before Justice B. Hammer by officer
Wilcox, on Wednesday evening, upon
warrant sworn ont by John Pracht
who complained that Albright on
Tuesday morning 10 the Fifth ward mar.
ket did assault the wife Of John Pracht
and claimed her pocket book to be his.
Mrs. Pracht was 50 frightened by this
assault that she was unable to speak for
about two hours. At the commence
ment ofthe trial the mystery explained
itself to the honor and satisfaction of
both parties. Albright had lost bis
pocket book at a market stall where he
aud Mrs. Pracht had bought come ar.
ticles at the same time. As soon as he
missed his pocket book he went in
search Of It and seen pocket book just
like his in the hand Of Mrs. Pracht,
whereupon he made the assault, but
on examination he discovered his mis-
take, and the complaint was withdrawn
under the condition that the trnth Of
the case be published in honor to both

p.s4,trsrAt Dus4.-There is q good

PssfIfrkfAl Dusf. There ID q good
deal Of anxiety just now on the part Of
our citizens and considerable outcry on
the part Of the press in regard to the
streets and alleys Of this city. At this
season Of the year there is usually good
ground OF complaint, at the naked, loud
smelling fact, patent to every eye and
nostril, that the streets and alleys are
filthy. During the past week or two
matters have been very considerably
improved and it is now possible for q
person to walk some Of the streets and
alleys, at least, without being knocked
down by a huge stencil or being poisoned
by q pestilential atmosphere. But still
there is great flourish Of trumpsts. Of
clappipg Of tom-toms and q big fuss
generally over our streets. lanes, alleys
back yards, &C., and, no doubt, some
thing has been done towards putting
things in the right shape. While all
this is being done or attempted. not
a word has been said about the mass Of
pulyerized limestone that In the hot
summer weather very often begrims
and stiles the city. One OF the most
gifted and skilliul physicians that adorn
the medical profession in this city has
expressed the opinion that this powder
ed stone seriously and radically Injuries
the lungs, and is the real cause of the
many cases OF consumption In
this city and other cities situated
like it. Consumption seems to be
our standing epidemic-our staple, set
tied disease. Why is this? Is there
anything in our climate, our manner Of
living, or our habits that can fairly &C
count for this2 We are not skilled in
the subjects OF the complaints OF the
climate; but our morality lists tell a
sad tale indeed. Why is this2 Why
90 many diseases OF the lungs2 1t is
not this very dust and coal dirt that fills
the lungs and eventually destroys them ?
This is the medical opinion o! many
able physicians amongst US. Let the
city council then order the dust to be
kept damp by system Of systematic
sprinkling, to be ordered and paid for
by the city as sanitary measure. This
is our notion, and has been for years.

A Commemorative publish with
pleasure the following note from Prof
Boyd. We made our statement in re-
gard to Prot. Boyd's knowledge, on
what we believed to be the highest au-
thority. Our informant was mistaken,
it appears. The facts will all appear at
the hearing.
AFTER school ended he stated to Prof.
Boyd that he would remain short
time after the children had departed as
he wished to give the thinner girl a
lesson. He took her into a recitation
rsom and after they had been there
what seemed.to Prof Boyd an extremely
long time the Professor went into the
room and discovered the Rev. Lampe
taking most improper liberties with the
girl"
This paragraph has no foundation,
nor any part oft, so far as refers to my
knowledge. l knew nothing about the
affair nor had + heard any report Of il
