REcoRDER's CoURF.-Vina Carter,
a colored female, was taken before
the Recorder yesterday, charged with
disorderly conduct, using obscene
language, and throwing a Ratchet at
Jim Junkens. We will let our poet
ical machine tell the story:
! VIna is a tender girl,
Although d.srk-skinned maiden,
| But n Ratchet she did deftly hurl,
And swear around amaz1n'.
This the Recorder did not like;
| Nulgartty must not thrive,
SO on his docket he did write,
| Six dollars thtrty-dve.
VIVA did not have the Sc 30, and
she went to the Castle.
DR.. T. f. Sehaffer, a stranger
was next in order on a charge oil
being disorderly, and was fined So 40
He had no money, and was sent tt
the lookup.
Jim Carroll, a gay and frisky
darkey, had an idea that he was some
pumpkins" and got into fuss OF
the steamer Fanny Brandeis, and wa:
put ashore. He threw a bowldel
through one of the sky lights, by way
of revenge, and the Tycoon bowled
Jim for S13 s.. Jim was out O.
funds, and will work his fine out or
the streets.
In Mondays JOURNAL. In our pc
lice items, we stated that Mrs. Bofen
dick had been fined So 10 for buyins
vegetables to sell again. 1t seem:
that we were misinformed. Mrs. B
was arrested, but it turned out tina
she purchased the articles for her owl
use, and she was therefore very prop,
erly released, without uny further
prosecution. and without being fined
NARROW EscAPE.-An old gentle
man named Fred. Evils, had a narrow
escape from death yesterday. He wa
having a load of hay weighed at tn,
lower scales, and got upon the tongu,
Of the wagon with the lines wrapped
around his arm. An express Wagon
happened along at that time anC
scared his team, and he was thrown
down under his wagon, the wheel
passing over his right shoulder, anC
just grazing his neck. Strange to sa!
he was not much hurt, although thu
hay weighed $500 pounds. DR.. Kres
was called to see him, bat the ole
gentleman went home in a short tim,
after the accident.
