dispose OF Gladney before the first of
October. Justus is in the harness and
won't get out of them until the last day
In the evening. Lt ts
Justus Cunningham, Esq, must rise
up and explain. "Many citizens deny
that there was any row at the Unity
meeting last week and they say, not
being fearful OF the wrath Of Justus,
that negro did not hit him with any
thing. and that ne did not. as he says he
did, smear tumb!er over head, fol-
low it up with pitcher, and conclude
the performance by wrecking the table
In his efforts at defense. We side with
Justus. He has scar on his face,
which is strong evidence, we take 1t, that
somebody hit him with tumbler, and
while he spoke to us of the outrage
indignant tears filed his eyes. We are
sure he was the victim Of an assault. He
must have been, else why this pleasing
hope, this longing after immortality.

l.. W. Williams is gentleman of color
who recently took unto himself gay
young wife. whom he gave home near
the sipe water, margined by cookie burrs
and gagging thistles, near the corner
OF Fifteenth and Walnut streets. In.
til Monday night no ripple has disturb
ed the calm OF l.. W. and his wite's mat
rimonial sea. But there came a change.
l.. w. for some reason that we could not
learn, got miffed at his wife, and as is the
custom with his people, attempted to
vent his rage by knocking her down.
No sooner, however, had he laid violent
hands upon her whom he had promised
to love and protect, than third party
by the name Of Pink" appeared on the
scene, aud gave orders for the rumpus to
cease at once, or he'd take hand
himself. This served to in
crease the rage in l.. WIS
heaving breast, and he Immediately made
for Pink, who quickly retreated only to re-
turn with horse-pistol with which he
intended to put out l.. WIS light. 1t
was now l.. WIS time to run, but he too
quickly come back armed with an axe.
Pink was stationed at one corner of l..
WIS house, afraid to move for fear that
lie would miss l.. W. with the horse
pistol, and then l.. w. would make
mince meat Of him with his axe, while
l.. w. was at the other corner, con-
WINGED that il he came out, Pink would
let daylight through him with his bat
terry before he could get a lick at him
with his axe. This is the way the matter
stood when one of our clergymen passed
by, who observing the situation, quelled
the riot by means possessed only by a
minister, and again peace and quiet
