REcoRDRRls CoURT.--Our friend, Recorder
Nelson, had good run of custom yester-
day. 1t is manif st that Christmas, though
.reckoned unusually quiet, has had a pecu-
liar effect upon some of our citizens. Too
much egg nog, we fear. as the unusual
number of drunks would indicate. Five
DRINKS of various shades and with divers
concomitants, claimed His Honor's atten-
ton, and the city treasury was en- riched
by that many dollars, and the Recorder
reaped a reasonable reward for his labor.
Thomas Peck and George Mobiles, two
lads of II years, both employed in driving
grocery express wagons, imbibed too much
" egg nog," very treacherous drink, and
become hilorious, and the latter even OBJ
livious. to the proprieties of life, and be-
haved unseemly. Their thoughtIess con-
duct cost them SIS 05 each, and should prove
a warning to them, that Injuries are ex-
pensive, and that egg nog is a dangerous
drink t..,..., q, l...,-=5s ~. m
Next came VIM. Inwright, who had an
ticipated Christmas and got drunk on the
2lst. He was arrested and sent to jail, but
upon the solicitation of his friends he was
turned out, on his promise to call at the
Captains Office and settle. This promise
he neglected to fulfill, and yesterday he
was brought up with round turn and re-
quired to fork . to the tune of 81 2O-an
illustration that the way of the trans
gressor is hard. !" y ,-.,
John Dugan also got drunk and behaved
ina disorderly manner, for which he fell
to the amount of "a IS.
Last of all came Michael Cleary, who, in
his celebration of Christmas, over-stepped
the bounds of propriety and succumbed to
King Alcohol, and had to liquidate in the
sum of 81 IS. Ut ~ IS ta,-Hi.i n
BEFORE JUSTICE STINsoN.- VIM. Saber-
ton, the wife whipper, who has figured
pretty extensivelyin the police reports,
and who, it is needless to say, is in no wise
related, except in name, which he dis
graces, to our excellent fellow-citizen, Will
liam Saberton, the drayman, has again
been indulging in his ungallant and de-
testible pastime. On Wednesday night he
beat his wife, and yesterday he had a hear
ing before Justice Stinson on a warrant for
surety of the peace, and was bound in the
unable to file the requisite bond, he was
sent to Jail. He should be sent to the peni-

BEFORE JUSTICE WALKER. = Yesterday
VIM. Meyer, whose gallant deeds we re-
corded yesterday morning, was arraigned
before Justice Walker on a charge of as
sault and battery, with intent to kill, per-
petrated on the person of Mrs. Fred. Ele-
kofer, by beating her with brass knuclls.
He was held in $500 bond to answer, and
went to Jail.
CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN SABBATH
SCHOOL CELEBRATIoN--We yesterday re-
ceived pressing invitation to attend the
holiday festival of the Sabbath School
connected with the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church of this city, which was held
at Masonic Hall. We accepted, of course,
and upon arriving at the Hall, found it
well filled with the Sabbath school schol-
airs, teachers, and friends. The School
numbers about one hundred scholars, and
we presume all were present; and it was
cheering sight to behold the many smiling
faces, radiant with the anticipation of
good time-and a good time they did have.
The exercises were opened by a beautiful
song by the School, accompanied on the
piano by Prof. Genung. Rev. Mr.. Bowden
then offered up fervent prayer, render
ing thanks for all the matchless mercies
which had been vouchsafed during the
year, and for the many pleasing evidences
of the Blessed influences of Sabbath
Schools, and imploring the continuance
of the Divine favor, the blessing of Hea-
ven, to rest upon the officers, the teachers.
and the scholars, and upon the Church
and the city, with all her charitable and
elevating institutions. After this, another
song was sung, and the music was very
fine.
Gen. Shackelford then announced the
programme for ful Their operations. He
said the order of things were to be reversed
to-day. 1t was customary for children to
wait till the second table, but onthis occa-
sion the grown people would wait and the
children would be served first. Four spa
scious tables were arranged in the Hall,
loaded with the most tempting fviands-
cold turkey, chicken, boiled ham, nice
bread and butter, biscuit, and butter, hot
biscuit, pickles, popcorn, apples, delicious
coffee for the grown folks, and many other
dellcacies. The different Glasses were ar
ranged around the various tables, at a dis
tance to allow the walters to pass between
them and the table, and each child was
helped to a liberal portion of all they saw
before them, thus all sharing alike, the
rich and the poor. 1t was delightful re-
past, and was enjoyed by the children with
much gusto. There being ample room q
few preferred guests were seated at one
end of the table, and did ample Justice tol
the manificent provisions prepared by the
excellent ladies of the Church.. 1t was
scene of genuine social enjoyment, and the
best kindly feeling prevailed p p ~, . !,
After the children were ssufdeed, the
adults found ample provisions left for all,
and all entered heartily upon the duties
before them. 1t was one of the most pleas
anti occasions we have participated in
