-- Business at the Mayors Court has
been dull the past week, Only one case
was up. A couple of colored girls had a
'set to" somewhere in the suburbs, on
Thursday last, in which biting, scratch
ing, wool-pulliEg, rending of garments,
and much "cussn" and calling of "pet
names" was INDUCED in. Marshal Stew

conflict was closing, and escorted the
belligerents to the Mayors office, where
they were charged 80 apiece for their

D r At the NJ. E. Church, just before the
congregation began to assemble on Sunday
fevening, one of the chandeliers fell and
broke to pieces, covering the floor where
it fell with burning coal oil, By the pres
ence Of mind of the colored Sexton and
one or two others in the church at the
time, the lamps were removed from the
building and the fire eXtnguished with
scarcely any damage resulting from the
accident further than the breaking of the |
lamps and chandelier.
gssA- Our gigantic friend, Ethan Allen,
woke the echoes in the regions round |
about the Treasurers Office on Tuesday, |
with smile" that brought people
swarming out of the business houses
along court street to see what was the
matter. We fear we shall never die happy |
until we have witnessed laughing
match between Mr. Allen and Geo, Wig
ginton for the championship. And then
we would like to back the winner against
the State.

thercceipts amounted to about SIS. The
festival will be continued this evening.
