LOCAL ITENIS-

LAME DEFENsE.-The Review OF last
evening attempted q defense OF its
carelessness, if nothing worse, in pub
fishing an item (which afforded occasion
for the deadly ARRAY" on Monday even
ing. The Review failing to clear its
skirts by showing that it had correctly
reported Mike Hollands words in regard
to the shooting on Sunday night, tries
TO blacken the memory of poor Charley
Hickey and to defame the unfortunate
Mr. Holland, who is unable to defend
himself. by the insinuation that there
was something back" Of the item which
led to the affray. 1t also claims to have
heard it on all sides that there was "a
woman at the bottom of it. - This is but
a weak effort on the Reviews part to
divert public attention from its own
puilt to a contemplation of the assumed
indiscretion of the two parties to the
late ARRAY. The Review has given its
readers at least one piece OF news, for
until that paper appeared last evening no
one supposed that there was any woman
in the case. Indisputable evidence can
be obtained that Holland and Hickey,
with several others, had just drank
together -Holland and Hickey being on
the most friendly terms-when Hickey
read the offensive item in the Review,
and turning to Holland asked if he had
given the item. Holland said no, bnt
Hickey said he must have done SO, and
Immediately after the ARRAY COM
menced. The Review may find fault
with the RECORD for not censuring the
officers who gave way to their feelings
and made use OF weapons on the streets,
but that will not excuse ii for being the
means of bringing on the quarrel and
then of trying to raise the Impression
that something else than its item brought
on the difficulty.
The FUNERAL of G. Hickey took place
yesterday afternoon. Soon after 4
o'clock the procession left the Court
House and proceeded up Main street,
thence through Cedar street to Meadow
Valley street and thence to the Catholic
burying ground. The hearse was at
tended by eight pail bearers and followed
by not less than two hundred citizens
on foot, in carriages and horseback. As
the long procession slowly and solemnly
wound its way along the principal streets
one could not help regretting that man
in the prime OF life, full of health and
strength should be SO suddenly called &c
his final account, through an alteration
caused by the publication of a paragraph
which was construed to reflect on the
unfortunate deceased. When the cold
hand of death is stretched over fellow.
being, all his deeds done in the flesh are
covered by the sacred protection of the
grave and We can only reverently hope
that the mercy Of the Creator may bt
