Seventh and Eighth Warders carrying torches dike
the Minute Men of '69,''} and the Ninth Warders
carrying their usual elegant display of banners
and transparences.
Their purpose was to thoroughly march through
and around their own District, and this thew did:

and as far down as fifteen squares below the rail-

the enthusiasm was bigh..

end of the city, some Of them wearing their club
caps were marching around on the banquettes,
but without music, banners or lights. They drew
up in line on the sidewalk as the Bell clubs
passed, and, with their hats raised, cheered them

Of courtesy and great compliment was responded

rejoiced to this thing, and we could not but
regret that such scenes not more common.
During the march, Alderman John B. Leefe was
serenaded His house was as open as his hand and
heart always are, and great as was the crowd, all
were invited inside and refreshed literally Pleas
ant speeches were made, and the last and the best
we think, was that of old Jordan the drummer,
whose band piloted the Seventh and Eighth Ward
Club. Few persons except those who have heard
Jordan on similar occasions, know how the old
man can speak. At Mr.. Eeefes, the ladies pre-
sented to Judge Duquercron, President of the Sew
enth and Eighth Ward Guard, a huge and magnif
cent bouquet, which one of the little Leefes, with
sodierly stride, carried through the remainder of
4 the march.
At late hour the clubs separated with three
times three for each other and the good cause: and
| the Seventh and Eighth Ward Guard, on returning
to their quarters, sent up cheer after cheer for Bell
and Everett, and three special and rousing cheers
and a tiger for the courteous and gentlemanly

mented them during the march. The Third Dis
trict Bell men "did the thing up brown and will
continue to do SO. ..=-
Last night the Minute Men of go and the Ever
EFT knights, Of the upper part of the city, turned
out and paraded the streets together. People were
at loss which most to admire: the soldery Min
ute Men, going through their quick and orderly
eyolutions Cfor all the world like the Washington
Artillery or the Knights, on their eaparisoned
horses in their uniform of red Turkish caps and red
and orange robes, each man carrying gilt headed
lance. This was the first turn out of the Everett
Knights, and they naturally attracted much atten-
ton and won much admiration M 5a8.5
The Minute Men and knights marched large
circuit Of the CITY, attracting the multitude every
, where, and serenaded and cheered the Crescent
office in a manner which was highly fattering ani
gratifying to US.
The Fossils had their weekly meeting at Odt
2 Fellows Hall. This noble and splendid body o
sensible and patriotic old gentlemen had usua
crowded meeting, which was addressed in stirring
strains by different able and eloquent speakers
: The other clubs, in passing Odd Fellows Hall
halted and paid to the Fossils the hearty compli
ments to which they were entitled.
That elegant and gentlemanly body Of youth
tie Bell Champions, also had meeting; ant
(withont their paraphernalia) walked around il
the moonlight and paid their respects to the
Crescent. =..a." M
The Bell and Everett enthusiasm in this city is
something altogether unsurpassed Let our country
friends visit on the Sd of October; we will show
them sight such as they never saw before.
The STEAMER CREOLE last evening brought over
great crowd of people from the gulf shore water
ing places. -ma1m @.

Fatal AFFRAY. = Enoch Horn, mate of the

J was fatally cut yesterday forenoon on board the
boat by 7. j. Johnson, carpenter of the boat
Johnson cut his left arm and severed the artery
and he afterward bed to DEATH Some one sewed
up the wound, but as the artery was cut, the he
morhage could not be stopped. It is believed
that had the wounded man been promptly and
properly attended to- his life might have been
saved. Johnson was arrested by officers Decoux
and Morano. The Coroner took the preliminary
steps to an inquest last evening. Horn was na-
tive of Maine, IS years Of age.
A GAMBLING Snow BRoKEN Up. = Recorder

kept by one James Duane, on Cont street near the
leyee. He found it to be merely trap.show, the
real business of which was gambling with dice.
Duane was arrested, and admitted to bail of $500
to appear for examination.
Two MES KILLED IN ONE PAIR OF PANTs.-The
body of the man Nell, who was drowned off the
ship Barnabas Webb, few days ago. was re-
covered yesterday. In connection with this ac-
cident, we have the following singular story
Before the ship left Liverpool, the steward fell off
the staging and was killed. His wife, the stew
ardess, remained on board and the pantaloons
in which her husband had his" fatal fall, she
cleaned and put away with his other clothes.
Nell, the cook, was promoted to the office Of
steward, and when he found it necessary to come
ashore at this city, he had no pants to suit, and
the stewardess lent him the pants in which hel
husband had been killed. He transacted his bust
ness on shore, and as he was going aboard the
ship, he fell off the staging and was drowned. Il
is not probable that any person will hereafter put
on that fatal pair of breeches.
