Charles S stafford, for maintaining a

Grace Howard was arraigned on
the charge Of keeping asaison de joie.
The case was tried. by jury, and quite
number of spectators were in at
tendance. The lawyers squabbled
considerably-at least one of them
did, which was quite amusing to the
audience. As an objector," We
think the defendants attorney emit
tied to :" the horns" The case
went to the jury at late hour in the
evening, and after being out a con-
siderable time, they agreed to dis
agree, and were discharged. A new
jury will be impannelled, and the case
tried over again to-day.

Messrs. Grant, Pillsbury & Co., of
this city, have been awarded the con-
tract for building the bridge across
Green River for the Elizabethtown
& Paducah Railroad, at Rockport,
KY, together with the grading Of
about two miles of heavy embank-
ments approaching the bridge. The
whole contract will amount probably
to 100000. As a remarkable coin
cidence in this connection, We are in
formed that there were FIVE bids for
the work at the exact same figures,
and our citizens were lucky in secur-
ing the contract. They commence
work in few days.

Boy STABBED.-A lad about four
teen or fifteen years Of age, the son
of Anton Weissipg, got into fuss
with a couple of negro boys about bis
own age, yesterday morning, in front
of the African Church, on the corner
of Oak and Seventh Streets, and
struck the negro boy with his fist,
when the negro boy Immediately
stabbed him directly under the left
arm, inficting a painful but not a
dangerous wound. DR.. Williamson
dressed the wound. As the white
boy struck the first lick, he declined
to prosecute the negro boy.
On THE RAMPAGE.-Kate Simp-
son, demirep," who was shipped
from this city to Vineennes, some
time since. was shipped back last Sat
urday, By the Vincennes authorities,
who we're glad to get rid of her.
We understand that she was under
the case of distinguished citizen of
Vineennes, while on her way down on
the train, who showed her the most
delicate attention. 1t is also rumored
that bottle of d-eye," or +" boom
enickle," was in their possession, and
by frequent potations Of the fiery bev-
erage, they got in a weaving way.
Yesterday Kate went to Bishop
Bros. bar room, and IN a freak of
whisky devilment, broke the sash and
lights out Of two doors. A police
man was sent for to the engine house,
hut none being present, the bell was
tapped, and the Chief of Police soon
made his appearance, and after Wig
orous and spirited race for two squares
the enemy capltulated, and was es-
corted to the castle, followed by about
377 men and boys. who had assembled
in about three minutes. Hates trial
viii probably take place to-day.
IMPROVING LOCUST STREET.-It is
probable, at the Council meeting to-
night, that the question of extending
the time for boWldering Locust Street
will come up. We are Of the opinion
that the City Coun Gil, except foI ex-
