conductors" the Courier has the
following:
Then, there is John Kirkman, he
also runs a long train, and goes all
the way to the city of Rockville. Not
particularly knowing the facts, but we
are informed that John sometimes
gets little longer than his train. We
allude to Johns gentlentanly deport-
ment towards some of the excursion
lists from Vincennes, on their return
trip from that ancient city on We'd
nesday evening last. But, perhaps,
the least said about that affair will be
the best-for John. So we will say
no more than to advise John in future
not to get longer than his train.
What has Mr.. K. done? Is he an
Englishman? a New Highlander? or
what is the matter that ne should re-
ceive such a notice by the editor of
that paper? Perhaps he is of differ
ent political opinions. That perhaps
is what's the matter" We have
always heard Mr.. K. spoken of in,
high terms of praise before.
How THEY BoAsT-We learn that
matters are waxing warm over in
Owensboro, Ky. George Triplet,
who was appointed, we believe, at the
beginning of the war by the rebel
authorities to destroy the Locks on
the Green river, made speech in
that place few days since full of in
cendiarism, in which he boasted
of what he had done to destroy the
Government of the United States,
and in which he took occasion TO re-
mark that he would do just as he had
done, and his only regret was that the
cause of the rebels had failed. He
denounced Federal soldiers in I'M
measured terms, as well as all those
who supported the Government in
its dark hour of peril. He is said
to have openly expressed his willing
ness and anxiety to fight the battles
over, and was confident of success the
next time. This sort of talk sounds
strange so soon after terrible war
THAT DESERVING HUsBAND.-The
lady who chased her husband to Hen
derson and captured him, of which
we published an accountin yesterdays
paper, returned to the city last night,
after having lodged her ''liege lord"
in, Jail, and caused him to be fined
some thirty or forty dollars. The
husband also returned on the same
boat, and on the way he abused her
most scandalously we are told. When
he arrived in the city, he made threats
against the woman's life, and so ex-
cited her fears that she appealed to
the Mayor for protection, who gave
instructions to the police to guard the
house and prevent any harm to the
lady. We did not learn what had be-
come of his paramour, but she is
probably awaiting his return.
The lady, we are told, whose hus-
band has thus shamefully acted, is in
dustrious, and labored daily at Mr..
Sellman's shop on Main Street. 1t
appears that the woman with whom
the husband attempted to abscond,
had formerly lived in Terre Haute,
and had recently sold house and lot
that she owned there, and with the
money the pair were proposing low
ing excursion trip. The lady declares
that she will have nothing further to
do with her husband after thus
basely DESERVING her.
RECORDERS CoURT-Jno. NJ. Dae-
latch was fined by the City Recorder,
yesterday, in the moderate sum of $50,
for failure to take out license as
necessary qualification to vending the
ardent.
A Mr.. Batz, who was little pugil-
istically inclined, and made demon
strations as if he would assault lady,
was fined 50, with costs added. Ger
tainly the penalty was light enough
for the offence. An example should
be made of all such cases, SO as to
make fighting ladies " odious," as the
President said of treason, but not like
he now proposes to make treason
odious.
A pedlar was arraigned on charge
of offering goods for sale without first
having procured license from the
