A COUPLE or REsPECTABLE CITIZENS
Or THEIR MUscLE.-Deputy Sheriff D. o.
March and Mr. Frank Campbell had dihh-
Guilty on Monday last, about an old law
SUIT, which resulted in an old fashioned
fight. March told Campbell that he had
acted the dog. Campbell promptly replied
- you are a liar, sir" Instantly upon this,
March burstsd jug OF vinegar ever Camp
bells head, and a regular I" set 10" between
them was at once inaugurated. Bystand-
ers separated the beIIigerents before serious
damage to either. The grand result may
be summed up as follows:-Csnpbell got =
black eye and a severely ehawed thumb
March lost jug Of vinegar and handful OF
Iuxuriant hair. Seriously, we regret that
such good and respectable citizens should
ever find it necessary to ego in on their
muscle;" but when they will do 50, we
hope that the splitting of vinegar and the
backing Of eyes will be the principle dam
age done.

FALSE REPORT,-T rumOr SO indus
triously circulated on Thursday, TO the ef-
feet that Mr.. Henry Sharp had attempted

society.
COOKED INDEED.-A good joke is told Oh
a lady ofthis city, who had been reared Il
the lap of luxury, but by the 8 cruel war
was forced to do her own homework, es
pecially the cooking. The first morning
that she cooked breakfast, the biscuit wer
50 hard that it was impossible to mastieat
them. They had to be chopped into SINAI
bits with Ratchet, and soaked in hot wa
ter, and then they went down like broke
rocks. There were several dozen left owe
after the painful meal, which the disguise
husband saved for the purpose of chunkin
misehevious hogs out Of his garden. Sew
eral well grown shOates were cruelty mm
dered before the biscuit were exhausted
One of the biscuit was preserved as q nat
ural curiosity, and given to distinguishes
surgeon to analise, but the strongest chen
icals failed to have any effect upon it what
ever.
