Rolice Courf.

FOIlce Court.
The seats were all engaged in the Po-
lice Court at an early hour by "a crowd
of curious spectators. There were four
victims to be tried, who rendered them
selves obnoxious to law and order, and
were in consequence brought before the
Court to receive their punishment.
Some one or two of them are the same
that were noticed in yesterdays pro-
ceedings of this Court.
Henry Swigert, as usual, could
neither resist the temptation nor fOrego
the habit of getting drunk when he
felt like it. He thinks it good thing
and intends to enjoy it while he can.
1t is an expensive business, though, as
Henry found it out, when he was
charged before the Court with being
drunk and disorderly on the streets.
He was fined ten dollars and costs.
Timothy Shelley was not quite so
bad. He is not so familiar with the
fines and penalties for offences; nor is
his "mug" familiar to the court room,
it being the first time that he has had
occasion to visit the place. Under the
circumstances he was fined only one
dollar and costs, for being drunk on the
street
John EichenbuTg was another strau-
ger before the Court, and he, too, like
Timothy Shelley, was dealt with kind
ly, on that account. He was charged
with being drunk and disorderly and
fined one dollar and costs.
The last case to be tried was Cornelius
alias Toby Vance. He is we'll known
OIL the records of the court, as having
done the city some service, in the way
of keeping the streets in repairs. He is
singular individual and will enjoy
himself when he as at liberty, like all
other birds that have been Gagged; but
he differs with them in one respect, that
is in not being particular how near he
is to his old cage when he plays his old
tricks, consequently he is soon caught
and deprived of "sweet liberty" His
Honor asked him whether he was ready
for hearing, to which Toby replied,
(sotto roce,) Ego ahead Judge" The
charges against him were clearly proven,
which were drunk, disorderly and try
ing to create disturbance, and in con-
sequence of the familiarity of his APP
pearance in the court for similar often
ces he was fined ten dollars aud costs.
Not being supplied with the necessary
currency to meet the demands Of the
court he was sentenced to follow his Oc-
cupation in repairing the streets, with
board and lodgings furnished at the ex-
pense Of the city for thirty days.

The members of Peerless Lodge No.
43. of Good Templars, had pleasant
and agreeable affair last evening, in the
presentation of a handsome Grand
Lodge regalia to one of the most eff
cient and active members of the order.
1t was awarded to Mrs. Meek, of Tho
barn Lodge, who was very much taken
by surprise by this unexpected mark OF
their esteem, as she was entirely ig-
norant of their intentions until the
moment she received it.
The presentation was made by the
Rev. Mr.. Ball in few appropriate re-
marks, and the regalia was received by
Mr.. Gregg, who acknowledged the honor
on behalf of the recipient in very
pleasant little speech.
