St. Patricks Day and Norah 0'Heill.
EDITOR LEDGER: Your publication of
my note in your issue of the 9th instant
places me under obligation; your giving
these few lines place in your columns,
in answer to Mr.. Boroihme," will place
me under renewed obligations. Mr..
Boroihme " kindly informs nae the
Catholics and Episcopalians are not in
the habit of attending balls during the
season of Lent; therefore there will be
no fandango on St. Patrick's night"
Now, Mr.. Editor, / must confess my
ignorance of what he calls fandango (;
and if Mr.. Boroihme thinks fan
dango out of place in Lent among
Catholics and Episcopalians, l have no
objection, for / am sure did not desire
to have q fandaDgo on ST. Patrick s
night; and what / meant by "a ball "
ON the occasion was genuine Irish reel,
such as we used to have at home on the
green Irish lawns; and St. Patrick 8
day was never considered at home as a
Day of Lent, season Of penance and
modification, but day of universal
rejoicing, and as such observed both
there and in this country.
thereby inform Mr.. "Boroihme" that
commend his programme for the benefit
of the orphans" lecture on st. Pat
rick and the Irish Church which j
and mine will attend, and to which we
will contribute, according to our means
but protest against his Introduction of a
time-honored custom, which, until now,
has never been objected to, even in
Memphis-but in order that i. (Memphis)
may obtain q good name our ball must be
dispensed with.
Mr.. Boroihme " are you member oil
an officer OF any Of the Irish societies men
toned by me in my former note-and, i
so, do you speak with authority
Mr.. Editor, / am not strong minded
woman, in the modern sense of The
verdi despise them-but love the
green fag-the dear immortal green
which, with the shamrock, hope to see
nay brave countrymen wear on the com
ing anniversary, with whom, in the even
ing, hope to associate and mingle in al
Irish reel-the introductory proclamation
of Boroihme" TO the contrary not
withstanding.

ST. Patrick's Day.

EDrroRs LEDGER: Permit me to state
to Boroihme," and all interested in the
subject, that the entertainment on ST.
Patricks night, in behalf Of st. Patrick &
Church, is to be one in every respect
suitable and appropriate. The occasion
is one of rejoicing to every one inter
ested in Christianity and Of dear
memory and patriotic feeling to Irish
men. There will be eloquent addresses
appropriate to the occasion delivered 81
the entertainment, so that those disposed
to hear something worth listening to may
be pleased and in other respects the en-
joyments will be BETTING the time Il
appears to be in bad taste TO make light
of the proceeding because another enter
tainment is contemplated on that even
ing, and, in his zeal and holy indignation
of Boroihme," should remember the
adage live and let live" as we'll as the
fact that Irishmen are not wont to SIT
stiffly at a lecture, however able, on st.
Pstrick's night On suitable occasions
Irishmen nobly respond TO every dessrv
ing call for aid, but ST. Patrick's night Is
allied to all that bears bis name. Sons
aud daughters Of St Patrick land, come
and meet each other in amiiy and hap
piness at the festival. HIBERSIcUs.

BLOODY Cvrrrro AvyaAr.--Last nieht


about eleven o'clock serious cutting
took place near the corner Of Main and
Adams streets, between a man named
William Grammar and younger man Of
twenty named John Riley. The latter
was escorting home a female from a
noted saloon, and Grammar, it appears,
was walking in front Of them, and
imagined or made believe that he was
followed, and accos.ed Riley in an in
shifting manner. Riley retorted and
Grammar Immediately assaulted him with
q clasp-knife, and cut him severely in
the arm, side and head. Riley did not
see the knife, and defended himself with
his fist. standing square on his muscle,
according to the orthodox rules of
the legitimate prize ring. He had q
derringer in his pocket, which he could
easily have used, and would, if he had
ksown that his opponent had knife.
The police arrested them, discovered the
cuts on Riley and the pistol in his
pocket. They were both taken to the sta
tionhouse. This morning Riley was able
to be present at the Police Court, though
in weak condition, and was fined five
dollars for carrying concealed weapons.
Grammar was held on the charge of as
sault with intent to kill, and has to be
turned over to the State authorities. The
knife which he used was produced in
court and was clogged with blood. He
was cut once or twice himself, slightly,
in the hand, but he had little sympathy
from the spectators. He was formerly a
respectable river. Waterman, but has fall.

some jewslry and other vsluables. Mr..
McGregor never obtained any traces Of
