Irish Catholics hold their celebra-
ton at Dille's Grove; INDUCED in
Terpsichorean exercises, beer, and some
whisky. This mixing Oftluids 80 affected
an unwary canal -boatman as to inspire
him with desire to clean out the con-
Germ" If it wouldn't use clubs. The con-
cern, however, not being in a mood TO
tolerate any sort Of cleaning out, did use
clubs, and the too confident boatman
came of with several ugly Commissions.
The German Turner'S convened at
Turner'S Hall and passed the day in gym
nastlc exercises, dancing, &c. Much beer
and some very large knives, for carving
ham, were specislties Of the Turner'S fes-
tiyities. A Mr.. VIM. Reed got possession
of one Of these knivGs-about as long as a
rall-and was having fine sport with it,
slashing about among tho hams, much to
the amusement Of his friends. But
one Of the managers, German named
Long, not feeling at all inclined to tolerate
such liberties, threatened ii ct arms, and
some other terrible things, il the knife was
not restored to him at once. Some con-
fusion here ensued, while several Of Reeds
friends assured Mr.. Long that no disturb
ance was intended, and that they
would see to 1t that the knife
was forthcoming, without further trouble.
The Dutchman was memorable, however,
and wanted to push things. Here a po-
lice officer made his appearance, and took
Reed into custody. At this juncture
Theod. Luman, the bland and genial clerk
Of the St. Nicholas, interposed to prevent
Reed being taken to the lookup. lie
tried To pour oil on the troubled waters;
told the officer he had witnessed the
whole affair, and was satisfied that moth
ing but little sport was meant by Reed
and his friends. But this was all nothing
to the officer-the municipal dignity was
outraged-he was sure the Council would
have no respect for him, or his family
or his ancestors, unless he enforced the
city ordinances. he further, casually,
intimatcd that he carried an instrument
with him for letting daylight into all Of
Tenders against the law. So Reed was
taken to tho lookup without further cere-
mony. A man by the name Of Gross at
tempted to perpetrate gross outrage, by
riding his horse around the Hall, to the
great danger Of beer tables, glasses, etc.
He was threatened with arrest under the
law in. such cases made and provided,
and tlereupon deststcd.
The Good Templars Of Mt. Savage and
Cumberland assembled at Barrellvlllc,
five miles distant, and passed very

had nothicg to drink stronger than lem
onade, and the writer hereof was conf
dcntially assured by 10. Rowe that the
most, If not all Of them, returned home
entirely sober. Several arrests were
made during the day, and, amongst the
rest, a "cullud individual" who being
put into n cell with two sons of Erin, they
fell to work and mauled him dreadfully.
