MA YoRS POLICE COURT.

George Mag was arrested at the in
stigation of Mrs. Miller, upon a charge
of assault and battery; but for want Of
sufficient evidence George was dis
charged.
Henry Stewart was the next to bow
before the bar of justice; bowling before
too many bars Of another kind is what
caused the swelling emotions to roll and
surge through his bosom, as he plead
guilty to the charge of assault and bat
terry. Henry lives in Massillon, and was
at the 0rrville fair last week. While
coming eastward on train No. 2, he
passed through the car, and seeing Jacob
Brumbaugh, an inOfiensive young man
seated in the car this lively bruiser de-
liberately and without provocation, pro-
ceeded to put sorry looking head on
Jacob. Officers Rigler and Williams ar.
rested him at Massillon next day. and
brought him to this city, where he was
fined $25 and costs, amounting to $50,
and sent to Jail until the amount should
be paid.
Henry l.. Sawyer and Charles Thomp-
son, a handsome pair of bottle-nosed
rascals, belonging to that profane and
dirty fraternity of human kind, known
to the heartless world as tramps, were
brought last week by the force of cir
cumstances and policeman to an inter
view with His Honor r. S. Shields,
whose initials stands for Royal Severity.
These ragged ruffians had acquired bad
habit which got them into an embarras-
sing predicament on this occasion. On
last Friday, with the air of two lords,
they approached the residence of G. Ault-
man and knocked at a door; a servant
! answered their summons and made in
quiry as to their wants, when one of
them spoke up: I've are more nor 'alf
starved, an We wants summin to heat,
yer know" Then he looked wild and
licked his jaws in way that seemed to
imply that a whole hog, two or three
turkeys, an oyster pie and bottle or
two of claret wouldn't be any more than
they would want. The servant entered
the house and soon returned with a
lunch that would have satisfied an epi-
cure, but they wouldn't have it-they
didn't want it that way, They wanted
the proprietor of the palatial establish
ment to usher them into the parlor and
have feast set out for them that would
astonish sultan; they wanted a recogni-
ton of their nobility, and wanted to
spread themselves out on the finest fur
niture in the house. and elevate their
tannery samples on agorgeously covered
centre-table, while they would talk to
the 'boss" about the Grant-HOnore
wedding, and third term prospects, and
smear sauces indiscriminately over the
furniture and carpet-no, not any; they
wasn't dogs to be fed in the back yard
and if they couldn't go in and eat in
style, they wouldn't touch mouthful o
the stuff, and they told the servant that
much, and more too. In short they grew
insulting, and finally left in passion
without having eaten mouthful. WOrC
was sent to the mayor, and officer Will
liams was sent after the men, who were
found and brought into court. Upon &
hearing, they were sentenced to ten days
in the Fifth avenue castle, on the thir
but wholesome diet of bread and water
These fellows make charity apretext fol
examining the convenience Of entrances
and exits in the houses where they are
permitted to enter. Keep them out.
