Two KSorrr QUESTIONS sKrrIsp IN ONE
DAY.-on Saturday morning Julius Clark,
colored, was arrested by 0nlces Anthony, on
the complaint Of Oliver Scott, Who charged
Clark with making threats V shoot him.
Tho accused was arraikncd befnre Justice
David r. Smith, whcrc the ovidsnsc adduced
was 10 the eflect that Scott e asparking"
the sister Of Clark, with ssnAlice afore-
thought" 10 marry her. Clsrk Injected to
being the posscssor Of brothsr-in-law, and
during ono Of the vIsIts Of Scott 70 his sister
whispered something about "puttng him
out Of the way" which Scott construed into
threat 70 pile earth on his inanlfnato body.
Tho Justice viewed the matter rs hardly
worthy the appellation Of atsmpest In q
teapot, !" and dismissed tho case. whoreupon
complainant and defendant shook hands and
repaired to q lager beer saloon, and sealed
their loves BY an expenditure often cents In
"swei lager."
In the afternoon the same magistrate was
visited by ikely;looking young colored
woman, named Lizzie Boston, who preferred
q charge OF assault and battery committed
upon her by Nathaniel, her "liege lord"
Counsel was employed on both sides, and
the defence argued that the wife was not a
competent witness against her husband,
while the prosecution contended, II such was
the construction ofthe law, no wife would be
safe from the assaults Of brutal husbands,
who generally committed offences against
\ their ''harmlcss" wives outside the view Of
\ gaping world. The assault aud battery
was not clearly proven to the satisfaction Of
the Justice, aud, after q wcll-timed and
| effective lecture TO Mr.. Boston, dismissed
the charge, promising, should another com.
plant OF a similar character be lodged
| agninst him, he would be compelled to put
the laws "scrcws" to him.
In connection with the above ease, II Is n
little singular that about seven months ago
Lizzie and Nathaniel, all smiles and love,
should have found their way into the Office
Of Justice Smith, TO whom they made known
their intention OF becoming "nesh Of ono
acsh," whercupon couple Of ministers
were dispatched for, who soon arrived, and
performed the interesting ceremony OF 'join-
Ing together what no man shall put asunder." +"
ON Saturday, In the same office, the but
lately married couple seemed as desirous OF
untying tho "Gordlan knott as they were
anxious 10 embark on the smooth current Of
life's happy Journey.
