| was the excitement that itrequiredhi nifty ponce
men to fight the way clear step by step tor
the procession, and it required an hour 20
make the trim, which could have been MADE

Fights, with fists and feet, TOOK pace ali

getting into clinch, which resulted IN theii
appearance in the Police Court next ucy, anu
the aspect Of the whole affair was eminenuy
'49-ish. When the procession arrived AT the
Bank Exchange, such rush was q. nlaue ioI
adn;ss;on that the police had difficulty IN
nTeyentino the windows being smashed and
doors stove in, but the tumult was at last
oneliad and after the speeches had been
made and the wheelbarrow and bunch OF
onions-tbe latter to be rubbed on copper
head eres--had been sold for total OF $53,
the crowd gradually dispersed. Story got the
worst of the Joke in the long run, for New
man perslsted in humping him over every
rouoh spot in the pavement, on the ground
that he had agreed to do the work and he
was bound not to shirk, BY running the Wheei
in the railroad track, and his seat was not 70

II is reported that he has not been aole 70

but don't vouch for the entire truth OF the

Trimmed little last night, and only lit
tie, but the clouds to-day look dnmp-the
barometer is going down slowly and there is
reason to hope that the deluge is coming.
God send it soon! We have waited long in

dry California up like an old shoe, and set
the tide of emigration Eastward like river

Little Skillet Fork of the Wabash" l am
not one of the croakers, however, who be,

am confident that Providence will give US
show in the long run, even II we wait for II
for months yet to come.
THE TELEGRAPH SALE.
Some little stir has been occasioned here
within the week by the transfer on the books
Of the State Telegraph Company of 1850
shares Of its stock to New Workers, the
amount sold being sixty shares over half the
stock of the company, or controlling inter
est. The purchase is made, as understand,
by the New Workers in behalf of the Associ-
ated Telegraph Company Of that city, and
hereafter the concern will be managed by the
New Workers as a part of the great telegraph
system of the continent. The interests dis
posed of belonged to Lloyd Teyis, Carpenter
and others. The interests held BY Messrs.
MacCrellish and Woodward, of the AkG, are,
l understand, still held by them.
SHORT WORK WITH THIEVES.
The police Of our city seem to have adopt
ed new system with regard to thieves and
burglars who are caught committing crimes
and attempt to resist or escape. A few weeks
since, officer Coulter and others, seeing three
notorious thieves going along with bags I'M
der their arms, at 3 o'clock in the morning,
called on them to stop, and not being obeyed,
| gave them cold lead, as they deserved. One
Of the thieves got bullet in his arm and an
other IN his leg, and all were captured. They
had Just committed burglary, as it turned
out, and but for this promptness on the part
Of the officers, they would never have been
convicted. As it was, two of them went to
! the States Prison, and the third-to Lone
Mountain Cemetery. On Tuesday morning
last, two notorious jayhawkers, being caught
by officer Richard Horton IN the act Of pick
ing quarrel with drunken man in order to
rob him, knocked the officer down and run
away. When he got to his feet he fired four
shots at his assailantS, and the result was
that one of them got a bullet through his
body, which will probably put an end to his
performances in the jayhawking line. The
plan is little rough, but works beautifully
in the long run. Adios, AMIGO.
