A STREET Row.-Last night the people in
the neighborhood of Nineteenth and South
streets had quite an excitement. 1t appears
that three persons, going by the names of
Francis Coyle, Hugh Drane, and "SaSher''
were drinking together, when 'Slasher" went
out on the pavement and accosted a couple of
women who were passing. Not content with
stopping them, he addressed some very insult
ing remarks to them. One of the women was
Coyle's wife, and the other was his sister, The
former went in and told her husband and he
and Drane both went out, swearing vengeance
on 'SlasheI;; COyie i,ieS tle aG'er VINO threat
ing that he was not able made a rush at
''SIasher." If ii had not been for the vigilance

arrested, and were taken before Alderman

WHERE TO Buy YOUR DRY GooDs.-This is

viduals are interested; and where to purchase
substantial and tasteful goods, and at the most
reasonable rates, is a difficult problem to solve
when surrounded by multiplicity of stores, ali
advertising the best. Cooper & Conard the
proprietors of one OF the largest dry goods eSta-
blishments in, the city, at Market and Ninth

and of every variety, put up at prices which

who call upon them.

where the goods are in such great variety con-
ssting of all the little Essentials so necessary

point to the dear women ofmy people, as
I have seen them during the recent strug-
gle. Tie Spartan mother sent forth her
boy, bidding him return with honor-ei-
ther carrying his sword, or on it. The
women of the South sent forth their sons,
directing to return with victory, to return
with wounds disabling them from further
serrice or never return at all. All they
had was flung into the confiot-beauty,
grace, passion. refinement, the exquisite
frivoities so dear to the sex, were cast
aside; their songs. if they had any heart
to sing were patriotic their triakets were
flung INTO the public crucble the carpets

The Northern and Southern Farmer.
The New Orleans Picqyuae Of a late date
in remarking upon the blight that has fall
len on the planting interests Of the South
ern States by the destruction Of the negro
labor system and the desoa,ing hoof of
war, draws the following contrast-which
all will confess in some of lis features is
iust-between the farmer in the Northern
States and Southern planter. The neces-
stiles of the case will IN the future, to
greater or less extent, compel the adoption
of the advice given BY the Picayune, Hard
work, economy, and personal application
must take the place of the loose system Of
ferming through agents and by proxy, and
the thriflessness and extravaganza which
has heretofore characterized the business

The Northern farmer gets rich because
