Ry- There WAS considerable "scrim-
maging,' in New Orleans on Christ
mas night. Rlo,ing and tumult were
the means resorted to by some of the
intractables for celebrating the day. A
number were knocked down, Others
wounded, and but for the courage and
determination of the police force, the
public peace and tranquility would
have suffered vastly more. The jails
are crowded with the offending parties
arrested by the police and the Courts
are busy trying the many cases
brought up before them. The rioters
will be apt to realize that "the way Of
the transgressor is hard" by the time
they shall have reaped their just de-
serts. sF r..-tt.|
Apart from the warning scenes
and disturbances above alluded to-
Christmas day was attended with
many pleasing observances in the
city. Business places were closed
early, except where toy and fancy
articles were for sale, all of which
were thronged, as were also the
streets, by the gay and cheerful.
The churches too were all well filed,
and sumptuous tables abounded, rem
dering enjoyment and receiving hon.
age as the occasion merited and de-
manded.

TERRIBLE AND Sw1FT JUsr1cE.
few days since Mrs. Heady, who lives
in Union county, KY, had sold hsl
land and received some eight hun.
dred or thousand dollars in cash. A
day or two after she had received
the money, a travelling stranger called
late 10 the evening, and desired TO gel
lodging for the night. The lady de.
ciined, but the stranger insisted, aud
Mrs. Heady consented to let him re-.
main over night.
At the usual hour for retiring, the
stranger proceeded up stairs to bed.
Late in the night he was aroused by
the lady of the house, who told him
that there were three or four persons
trying TO break into the house, and
she believed they were robbers, who
had come there for the purpose OF
robbng her of her money.
The stranger arose seized his pistol,
told her TO go down stairs and open
the door when he told her, and to get
behind the door as she opened it, and
that be would defend her. Placing
himself so that he could see by the
light of the door when any one en-
tered, he gave the word, the lady
opened the door, and in rushed man,
who no sooner placed his foot ON the
door than be fell dead by q bullet
from the strangers pistol.
A second man rushed in and fell
dead by. the second shot. The third
appeared aud was severely wounded
by the third shot, and turned and ran
of, leaving trace Of blood behind
him.
The men who had been killed
were BACKED, and, when the backing
bad been washed off their faces, Mrs.
Heady recognized with horror her own
son-in.law as one of the men, and the
other was near neighbor and friend
Il was believed that the m ouuted
man was her own son. We did not
learn the names OF the parties killed,
nor that Of the stranger, who so prov
identialIy appeared to save the lady,
her money. and perhaps her life.--
