The Danes who recently immiersted
into Newbcrry County, having become
dissatisfied, passed through this city
Tuesday, en- route for Chicngo. They
found the country not suited to their
tastes or occupation, it being impossible
to raise clover there for dairy purposes;
hence, they have started for the West.

"A typo in this city had combat OF
words with the temperance lecturer, re.
ligious lecturer. phrenologist, and, as
some OF the city papers have stated, ex-
priest. yelept Prof. Devalin, at the Cen
trail Hotel, few days ago, in which ex-
pressions neither delicate nor polite, but
rather emphatic and indecent, were free.
ly banded. The typo unlimbered his
pocket artillery and prepared for action,
but his piece was not discharged. The
Professor declined the role Of AIodoc,
and assumed that of Peace Commis-
eioner, aud called in the assistance OF Of.
fcers to enforce the peace clause of the
treaty. The charge of "assault with in
tent to kill" was placed in the hands OF
the officer for service on Tuesday, and,
accompanied by tie Professor, they
sought their man at his place Of business,
but found him not, and many who had
been attracted to the spot to witness the
capture ''stole silently away" disap-
pointed. May the Professor meet with
better success in his next field OF labor,
both in the matter OF audiences and pro-
fits, and the community and peace Of
ficers have less of the aforementioned
profession of devi:in'.
