CITY ITEMS IN BR1EF.-A boy named James
Gillink, about fifteen years old, was yes.
terday drowned in the river, opposite Les
seps street. He had been swimming, but
got beyond his depth.
Workmen were yesterday employed re-
pairing the steamboat Wild Wagner, head
of Josephine street, and by some mischance
a bolt OF iron dropped from above, and stri
king one OF the mechanics, knocked him
senseless. No one knew his name. He was
sent to the Charity Hospital.
Nearly every tenant in yard No. 81,
Fourth street, was before Recorder Jackson
yesterday, and to judge by the reputation
the one gave the other, there must be some
sweet-scented specimens of humanity there.
The ire and acrimony displayed by the wit
nesses toward each other could only be
equaled by angels of darkness. The tender
hearted landlady was not slow of speech nor
mild of manner, while most of the tenants
seemed inclined to murder all who fell in
their way. The worst of these bad ones
were bridled in peace bonds.
A young man who is q servant for the
master OF the steamboat Mite Stephens,
was on his way from the vessel to the Cap
tain's house, Thursday night, carrying
val Sc, when he was assaulted by two men
of the stand.and.delivar kind, who brass
knuckled him, and took the baggage, leav-
ing the servant senseless. BE says the fel.
lows are cab drivers. An officer frightened
the robbers off, and took care of the valise
and the boy.
