AN AMUSING INCIDENT.-In the classic
portion of our money-hunting town is
one Of those delightful retreats where
beautiful flowers such as would captivate
floral queen abound in the utmost pro-
fusion. Among other specimens of the
floral kingdom was huge cactus about
IL inches Or thereabouts in diameter.
few mornings since vender of
garden sass" whose constitution and
bylaws accord fully with the Book of
Mormon, sought to dispose of some of
his farms products. Having made q
sale. SlO-dollar piece was rendered in
payment, but not having change for that
amount, he was requested to wait q few
minutes. Being quite fatigued he
looked around for something which
could be substituted for chair. Seeing
the cactus bush he mistook it for nail
key, and down he sat. But like the boy
who picked up piece of hot iron in
blacksmith shop, nobody had to tell him
that he had made sad mistake. We
advise that Mormon to read some work
on the cultivation of flowers, and in
future to look out for nail kegs.
COUNTY JAIL. - The commitment of
Martin Buckley yesterday filled up the
last corner in the County Jail There
have been seventeen inmates for many
weeks, and discharge day before yester-
day left vacancy which was filled by
the commitment of Buckley for IS days.
Such as have been incarcerated for any
length of time take their imprisonment
quite philosophically. 1t is found nee
essary to iron but one of the number,
and that only during the night time.
The board of SO great u number of priso-
ners amounts to round sum monthly,
and taxpayers will be glad when the
Grand Jury shall be empaneled to dis
pose of the number who are charged
with felony, The prisoners are in good
health, and under proper discipline.
ASSAULT ON A WoMAN.--Night before
last tremendous rumpus was heard on
Meadow Valley street, and gentleman
residing on that thoroughfare went to

Martin Buckley hammering woman to
his hearts content. Officer Mckee came
along and arrested the offender. Yester-
day morning Buckley was arraigned be-
fore Justice Stoutenburgh, and at first
demanded jury trial; but he thought
better of the matter, and so pleaded
guilty. Justice Stoutenburgh fined him
500 and costs, amounting to $56 addi-
tional. In default of payment Buckley
was committed to the County Jail, where
he will be credited with two dollars per
day until the fine and costs are cancelled
in this manner.
The THEATER was we'll filled as usual
last evening to witness the representa-
ton of "All's not gold that glitters. "
Carrie Carter played Martha Gibbs with
much feeling IND delicacy, while as
Gertrude in the afterpiece she..acted the
simple country girl to the life. Mrs.

chester cotton spinner, Dudley as the
polished william, Bird as the Yorkshire
conjurer and Mcguire as the well.mean-
