PRIZE FIGHT.-A couple of covies
who had little set-to," on Third
Street, yesterday, not feeling satisfied
with the result, agreed to match for a
fight.
Money was staked, we are Informed,
and the parties repaired outside of the
city limits, and had an interesting
set-to" to the satisfaction of both.
This fight was talked of on the streets
yesterday evening. and, indeed, was
the topic of conversation in certain
circles hours before it came off.
Many citizens express surprise that
the parties were allowed to fight. We
think such disgraceful conduct ought
not to be permitted. The parties, as
we are informed, were Jack Hitch and
AL. Stanley. Hitch was the victor,
but how many rounds were fought we
could not learn.

MEETING IN GERMAN TOWNSHIP.
A large number of the Republican
friends Of German Township assem-
bled yesterday afternoon at the house
Of Mr.. Rosenmeyer, on the New nar-
mOny road, seven miles from the city.
A respectable pole was ready for rails
ing, but it was concluded it might as
well be a little taller. ACCORDINGLY
some men were sent to the woods fo,.
additional timber. This arrived in
due time. The splice was made in
short order, and before seven o'clock
beautiful pole, one hundred feet
high, surmounted by an iron man on
horseback, bore aloft a streamer in
scribed with the names of Grant and
Colfax. As soon as the pole was
fairly secured, the company closed
upon and around the porch of Mr..
Koesnmeyer's, where they were treat
ed to a speech both patriotic aud elo-
quent from that sterling Republican,
Dr. Anton Fahrer. German Town
snip Is wide awake, and Democratic
victory there is thing of the past, to
be repeated nevermore. @

was quite large. and the bidding quite
lively. The first bale, offered was a
premium bale from Alabama. the
first bale of new cotton received in
the city this season, and for which
our merchants paid premium ofone
hundred dollars. This bale was rap
idly run up from twenty-five cents to

at nineteen cents, and six bales of or

the higher styles of comedy is of
no secondary order. Miss Rickcords

charming, and Mr.. Murray and Mrs.
Coleman Pope were no less happy
in their respective roles. Miss Hattie
W hitney won renewed applause by
her natural aud easy rendition of the

best performance throughout yet pre-
sented during the season.
The same play wifi be presented
again tonight for the last time, and
all that would see really delightful

merit is that it is short, occupying
only about two hours in its produc-

Nevertheless, there was a right good
audience. The play was decidedly

throughout. There are but eight
characters in the play, and two of
these are rather supernumerary,

was so admirably done that it
bore more than a supernumerary char
