WALTER, who announces himself as "Colector
and General Agent" Mr.. WALTER has recently
held a position in the Custom House, but being
unable conscientiouely to take the 'iron-clad"
test oath, he resigned his position. The public

dependence.

purest woman's check.
PRovosr OouRT, July 16.-The proceedings oi
this Court to-day were very dull and uninterest
| ing, and only enlivoned by another quarrehng ant
i beating case between white woman and blacl
i woman. The whito woman WAS the prosecutor
4 and had black eye to show she had been beaten
a and was rather sickly-looking person. Th'
q black woman WAS strong and hearty, and did no
Il appear to have been hurt in any way. Language
which, to say the leas OF it, very inapolite, ap
peared to have been used N both sides, and tn
d pious horror expressed at it by one of the wit
nesses was quite amusing. 1t being proven tha
5 the black woman had beaten the white one unne
cessarily, she was sentenced to pay fine Of IS, o
