| KILLING IN New BRAuNFELs.-We hear of al
unfortunate ARRAY Which occurred at New Braun
tels, few days since, resulting in the killing o
one ofthe parties. We understand that the part,
who was killed was endeavoring to keep frent
of his out of difficulty which he had gotten int,
| while he was drunk, and was taking him away
when the marshal having heard of the cutting
up came over and undertook to arrest both thu
drunken man and his friend the latter refused tt
be arrested, perssting that he had not done any
thing, but the officer insisted that he should sub
NIT, and while attempting to arrest him the party
drew pistol and fired at him. The officer theI
drew pistol and fired twice. striking him eael
time, and killed him. Our informant did not know
the name of the unfortunate person, but understood
that he was relative of the Malone family, of Sat
Marcos.
RFIGHT.-A party of drunken soldiers, day O,
so ago, got up an impromptu fight among them
selves on the Plaza, and clustered around and
tore up the dirt considerably. Two of them were
arrested and I" deposited " in the Jail, to avail
future events Another one who was drunk was
allowed to go free, as he seemed to be very
innocent genius, enjoying himself hugely ant
afording considerable amusement to the by
ISLANDERS gathered around
The following are from the Galveston Bull
etin
PLAYING MARBLEs.-The editorial columns OF
the Bulletin often contain paragraphs of congrat,
ulation on the healthy condition of the labor
interest Of Texas. In the main the local agrees
with his " chief' in all that he there says but he
must call attention to a small gang of idlers who
cucumber the sidewalks of Church and fremont
streets. These colored individuals devote them
selves assiduously to the highly moral and noble
game of marbles. Their time is misspent and
their example bad, Playing marbles is not con-
trary to the statutes made and provided against
gaming that we are aware Of but these freedmen
could spend their time more probably in going to
preparing to be more useful in life.
MISPLACED CoNFIDENCE.-A passenger Of one of
the steamers from New Orleans on Monday even.
ing, made complaint before our city mayor, that
one of his fellow passengers had his pocket book
and money, amounting to one hundred and forty
dollars, and could not be found. One of the Mer
chants Police was sent in search, who, by the
description given, soon came up with the delin-
quent passenger, who Immediately refunded the
full amount claimed. 1t seems that complainant
had deposited the money with his new made friend
for sate-keeng until they reached their stopping
parties either forgot for time the transaction or
the particular hotel which he was to stop at.
PRIZE fIGHT,-The prize fight took place yes
terday, somewhere near the Gulf Verandah, and
was not ey n good sport, according to the defini-
ton of it current in fighting circle. Harris was
the smaller man by thirty pounds-and .only sue
ceeded in striking his antagonist twice. He was
crully beaten by Big Mike in nine rounds, occupy
ing eleven minutes. The fight was terminated by
some sort of technical foul play that we do not
understand. The question of the prize money is
to be referred to the editor Of the New York Clip
per for decision.
