the Second Ward Market House, on

"TEN DOLLARS AND COSTS"
On Saturday evening last Michael
Mcclure was intoxicated, and went in
to Donovan's saloon, on Main street,
aud asked for a drink, which was re-
fused him, he being told that he had
enough, when he uncorked himself and
commenced making disturbance. He
was ordered out of the house by the
bar-keeper, and refusing to go, he was
put out and the door closed in his face.
These proceedings terribly aroused
McGuire's Indignation, and he COM
menced filling his coat pockets with
brick, crying to Donavon to come out
Of the saloon and he would skin him
"or words to that effect" He then
passed to the other side of the street
and INDUCED in loud and profane Ian
guage, attracting the attention of all
the citizens in that vicinity. Such pro-
ceedings not being in accordance with
the rules and regulations which govern
this enlightened people, Mcclure was
fined ten dollars and costs.
A MIXED "MUss"-"TEN AND FIVE" FOR
TWO.
On Monday night, at about eleven
o'clock o miscellaneous squabble &C.
Cured at Shafers saloon, on Market
street, above the market house, which,
from the evidence, was hard to fully
understand, but we will give all we
know about the matter with the great
est reluctance" 1t appears that Mr..
Richard Gardiner lives near Skaters
saloon. Skater and his saloon were
drunk, Skaters wife was on the ram
page, and Gardiner and his dog were
the innocent cause of all the turmoil.
Gardiner and his Thomas dorg were 60
ing home, and when in front of Skaters
saloon the Thomas quadruped encoun-
tered Mrs. Shafer's purp-which does
not happen to be of the Thomas kind
and there seems to exist between these
two dogs an uncongeniality not unlike
that between Gardiner and Mrs. Shafer.
The moment the dogs commenced fight
ing, Mrs. Skaters head appeared at a
chamber window, and beholding Gardi-
ner's physical" she was "worked up"
and accosted him with, you're loaf
err" "you will steal" "you will go to
the penitentiary," etc. Gardiner gent
lly limited that she "was a lunatic," and
would soon be "sent to the asylum"
Here the ball opened. Shafer, hearing
the noise, came to ascertain the trouble,
and was informed by Gardiner. Shafer
: said to pay mo attention init her."
Then Mrs. Shafer, it is supposed, threw
two or three bottles and brick at
Gardiners. (The dogs had made
up, and were quietly watching tho re-
suit of their misunderstanding Then
Shafer ordered Gardiner away, but
he wenteth not. and before many min
utes had elapsed Gardiner felt COM
PEELED to hand Shafer one or two ticks,
and soon after quiet reigned supreme
about the Shafer house. Yesterday
morning Gardiner and Shafer and sha'
fer's wife were arraigned before Judge
Goods for disturbance of the peace and
quiet Of the city, and Gardiner was
fined ten dollars and costs, Mrs. Sha,
fer fined five dollars and costs, the case
against Mr.. Shafer was dismissed, and
thus ended the dog frolic.
