MODEL WATCHMAN.

About halfpast eleven o'clock Saturday night
the quiet halls Of the Treasury building were
made the scene Of quite commotion, caused by
the obstreperous conduct OF one of the watchmen
at the building. John UBrien, Of the force of
Treasury watchmen, was little under the infiu.
ence of liquor, and when he saw the women en-
ployed at the building in cleaning, he could not
refrain from using insulting language, and be-
having in o manner unbecoming watchman and
o gentleman. The lieutenant Of the watch, Theo-
core Gregg, demonstrated with O'Brien and en-
O'Brien replied insultingly, and upon further re-
monstrance, O'Brien struck a murderous blow at
Mr.. Gregg with q heavily losded cane. FOrtu-
nately, the latter was wearing at the time q
beaver hat, upon which the blow fell and which
in a measure broke the force Of the descending
cane. The stick cut through the hat and was
broken upon Gregg's head, infiicting q severe
confusion. An alarm was given, and Officer
LoDgstreet responded, and arrested " Brien, who
was locked up in the Central guard-house, and
afterwards released en- bail.
