A desperate hand to hand fight occurred
at 4th and Lombard streets, yesterday after
noon about 8 o'clock, between Patrick
Young and James Houghton. Both were
under the influence Of liquor. The affair
grew out of the interference Of Hough-
ton with Young, who was slapping drunk,
en- man in the face Houghton was knocked
down by blow in the face, after which
Young kicked him in the eye making CON
siderable cash, and afterwards wheu Hough-
ton attempted to arise he was struck by
Young in the throat and fell helpless to the
sidewalk Bystanders interfered and pre-
vented further abuse, until policemen ar
rived and arrested both offenders. Hough-
toms injuries were of such character that
he had to be brought to the station in

MORE SCHOOL TROUBLE.
A BLAST At No. 5.

EDITOR OF HERALD would ask space
in YOUR most valuable paper for few re-
marks concerning the public school system
of this city.
NV son entered No. 5 School on last Sep
tember as pupil, and has been strict in at
tendance, and always punctual until few
days since,, when he went to the School in
question, and found that he was ten minutes
late; on that account he was denied admis-
sion by the teacher, and though it was pour
ing down rain at the time, he was told to go
home, and return in the afternoon. He
trudged home through the rain, got wet to
the skin, caugh a severe cold, which pre-
vented his going back to school that day
but the next morning he went, and upon his
arrival was informed that his seat was
occupied by another. l cannot understand
why this should be so, as he particularly ex-
planned to his teacher the cause of his alb
sence. He is now denied the opportunity OF
attending school, because he was sick one
half day.
If ysu, Mr.. Editor, or any member of the
School Board, can answer why such is the
case, you will confer favor on,

A Wonderful Escape.

The schooner War Eagle Capt. Hatton,
engaged in dredging for oysters, made har-
Dor in the carly part of the night Of Tuesday
last, under Kent Island, and during the
latter part of the night heavy gale of
wind from the Northwest set in, and con-
tinued to blow with such fury, that the
vessel commenced dragging her anchors,
and the Captain trying to save his vessel,
made short sail, but it was soon blown
away. The vessel became unmanagcablc
and soon she was found to be in q sinking
condition. All efforts to save her were
fruitless and she sank in about 30 feet Of
water. The crew consisting of eight men,
crowded into a small boat Of IA feet ir
length and made their escape to "Sedgcy
Marsh,"--a point of land on the Tilgh-
mans Point farm, few miles below st..
Michaels, and thence found their way to St..
Michaels where they were kindly cared for
by the citizens of the town. How such a
number of men could save themselves
from watery grave, in such an extremely
small boat (taking into consideration the
excessive high wind and the very rough
surface of the water,) is truly miracle
The vessel was nearly loaded with oysters.
The crew saved a portion of their clothing.
