POLICE CouRr.--That the condition
of the atmosphere has great deal to-
do with the. condition of the Police
Court, we have no longer a doubt.
When on Friday we saw by the barome-
ter that rain was probable, we said to
ourself "galoots will make their appear
ance tomorrow. And they did. There
were three of them.
John Murphy was one OF them.
John was about as full as he could
hold and not slop over. He had an
indstinct notion that it was time for
him to be hunting his respective place
of abode. So he started down Nam
street, when somehow his legs became
tangled and he fell down on pile OF
boards One Of these boards was Just
on a pivot and made capital "see-saw.
Every time John tried to get up he
would get on one end Of this board, and
Srockr tLe other end would take him
on the back of the head. He would
roll off and again try to get up, with
another whack from the board and
another roll of. He afforded tie most
unbounded delight to a large number OF
very respectable Main streeters. lie
was finally gathered up by an officer
and hurled into the calaboose. lie
paid 81 and costs to avoid taking lessons
in geology.
John McClaren was a. delightfully."-
drunk a. there was any necessity for a
person being. His being plain drunk
and entirely free from scollops, or dis
orderly complications, he was fined 81
and costs. Not having 50 much filthy
lucre, he has gone where geology
reigneth, to the geological academy OF
Prof Price, where the scholars receive
thirty-fye cents day and board.
Oscar Winesburg was captured Oh
Market street hy Officer Jnnkins de
plorably drunk Oscar didn't care a
continental whether school kept Or not,
he had his keg full and had no children
to send. lie issued stamps to the
amount of 81 and costs, and thus
avoided the necessity Of breaking stone
as a member of that useful and orna,
mental body known as the chain gang.
