A BILLY GoAT's RAID ON A PAMER.-An
amusing case OF assault and battery took place
yesterday on the corner of 9Th street and Vir-
ginia avenue. Three respectable ladies' were
taking quiet walk, dressed IN gay cOlors and
while in the locality named were astonished by
the head and horns OF billy goat coming in
contact with the most prominent p0rtion-as
fashions go-of the outlines of one of the prom
enaders, making sad havoc of the fxings. The
ladies screamed at the top of their voices as the
irate quadruped persisted in chasing andtbut-
ting them right and left. A crowd soon as
sembled and among them officer John n. Ber-
ry, who, without the authority of a warrant,
took the dilemma by both horns, and thus re-
lieved the frightened ladies, who scampered of
nome 70 par t damages, Inc assaant was
where he butted the boards OFF his stall before
his wrath subsidized. This morning after a hear
ing before Lieut.. GessfOrd, he was turned over
to the tender mercies Of the pound men without
security.
