A Brutal Assault on a Lady.
st. Charles Avenue Unsafe
at Night.

1t was but few weeks ago that we had
to chronicle an outrageous assault upon a
lady whilst quietly returning from church,
at the corner of Upper Line and ST. Charles
Avenue, in the Sixth District, and now we
learn of another similar in many respects
Sunday evening about O'clock, as a white
lady connected with the Asylum for Dest,-
tute Boys was passing the corner of Bor-
deaux street and St. Charles Avenue, she
was accosted by a negro man of giant pro-
portions, who dealt her terrible blow on
the forehead with heavy oak club.
The lady, terrified beyond measure, scream
ed for help, and in f"w moments large
number Of citizens residing in the neighbor-
hood, rushed out to discover the canse
Of the cutlery. The lady ran up the
street, towards Upper Line, where she was
met by a number of gentlemen, who con-
veyed her to the residence Of Mr.. Lock wood,
where she was kindly cared for The shock
was SO great that she was in q fainting con-
dition when she was carried in.
A few minutes after her screams were first
heard police whistle was blown, but the
officer never put in an appearance, but a
Waterman sent his son, a youth, to get
report of the case after the lady had left
Mr.. Lockwoods.
The ficnd answers the description of the
negro who committed like assault in the
same place before, and it is thought he eau
not live far from this neighbolhood.
Will the police protect ladies on this favor
lite promenade after nightfallf We hope
Gen. Badger will have thorough investiga-
ton of the case.

An Outrage on Private Prop
erty.

The society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals have, by the action of their
pound man, brought down deserved shower
Of anathemas on their head. The following
outrage, perpetrated upon hard working
and Industrious citizen, deserves to be
thoroughly investigated, for, ifthese negroes
are allowed to carry on their depredations,
no mans animal will be safe. We gather
the following from an eyewitness:
A dairyman, living near the corner of
Napoleon Avenue and Carondelet street, on
last Friday morning opened his stable doors
and was about proceeding to drive his cows
to pasture, when five negroes and four
white men, who had secreted themselves
around the corner, rushed forward at a pre-
concerted signal, and proceeded to drive the
animals off. A workman endeavored to pre-
vent them, but they knocked him down.
The milkman, thinking that the gang
were thieves, went to his room and came
out with navy revolver. The white men
of the party, eeing this, approached him
and took the pistol from him. The cows
were impounded and the man had to pay
some two dollars head to get them out.
Much as this society is entitled to for their
labors in the cause of mercy, if their agents
keep up this outrage on the rights of in
dividuals, the sooner the organization is
broken up the better.

A New City Government.
Runors Afoat.

The quid nuncs are busy with the rumOr
about Kellogg signing the City Charter
bill. They even 90 SO far as to give the
names Of the Administrators to be, and the
future Mayor. How much there is in all
this, no one outside the holy Of holes Of the
gubernatorial ring knows, but there is every
probability that Pitt will, as soon as the
Louisiana question is quoted in Congress,
have general cleaning at the City Hall.
OF course it makes no difference with
truthful William that the people elected
their men, for Of all reasons this is the worst
with him tor the retention Of any one in
Office, as he never enjoyed that distinction
We have heard the names Of Jno. A. Walsh,
for Administrator Of Water Works John
Burke, Administrator of Police, and for the
other positions so many names are mentioned
no one can possibly select the leading men
in the race.

ladies called on Mr.. Folger to pay their
taxes, amounting to sls1. They received
a receipt in full, but failed to pay but $50
of the amount due. As they persisted in
their course they were arrested. After
having been brought before the Recorder,
however, they consented to pay the bal
ance (S101) and were released.

OF the flags festooned over the wall;

And tallow on head-dresS and shawl;
OF the steps that we took to fiddle;

And how | once went down the middle
With the man that shot Sandy McGee;

And SWAN the North Fork, and all tt :,

Oh, why did papa strike pay gravel
In drilling on Poverty Flat
-night-here's the end of my paper;
Good night-if the longitude please
For maybe, while wasting my taper,
Your SUMS climbing over the trees.
But know, if You haven't got riches,
And are poor, dearest joe, and all that
That my hearts somewhere there in the ditch,
And you've struck ton Poverty Flat.
Life counts not hours by joys or pangs,
But Just by duties DONE"
