ALADY, evidently ignorant Of the ways of
the world and the rise and progress of hui
man life. made her appearance at the rail-
road depot on Sunday afternoon, just prior
to the departure of the train, purposing a
visit to some friends in the interior. She
took seat with other passengers in the
cosy reception room of the depot, and waited
with cOmmendable patience, with the rest for
the starting Of the train. Very suddenly
she rose from her seat with the fearful ex-
clamation, I've got the cholera p clasping
her hands firmly over the abdomen, and ex-
hibiting the widest alarm. There was Of
course, great CONSERVATION among her fell
low-passengers. Twoor three sympathetic
ladies placed her softly on a sofa, and began
applying such external remedies as suggest
cd themselves. In a few minutes however,
this unfortunate victim of supposed cholera,
was relieved by the birth of a beautiful
healthy child. Just then the train backed
down, and soon moved of.-the lady conclu-
ding to postpone her visit for few days.
A JEW DIFFICULTY Yesterday three
familieso Of Jews, by the names of TOBIAS,
ABRAMS and LEVI were before Recorder |
WILKINSON. 1t seems that they are all en-
gagged in the mercantile business on Broad |
street, and that the difficulty that caused |
their arrest arose from the efforts made by |
one to take the others customers. Some |
persons were in the storehouse Of the LEWIS |
trading, when the ABRAMS endeavored to |
induce them 10 leave and go into their
store by saying that the former were thieves,
etc. This caused sharp words and a mu-
tual fight in epithets followed ADRIAN gets
scared, as he swears, and has the LEWIS ar
rested on peaee-warrant. The LEWIS in
turn had the ABRAMS arrested for abuse, |
etc. After thorough examination, the
elder ABRAMS and LEVI were fined $50 |
each.
