SrADD1NG ArrAIR.-The Fourth ofJuly
here was the occasion Of a most barberous
display OF brutality. In and arounl the groc
shops in town it was one continuous row
ending with dangerous if not fatal stab
inflicted upon the person Of Fried Rems-
heidi, by some person unknown. Suspicion
points to one Timothy Cavanaugh as the
person who did the deed, and the sheriff
has arrested that individual. We forbear
to comment on the nature Of the evidence
againse him, for he may lie innocent, and
we do not wish to prejudice the rights OF
any man. If he is guilty We hope he will
suffer the full penalty Of the laws if he is
innocent, we hope the guilty enc will soon
be found.
In our Judgment the responsibility for the
whole affair rests with two individuals
Cne is that person who went around the
city seeking to provoke quarrcls, and the
other is Whiskey.

ton by Messrs Smith & Dickinson of

severe hail storm passed over this city.
1t lasted put short time, but while ii
did last it was decidedly sweet: the

fell in torrents, accompanied with hail

size. Fears were entertained at the
time, that damage would be done tc
the growing crops; but after careful in.
|qniry we have come to the conclusion
that it did not reach far back from the
river, and did not do much damage.

Con. Butler as a Young Lawyer.


In the Norfolk Daily Union biography
or history Of Maj. Gen. Butler is being pub
lished, which Is exciting some notice. The
sketches, an extract from one of which We
give, are evidently written by "a gentleman
from Lowell, who must DO well acquainted
with "Ben," and are decidedly OF handed
and spicy. Those Of our ueighboring city
who have long known the General. are well
acquainted with many Of the incidents re-
lated. After giving m account Of tho
shrcwd dodge resorted to in the acquittal OF
counterfeiter, Zone Of "Ben's" cases) and
the ridiculous figure cut by Butler on the
street in Wrestling him from the hands Of n
constable, the writer goes on to say:
at 30 happened that one of the editors oil
the Lowell Courier was present on this occa.
sion, and witnessed both scenes Of the farce.
The same evening column Of the Courier
was devoted to Butler, describing in humor.
Gus and sarcastic language his exploits Of the
forenoon at the court house. The next morn.
ing Butler appeared in the sanctum of tho
Courier, armed with formidable raw hide,
and demanded of Col. Schouler, the senior
editor Of tho paper-now Adjutant General
of Massachusctts-the name OF the author OF
the offensive article.
III am not accustomed to reveal the au.
thorship of any portion Of the original mat.
ter which appears in my paper" replied the
Colonel. 81 hold myself, however, person
ally responsible for the whole of it,"
"lf you wish S, very much to know the
authority of that article, wrote 1t, Mr.
Butler" meekly intcrposcd tho youthful as
sistant editor, turning round from his desk
at the opposite side of the room.
al suppose you did, you - scoundrel,
screamed Butler. brandishing his raw hide
"and I've come up here to thrash you within
an inch of your life, unless you promise to
publish in this evenings paper humble
apology for it,"
al shall do no such thing" replied the as
sistant editor, II have nothing to retract,
nothing to apologize for"
"Then take that! :" shouted the irate at
torney, bringing down his raw hide.
The assistant editor, dodging the badly
aimed blow, seized the just filed inkstand
from the desk and let ay. It struck Ben on
the breast, bespattering his bosom and face
to degree his antagonist could hardly have
hoped for.
Just then the door Of the printing Office
opened, Ben was seized by half dozen stou:
printers, hustled down stairs, and with tat.
tered hat, face smeared with ink, and torn
coat, elected into the street."
