A FIGHT.-A broad-shouldered, red
shirted deck hand from one of the pack
cts, and stalwart gentleman from Ian.
guebar, got into friendly fight on tn,
levee last night. By adroit movements
they ran their heads and different por
tons of their corporosities against each
others fists and boots tolerably hard
The scrimmage waxed warmer as it pro.
crossed, until the finale assumed the 'sit.
uation" described in the following epic
which we quote;
They clnched like two rampagious bears,
And each fell on his sit
They wore stream of six-inch oaths,
Andfit and fit, and fit.
The mud flew. the shy grew dark
And all tn liten ms lit;
And still the m critters rolled about.
And fit, and fit and fit.
For m les around the noise was heard,
Folks couldn't sleep BIZ,
Because the two cantankerous ohaps
Still fit, and fit and fit.

THE CATHOLIC ARoHBIsHoPRlc. 1t is
to be rule in the Catholic Church for
each Archbishop to send TO the Pope of
Rome three names from which a success
or may be chosen in the event of va
cancy, and from them the Pope, with the
advice of his Council, seects one, unless
there should be weighty reasons to the
contrary. The new Philadelphia paper,
the Telegraph, says it appears that Bish-
OPP Timon, of Buffalo, whose noble letter
ON the rebellion will be remembered was
named as, and will be, the successor of
the late Archbishop Kenrick, OF Balti-
more. The names supposed to have been
transmitted to Rome by Archbishop
Hughes include Bishop Fitzpatrick, of
this city; Bishop Bailey, of Newark
Bishop Wood, of Philadelphia; Bishop
Spaulding, of Kentucky, and Dr. STAIRS,
Vicar General of New York. OF course,
the supposition can be correct with re-
gard to only three of the names at most.
