Afan Os~s1oaTd commotion was
created on board the steamer Schultz last
Saturday, on her return trip from Drewry's
Bluff, by the startling cry Of imam over
board" One Of the passengers, while sitting
near the bow, fell asleep and accidentally
tumbled into the river in front Of the paddle
wheel. Fortunately he sunk too deep into
the water to be struck by the wheel, and thus
escaped being crushed. The cry startled the
ladies, who screamed and became almost
frantic at the condition Of thc unfortunate
man. In the meantime the steamer was
brought to, boat was lowered, and quick as
thought two stalwart servants were giving
way on their oars with might and main.
After short pull they came up with the
imam Of their search" and gathering him
up, soon had him ON the deck Of the Schultz,
only little the worse for his unexpected
plunge. The officers of the boat deserve
great credit for their promptness on this oc-
casion, and too much credit cannot be award
ed the servants that manned the boat.

Stealing Hogs-Swine cultivatore in this
city and Its vicinity have been In state Of
great excitement for some time past, be-
cause of the fact that unauthorized parties,
pretending to be agents of the Government,
have been traversing the suburbs with carts
and wagons, gathering up all the hogs they
could catch, and in some instances being
rude and insolent to ladies who objected to
the seizure Of their pet porkers. So great
had become the alarm among the raisers Of
hogs that many Of them are slaughtering
their stock, and others are selling off at half
price to prevent q total Loss. On Saturday
aastth Mayor called the attention of his pO-
lice to this new species Of deprclations,
and, after pronouncingth operators "hog
thieves" acting without Government au-
thority and on their own responsibility, d.
rected them to be arrested and brought be-
fore him. The Government has issued no
order to rob helpless families Of the little
pork they have been enabled to raise from
their kitchen ofial, and until It does SO, which
win not be this century, every man has q
right to defend his property, even though 1t
may be necessary to resort to the admins
tratlon Of buckshot Let hog laiscrs be no
longer alarmed, but defend themselves and
their property against depredat0rs.
