~On Monday afternoon . boy named
Parr assaulted some of the children be-
longing 20 the coiored school, on Jefferson
street, when = coiored lad about his own
size came TO tEeiy rescue, and drove him
away. Soon aaerward Pa-S re-appeared
aad threw stoae at the children, when
but vecturing too near thei. house, which
was close al haad. the Parr assaulted and
heat him il shs most shameful manner.
The poor fellows head was badly iacerated
h. stone, aod was covered with blood.
Yesterday morning Justice Marble issued
:. warrant for young PARIS arrest, and
placed it in the IA ads OF the Deputy Mar
:.hai, but upon tae latter repairing TO the
residence OF TIE cu:prits father. and ma
king his business known, Parr requested
him to not take hin into custody. and he
would hinlse.: appear with aiu al the JUS
tees Office il y short time. At this the Of
tcer retired, bu. tas two falling to be on
hand according to agreement. he went in
search ofthesn, but found the boy had disap-
peared.s The guilty party is brother Of
the rowdy who assaulted Bosch last sum-
black boy is soldier. having recently en-
listed as substitute.
Police ITEAs.-Young PAR, who as
saulted the neg-o soldier aad af.e.ward
fed to escape the officers Of the Law, was
arrested yesterday and taken before Es-
quire Marble who sentenced him to thirty
days Imprisonment in the county Jail and
the paymen: os the costs OF prosecution.
The sentence is light enough.
In our remarks relative TO the matter
yesterday we were led to say that the Dep
uty Marshal, who was entrusted with the
warrant t. arrest Parr, did not take him
into custody because his father promised
to appear with him ct court, when the true
reason was, the cuiprit could not be found.
