half-past six o'clock, the chimney of

ExEaErToAL.-We have been requested to
state that the 7. B. Crosby, fined for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct, day or two
since, Is not the T. B. Crosby who does busi.
ness on Columbia-street, Cincinnati, and re-
sides in Covington. Tho we'll. known charac-
ter OF the latter gentleman, however, would
alone be sufficient to refute any impression
that might be entertained concerning the
identity of the two percons.
SCHOOL BoARD.-At q called session of the
School Board, held night before last, Profess
sor Drury was appointed Principal of the
High School, uice Professor Matthews ssigned.

SINGULAR DKOIsIoN.-A certain Magistrate
OF this city, who has attained considerable
notoriety for his polylingual prociivities, and
is only spoken of as the judec pacis, or as Clio
vanni, the yudice di pace, a few days ago had
asomewhat singular case before him for exam
nation, and delivered most remarkable de-
oision, both Of which we purpose herein to
briefly record.
A man whose name we have forgotten had
hat somewhat worn which he thought might
be materially improved by the aid of the iron
of halter. He therefore took the caputal
protection of his altitudinal extremity to @
member of this craft with the order to have it
properly repaired. After the work had been
finished the man took his hat, for whftb he
was charged dollar; but he soon became dis
satisfied with the work, and brought suit for
the recovery Of the money, stating that it had
been spoiled instead Of made better.
The Magistrate carefully examined the case,
and heard the argument with the placidity and
patience for which he has become so famous
He then reviewed the affair at some length,
and, at last, delivered the opinion that justice
could be done both parties only by causing the
halter to refund the money and keep the hat,
and the decision was thus recorded upon the
docket. The plaintiff left the office hatless,
and the halter somehow thought he had been
deprived Of payment for his labor; but both
were puzzled by this new and highly original
method of dispensing justice.

The LATE PERSONAL COLLISION AT Tue CITY
PRIsoN.-The personal difficulty between Dr..
Webb, the physician of the City Prison, and
Theodore Marsh, the Chairman of the City
Council Prison Committee, an account of which
we published in our issue Of Monday morning,
has taken a much more serious form than was
at first anticipated. Day before yesterday,
Dr. Webb caused warrant to be issued for
Mr.. Marsh, charging him with manning, based
on the fact that the thumb of the plaintiff
was severely bitten by his antagonist during
the rencounter. Mr.. Marsh was before the
Police Court yesterday morning, and stated
that he regretted the difficulty exceedingly,
and would waive an examination. He was
held to bail in the sum of $500, to answer the
charge before the next term Of the Court Of
Common Pleas.

POLICE CouEr-At the Police Court ester
day morning Judge Lowe examined thirty
cases. The session was somewhat less unin-
tsresting than usual, and one or two of the
cases we're quite novel The more important
of these will be found related elsewhere.
William Immel, who keeps drinking
house some place on Fifth street, was charged
with the double offense of selling liquor to
minors and permitting gaming to take place
in his establishment. For the first he was
fined ten, and for the second fifty dollars and
costs. .

Liant and Belle, his wife, together with two
young women named Mary Lawler and Mary
Jane Williams. The establishment has long
been regarded as one Of the worst of its kind,
and appears now, much to tho satisfaction Of
the residents of the neighborhood, to be on
tirely broken up. Liant and his wife were
each fined $50 and costs, and sentenced to
thirty days imprisonment in the City Prison
Mary Jane Williams was deemed guilty of
vsgrancy and also sent to the City Prison for
thirty days, while Mary Lawler was dis
charged. -'r} -.4

ACCIDENT ON THE OHIO AND MISSISSIPPI
RAILROAD "A SLEEPING CAR FILLED WITH
PASSENGERS THROWN OVER BAHK.-The
train on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad,
which left this city on Monday evening last,
met with an accident few miles this side of
0sgood Station. The sleeping car attached to
the train, by some means-the particulars Of
which we are unable to learn--was thrown
from the track, over bank about ten feet
high, and very badly crushed,
It contained at the time about fifty passen-
gers--several of them women who were
thrown from their berths, and tossed about the
car, to an, extent which was anything but
agreeable. All the passengers were more or
less injured, but none of them were severely
injured. The accident detained the train for
some time, but, with the exception of the loss
of -she car, no serious damage was sustained.
