MARITAL DISPUTE.
Kate o keefe had her husband Richard arraigned
for assauting and stealing her pocketbook and TAX
ing the money therein and spending 1t in rum shop.
II was clear that the husband decidedly worse
man than the vile was woman. The testimony
was decidedly In kate's favor notwithstanding the
efforts OF his counsel, and the Court thought 1t would
teach Richard lesson by sending him TO the Island
for TWO months.
A couple OF old boys were before the court as
painant and defendant for having 'splug muss.n
The defendant, Vincent Geesler, tall, powerful
man, with an eye that had cut under 1t, the
mains OF recent fight, was charged by John O'Con-
nor with setting large dog on him and tearing his
pantaloons.
"Did he hurt you pn asked Judge Downing
mo, he didn't hurt me much. lie only tore my
trousers and inserted his teeth into my leg and
had 1.-THE bite--Sulg,ed out with 'u"er caH""."
.'Well, SIR" asked his Honor, what nave you to
say for yoursefsn
Zach, Shudge,n responded Vincent, ~ shwears
didn't sed der tory ubon der mans; shwears
nave der witness Ach, nix. Pc tam, shwears"
A great deal OF testimony pro and con was taken
to show first that the dog did and then that the dog
did not assat and bite the complainant in the leg. II
was asserted by Vincent that 0iConnor stopped and
picked up stone and that this was the reason why
he was set upon. Vincent, for letting his dog run
loose and giving Mr.. OConnor a nip, was fined
twenty-five dollars.
The defendant was low spirited when he heard
this, more probably In "der sprechen D00tch;n and
upon paying 'der monish" made for the nearest
Gambrmian saloon TO assuage his thirst In 'zwie
glass lager" several times twice.
The Court having disposed of majority OF the
cases the clerk had put the docket, adjourned at
halfpast eleven O'Clock until next Tuesday morning.

English Championship.
Being an age of humbug none viii be surprised to
learn that the much talked OF encounter between
wormald and O'Baldwin, both OF whom, by the way
were backed for considerable amount, will end like
many other public lotteries with which not few
victims are painfully familiar. Without at all ques-
tionng the first Intentions Of the pugilists matters
have since transpred that to any penetrating mind
would appear to at least leave room for suspicion
and now that there to be but little probability
OF the fight the public must Justly entertain serious
doubts that the affair was premeditated sham. TO
be sure, the men talked with an iron voice and
almost chuckled with delight at the approaching
contest, and, like ShyOck, each was to feed fat
the ancient grudge" they bore each other; but IL
nevertheless must be remembered that there are
actors or the stage, well as those who have trod-
den the boards what connection prize fight has
with the election In Philadelphia Is an enigma which
the parties themselves could probably pest explain
eddy matter OF astOnishment, unless, perhaps, IL
results more profably to the would be antagonists
il, with few exceptions the magnet which at
tracts the pugilistic community at the present
day. Under such circumstances the sooner II ID
got rid OF as a prescribed speculation the better
Besides, 1t now appears that neither Wormad nor
O'Baldwin is in condition to fight even month
hence and how 1t is possible for the combatants to
meet each other without any training Few days
hence needs comment The fight has been post
poned to the 18th inst so that all outside bets are
nun and void circumstance that must give salts
faction to those who anticipated an honest meeting
The contest may come or on the day mentioned, al
though one would be almost safe IN predicting the
contrary. Yet should the pugiliss meet few min
utes will bring the affair to q close.
