TE.ALING

This morning, says Thursdays Vir-
ginia Chronicle, between Ii and II
O'Clock, as Professor Howard, the
colored and corpulens hair r~estorer,
was making his way up ID street, going
before the wind at about a knot and a
half per hour, he heard a scream from
II of the n~ewiy-erected houses on the
north side of Sutton avenue. Natur-
ally, he turned his head to see what
the matter was, when the door of the
house was thrown open, and a woman
blazing with fury, and what was worse,
with n s~ix-shoOter in her hands, came
for the Professor and demanded to
know what a man of his complexion
meant by looking in at her window.
She repeated the questioA several times
with profane variations; and threatened
with variations of the same character
to render the Professor eternally indie
pendent of hair restoratives by reinov
ing the area upon which the wool ought
to grow. 1t WIS not one of the Profess
SORTS fighting days, so he showed rs
clean a pair OF heels as the state Of the
sidewalk would permit, changed his
course up Sutton ven to Justice
KnoX's Court, and there swore out a
warrant for the termagant, whose name
as emblazoned OF her doorplate, is NJ.
b. West. officer Jackson then went
down aud arrested her.
The Elko Independent of the 18th
says: Some time since, Hagan q
Tevis, of San Francisco, brought suit
by attachment, against DR.. Henderson
to recover some 1000 head of cattle,
which the latter acquired by purchase,
the plaintiff claiming hat the sale was
not bona tide. The attachment was
placed in the hands OF Sheriff Brown,
who. with his usual diligence, immedi-
ately put a posse OF men at work col
Letting the cattle, but 10Y Messrs. Ha-
gan Il Tevis appeared to have changed
their minds. At any rate, this week
they informed AIR. Brown that he need
proceed no further i'm the matter, and
could turn loose the stock gathered up.
No cause WAS assigned tor so doing,
but this action conveys the very nat
ural impression that they had 'caught
a Tartar" and took this method oil
dropping him.
Yesterday afternoon, says the Hum
boldt Register of the 18th, about half.
past II O'Clock, General Harris went
into Rohinson's bath house to take
Humboldt bath. lie entered the room
at a quarter to 2 O'Clock, and turned on
the water; and, not having taken a bath
for several weeks, thought he woufc
soak a while. In this comfortable DO
sition he fell asleep, and did notawaker
until 4 O'clock, when he found himself
encased in ice, the water in the bath,
tub having frozen while he was asleep
The General shouted for help, and the
boy in waiting rushed into the room,
and by the aid OF a Ratchet brought the
General out all right, when he re.
marked: by Cd, sir, l feel like q
boiled turkey!"
1t looks a little strange, says the Vir,
ginia Enterprise, to see ice peddleC
about the town when the streets are al
fields of ice, when icicles from six tc
ton feet long hang from the caves of the
houses, when tho water pitchers are
frozen solid every morning, and wher
any man may make his own ice in
quantities to suit by setting a tub O
water in his back yard. but TO buy ice
year in and year out is one of the man,
curious fashions Of this metropolis o
Silveriand.
