that Uncle Sans representatives would give
ten dollars to see him on ship-board once
more, he locked him up in the First Precinct

A CRUEL HUsBAND--So great was the ex-
element at the corner of Rampant and Poy-
dras streets, that Officer Blair was attracted
to the spot from his beat some squares off.
The trouble was caused by Charles jackson
taking IL upon himself to beat his better halt,
which he did in most cruel manner and
went to Jail, where the unfortunate woman

asss ult and battery on her person.
HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-About o'clock this

down by a man, who proved to be julius
White, and robbed of six dollars in currency.

ceeded in capturing the above named individ-
ual, who was locked up in the Central Station
on charge of robbery.
DIED FROM HIS INJURIEs.-Our readers will
no doubt, remember very sad accident
which occurred, about month ago, on the
Mobile Railroad, in which two men were
thrown intoa fire (Which they had themselves
built at the side OF the track by the locomo-
tive Of an express train. One Of the men was
killed outright from the burns he received,
and the other one was deemed at the time
to have been injured but slightly. The name
Of the man who is supposed to been hurt but
little was Lloyd Colley, who has since died.
He has been confined at the Charity Hospi-
tai ever since, and the cause of his death has
been attributed to that of accute diarrhea
It is curious fact that he should have died
from injuries which were deemed but very
slight indeed, but as the coroner will hold
post mortem examination on the body, we
hope the correct cause Of his death will be
established.
BADLY HUET.-Thomas Nichols, an en-
ploye upon the Natchez, while at work upon
her, was dangerously hurt in the foot bya bale
of cotton falling upon it. He was taken to
the Charity Hospital for treatment, and will
no doubt be all right in few days.
