DisOrder1y.

There was considerable disorder at the corner
of Gay and Main streets late yesterday after
noon. Marsh Walker and Charley Swaib got
into difficulty, about what we did not learn
somebody said nothing-and once we heard
they were to 60 south Of the river and fight it
out but we believe the plan of a dael was finally
dispensed with. We did not learn the terms of
the treaty.
About the same time Volney Gifin got into
a fever and applied the toe of his boot to an old
man named Wallace who had bag on his
shoulder and bucket in his hand. He had said
something about being a rebeP' and sauntered
about very unconcerned while it took two men to
hold Volney off of him. We think whisky was
at the bottom of it. No arrests were made that
we heard of.

Anderson, = chincapin boy at the depot'yester'
day and made precipitate retreat among the
lumber piles in the car shop yard. A police

About that time Peter Shea arrested black

before Justice Jourolmon, who fined him $500
and sent him to the workhouse

The Corn Market Opened.

The market for new corn opened yesterday at
80 cents per bushel. Henry Bowman brought
down barge load which was taken by Parme-
tiers livery stable at the aboveprice Bowman
says there is plenty more where this came from,
and better corn, too. There is no short crop in
his neighbarhood.
This seems to us something remarkable when
we reflect upon the many complaints of drouths
which have reached US. Almost every kind of
crop has been a partial failure, lin some cases
nearly total,) and yet corn opens at only so
cents. We can only conclude that money is
very scarce.
