heard bsf1re Alderman Vincent:
A pretty young lady who attends marke
and An Irish W oman were arrested by ofiice
Jones, last Friday afternoon, charged with dis
order In the public streets. The case caused
great excitement, and . large crowd, both
male and female, attended the officer with
those arrested to the Alderna Office. Upon
their appearance before the Alderman, Mr..
Cornelius Fipps, the clerk of the market, con-
tended that the officer had no right to arrest
only when called in by him-that he had con-
| troll over sail matters that occurred in the
| market. The officer contended that he had a
right TO make the arrest. That the police
were empowered to arrest persons guilty OF
| committing disorder in the public streets
The Alderman justified the officer in his course,
asserting he had a perfect right tn make the
arrest. Upon examining into the case the
circumstances proved to be as follows The
officer testified that he was informed that dis
order was occurring in Market street, and upon
going to the place, found thu two ladies In an
alteration, the crowd blocking up the street,
and one complained that the other had IL rown
an egg in her face. Mrs. - upon being
examined testified that she had purchased
some eggs OF the defendant, when finding a
cracked one, she eDdeavored to return IL aud
get sound one, when the defendant took it
up and threw it into her lace. Mrs. -,
pointing to Her face and neck. showed where
the yek re manned, adhering to her, and that
II had run over, and damaged her dress. An:
other witness confirmed the testimony of Mrs.
-. 1t was proved also that Miss - =
offered to take the eggs back, but the teslino-
ny confiicted as to whether she offered 10 take
them back before or after the egg was thrown
by her, and true that she offered 10 take them
back afterwards. The young lady confessed
to the throwing OF the egg into the woman's
face, but justified herself in so doing, on &C
count of her picking out all the large eggs in
her basket, aad then putting back one because
1t was a little cracked. The Alderman in
formed her that picking large eggs, and re-
fusing to take cracked ones, were mere mat
ters Of trade between the buyer and seller.
possibly annoying, but not justitying assault,
rs abe might have prevented the woman pick
ing the eggs. by refusing to sell to her. She
was 6ned 81 and costs.
There appeared to be great deal of feeling
in this case, and the sympathy of the crowd
WAS with the girl, as there Lad been great
ia relation to women going
through the market and selecting large eggs
The woman, in her remarks, pointing to her
face, said, when struck with the egg she did
nothing but appealed to the law for redress.
James Temple, N, by officer Wingate, for in-
decent beha vior, fined S. and costs.

A number OF persons were arrested for OBJ

Good Templnr's Strawberry Fesaval.-Our
temperance friends propose having, 10 the city
hall, on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday next,
a straw berry festival. We understand they
have entered upon this movement with great
spirit, and that both ladies and gentlemen are
themselves in zeal and effort
They will adopt the same course that has been
pursued by others to make their entertainment
attractive, and purpose offering Tor sale, by
ballot, beautiful freman's trumpet and also
several pieces of the higher regaia of tho Or
Ter. The berris3, ice cream and cakes will be
Of the first quality, and will be served in tho
leatest style, and every effort will be made to
give entire satisfaction to those who may pat
'onize the enterprise. We cannot let this
movement pass without special obsorvaton.-
These temperance people deserve the most
generous encouragement, in their phiianthro-
bic effort; they are engaged in matter of vast
mportance, and in their determined struggles
10 do good they have TO combat against "A
Willy and powerful foe. Those who are not OBJ

by these organizations 10 keep the public mind
