An UaheaIthy City.

Yesterday afternoon we were aston
ished at therevelations made by for
eigR, biear- Keyed and bloated gentleman
in reference to the unhealthy condition
of the city, but recollecting that it
has been temporarily afflicted with a
mass of putrid, hy-blown carcasses
like the one he represents, we were no
longer surprised at his assertions, but
rather amazed that we escaped some
violent epidemic. Wherever he
carries his filthy remains, there
will be corruption, and in order to avoid
the fate of all garbage he is compelled
to steer his course clear of all sanitary
commissions OF his doom would here
after be sealed in some market garden.
We allude particularly to one of the Ro-
man Senators of West Virginia who so
enthusiastically portrayed the unhealthy
condition of our city, and eulogized his
home among the mountains so high as a
place for men of intellect to ruralize
and make laws for the pigmies.

Michael Brady Again.

IulCnaci Druuy ASohn'
The individual named at the head OF
this paragraph, and alluded to in our
police report, was arraigned before
Squire Johnston, after Judge Good had
disposed of him. Michael Brady has
been sejourning in Jail for the past ten
or twelve months, serving out period
of confinement for assault and battery.
On Tuesday last, we are informed, he
was let out on bail, and OH the same day
he proceeded to develop the same pas
sioHs he was formerly arrested for by
attacking various of our citizens for no
other purpose than gratifying his pro-
pensity for knocking down and dragging
out. One of his victims was Mary
Dolau, married lady, we believe, who
be deliberately caught and wrung by
the hair of the head, striking her several
times in the face, after which he
made q similar assault on Timothy Don
ovan, cutting him severely about the
face with stone or brick. intlicting
such wound as will probably result in
his losing one of his eyes. Brady In
making these desperate assaults did not
escape injury altogether himself. de
was struck on the forehead with poker
nv Mr.. Donovan, which laid him
ont and he was afterwards pitched
ont of the house. We next
find him before Squire Johnston,
who bound him over fer the first as

sult in the sum Of $500, and the second
500, for his appearance at the May
t, rm of-the Circuit Court. Peter Don
ovan and Michael Sheekey then ap-
peared and preferred charges against
him for threatening their lives, and lot
the first the Squire demanded $500 Tor
surety of keeping the peace, and Tor
the second $500, all of which he failed
to give. The sum total of the securities

Johnston committed him for the May

Pnlice court.

A character of some note, and tamil-
lar to our citizens as an individual who
respects neither the law of God or man,
named Michael Brady, was brought be-
fore the Police Court on TIVE charges,
one for resisting the officer in the dis
charge of his duty, aud the ether, as
sault aud battery. We are taught that
there are three clements in this world,
animal, mineral and vegetation, and
that the human being is only highly
educated animal" or in other
words, gifted with what is call
ed "instinct" to distinguish him
from his quadruped relatives. Now we
think that nature sometimes make mis-
takes and gives the wrong animal two
legs when they should have four, and
as an instance of the fact we refer to the
brutal passions of Michael Brady. This
animal externally resembles II human
being, was arraigned for nnprOvoked
assaults IN different parties, and fined
twenty dollars and costs; also for re-
sisting the officer was sent to Jail for
thirty days: and was committed for the
same number more for failing to pay
the first named fine.

gold, commercial paper, and all other
kinds of securities. We take pleasure

Trial OF Brieseck.

In the Circuit Court yesterday young
Briesock was tried for the murder OF
John Farley, which occurred in Decem-
Der. 1866. The trial of the cause occu-
pied the whole of yesterdays session
OF the Court, and the verdict was not
rendered until ten o'clock last night
The jury found the prisoner guilty OF
involuntary manslaughter, and liked
his fine at one dollar. In consideration
of this action of the jury Judge Cald-
well discharged the prisoner, thus re-
lieving him from imprisonment. James
P. Rogers, Esq, Prosecuting Attorney
appeared for the State, and James ).
Wheat, Esq, for the prisoner. The
Jury was absent but short time, when
they returned with their verdict.
The circumstances of the murder are
doubtless fresh in the minds of our read
ers. On Christmas Eve of 1866, Bris-
sock, Farley and a number of other
yonug men were in Donovan's drinking
saloon, GU Main street, Second Ward,
raffling for turkeys; when the ralfie was
over a dispute arose between Briesock
and Farley as to the result; angry
words ensued, and t0quell the disturb
ance one of the belligerentS was put out
of the front door of the saloon,
and the other out of the rear
door: soon afterwards they met
in front of a saloon on Market street, a
short distance above Jefferson, and i'm
medately the quarrel was renewed; the
parties clinched, and in the melee Brie-
sock fired his pistol; the ball took effect
in the breast of Farley, who was car
ried into the saloon, and there had his
wound dressed Farley walked home
and was able to walk around for
several days afterwards, but finally
took sick and was taken to the
hospital, where he died in few days
about ten or fifteen days after the
wound was received. Briesock was inn
mediately arrested upon the decease Of
Farley, and gave bail for his appearance
at Court. Tb: trial was continued
from time to time until yesterday, when
the case was disposed of US above
stated.

Drowncd.

Drowncd.
A young man, aged about fifteen
yea1s. named Thomas Mulcurrens, was
drowned on last Sunday morning about
two o'clock. He was employed on the
steamer New State, and it is supposed
that he fell overheard while the boat
was lying or going at point between
this city and Marietta. His mother,
Catharine Mulcurrens, who resides on
Water street, in this city, is poor wild
ow woman, and has depended mainly
upon this son for support, is now IN
great distress over his unfortunate
death. Any one seeing this notice
who should accidentally come across
his body would confer favor upon hui
manity if they weuld send information
to that effect to this city. The young
man was heavy set, had on a dark brown
suit of clothes, calico shirt, dark fan
mel undershirt and hob-nail shoes when
last seen. So far his neither has been
unable to obtain any correct informa'
tion how he was drowned, other than
the tbove supposition alluded to.

Tint Grnnd Army.

Union soldiers, who bravely and hon
orally went to the front and met the
enemy, deserve the praise ofboth friend
and foe, and it is hoped that none Will
compromise their dignity as soldiers by
Joining that dissenting organization
known by the belieing title of Grand
Army of the Republic" The Governor
of Pennsylvania Gen. Geary) onco
made speech (his speeches were few
and shsrt) in which he declared that
a part of the army was composed OF
"skulkers, bummcrs and stragglers," and
bis Republican friends heralded this as
sertion through the State as fact
spoken by an honest man. We
make this reference TO demon
strate the truth of an assertion OF
Horace Greeley's, who said that the
men that Geary alluded to had all join
ed what is now known as the Grand
Army of the Republic" We under
stand that an effort is being made by
some of Geary'S men to breathe into ex-
istence in this city this organization,
and that the prime movers have ap'
preached several true soldiers in refer
ence to the matter, who fatty refused
to join this political clap-trap that at
tempts to robe itself with the honors OF
soldier and hide its corruption behind
the tomb of the honored dead. Away
with such sneaking, dissenting organi'
cations. 1t stinks in the nOstrils of the
patriots and lives on the perjured and
passions of the corruptly blind, who
would ride on the back of the soldier
until he breaks down with the load OF
filth imposed upon him by this Grand
Army.

"Bolivar"-Senator Young, of Pocahon-
tas county, will be commissioned Brig

is successful here, and some contrabanc
