Police Items.

At the Recorder 5 Court this morning
John johnson and Sam Carry were each
fined fifty dollars for assault and bat
terry, fifty dollars for carrying concealed
weapons, and we're committed in default
Of two thousand dollars bonds each on
the charge of beating with pistols John
Mulvihill. The ARRAY or assault took
place last night in the domicil of Ike
Sloan, situated in the alley between
Washington and Poplar streets, during
the progress of a terpsichorean blowout,
given by the proprietor to his friends,
both male and female. Although in an
Upper Ten 4" neighborhood, it was de-
cidedly a Lower Twenty affair.
Thomas MeClune, colored, stole pair
of boots, and not being able to foot up
two thousand dollars bond, was trans
ferred to the county prison. Quite a
number of "drunks and disorderlies
contributed the usual fee Of FIVE and ten
dollars to the city treasury.

To-day we have a telegram from St..
Louis stating that the river is open be-
tween that point and Cairo, and already
one boat, the ST. Joseph, left St. Louis
last night, and several more will doubt
less leave there to-day. -Four or FIVE
boats that have been waiting at Cairo
will also start for St. Louis to-day, and
in the course Of q week we may safely
expect busy times at our landing, which
forihe past month or two has been any
thing but interesting. There is less ice
passing Cairo today from the Missis-
sippi, and the Ohio between there and
Evansville is nearly clear. The Signal
Bureau kilograms, tabulatsd above, show
a very rapid rise in the Ohio at Cincin-
matt, and prospects for another rise at
Pitisburg are favorable. There is still,
however, an ample depth there to send

A Reer Keg CoincIdence

Yesterday afternoon draymar
stopped his drayload of beer kegs on
Main street, near Monroe, for the pur-
pose of arranging the kegs in better
position. Selling one of the kegs, he
threw it off. 1t rolled about twenty
feet, and between the legs of gentle
man who was crossing the street at the
time. The collision disturbed not only
the equilibrium but the temper of the
man, the keg knocking one leg from UNI
der him, and nearly breaking the other.
He skipped over the keg, however, seem
ingly in a professional manner. Recov-
ering his perpendicular line, but not his
temper, he rallied excitedly at the driver,
who apologetically stated thathe did not
see him, and had nointenton of injuring
him. The indignant man walked back to
the dray, as if to engage in fight with the
driver, wheG all at once a smile suffussd
his eountenance, and he exclaimed:
g By thunder, that's one of my own beer
kegs" He was portly brewer from st.
Louis, and had collided with his own
keg in the Bluff City. Our temperance
reporter who was near by, concluded
that it was not the first time that the
brewer had his legs tangled up by his
own beer, but, like Rip Van Wrinkle, he
need not count that time.
