plates, dishwa-

kitchen, walked in also, and flew about in
manner to astonish Chinese ugler. At the
third round Green Erin was ahead and the
two NJ. DIS did not come to time but beat q
hasty and most inglorious retreat.
