Fight at Tennellytown,

A fight occurred at Tennellytown night be.
fore last, which had its origin in a sergeant of
the sixth Pennsylvania regiment becoming in
toxicated, and getting into fight, for which
he was elected by the barkeeper, Jas. Collins,
bers of the regiment soon oongregated at the
place, threatening to tear the house down.
One of them was about to stab the barkeeper
with bowie knife, when several bystanders
assumed such serious proportions that 1t was
found necessary to call out three companies Of
the third Pennsylvania regiment to enforce
order. The officer of the night several times
gave orders to fire, which, if they had been
obeyed, would probably have led to oonsidera-
BILE loss of life. Order was finally restored, but
the dsaffect tied men still threaten to wreak sum.

"wh.n Rosue. Fan one, Ao.

That inviting locality known as "Swampoo.

its FORMER state Of semi .barbariy y-at least, the
numerous arrests made during the day would
such to be the fact. Among the others arrested
during the day, was a venerable. .lookin lady
by the name Of Mrs. Margaret Fitzgerald, whole
peculiar penchant seems to have been, to take
that which don't belong to her. On this occa.
Mrs Ellen Fitzgerald, with purloining two pill.
lows Of feathers from the last mentioned lady.
The venerable Margaret was accordingly waited
upon by Ofacer Leach, In manner peculiar to
informed her that the pleasure Of her company
was greatly desired W the ofice Of Justice
johnson, before whose august presence she
soon appeared, followed by the more juvenile
Ellen, who also occupied n part Of the came
domicile. From the evidence ln the case, II
soon became evident that the pillows had been
loane to Margaret by Ellen which fact being
proven, the accused was discharged
But now came the "tug Of war;" Ellen, not
disposed to be thus cheated Of her victim, i'm.
mediately preferred another charge against
the erring Margaret-this time accusing her of
stealing u silver spoon and several china plates
from the National Hotel, about year since, at
which time she was regularly employed there.
A search warrant was accordingly issued, and
the goods found in the house after which the
proprietors Of the hotel were sent for, who re.
cognized the goods as being their property.
1t WAS now discovered that the old lady had
placed them there In charge Of Ellen, who knew
them to have been stolen.
1t now became Eens turn to assume the de
fensive-who plead, in extenuation of her Of.
fence that she had consulted n priest in rela.
tion to the matter, who had advised her to re.
turn the property to its owners, but she had
not done so, for fear her mother.in.law might
lose her place. II II were not that she had stolen
them ; and therefore the advice of the holy
father was not regarded.
Justice Johnson, after full hearing Of the
case, decided to make parties-the one RS a
principal and the other as an accessory-to
give security for court.

A Serious Charge.

Daniel Boyle, a soldier who refused to give
the name or number of his regiment, and who
was greatly intoxicated, was arrested yester
day afternoon by officer Hannon, of the Metro.
politan police, upon a charge Of making an ag.
grava'ed assault upon the person Of Mrs.
Patrick Tobin. The offence Is alleged to have
been perpetrated in the residence Of the latter,
in Swampoodle." According to the testimony
of the lady herself, he entered the house in a
very insulting manner, tossing a purse filled
with money on the floor, and making PROPOSE.
tions Of the most indecent character to Mrs. T.,
at the same time advancing towards her, she
retreating into the back part of the house
where she gave the alarm, and he was arrested
as stated above.
Boyle WAS taken to the office of Justice John.
son, where he behaved in the most indecent
manner in the presence of several females, SO
much so as to cause the Justice to send him to
jail on the new charge, even If the original one
was not sustained. After hearing the evi.
dence of Mrs. Tobin, however, he was commit.
ted to jail to await any order the military au.
thoriies might have to make in the matter.

J. D. McCurry, of the thirty seventh New York

whence he was sent to New York, in the early

during the war. The cause of this treatment
is understood to have been the numerous at
