a Row AMONG THE CRINoLTNE.-Juse
about the hour of high noon, this blessed
day, tall female suddenly appeared in
front of the Bank Exchange and made
hurried and earnest inquiry for the Mar
shall. In her normal state this lady may,
have been beautiful, but at this moment
her face, distorted by weeping, looked rs
though it had been washed in tubful of
sorrow and anger, and been wrung out
without much care. She was directed TO
the Marshsl's Office, and thereunto did
straightway HE with the speed of the an
telope and the ferocity of the female rhi-
noceros. To that Temple of Justice she
was speedily followed BY two other ladies
Of similarly perturbed countenanee, their
charms being somewhat enhanced by more
ornate apparel. Eager to lsarn the history
of the Amazonian civil war, of which these
three in hoops were evidently the suryi-
vors, we joined the admiring throng who
crowded the Police Court. The sobs and
wailingS of the first conner, poured forth IN
incoherent yelps, denoted her to be the
complainant, and the elamorous denials OF
the other two proclaimed them joint de-
PENDANTS. To Sam Arnold, the three did
themselves address, Supposing judicial
powers to be vested in that individual.
As all three talked at once it was not easy
TO understand clearly the caS1ts 6eilI, and
we abandoned ourself to the ascertaInlns
the result; which was that Sam Arnold
sent them packing homeyard, with coun-
sci to preserve the peace and dignity,
threatening in case of breach thereof to
put the whole three in the Station-house.
They did thereupon skyugle mcontinent.
SAM WELLS Speaking of the melan-
choly death of this favorite singer and es-
teemed social companion, the Union of this
morning says: His last request was, that
his body should be taken to San Fran
cisco, and buried at Lone Mountain &C.
metery and that his Minstrel companions
should accompany it to that bourne. In
accordance with his dying wish, yesterday
his heart-sick companions, folded up their
wardrobes, and started for the Bay. This
morning Sans body followed by the
Fast Freight line. 1t is expected that his
funeral will take place next Sabbath from
Calvary Church. San Francisco. Peace
TO the ashes of the Minstrel His 6GSso
profiEHdo voice will never greet our ears
again. But let us hope that he has joined
a Minstrel Troupe in another sphere, and
is to-day singing grand anthems of praise,
with the myriads gone before. A long
farewell to Sam AFTER ife'S ftful
fever, he sleeps WELL"
