reporter visited Mr.. Beechers house in Brook

day morning, on charge of perjury. 1t ap-
pears that they had been, arrested some time
ago for some oflense, and after their release had
issued warrant against one of the officers OF the

FAST DRIvINe.-John Ottmger, who is a
very fast man in some respects, was arrested
for fast driving. II appears from all accounts
that John had a country wagon under his care,
and drove his team in furious manner through
the streets. of this quiet city yesterday after
noon. In his headlone career he ran pell.mell
into q coal cart, breaking the axletree of the
latter For this, John was arrested and taken

STREET FIGHTS.-As the cold weather
comes on, the boys must have some outdoor
sport to warm their blood and TO quicken the
circulation. When this desire expends itself in
playing baseball il is not very reprehensible,
pitched battles, with stones and bricks for mis-
sles, 1t Is rather dangerous sport. Two gangs
of young fellows, whose ages ranged from
eleven to fourteen years. were engaged in
furious stone-fght Washington street,
between Fourth and Fifth, yesterday afternoon,
after school hours, when the police made an
onslaught upon them and captured eight of
their number. They were taken before Alder
man Lutz, and were all committed to answer.

WHO STOLE THE HAMp--The story says
Johnny" But johnny did not do so in this
Sarah Brown, yesterday afternoon. 1t was quite
a remarkable case as she told it. 1t appears that
she was walking along Poplar street, near
Eighth; her dress, owing TO some peculiar mag
netic influence drew from the top of barrel u
luscious ham, which attached itself to the gar
ment and followed her down the street. The
proprietor of the store, not believing in such
miracle, had Sarah arrested and taken before
Alderman Fitch. That gentleman, not believing
in spiritual rappings, committed the wonderful
lady in default OF $500 bail for larceny.

GENERAL CHARLES G. HALP1NE ("Miles
O'Reilly" J, gallant soldier Of the U. s.
volunteer army in the late war, in his paper,
the New York Citizen, of the 18th inst, ex-
presses the belief that proposition will be
made at the Convention of Soldiers and
Sailors, now in convention at Cleveland, to
regard the meeting as only gathering for
the purpose Of devisibg and establishing
some form Of systematic organization thro'-
out the Union, and for holding an adjourn
ed Convention, either at Washington or
Wheeling, to which all ex-soldiers and sail
ors of the late Confederate States will be in
vited
This viii be sustained on the ground that
it was the politicians of both sections who
led the country blindfold into the recent
civil war; and that, for this reason, 1t is
time the men who bore the brunt of the
csnfict on either side, should meet as
friends and lay down terms to avoid all
difficulties in the fulure-Banner.

Cholera in Nashville.

The Baaner of Tuesday puts quietus to
the absurd reports which had been in cir
oulation up To that time concerning cholera
in Nashville. The editor took the trouble
to enquire of the sections of the different
cemeteries, and of the undertakers, and OBJ
tanned from them information which must
be reliable. From the 10th to the 18th
there were only seventy interments. On
the 18th 81, on the 18th Sc, and on the
18th 43.
Now these reports of rs or 100 deaths a
day are not only foolish but absolutely
wicked. II so many people die, where are
they buried? Are they thrown into the
river, or are they permitted to moulder
above ground? We submit to a candid,
rational public if such an idea is not pre-
posterous in the extreme. Have done with
these silly rumors, then. The scOurge is
bad enough in all conscience without mag
nifying four fold by these street reports.

REvIyAL.-The meeting at the Methodist
Church is still in progress, and up to yes
terday there had been II professions, and
there are 12 mourners still enquiring The
way to be saved. We trust the work may
continue until Pulaski shall be entirely re-
generated. Nine individuals joined the
Methodist Church last Sunday.
The revival is conducted at the Methodist
Church, but has the hearty cooperation Of
the PresbyteTians. Mr.. EwING, the ear
