dict Semon.-Nxrgaret PAWN, resident of
jail AlIey, was committed in default Of surety
to keep the peacs towards G. w. Thomas.
The latter, in passing the locality above re.
ferred TO, yesterday morning, found Pawn
and another woman fighting, and carried them
before the Mayor. PAWN made herself ridicu-
lous by reviling His Honor, and applying to
him the misnomer of being an old 1rishuan.
She also sung "Dixie" at the top of her voice.
The hnbbub in the Mayors office was not qui.

highest pitch, and roared out in s'entorian
voice, take that woman away The deter
mined female, however, continued her noisy

upon. If battalion Of our ladies could be
placed upon the deck of . etaunch gunboat,

the soul of Erricson or Worden than forty
thousand Armstrong guns.

men Of varying stature. A short woman, for
instance, in striving to get up in the world,
! forgets that she looks top-heavy; while u tall
woman, endesvoring to preserve her advAn-
tAgs over her inferior, forgsts that che looks
| ridiculous. Indeed, achaPter might be writ:
