PAINFUL AcCIDENT.-Yesterday while
Michael Damardy, an Irish porter with
Messrs. W. B. Jones & Co., was engaged
in driving nails into box, he failed to
strike one of them fair, and it flew up,
striking him in the left eye, tearing it al
most out. The wound is severe and
painful one, and will probably deprive the
unfortunate man of the use of his eye.

New MANUFAcTORY.-It is in contem-
plation to establish another extensive hat
mandatory in this city, for the double
purpose of giving employment to many
poor and unemployed persons, who would
be glad to support themselves by their own
industry, and Of course to make money
for the stockholders. We suppose this
company will be put in operation as rapid
ly as possible, and it is anticipated that it
will be very successful.

A MEAN CHICKEN.-The darkey is very
good at inventing stories to get himself out
Of scrape, as any one who has ever at
tended the Mayors court will at once
agree. The old commonplace stories of
having bought what they are charged with
having stolen, and the like, are being told
less often than of old, and we have now
each day something new. We have of late
heard some pretty good ones told to his
Honor, and we give the following as sam
pie:
Jasper Taylor, dilapidated looking negro,
was arraigned yesterday for trespassing
upon the premises of William Fl. Finne-
gan. Mr.. Finnegan testified that he heard
on Wednesday night noise in his cellar,
and upon going to see what was the mat
ter, he found Jasper coiled up on pile of
wood, and as he had no business there he
had him arrested.
Jasper said to his Honor, 81 cum from
Louisiana wild our sojers in de war, an l
amt never bin back dar since. bin
workin in de country, etc. De oder day l
cum to town, and gemman friend o'mine,
he's nigger, he is, axed me for to spend
de night wild him, and to sleep in de cellar
whar he rent q room. / went dar an laid
down in the cellar by de pile oh wood. l
didn't had nuttin tall to do wild de chicken
whar hollered. De chicken was on one
end OBJ log, an was on de oder, an I pull
de log an de chicken holler."
This was very mean thing in the
chicken, especially when Jasper was so ia
vorably inclined towards it, in fact, really
fond of it; so much so that he felt great
desire to adopt it. His Honor would doubt
less have ordered this foul, ungrateful
biped to be beheaded but for law, incorri-
9ble law, which will not allow man to
have too great liking for other mems
chickens. Jasper was sent to Jail, and ere
this is an enlisted man in the chain gang.
