ASSAULT AND BArTEE1.-A case of assault
and SaItery was brought before Judge TIL
den yesterday afternoon, in which two
women living near the Rolling Mills were
the parties. These divine women have
been al Ioggerheads, sad TO say, the last
years. Their names are-let US orns-
ment our page with them, as the poets
say-Ellen Curlie and Mary Mcguire, both
married, we believe, the former at any
rate. The original quarrel arose out of a
pint Of skim milk, as the testimony shows.
Mary sold Ellen a pint of milk which the
latter said was skim milk, and not fresh.
1t wouldn't raise cream, but it could raise
8 rich old quarrel. They wrangled, and
waged a bitter war of words. Ellen st
length insinuatsd that Mary was not as
chsste ss-well, the Roman Lueretia, or
the Hydrologic Diana, or common ice--in
fact she declared that Mary was q strum-
pet. Whereupon the latter resented the
charge, and had Ellen tried for SANDER.
Ellen triumphed, We understand. Time
wOro Oh, and recently this brace Of heaven
ly minded females met in an alley, looked
daggers at each other, we suppose, and passed
It stole out of the evidence, that they had
no sooner passed than Ellen carelessly lot
clip q certain mar observation,
whereat Mary laughed in q provoking man
ner. Ellen was incensed at her levity and,
picking up q piece of brick, asssiled Mary
and struck her several times on the back of
the head, tearing up the scalp quite badly.
Mary thought this was getting back to alb
original times, and determined to bring
Ellen TO justice. The effort was made yes
terday. j. F. Ryder, Esq appeared for
plaintiff and Loren Prentiss, ESQ.,, for de-
PENDANT. Ellen was fined five dollars and
costs, and bound over to keep the pescs one
year from date. Having no green backs
wherewith to pay the bill she was escorted
to the jail, mad and pouting at the result of
the trial, and looking as if she could dispose
of Mary with Just fourteen m~outhsfuI.
ATABLEAU.-A laughAble thing, notwith-
standing the serious and bloody aspects of
the case, happened among the Irish on
ChampIain or Canal street q few days ago,
uhloh eame 20 light yesterday in the PaliOa
Court proceedings. A large and valuable
hog, which had probably escaped from q
train of swine, or from one of the slaughter
house yards near the city, was vending his
way at his own sweet will down said street,
when the envious, greedy eyes of Mrs.
Mary Lsmerie espied it, and instantly en-
larged to the size of ssucers. She hastened
into the street, and after infinite labor sue
ceeded in getting his hogship into her pen.
Returning TO her house 10 exult over the
prize and rest her weary bones, she began
to chuckle over her good fortune. Going
put to the pen q short time a~fterwsrd, the
hog was gone. He had struck tent and de-
camped a Ia the Arabs. He had gone down
the street still farther, when, OPP
posite Mrs. Catherine Crstty's house,
he filed the dilsted eye of that matron.
She, too, in turn, shut him up. Soon Mrs.
Larsmie came sweeping down the road
INK a yo~ne Ol~iaaad her faqi-
tive chattel. Mrs. Crafty was not able to
see the validity of the claim, and stoutly
defended her waif. Mrs. L. ran home and
got an ak, with which she attempted to
break open the pen. But Mrs. Crafty in
terfering, Mrs. L. few at her with the ak
and cut her face quite badly.
ltmsy be imagined that all this was not
done in silence. ALI the street had run to-
gether at the scene of cor flict, and soon the
police appeared and marched the danes off
to the Station House. The hog was then
let out and put in the pound. These amia-
BILE females were yesterday fined two dol
lars and costs, each, for disturbance, hsv-
ing lost their hog as well as their tenn
per.
