A DIssIpATED HERoINE.-An individual
dressed In the uniform of cavalry soldier
created an immense excitement among the
Bohemians about town yesterday and last
nightly spending an extraordinary amount
Of money at the saloons and other places Of
resort where idlers most do congregate.-
In the language of the advertisements,
"money was no object" to this parsonage,
who was regarded ss a perfect prodigy of
fastness and liberality. While doing the
honors to large party in fashionable sa
loon, some one discovered that the reckless
youth was a female, and an officer was
about to arrest her, but the charming
girl had made too many friends in
her short career, and they assisted her in
making good her escape from the clutches
of the officer and the disgrace Of the Station
House. This gay young creature, who Is as
beautiful as she appeared to be reckless, and
is said to be the wife Of a public officer in a
neighboring city, enlisted in one Of the reg
iments returning to the 'front.' and stopped
here 10 havea time spending her bounty
money. The cause Of her singular conduct
and her startling recklessness, whetherdo-
mestic infelicity or natural predisposition
to the sensational and wicked, is mystery
as yet unlathomed by those who have had
the bestopportunities OF becoming acquaint-
ed with the woman.

STREET Row.-A crowd of deprayed We
men who collect nightly in front of gro
cery on High street, near thecomer of Long,
together with a squad of intoxicated SOL
diers, about two dozen in all, created an inn
mense disturbance by their dsordorly con-
duct last night. The police epdeayored to
suppress 1t, but the soldiers, cheered on by
the women, defeated the first party of city
officers, and they were compelled to retire
for reinforcements. The soldiers having
their fighting spirit up, pitched into and
knocked down two citizens passing by the
grocery. The officers repeated the attack
in greater force, when most of the soldiers
speedily retired, leaving the women and
one or two soldiers to be carried off by the
police. 1.at itr. tw HHt
