Oar streets on Thursday afternoon OF
last week were h scene Of a knock
down fight IN o BETTING t h g Five
Points Of New York than a quiet coun-
try village. On that DAY there were IN
Town about forty substitutes, and perhaps
half as many brokers, all or nearly all OF
whom were to all appearances the low
est of the New York roushs. While a
party of them were drinking soda in Mr..
Chapman's drug store, Mr.. VIM. Hunt,
colored barber resident here, entered
for the purpose of asking one Of them to
pay a small sum owing him for dickey,
The Roughs saluted Mr.. Hunt after the
manner of their class, which Mr.. Hunt

his money, however, d then, instead
of going about bis business, remained
bandyng words with I b z party until it
came TO blows, three or four of them at
lacking him at the door and in the street.
Before the belligerents could be sePerat-

assisting at stopping the row, VIM. Met

Roughs, hearing threats Of prosecution,

as possible, summoned posse to his aid
and started in pursuit, n d before an
hour had elapsed captured four of the
party and the principals. An examna-
lion was had on Friday morning before
J'stice Churchill, W two of them
were fned fifteen dollars and costs, one
I'VE dollars, aud the fourth was discharg-
ed, the evidence not being conclusive as
to his active participation. This is aR,jt
for private damages, which W a 8 finally
settled by the payment of n hundred
dollars and costs. The p art y had al
ready settled with Mr.. Metcalf by the
payment to him of forty dollars, making
the whole amount about two hundred
dollars, which t b G y considered pretty
"steep" business, in as much as similar
amusement in New York never cost them
but five dollars. We hope il will prove
