LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


FIaHT. Yesterday afternoon. about &
O'Clock, the natural quiet neighborhood
of Nebraska street, near the corner Of
Union, was thrown into rather an unus-
ual state Of excitement and alarm in
consequence of large crowd of colored
people having collected around grog.
gerry in that locality, known as Fort
Fisher. The cause of the large crowd
being collected was a fight between two
colored women. They fought as veno
NOUS as black snakes, and were as
savage and determined in their encoun.
ter as two Roman gladiators. Each
appeared to have plenty of hackers, and
the excitement ran high. The com
batants fought until they were literally
exhausted, without any person interierl
ing with them in their pleasant pastime
The fight ended in a grand stoning
match, and Fort Fisher was assaulted
by all the colored boys in the neighbor-
hood. Notwithstanding all this excite.
ment, and large crowd collected, the
only star we discovered was worn IN the
hair of flying daughter OF Ham, leay-
ing the scene of action. When will the
two new Constables qualify?

His old habit of committing bad
conundrums still adheres to him, but
instead of one Of them, he sends us the
following: "Wby has the Star of'the
present week at the Norfolk theatre
been the only successful one of the
season? Because he brought his own
trumpet with him, and the United
blew for him.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY. An attempt
was made TO break into the dwelling
house of Mr.. VIM. Manning, ON South
street, Portsmouth, yesterday morning
about 3 o'clock, by forcing the back
door. The noise awoke Mr. Manning
who instantly caught up his gun, and
managed to get shot at the villain, as
he was escaping by the garden. This
morning pool Of blood was found near
the spot where the burglar was standing
at the time Mr.. Manning fired, and it is
therefore supposed that the scoundrel
was severely wounded.
