THE CITY.

attention was attracted by boy, the son Of a
butcher in Dryades Market, attempting to
insult an old lady by pulling at her clothes
and exposing her person. Naturally his in
dignation was excited and he caught hold OF
the boy to put stop to the outrage, when the
father Of the boy interfered, but the gentleman
plainly informed him that such conduct was
too shocking to be passed by, and he refused
to allow the boy to keep up his conduct
After considerable discussion, the gentleman
compelled the boy to leave. These things
should be stopped

[From Yesterdays Evening Edtion]
FOUND DROWNED o'clock on the
I afternoon Of the 23d inst, Officer Moore, OF
the Jefferson police force, while making his
rounds near Covington plantation, left bank,
discovered something flo ting in the waters OF
the Mississippi River. Immediately procuring
a skiff, he with other assistance, rowed quickly
towards the inanimate object On approach
ing within ten feet of his goal he was startled
by recognizing the dead body Of beautiful
young girl, not more than 1G years Of age.
She Lay as though in deep, sweet sleep,
and her beautiful features did not betray any
clue to what cannot be otherwise than some
dark, though apparently bloodless mystery.
Raising the young, ifess creature tenderly IN
their arms, she was deposited i'll the boat and
taken quickly ashore. 1t was useless to at
tempt to restore her back to life, for it was
plain to be seen that her brief but sad career
upon this earth had ended forever
When taken from the water she wore black
delaine Dress set off with white spots, while
black silk underskirt completed that por-
ton Of her garments
Her head was bare and her beautiful au-
burn treases, which luxuriated around her
comely head, were neatly plated in two long
plaits, their beauty somewhat dimmed by the
water with which they were completely sat
urated Her feet were covered with CATERS
while her underclothing readily betrayed the
fact that her lot in this life had been cast
amongst the best in the land. A cameo
breast-pin clasped the folds of her dress at the
neck, while on her third finger Of the left
hand heavy plain gold ring completed a
description of the jewelry found about her
person
This morning, coroner Gaudet held an IN
quest and rendered verdict in accordance
with the above facts. AS their were no initials
about any portion of her clothing, we fear that
the name of the poor unfortunate young lady
will ever remain a secret, and the previous
history attached to SO sad an ending must in
consequence be shielded from the criticisms
Of this cold, unsympathising world.
A MAD DOG MAKES THINGS LIvELY.-On
Thursday s'purp," frantic with hydrophobia,
invaded the Recorders Office at Carrollton,
and made things in general rather lively for a
ko no fort md
rion of Messrs Pascoe and Pellerin, who were
in the room at the time of the visit. They
any other place in the world was preferable to
the one in which they were, and longed for a
desk mile high, to the top Of which they
might climb.
After Jumping from one Of the windows to
the ground below, a distance Of something
like 80 feet, he ran around the yard, and then
again came back into the Office. From thence
he proceeded to the tax-collector's office,
which was Immediately vacated for his bene-
fit. He was, however, finally besieged and
killed with shovel
The EARIY-GARvEY MURDER CAsE.-This
case was again called in the Superior Criminal
Court this morning, but owing to the absence
from the city of Capt. Edgworth, the princi-
pal witness for the prosecution, it was con-
tinued until the 21st of October.
This, it will be remembered, is the third
trial which these murderers are to have After
being convicted twice of murder in the first
degree, they obtained new trials. No'o
the case is again postponed. We are AFRAID
that when the prosecution are prepared to
finally dispose of this case that all the princi-
pal witnesses will be dead. Further COM
ment is unnecessary.
