PoL1oE COURT. Business in this
court yesterday was somewhat brisker
than on the day preceding, though
nothing to boast OF. There were three
cases to receive the attention of his
Honor.
IRREGULAR CONDUCT PRODUCED BY THE
TEARING DOWN OF A HOUSE.
Cinderella Gray was charged with
uttering loud and filthy language on
the public street. It appeared that no.
ticing, on Thursday, the gradually in
Creasing exposure of the secrets OF the
rear portion OF the Grant House to the
'garish light of day" she concluded it
could make her observations contri-
butte to her own benefit. Accordingly
she undertook the task, and would
have accomplished 1t successfully had
not one of the proprietors happened on
the scene just in the nick of time.
What did Cinderella do. under the
circumstances Not exactly what
well regulated Christian ought to have
done. But Cinderella is not a well
regulated Christian. It is true she is a
sort OF a christian, but 1t is no part
OF her philosophy to turn the other
cheek. What she did do was to give
vent to the cloud and filthy languape1
charged by the prosecution. And sbe
did this with such obstreperous yolu-
biltty that the gentlemanly proprietor
o! the Grant was fain 10 hand her over
to the careful protection of the police.
bis Honor, In fit of leniency, fined
her one dollar and the costs.
THE EVIL EFFECTS OF A SMOKY CHIMNEY.
Mr.. Andrew Comas, OF Centre Wheel
ing, had rented a part OF his house to
Mr.. John Clifford, a small man. The
chimney ofMr. Clihord's portion OF the
| house has an ugly habit OF turning the
smoke of his fire in the wrong direction.
The persistent perversity of a contrary
chimney is the most trying thing in the
world TO even a we'll disciplined MIND.
and We do not wonder that Mr.. @. com.
planned to his landlord. We should not
have wondered IL 1t had been deyel
Oped before the Police Court, that this
complaint was made in language strong
and forCible; particularly, as Mr.. CO.
! mas subsequent violation OF the sane
tity of domestic life, in following his
tenant into the house, and then and
there assauIting and battering his right
organ OF vision, in the presence of his
wife and child, can be reason.
ably explained in no other way.
Mr.. COmas, at the time, had
an open penknife in his hand,
and seriously treatened 10 send
Mr.. Clifford to one or other of the pla-
=
the limits of the visible universe; and |
this is another reason for suppOsinR |
that the latter gentlemau's complaint |
was not OF as mild a character as il |
should have been, coming from a ten
ant to his landlord. But, foregoing |
stating that the Court imposed fine Of |
$40 ard costs upon Mr.. Comas.
MIsTooK HIS VOCATION,
~. /
sixteen years old, was employed at |
glass factory somewhere in Centre |
Wheeling, to carry tumblers, goblets,
salt cellars and such like brittle affairs,
the product OF modern ingenuity, from
he press where they are squeezed into
shape TO the tempering furnace. After
no great while it became apparent TO
his employers that his genius did not
lie In that line, and he could never at
tain eminence in the profession II he fol-
lowed 1t till relentless age had changed
his taXen locks to gray. So the
news was gently broken to him that
he had better turn his attention 10
another means OF livelihood. Believ-
ing that he could carry tumblers, &c,
as well AS any other living boy, he kept
spending his leisure time about the fac
tory, probably in hope OF again being
called on 10 put bis talents in operas
uon, and this Notwithstanding he had |
been warned by Mr.. Thomas Boyd, |
the pressman whose tumblers he had |
carried away, to make himself scarce |
under penalty of severe treatment, |
and notwithstanding the peremtOry no.
tees posted up on the doors that loaf. |
ing about the establishment would not
be tolerated. This was the state OF af- |
fairs.
On last Saturday evening, Nichols
went into the glass factory for the ex-
press purpose OF seeing whether he |
would be treated as promised. The |
result justified his worst apprebensions,
He was elected from the premises in a |
summary manner, but not seriously |
injured in the process. He made COM |
plant, and Mr.. Boyd was required to |
appear before Judge Good, VINO, after
hearing all the evidence in the case,
dismissed the prosecution.
