A boy was last evening run over by a

Saturday night Henry johnson and John
Grayson met in battle array at the corner
of Julia and Franklin streets, and there
fell together, and johnson was badly
worsted. Grsyson cut his opponents right
shoulder, and on seeing the gore flow
thought he had killed his man. go suddenly
departed.
Wilson Johnson thought to elect himself
a grain granger without knowing much
about agriculture, therefore jumped into
nile of oat sacks on the levee, head of
T,afayette street, and began to help him
self, as if he were a real mule. Officer
Morris discovered this fact and went for
the rascal, bu. the fellow showed fight and
was about to escape, when the officer sent
three leaden kilograms after him with such
accurate speed that johnson was willing to
stand and deliver himself. His wounds
we're trifing, but sufficient to REMIND him
that he is not yet old enough to eat oats.
