sers of the livery stable in Meeting, near Went
worth streets, have long been celebrated for their
horseaesh. Their stalls are always full, and oven
the hump-back King would find no difficulty in

the community, knowing that their collection OF
horses embrace all kinds, from racer to quiet
nag, and none are allowed to leave dissatisfied.

high collared homespun coat, "of the steel pom
cut" who solemnly averred that it was the first
| time, was called up and accused OF being found
lying down drunk in the street during hard rain,
and being completely surrounded by water. The
defendant mildly admitted the charge, but stated
that he came into town quite sick and took two
drinks as medicine that knocked him over, which
may have been the result of the doses being too
large, or perhaps not allowing sufficient time be-
tween the draughts. He was pleasantly fined 50,
and Immediately proceeded to financier.
Charles Edwards, colored man with big head,
who was found in the street about daylight with
pair of dog irons under his arm, and couldn't ac-
count for having them in possession, except by
saying they were given to him by his grandmoth-
er, who after diligent search by the police,
proved to be an imaginary relative, that it was
doubtful he ever had, was sent to the Chief OF the
Detectives to examine into his case.
