MORE THAN HE BARGAIN FoR.-As
three Irishmen were passing by Felt's shop
near the foot of Exchange street yesterday,
one OF them took peach from the stand. Mr..
Felt observed it and rushing out coared the
fellow and charged him with the ofense, which
was stoutly denied by all three OF them. Felt
held on TO his man until he produced the
peach, and then he ordered him TO pay for it,
There WAS not money enough among all three
to do that; but they finally borrowed some
pennies of Murphy and settled. The fellow
who stole the peach then expressed his deter
mination to give Felt "a devil of whipping"
and pulled off his coat for that purpose. Felt
had no disposition to fight and commenced
backing out; but, upon the other following
him up and catching him by the collar, be
turned to and gave the fellow such whipping
as he will not forget for some time. The by
ISLANDERS prevented the other two from inter
