{ RELLArRr, December %, 1869.

Editors of the Register:
Our city was disturbed slightly SAT-
urdsy night by an extra flow OF spirits
of night err. A party of fifteen lion
dealers came over from Benwood about
dark to see the prospect for business
They looked in all the saloons for q
fight, bus found in most the CROWDS
either too small or too large for their
metal. Dropping in at Jacob burst
saloon. on Water street, about eight
o'clock, they found what they were
looking for-four peaceable, quiet cltl
zens-whom they pounded until tirea
of the sport. They then beat hasty
retreat for West Virginia. On sun
day two of the iron men, james
and John McMannis, came over to
ace If apy one would have the impu-
dence to disturb them. Oficer McCor
mick (who is always ready for business)
heard of their arrival and concluded 10
talk the matter over quietly, but they
preferred foot race. Jim was brought
TO without trouble and handed over to
a bystander. Then lively race COM
menced for Jack, who proved himself a
mover of the first water. Officer Mac
not relishing the mud, fred shot after
him. which only had the effect OF In
creasing his speed. The race then con-
tinued to a point one mile below town.
No change could be rsticed in the rela.
tive position of the contestants until
they turned the last quarter, when Mac
strained every muscle and let out beau
tifully, closing upon Jack just as be was
crossing the line (water line) to enter
skiff. Jack is lively trotter and de-
serves to be we'll cared for. He is now
training in closed quarters, corner OF
Belmont and Second streets.
The colored troops were little eI-
cited. About the same time a party
were collected at one of their shebangs,
when little discussion arose respect
ing the merits of some of their ducks.
One Will Scott, porter at the American,
was particularly dumb. They could
not beat anything into his head, so a
dear friend cut it into his legs with
razor. DR.. Grafton was called on to put
a few stitches in to keep it there.
Christmas is almost over here. We
think we can get through by tomorrow
night.
The fair at the city hall under control
of the Catholic Church was opened on
Friday evening and will continue all of
this week. RAILROAD.
