JUsT1cE's CoURT.-James Dorsen, ar
rested night before last by officers Gray
and Woodruff, for disturbing the peace,
appeared before his Honor yesterday,
plead guilty, and was fined five dollars
and costs. In default of payment, COM
mitted for nineteen days. Richard
Rule, arrested by the same officers, at
the same time, and for the same offense,
was fined in the same amount; and, pay
ing his fine like man, stalxed ont of
the courtroom with sort of self-satisfied
air, as if he had paid his money for his
choice, and it was nobody's business
but his own. Nicholas Rohn, also
arrested for disturbing the peace, by Off
Ger Woodruff, appeared yesterday, plead
guilty, and will board at the expense of
the county for nineteen days. George
Shay, finding this thing of kicking up
rumpus on general principles SO very
fashionable, thought hs would try his
hand, too, and he made success OF it.
Officer Mckee arrested him. He plead
. not guilty. and this morning he will
have n hearing John Doe, alias
Shorty also took hand in the fun,
plead gully to disturbing the peace, and
paid his fine with the dignity of Kaiser
William receiving the sword of Louis
Napoleon. He was arrested by officer
Woodruff Robert Curlen plead not
guilty to disturbing the peace, had jury
trial, and was acquitted.
OFFICER McKEE's CARD. Officer Nc
kee's card, in another column, carries
with it its own explanation. On the
fearlessness and faithfnlness of our ar
resting officers mainly depend the good
order and safety of society, and their
official conduct should not be loosely
called in question. We are satisfied all
our local officers are zealously trying to
perform their whole duty; the only cause
Of complaint we have been able to see,
IN our shoit and limited acquaintance
with municipal affairs, is want of unison
and harmony among themselves.
FELL THROUGH AN AWNING Yestcr-
day afternoon r. X. Handy fell through
the awning of restaurant on Main
street, being severely, though not seri-
ously, hurt. A football had been
kicked on the awning, which. being COW
cred with snow, Mr.. Handy thought
was substantially rooted with boards or
shingles; but it was covered with half
rotten canvas, instead--a fact which he
painfully comprehended about second
after stepping onto it from an adjoining
awning.
IHE hurdy-gurdy houses are crowded
to sutfocation these nights, dancing con-
tlnuing usually far on toward morning.
A passing stranger would suppose to see
such jam of male humanity to get a
Shmpse at half dozen dancing girls,
tnat women were as scarce and inacces-
siole here as they are plentiful and ac-
commodating around some of the Bish-
oopricks of Utah. We are indebted to
Smith for this item.
OFFICERS Mckee and Woodruff desire
1t to be distinctly understood that the
place where the bowie-knife was drawn,
night before last, is not included in the
stations of their respective BEATS The
place is now, however, within their beats,
and We are promised police item for
every future occurrence of the kind that
taxes place, if it occurs under the obser.
vatlon of either; and we believe the
promise will be redeemed.
SUDDEN AND AGREEABLE CHANaE.-The
stormy weather seems to have passed
away. Yesterday morning old Sol came
up as brightly and cheerfully as if his
path had never been crossed by cloud,
and the day passed with clear skies and
genial temperature; but the melting
SHOWS made walking rather disagreeable,
m some places difficult, the crossings
'e'ng sloppy and muddy. ttg
