ExcitemeRt.-On Saturday last our

"cxerciaed in mind" for an hour or two,
over fighting, knocking cutting and
shooting scrape between Mr.. r. B.
Coleman and Charles Green.
Green Was seriously hut We learn not
dangerously cut. Coleman, escorted by
large and excited crowd was conducted
to Justice Browning'a office. The
excitement around this ofhs. was in :
,ense, aud resulted in sevaral minor
cutting and knocking scrapes.
Coleman was committed to Jail, and
thus the excitement allayed. Subse.
quontly Coleman WAS released upon his
giving bond to appear at the May term
Of Court of Sessions.
We have not invcstig gated the immcd

fray and ccnsure no one But W do
aay that these things are getting too
frequent with ny. There is too great u
fondnoss for cutting &c. ; aud there are
somc who are too willing to iuci,c dis
turtances and foment excitement.
Above all, there is zoo much liquor
drank.

sidering the multitude of diseases, it
is amazing that we live; in view of the
countless remedies for them, it is Won
derful that we die. Unfortunately,
however, all the diseases are realities,
whereas most of the remedies are hum
bugs. One exception to the latter rule
demands the recognition and approval
of the press. We refer to DIR. JOSEPH
WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs OF the
doctor himself, we know nothing but
of his medicine we can speak from OBJ
servation, for it seems to have found its
way into almost every household.
Probably it is more extensively used in
this country, as family remedy, than
any other preparation, although it has
not yet been before the world three
years. Wherever we 60 we hear of it.
and whenever we hear of it the COM
ments on its efficacy are enthusiastic.
We have questioned sufferers from liver
complaint, remittent fever, fever and
ague, chronic headache, vertigo, irregu-
larities of the bowels, indigestion, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, govt, kidney dis
eases, and affections of the lungs, as to
its effects, and the uniform answer has
been, "N is doipg me good." Believing
that what everybody says must be true,
we have no hesitation in admitting that

An English Picture.

Some striking revelations, which. I'm.
happily, compare favorably with the
condition of some New York tenement
houses IN the Fourth Ward. reach us
from country village in Dorsetshire.
England. A laborer of that place was
summoned for nuisance, owing to the
filthy condition and obscene habits of
himself and family. The cottage which
he occupied consisted of two small
rooms, each about nine feet square
Both had no fre-places, and but one
small window; in the lower room the
sole furniture was n small table, in the
upper an indescribably filthy blanket
and ehaff mattress, which was shared by
the defendant and his grown-up son
and daughter. IT may be conjectured
what was the morality of people living
under such conditions, and few oues-
tions from the testimony will sufficient
ly illustrate the ignorance of the girl

Canned Peas,

The american Grocer remarks tina
the process OF canning peas does no
destroy their flavor in the least. II
however, takes from them their prett,
green color, and they become grayisl
pale green, which, TO some, appears OBJ
jectionable; and to obviate that the
manufacturers have resorted to n process
of artificially greening them, which,
however it may improve their appear
ance, is decidedly most pernicious
practice, for not only does it take from
them their delicious flavor, but makes
them exceedingly injurious to those
who partake Of them. TO such an ex-
tent has this practice been carried on,
and so notable have been its pcrnicious
effects, that the French Government
have passed very stringent laws prohib-
iting the sale Of such vegetables, arti-
ticially greened, in that country. The
goods are, however, still put up to n
very great extent and sent to this colln-
try, and people, in most cases, believe
them to be the finest goods, because
they bring the highest price and have
the finest color. There is one test,
however, by which they can quickly de-
eide between the peas of natural color
and those artificially greened, and that
is, to taste them. They will find the
yreencd ones favorloss.

Nor HIS CHoIcE.-At n settlement il
Minnesota, one day the workmen n
Johnson's flouring-mill were marking {
lot of flour Of superior quality, and
known rs Johnson's Choice The
stencil and ink-pot were left outside o
short time, long enough, however, for q
very friendly squaw to use them IN
marking her blanket all over, as slD
had seen the men mark the -four barrels,
She then paraded the streets, much to
the rage of Johnson, II well-known
citizen, who could not take quietly the
jokes that followed, at his expense,
when he heard of the occurrence. Not
withstanding the announcement of the
stencil, he vehemently declared that
she was not his choice, and never
would be.
