A RAID ON THE GALooTs.-The police
on yesterday afternoon made a raid on
our professional galoots, who have been
on the war path for day or two, and
last night the calaboose was filled with
them. A handsomer lot was never seen,
and the Police Court this morning will
glisten with them. First, there is the
gorgeous Boose Leasure, who disputes
with Toby Vance the honor OF being
crowned Emperor of all the Galoots, a
situation made vacant by the death oil
Jim Finn. Next in order is the Gentle
Gooseberry, that pink of propriety and
pattern of sobriety-when he isn't
drunk. Then Jimmy Johnson No. 2
highly favored, gorgeously arrayed and
model Of manly beauty-when the
standard of beauty isn't high. Besides
these are others Of lesser fame, whose
names have escaped US. But the three
are enough. No. city in the land car
turn out such another trinity OF tirs'
class loafers, either one Of whom would
be subject for an artist.

MARr1NsyILLE ITEMs.-Martinsville

MARTINsvILLE ITEMs.-Martlnsvllle
has one very unwelcome visitor in the
character of smallpox Mr.. McNeers
son is afflicted with this much feared
and loathsome disease, which has been
such a scourge during the last year to
the people OF the United States as well
as to foreign countries. There being
but one case in the town, the Town
Council has taken measures to prevent
the spread OF this dread disorder any
further, go the people need not be de-
TERED from visiting the town in couSe'
quence of this disease, or listen to the
exaggerated reports which may grow
out OF this isolated case.
The incorporated company for the
purpose Of manufacturing brick and tile
is likely to be fixed fact. We under
stand that there are from thirty-tve to
forty thousand dollars already taken in
the capital stock ofthe company. The
location is to be few miles above
Martinsville, on Mr.. F. Vests farm.
We have no doubt it will be a paying
business. There is large demand for
both fire and red brick, and the demand
is still increasing every year.

RErRENcHMENT.-The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue has given orders to
all the Supervisors in the country to
examine into the condition Of the As
SCISSORS offices in their respective dis
tricts, with view to reducing the ex-
penses for clerical assistance therein to
the lowest possible point consistent
with a proper discharge OF the duties Of
the service. 1t is thought $4,000 an
nually can be saved by the intended
retrenchment. Wonderif the approach
ing Presidential election has anything
to do with this movement

CHEAP GooDs.-Messrs Emsheimer d
Blum will add this morning to their
closing out sale, their entire stock OF
underwear, hosiery and gloves, adapted
for ladies', gents and youths wear,
which comprises the choicest selections
of foreign and domestic productions;
also, choice stock Of all wool felt skirts,
velveteens, furs, shawls, and all wooden
goods generally, which will be offered
remarkably cheap. Judging from the
increased rush of buyers daily at this
store, we presume goods are sold at
extremely low figures, Notwithstanding
the recent advance on all kinds OF dry
goods. This firm, however, seems to be
determined to sell off their stock. Be
sides this, they will continue to sell the
best six cord thread at SC spool, which
is certainly the cheapest machine cotton
ever offered in this country, and should
draw out large forces of buyers.

AFFRAY.-About nine

SHOOTING AFFRAY.-About nine
o'clock, Monday night, George Melon
aid, might boss at the Baltimore and
Ohio machine shops, was shot by John
Mccain, a locomotive engineer, and
severely wounded in the right shoulder.
The circumstances as near as we can
&c. at them are these: McGann has
been annoyed for some time by stories,
said to emanate from Mcdonald, de,
rogatory to the character Of his family,
and he became very excited over them.
Acting under the advice Of friends,
Mccain has avoided Mcdonald, 50
that for month past there has been
no word passed between them. When
Mcdonald came into a room or q crowd
where McGann was the latter would 60
away, not wishing to let his passion get
the better of him. During the past
two or three days McGann has heard
several most outrageous stories, which
were said-though with how much
truth we do not know-to have origin
ated with Mcdonald. These worked
him up to a pitch of frenzy, and be
determined to have a settlement with
Mcdonald, ascertain if he did start the
ISLANDERS, and if he did to punish him
for them. With this view, on Monday
evening he went to the office at the east
side of the shops, usually occupied by
Mr.. Weisgarber, and there found
Mcdonald and several other parties
seated around the stove. As McGann
came in Mcdonald attempted to rise.
The former told him to "keep
his seat. H. had q little matter
to settle with him." The latter
rose, however, and went towards Nc.
Gam, saying 81 never done anything
to you, john" McGann again told
him to "go back" and as the other
kept coming toward him he fired, the
shot entering the top OF the right shout
der breaking the bone and inhicting a
severe but not a dangerous wound. The
parties then grappled, and in the melee
Mcdonald received a cut on the head
from large iron nut, key or some In
of that sort. Mcdonald was
taken to his home on Jacob street, and
DR.. Frissell was called to dress his
wounds. McGann was not arrested
until about 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, although he went to his residence
and did not leave it until the officers
came for him. Neither the City Ser
geant nor his deputies were informed Of
the shooting until after midnight, the
parties who witnessed the ARRAY seem
ing not to know that it was their duty
to at once convey the information to the
police.
Yesterday morning McGann was
taken before Squire Forbes, and had
the examination continued until Satur-
day, in order to give him time to pre-.
pare for his defense. Bail was required
in the sum of $4,000 for his appearance
at that time.
We cannot give any opinion as to the
unfortunate affair. Both the parties we
know well, and are inclined to think
that there is some misunderstanding
about it that will be explained when
the facts are all drawn out on an in
vestigation. We have given the facts
as near as we could get at them, and
what we have given above will be found
to be nearer correct than the thousand
and one rumors that were flying around
Yesterday morning.

entirely so,' replied the patient. "because
your person is betwixt him and me, but
observe has skull peering above your shoul-
der" The doctor, despite his philosophy,
made an involuntary start on receiving
this circumstantial information of the prox-
unity of the spectre to his own person. He
resorted to other remedies, but without
success. The sufferer sank deeper every
day into detection, and not long afterwards
he died in the same distress of mind in
which he had fingered on through the
closing years of his melancholy life. In
both these stories the apparition was de-
finite and constant in form, so far at least
as the description of the patients them
selves is to be relied upon; and it seems
at first sight difficult to understand how an
accidental opacity within the eye could
give rise to a clearly defined object such
as ''cat," or skeleton" or "gen-
tleman usher" But on further consider
alton the difficulty will appear less for
midable. In the first place, it may be
taken for granted that in each instance the
sight was more or less impaired, and that
all external objects were seen with dim
and hazy outline; every thing, in fact,
was seen through mist or fog. But it
is we'll known that objects are much alter
ed in shape and appearance when seen
through misty atmosphere or in the dusk
of the evening; and tbs almost always un-
der such circumstances the ghosts have
been seen.
