moment of abstraction, assessed foe of
ten dollars against him, which sum was
paid with as much cheerfulness as one

conduct, and the court INDUCED in filming
him five dollars for thus doing.
William Ferguson, though quite young in
years, is old in sin. He is one OF those un-
fortunates who are born tired, ard there
fore he has constitutional aversion to hard
work. He has heard of men, before now,
who have seriously injured themselves by
over-exertion, and early In life made
a solemn vow to never run any
risk in that particular way, and he has, thus
far, observed that vow faithfully. But, al
though not remarkably industrious, William
is not without his characteristics, among
which may be noted his extreme and vio-
lent hatred for truth in the abstract, and
his strong and enthusiastic love for whisky
and kindred beverages. 1t is somewhat
singular, too, that Mr.. Ferguson should
have formed such violent and lifelong an
tipathy for truth, as he has not even
ssspeaking" acquaintance with it, and never
had. Our readers probably remember that
Ferguson was sent to the workhouse
about a month sgo, because of a
certain little enterprise of his, by
means of which he made a raise
of a considerable quantity of clothing, and
quite sum of money through representa-
tons to the eject that a dearly beloved
brother had Just died of the cholera, and he
was raising funds to secure decent fune-
raj for the dear departed. He was released
from the workhouse Monday, and was pick
ed up in drunken condition the night fol-
lowing. He was sent back to his old rem
devious yesterday, to work out fine Of ten
dollars.

dler was guilty of assault and battery, for

lars worth of disorderly conduct. he
would have settled the amount of said bill
promptly, but, for some reason his expected
remittances from home HAYS not arrived
yet. Notice is hereby given the express
agents in the city, that if a PACKAGE of
money addressed to "Mr. Anthony Mcclure,
NdouNAlO, iO0NACo OuOh AohNc, w
forward the same to the Hotel de Corbett,
at which establishment Mr., Mcclure tar
ries, awaiting its arrival.
Ditha Hunter pouneed upon a colored
sister and threshed her handsomely. The
fair minded and impartial reader will regret
to hear that for thus doing she was fined
ten dollars, for any one will admit that a
person saddled with the name of 'tDitha"
is excRsable for any little eccentricities of q
beligerent charac er she saw fit to indulge
iD. Miss Hunter was mulct to the tune of
S25.
James Harvey was drunk Monday night,
and by ten O'Clock Tuesday had so handled
his cards that he occupied quarters at the
workhouse, at which place he is advertise d
to remain during the rest of this week.

wild sticks" and she too now takes her
haa h at Capt. Corbett's quiet retreat, where
