STREET AssAULT.-Last night gang of
thieves who congregate about the northwest
corner of Ninth and Chestnut streets, made an
attack upon three or four young men who were
passing. One of them received severe cut over
the head with cane. The roughs then ran, one
of them taking refuge in a restaurant at the
northwest corner. He was followed by an officer
who went into the place and found the fellow
hid away in the vault. He was arrested, and
gave the name of Alexander Purple, and was
committed by Alderman Jones. This restau-
rant has been the scene of many similar occur
rences, and is known to be a resort TOR all kinds
OF suspicious characters.

a large number of ladies and gentlemen assem-.
bled at the Union Skating Park, tor the purpose
of witnessing match game OF baseball on ice
between the Athletic and Hamilton Clubs.
Owing to some cause the latter club was but
slimly represented. The following players we're
selected to contest against the frst-named club:
Messrs. Anspach and Croasdale of the Olympic;
Simmons, Keim, and Leidy, of the Philadelphia;
the Hamilton; and Z. Gaskin, of the Athletic.
Messrs. Hayhurst, Mcbride Reach, wilkins,
Berkenstock, Luenjeane, G. Gaskil, Dockney,
and Sterling constituted the Athletics nine.
The ice being quite soft, it was very difficult to
man9uvre upon. Nevertheless, the game was
well played, and reflects great credit upon the
pOnfestants

the Hon. Samuel s. Cox, of Ohio, on Irish Wit

finished effort OF rhetoric. 1t was listened to
with attention, and greeted throughout with
much laughter and applause. Mr.. Cox is an

and comic writer has acquired widespread
reputation. He was one of the few Douglas

false to his country. On the last occasion of his
election to Congress, he received nearly all of
the Republican votes, affording the best evil
dence OF his popularity and patriotism.

MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.

RoWDyIsM.--There seems to be a growing
spirit of insubordination not only in Camden
but In many OF the large towns and villages. AT
the opening of the Mercer County Court, last
week, Chief Justice Beasley charged the Grand
Jury on the general tendencies to rowdyism,
and showed the necessity of adopting prompt
measures TO check this alarming evil. He al
luded to the recent Horn spreep among the
students Of Princeton College, which resulted in
a conflict with the President and professors, and
the expulsion of some thirty students. We hope
the remarks of the Chief Justice may induce
parents, guardians and masters to exercise re-
straining authority over our youth, and prompt
the police to pay more attention to boys of
larger growth.

z The Season of Fairs.

We care reminded by the invitation Of
our friends in Posey that, the season
of agricultural fairs is arriving The
Posey County Fair will be held al
New Harmony commencing morrow
and continuing four days. We hope
to be present part of the time, and see
| the evidences of thrift and progress
of good farmers of Posey. The Glib
son County Fair will take place sthe
first week in October, as also the Ind
lana State Fair, and the Henderson,
(Ky.) Fair. The Agricultural society
of this city will hold its Fair the third
week in October.
These annual gatherings remind us
that the summer is over and that the
harvest is being gathered in This
bringing together the laborers of the
field and the artizans of the shops, to
admire the fruits of their toll and in
genuity, and to receive from the pub
lie the due rewards of their excellen-
ces, have the effect to ennoble labor
and push forward the industrial avo-
cations to greater improvement and
perfection. And on the threshold of
Autumn, it is well for US to think of
the dependence of society especially
upon the farmers of the country-the
producers of the elements of sub
sistence, producing that funda-
mental wealth, without which we
should have neither commerce,
manufacturers nor professions.
And it is right and becoming in all
classes of the people to unite in their
acknowledged tributes of respect and
dependence, as they do in these Agri-
cultural assemblies. It should be the
aim of all to make them the great an
nual gatherings of the Counties
Ours is prominently an agricultu-
raj people. 1t is the great interest
of the West, and we cannot do too
much to develop, improve, and elevate
it. Let us, therefore, keep the com
ing Fairs in mind. and do what we
can to make them successful.

Some of the names and titles are

1t has been plain enough where the
sympathies of the johnson organ in
this city were. Yet we hardly expected
it to come out in such plain and bold
defense of the most horrid and re-
voting chapter in the whole catalogue
of crimes, which the Rebels committed
during the war Butwe have it in the
article published below, using figures,
the correctness of which has already
been disproved. The Courier assumes
that all the ground for the cry which
was sent up against the starvation,
numbering and massacre of Union
soldiers" is false. At last the South
is indicated" 1t is well known that
at Andersonville and Belle Isle alone
there lie buried more than the num-
Der of Union dead given in the figures
below, to say nothing of Libby prison,
Castle Thunder, Salisbury, Columbia,
Cahawba, and the hundreds of other
loathsome dens and filthy stockades
in the South. But we have no patience
to argue the matter. "The South is
