a Ecniun Victory.

On Tuesday evening last, March 10Th, just be-
fore blowing of the whistle at the P. q F. Shops,
the boys were treated to the enliycuing scene of
puglistic encounter between Mike Ryon, boss
Of the loating gang, and George Mason, boss of
the carpenter shops. Mike is an lrishman, and
Of course, a Fcnian, and when roligiously ncln-
ed counts his beads. George is an Hinglishmau,
and bel ngs to the established church and hates
some lrishmen, especially Fenians. Between
these two personages there has long existed Il
hitter fcud, which has often found vent in words,
but lot until the above time did ii come to blows.
The encounter lasted but II short time, Mason
being throttlcd aud having received a few well
directed shOls from Il Fenian battcI, and with
tongue protruding came ont second best. The
above occurrence is much regretted, because the
parties so engaged are liable to be dealt with ac
cording TO the Book of Rules of the shops. which
prohibits fighting between working hours by en-
plOyees. II also puts the General Foreman in
a delicate position, who, it is believed, sympa-
thizes strongly with Mike, and when the pro-
spectivc is taken into consideration it is safe to
assume will deal gently with George.

HoOFLAND's GERMAN TONIC,

Was compounded for those not inclined to ex-
treme btters, and is intended for use in cases
when some alcoholic stimulant is required in co y
nection with the tonic properties of the Bitters.
Each bottle of the Tonic contains one bottle Of
the Btters, combined with PURGE SANTA CRUZ
RUM, aud favored in such manner that the ex-
treme bitterness of the bittcrs is overcome, form
ing preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
TO the palate, and containing the medicinal vir-
tues Of the Bitters. The price of the Tonic is 81.
50 per Bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that
the stimuant used is guaranteed to be Of a pure
quality. \ poor article could he furnished at Il
cheaper price, but is it not better to pay little
more and have good artclel \ Amedcinal pre-
paration should contain none but the best iugre-
dients; and they who expect to obtain n cheap

tauly be cheated.
