Considerable excitement was
created in Hell's half-acre yesterday
by Tom Brown and his cara spOsd,
Miss Brown alias Mollie Jones. This
happy pair had a terrific rencenter,
and Brown, getting hold of MOllie,
gave her a trOuncing with a club that
she will not soon forget. They were
arrested and locked up in the Second
district.
The question was raised yesterday
among some gentlemen learned
in the law whether Mr.. Boughner's
office was not out of the district TO
which he is restricted by law. He is
in the fifth while the county seat is in
the fourteenth, and the law states that
the Office of the Commissioner of Reg
istration shall be at the seat Of the
county.
1t is fondly hoped by those citi-
Zens resident in the neighbOrhOOd of
the corner of Second and Madison
streets, that the free fight inaugurated
at Stillman Hall on Monday night by
the black ragamuffins, who have held
there for weeks past a kind of DEVILS
Auction, was sufficiently damaging to
the participants therein to warrant
the police in putting az embargo on
the place.
The news from Crittenden is about
the same. 1t is known that Golfers
horse has been seen in the possession
OfOne of the rowing squads of negroes,
and it is therefore surmised that he
has been killed. Two young men
named Andrew Gilbert, and Olney
Garrett, living at Marion, were COM
PEELED to leave their homes at two
o'clock yesterday morning by a band
of negroes, headed by Wilson, who
caused their trunks to be broken open
and baggage searched before they left.
DR.. Shaw received a most terrible
keelhauling from Mr.. Ball, Deputy
Marshal of the Municipal Court, yes
| terday evening about five O'clock.
The two gentlemen had been enjoy
ing a friendly game of euchre during
the afternoon, but had quarreled over
it, and had a little "set-to." They
were parted, and Mr.. Ball left the
| scene of the first combat, and went
| down Second street. The Doctor, how
ever, after he was gone, not having
gotten over the anger engendered by
| the first scrimmage, determined to
follow him. He did So, and in ex-
actly twenty seconds after he found
him he might have written the
famous dispatch enormously attribu-
ted to Julius BOnaparte, We have
met the enemy and we are theirn."
It appears that he found Mr.. Ball at
Louis beer saloon OniSecond, between
Madison and Court streets, and re-
neWad the combat by calling him a
liar and making a lick at him with
his cane. Ball lodged the lick, and
Selling the cane Wrenched it from
him, and then proceeded to apply il
seclmduH dTten1 over ShaW's head and
shoulders; The blows were delivered
with terrific force, causing the claret
to flow quite freely, and had not sew
eral gentlemen who were in the vi,
cinity interfered, there is no telling
what the affair might have ended in.
As it was, the Doctor got off with a
few severe bruises, which were
dressed by DR.. Taylor. Mr.. Ball was
arrested and put up a forfeit for hi,
appearance this morning at the First
District Station,
We learn by q letter from District
No. 4 of Hardeman county, that at {
recent school exhibition" in that
neighbOrhOOd a scene occurred not
down on the bills, and which dis.
played to the best advantage the
pluck of a Tennessee maiden, when
her "dander is riz," OccasiOning nc
little sensation and merriment. 1t i.
thus described by cur correspondent
After the exercises Of the day were
over, and a substantial dinner had
been partaken of by the guests, i
young lady made her way through
the crowd to a young man who had
been making rather free use of her
name, add dragging a pistol demanded
an apology from him, He hesitated,
and the lady, holding II in her i6ft
hand, leveled the weapon at his head,
but he was too quick for her, and
seized it in such a manner as to pre-
vent her using it. Fooled in her
amiable desire to blow his brains out.
she raised a rawhide that she heid IL
her right hand, and laid it over his
head and shoulders with a hearty
good will that made the Lothario
howl like a coyote. Continuing
to hold on to the pistol, thf
young lady laid on the raWhide until
he let loose the weapon and broke for
his horse, the lady following close at
his heels and %larruping him at every
step. He lost no time in mounting,
catching it from the Infatuated damsel.

brute, and receiving a " last tag" as
he put spurs and sloped from the dig

the assembled cPOWd. The last that
was seen of him WIS about thirteen
miles from the school house, when he
was riding at fall gaTlQp, and d6dgiHg

distance. From all accounts he is still
running.
