au On THE RAMPAGE.-0n Saturday
night woman with little girl three
or four years old, got on the Morning
Star to come to this city. Processing
to have but two dollars, the clerk of
the boat agreed to bring her to this
city for that amount. She soon began
to make herself disagreeable, and
finally become so obstreperous that
Capt. Hollcroft ordered her ashore,
but she refused to go, and became vi
Imperative. With the aid of four
men she was sent down to the lower
deck, and kept there until the boat
landed here. She left the boat bathed
in tears, and attempted to arouse the
sympathies of the pc 0ple by declaring
that she had been robbed by the Off
GERS of the boat; that instead of Civ
ing the clerktWo dollars, she had, by
mistake, given him twelve dollars,
and that he had kept it all. Passen-
gers by the boat fatty contradicted
her story, and her effort to nanufac-
ture sympathy resulted in creating
disgust. In her struggles with the
men who assisted her from the cabin,
her dress was badly torn, and with
her bloated face and rent garments
she presented dilapidated appear
ance.

ACCIDENT. y On Friday night, at
Princeton, while the Grant Gun
Squad of this city vas firing salute,
premature discharge took place. by
which the face of one of the men was
badly but not dangerously burned.
Fortunately fer the gunner, whose
name is VIM. Hiedorn, he had pulled
the ramrod and moved slightly back
from the gun, which no doubt saved
his life. Extreme caution should be
observed in firing the cannon, and it
is to be hoped that we may not be
called upon to, record another acci-
dentsof this kind. " i-fa

of the most effective stump speakers
Of the age At the close of his re-
marks, three rousing cheers were
given for Grant and Colfax, Baker

with will, for the Board Of Coun y
