Two years had passed away. Hen.
ley had reached his father just soon
enough to be at his death-bed and to
catch his dying words. His two sisters
had both married, and he had returned
to England the owner of his fathers es-
tate, Wickham Manor. AS for the Miss
Devonport saffairyhe' had striven hard to
forgot it all; but, in spite of his efforts,
he could not Danish every remembrance
of it. He was not the kind of man to
carry about with him the traces of an
overwhelming sorrow. He was still
young, had wealth, his digestion was
unimpaired, and he enjoyed life keenly.
But whenever his thoughts recurred, as
they did pretty often. to his hunting
days at marlborough, Miss Deven-
ports image was never far off. He could
not forget it, brave and resolute though
he was. Great as was his self control,
there were times when he showed that he
carried about with him traces of lifes
SORROW There are some men who can
only love once. Oliver Henley was
one of these. He had loved Miss Dew
export, and he did not feel disposed to
to love any other woman. That was all.
About two years and half after the
marlborough affair, Henley was stay
ing with some friends in town. There
was to be a dance in the evening, and
the party assembled at breakfast were
full of the coming event.

A GREAT CoNTRAsT.-At this time
last year the excavations of the people
were loud and deep, as well as almost
universal. against the condition of the
wharf and Water Street, and these
excavations were not without just
cause. The long series of rains that
prevailed during January had rem
dered Water Street almost impassa-
be, and the wharf, what little of it
was left by the rapidly swelling food.
was in no better condition, and the
engulphing OF drays and mules almost
out Of sight, was no uncommon spec
tacIe. The contrast now is great in
deed. The street, finely. powdered,
is solid and dry, and the wharf we'll
paved and 10 Ike good condition
Whom it is deemed prudent to remove
the thin layer Of gravel from the sur
face Of the street aud wharf, both will
be at all times as clean almost as a
well swept floor.

: a PROPOSED PRIZE FIGHT.-Two
men yesterday having imbibed large
number of :" bo6menickle" at a third
class 6rinkery got lup1a quarrel. and,
after a multitude of words, one chal-
lenged the other to go to the public
grounds on the river babk9 above
Walnut Street, and $ fight it out. "
The challenge was accepted, and the
belligerents proceeded with their
friends and crowd of spectators to
the spot designated,T The crowd NOV
ing in that direction excited the cur
iosity of others, and men from all d.
rections rushed to the public grounds
to learn the cause Of the excitement.
Upon arriving On the ground, chal-
longing party called upon his wife,
who was on aFneighboring fatboat, to
come and witness his contest and his
triumph. The other hall came rush
ing forth, and on the way gathering a
brick, fastened to the scene Of in-
tended combat, declaring her purpose
to annihilate the first Individual who
attempted to lay rude. hands upon her
liege lord. A
The combatants had In the mean
while shed their outer garme nts, y
and had placed themselves in pos
ish.n At this critical moment, when
arms were poised, and men were gaz-
ing with bated breath to see the onset,
some indisereet person shouted
police, when the challenged party
seized his coat and rushed frantically
to town. When he was fairly gone,
the challenger eHtertained the au-
dience with declarations of the rapid
ity with which he would have
chawed u2" his opponent if he had
only stood to see it, and then flung
himself down the bank. followed by
Mollie, who sided down the bank
much after the manner il which the
boys are accustomed to slide down
the wharf on their sleds, only she had
no sled beneath her. The distin-
guished multitude returned to the
city greatly disappointed at the tame
finale of what they had supposed was
TO be bloody fight. % ga

SCHOOL DIsTRICTs-The compile
ton of the large new school building
on Ninth Street has made it necessary
to revise the school districts of the
city, in order to fill up this new house.
Six hundred children had to be taken
from the over-crowded rooms in the
other houses and transferred to the
Ninth Street School. This work has
been done as fairly and judiciously by
the school authorities as was possible.
a The Superintendent, after ascer-
tanning the residence of every child
in attendance on the Public Schools,
marked out the Districts with all pos
sible care, and made the allotment
for the Ninth Street house so as to
equalize the attendance in the differ
ent buildings and rooms. The re-
districting was submitted to the School
Trustees, and by them examined and
approved as the best that could be
done under existing circumstances.
As such we think it ought to be ac-
cepted by all parents; and yet we hear
that some, who do not think of the
trouble and impossibilities in the way
Of the qualification of their wishes,
express much dissatisfaction at the
present method of districting the
city. We are satisfied that the Su-
peri ntendent and School Board have
done all that it was possible to do
to avoid these inconvenience, and we
hope that all good. citizens will quietly
acquiesce in the changes that have
been made, It is unpleasant for
children to be taken from under the
instruction of teachers to whom they
have become attached, and sent to
new instructors and distant rooms,
butt cannot be avoided under ex-
listing circumstances

LAST Sunday was Candlemas day,
upon which, it is said, the grounding
comes from his Winters burrow, and
ifhe sees his shadow he returns to
his snug quarters and remains six
weeks longer, for Winter to pass
away. IF the day is dark and cloudy,
it is taken for granted that the VIM
ter is over, and grounding remains
out of his den. Last Sunday was
clear, we believe, all day. and the
grounding, if not blind, had no
trouble in seeing his shadow. If per-
sons skeptical on the subject of the
groundhog's pre-science or sagacity,
will note the weather for the:next
six weeks, they may have their skep-
ticism dissipated or confirmed. -

BEFORE JUSTICE EMERY.-Joseph
Z. Tomelson fled an affidavit. before
Justice Emery against Mary Ann
Foster for assault and battery. Some
four or five witnesses were examined
on the part of the prosecution, while
there was no evidence introduced on
the part of the defence. After hear
ing the evidence, the Justice rendered
his opinion that the case had been
clearly made out. but expressed the
opinion that . twas kind of dirty,
malicious prosecution, " aud be
should, therefore, fine the defendant
one cent, and remit all the costs. The
Prosecuting Attorney, not to be out
done ia magnanimity, RENTED his
fees, and furnished the defeR liant a
one cent postage stamp wherewith to
pay the fine. When the witnesses
spoke, of their attendance the Justice
remarked that if. they claimed their
attendance he would charge it upon
the docket, but that be would never
collect it. There were those present
stupid enough to imagine that this
was a singular method of rendering
Justice and executing the laws. b

RECoRDER's CoURT-The Counc

RECORDERS CoURT.-The Council
Chamber was crowded yesterday after
noon with Heterogeneous assemblage,
all eager to hear the disgusting de-
tails of an expected trial of number
Of fallen angels or reputed prosti-
tutes. Warrants had been issued
against nearly a dozen of them, but
only three or four put in an appear
ance. Geo. w. Mcbride and AFRO
Dyer appeared, as the former an
nouuced, as Representatives ef the ac-
cused, and desired that the trial of
one of the principals should go on in
her absence. To this unusual pro-
ceedurc, Col. Buchanan, Attorney FOR
the city, as well as the Recorder, OBJ
objected. The distinguished Attor-
hey finally sent for his client,
and, in the meanwhile, demanded
jury. This involved further delay.
and finally sthe cases were all post,
poned until this morning. The
charges against two of the parties are
for keeping houses of assignation, of
i'll fame and prostitution, and against
the others for visiting, occupying and
using such houses for the purposes of
prostitution.
From the parade of forces made yes
terday, it is manifest that the lewd
women of the city with their friends
and. sympathizcrs,r are determined to
make a desperate fight for the mas
terry in the city, and it is time that
the friends of law. .orler, decency and
morality should seriously consider
the situation, aud array themselves
on the side of morality aud decency,
and insist that the laws be executed.
The declaration has already been.
publicly made chat the party now in
power in this city villa be turned out
next Spring, because of their efforts
to suppress lewd houses aud gambling,
bells. It rests with the good people
of the property holders who
have large interests at stake--fathers.
who have sons to be corrupted and
ruined, or daughters to be debauched
and outraged--to determine if the
threat shall be made good This is
not a. question: of. politics, but Of
morals, and, it is to be hoped that a Il.
who feel an interest in the fair fane
of our city, will array themselves on
the side of morality and decency.
