GARRoTERs. These disciples Of Thug have here
tofore confined their attentions to Northern cities
but fey adopts are now in this city, and have
showed their hands in very disagreebe manner
to their unfortunate subjects, few nights since
a United States soldier attempted this pleasant
garroting game on citizen, and had succeeded
in rifing him Of his watch and money, when all
further progress was arrested by pistol which
was placed at his head by party who had wit
messed the transaction, and who demanded re-
turn Of the stolen articles. This peremptory pro-
ceeding induced the gay garroter to comply in
stanter, and his victim found his property restor-
ed when he had given up all as lost. Carrying
concealed weapons is said to be one Of the deadly
sins under the code, but pistols are occasion
ally found to be of vital Importance, and there are
some persons who are bold enough to risk all con-
sequences, and go prepared for all emergencies,
by carrying small shooting iron about their
clothes,
TIE DEARTH OF ITEMs.-From the rising OF the
sun to the going down of the same ye Locsl has
been wandering over the city, seeking what Ne-ns
be might deyour, but all has been vanity and vex-
stion of spirit Quiet has reigned supreme, the
gentle wiles of Bachus have failed to lead men
ssray, and the morals Of the city are delightfully."-
salubrious. The Black Crook has absorbed all Of
the spare change, and while that continues to be
the rage nothing unusual will be likely to occur,
The whole city is in beatifc state OF serenity,
from which nothing can arouse it, and the Local
who perambulates the town for items finds it az
arduous undertaking, bringing only wsariness to
the aesb, and being severe tax on his ab0s
