RESISTING AN OFyIcER. = Sometimes
men will fall out about the most trivial
affairs and fight like cats and dogs. Mr..
Thomas Mahona and some other man had
a dispute about fee dog. The matter
was of such grave Importance that
policeman was compelled to interfere to
prevent fight But officers of the law
should be patient and not easily angered;
they should not mix in private matters,
only to preserve order and enforce the
law. Patrolman Smith was little too
free with his club on the head Of Mr..
Mahona, judging from the evidence
brought before the court this morning.
An officer has no right to draw on his
Imagination in presuming man might
shoot him, unless the man shows dispo-
sition TO do so. That policemen have
been killed in the ordinary discharge of
their duties is true; such q risk is neces-
sarily run by those who perform the
Office. The man who would not take the
risk should leave the force; or otherwise
he might act a little too hastily, as did
Mr.. Policeman Smith in arresting Mr..
Mahona, whose head paid the penalty.

A WARNING TO BACHELoRs.-A case of
copjugal bliss was laid open to the as
tonishing gaze Of old bachelors this morn
ing. That the sea of matrimony is often
disturbed by tempest, threatening to
wreck the fondest hopes of Hymen's
subjects, is not surprising. But when
we see man in court with his face
scratched, and his wife standing at the
same bar of justice with black eye, we
exclaim in the language of Mother
Goose's melodies, Consider, COW, con-
sider." What is this the life of bliss
and happiness that the God of
Love has promised to human beings
caught in wedlock Alas how uncer-
tain is human bliss in this world.
Is there no security against the unknown
ills of matrimony2 Shall we shut our
eyes and jump into the darkness ahead ?
Echo answers, "Shall we" Our own
hearts sometimes say we shall. But We
would request our lady love to pare care
fully her finger nails and promise never
to let them grow. In such disarmed
state one might feel little secure; 9TH
erwise, a mans countenance might look
striped, as did this morning our friends,
Alfred Tatum, who had been engaged in
disastrous quarrel with his wife. The
loving pair were fined FIVE dollars each,
and then permitted to again try the
stern realities of life.
