We are happy 10 say TO our q
and the public that the party men
toned in our report of the murder at
Nan McGinnis', on Saturday night, is
not Mr.. Wilson Harry, of the old
and well-knOwn house Of Clark, Ely

similarity of names should have led to
the error.

Disorderly," generally comprised the

We noticed two fishing parties
starting over to the Arkansas shore
yesterday morning. We understand
that the fishing in the bayous has been
very good for the past few days.
"A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at the Poplar street market

dates were present.

W tho UnII EnOuTD uatph pnaEar apd

One of the several boarding houses
on Beale street is very much afraid
that it will be taken as
the place where the hair in To- hash
caused a wedding to be postponed,
and calls on us to give names. We
decline doing 50, as we have no idea
Of getting licked by the r~ed-headed
young gent who has taken ON himself
the consolation of the disappointed
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. NO-no; it is
quite enough to give the street.
DIR. Rogers, of this city, has been
lecturing with marked effect and re-
suits upon the subject of Ritualism,
in New York and Baltimore recently.
In the latter city the audience was
very large, comprising the elite of the
city and many of the more distin-
guished dignitaries of the Roman
Catholic Church, among them the
venerable Archbishop Spaulding and
the Bishop of North Carolina.
We would suggest to those men,
bers of the police force who are so
ready to whip out a pistol and shoot
down any poor unlucky cur that hap
pens to come unmuZzled into their
august presence, TO have the carcases
hauled away some time within a
week after killing them. There is, or
was, yesterday morning, a large dog
lying on the corner of Washington
and Fourth streets, that was killed
there on Friday morning last. The
weather being warm, the smell, of
course, is delightful, reminding one
very forcibly of a radical meeting in a
close room.
The Cas of ID. II. HOLE, before
Esquire John Norton, came up for
trial yesterday afternoon, and was
dismissed by the prosecutor-he (the

it was stated last week the bond was
forfeited, when the facts were, the
hNltllNltlitb Muo HlNh III Dtus MI IIOllt 1
is too well known In this community
to need any remark from us in justifi-
cation of his discharge. The prose-
cutor was a Mr.. Morrison, who is the
proprietor or clerk in the drug store,
corner of Washington and Main
streets.
"A drunken negro named Sam
Steele, was standing in front of the
Greenlaw Opera House, flourishing a
knife and whOOping and yelling yes
terday about noon, when he attracted
the attention Of officer Brandy of the
Second District, who went to arrest
him; Steele resisted, but Brandy
managed to get possession ofthe knife,
and started with him down to the
house. The black villain went
along quietly until he saw that
Brandy's attention was drawn of, and
then he lep't upon him and a struggle
ensued, in which the negro bit q
piece out of Brandy's cheek. Brandy
the knife in his posses
sion was about to use it, when
deputy Sheriff Williams interfered
and prevented him-which was a very
great pity, indeed. The negro was
carried to the station house
and locked up. The wound on officer
Brandy's face, while not a very seri-
Gus one, is very painful and ugly. We
the black rascal will be given the
extent of the law.
