THE CONDUCTORS PUNCH.

| In our edition of Thursday morning WI
published very interesting letter from our
valued correspondent Skimmerhorn, ir
which mention was made of peculiar bel
punch used by the conductors on the street
cars in Chicago. Our correspondent was in
formed that the invention of the punch is due
to poor Car driver, who sold his valuable
invention for almost nothing. We have since
learned that the credit of the invention is
claimed by citizen of New Orleans, who
has surely strong proofs in support of his
claims.
In private letter on the subject he says:
"a model was made in New Orleans without
the bell attachment. but the machine was
made for the pocket or to be fastened like q
watch to the person, or hung as a clock &C.
cording to size and uses; q
model was made and contract proposed by q
Connecticut manufacturer but was not con-
cluded, owing to hostilities thereafter between
the North and South" We have every reason
to credit the above statement, not only from
the well known reliability of our informant,
but from the fact that he has now in his pos
session the patent papers issued for the in
vention.

TERRIBLE PITCHED BATTLE.
Heads Broken and Ears Bitter Off.

About 5 o'clock Thursday evening quite 9
lively fight took place at the corner of CALI
ope and Rampant streets, between a negro
woman named Virginia Anderson and the
family OF Mrs. Eisenmaker. The quarrel that
inaugurated the row could not be ascertained,
but the facts of the fight as learned by Bull
LETIN reporter run as follows:
About the hour above mentioned, Virginia
Anderson appeared at the residence of Mrs.
Eisenmaker, and began to create a disturb
ance with the whole family. The natural
pitched battle. Virginia was bent apon mis-
chief and vent to work in earnest. First at
| lacking Mrs. Eisenmaker, she bit portion of
that lady's ear of, when her attention was
turned to Mr.. Louis Degle, the step son of
Mrs. Eisenmaker. The young man was bit
ten severely in the cheek by the tigress.
Mr.. Eisenmaker, the lege lord of the madam,
received a severe wound in the head, inflicted
with Ratchet in the hands of the woman
Virginia.
The difficulty had not long subsidized when
an inturiated and promiscuous crowd of some
five hundred collected about the scene of &C.

Virginia to a lamp post, were about to place

for the purpose of collecting some money due
me for services rendered. When I got into
the house the whole family began thro wing
bricks at me. l then ran into the street for
protection, when they followed me up aud
continued their bombardment of brickbats,
one of which struck me in the head. I then
picked up Ratchet and wounded two or
three of them and bit the madam's ear off "
Her appearance was anything but Erepos-
sessing, and her clothing was saturated in
blood, which lent no enchantment to the
view.
Mrs. Eisenmaker was suffering SO much
from her injuries that she was unable to make
statement. DR.. Hunt attended her and
dressed her wounds.

objective point, oysters; and the battle field.
Jules Zatarain's recently opened "Oyster
Bay" on Royal street. Capt. Sam "felt
good" and invited "the boys" to patronize
Jules's bivalves, but when he did so he GER
tainly had no conception of the number OF
oysters which can be slowed away under the
waistcoat of some of his invited friends. We
had just taken dinner when the fight began,
and could, therefore, survey the battle field

entitled to the belt as the champion oyster

Like skillful strategist, Capt. Barnes took
advantage of slight pause in the oyster

to the central oyster depot for further sup

THE ROCKFORD EXCITEMENT.
THE CENTENNIAL SPIRIT ABROAD.

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Aug. 13.-About every
other topic of discussion has been abandoned
in Rockford since Monday, for the one topic
of Jefferson Davis, President of the late So
called G. S. A. Mr.. Davis was invited by
Mr.. II. P. Kimball, Secretary of the Winnie
bago County Agricultural Society, to deliver
the annual address during the fair, which
occurs September 14-l7. Monday last,
Mr.. Kimball received letter from Mr.. Davis
in reply, thanking him for the honor, and
| accepting the invitation. and referring in q
flatteriug manner to this portion of Illinois
The announcement that Mr. Davis was to
come raised quite storm, and quite a
number of citizens have expressed themselves
in reference to it, in terms neither flattering
nor complimentary to Mr. Davis, Mr.. Kim
ball, the secretary, and the society ITSELF
The G. A. r. have gotten up protest
against Mr.. Davis coming, which is signed
by large number of its members, and also
by several citizens. Prominent among the
leaders in this opposition to the coming Of
Mr.. Davis is the Rev. Benjamin Foltz, Rev.
Mead Holmes, the latter of whom has given
expression to much righteous indignation"
and the postmaster of this city, who is terri
bly, outspoken in his indignation.
Not having the military record of any of
these gentlemen at hand, l am unable to state
how long they were in the service helping to
put jeff down. For the time being. even the
Beecher scandal and the water-works injunc-
ton are forgotten. and everybody is discuss
ing pro and con. the coming of JEFF Davis.
Public opinion is about evenly divided on
the propriety of his coming; one class insists
it is an outrage and an insult on the loyal
citizens of Winnebago county to have in
vited him, while the others as vigorously de-
clare it an insult to protest against his coming
in the manner it has been done, and that
Winnebago county, having been a true and
loyal county during the war. and overwhelm-
ingly Republican, cannot afford to stultify its
former good record by denying to any man who
may be invited by society of its citizens to
come within its border the right to be heard,
especially when he does not come upon
political but purely social mission. And so
they have it, "hammer and tongs," Davis
and anti Davis, and Kimbsil and anti-Kim
ball for extending the invitation. What the up
shot Of the matter will be "no man can tell. :"
There is one thing sure, however, Rockford
and Winnebago county and its agricultural
society are just now getting about the largest
amount of free advertising through the public
prints all over the country that any city or So
ciety has ever had Chicago Times.
