A mnED-UP CAsE.-A man by the name
or alias of Long Miken was employed to take
| charge OF drove of cattle from the West Phila-
9elphla drove-yard, to be taken to Trenton.
| Soon after starting, he concluded that the drive
| was more than he could handle and he en-
| ployed another man, by the name of John Bax-
| ter, TO assist him for twenty-five cents an hour
Being thus relieved Of part of his re-
| sponsibility 'Long Mike" took the opportunity
| TO stop at all the taverns, and imbibe of the
| hulds vended at those places. He soon got
| gloriously tight and invited Baxter to 90 in aud
drink with him. The latter refused, when
| Long Mike" struck him.
Baxter, being high-tempered Irshman, could
not stand that, and having a shillelah IN his
possession, he played the Devils tattoor on
| Long Mikes head The latter then left him, when
| be drove his charge to Frankford in safety
| Hardly had he got INTO the latter place when
| Long Mike came along and got warrant out
| against him for assault and battery. He was
| arrested last evening, and despite of his pro-
| testattors and asseveratiOns, was held in $500
bail by Alderman Holme on a charge of assault
and battery. He is, no doubt, rejecting on the
uncertainty of the law, and will, it is said, turn
the tables on his prosecutor.
