S'TEAAENGS.

This morning, says Thursdays Vir-
ginia Chronicle, between III and II
O'Clock, as Professor Howard, the
colored and corpnlent hair r~estorer,
was making his way up d street, going
before the wind at about a knot and a
half per hour, he heard a scream from
one Of the n~ewly-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 q woman
blazing with fury, and what was worse,
with Il 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 question 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
sor's fighting days, SO he showed AS
clean a pair OF heels as the state OF the
sidewalk would permit, changed his
course up Sutton avenue to Justice
knoX's Court, and there swore out a
warrant forth termagant, whose name,
as e~mblazoned OH her doorplate, is NJ.
b. West. Officer Jackson thsn went
down and arrested her.
The Elko independent of the 18th
says: ON time since, Hagan IL
Tevis, OF San Francisco, brought suit
by attachment, against DR.. Henderson,,
to recover soine 1000 head of cattle,
which the latter acquired by purchase,
the plaintiff claiming that the sale was
not bona tide. The attachment was
placed in the hands of Sheriff Brown,
who, with his usual diligence, imfnedi-
ately put a posse OF mel at work col
lecting the cattle, but now Messrs. Ha-
gan Il Tevis appeared to have changed
their minds. At any rate, this week
they informed Mr.. Brown that he need
proceed no further in the matter, and
could urn loose the stock gathered up.
No cause was assigned for so doing,
but this action conveys the very nat
ural impression that they had .'caught
a Tartar" and took this method of
dropping him.
Yesterday afternoon, says the Hum
boldt Register Of the 18th, about half
past one o'clock, General Harris went
into Robinson's bath house to take a
Humboldt bath. he entered the room
at a quarter to 2 O'Clock, and turned on
the water; and, not having taken Il bath
for several weeks, thought he would
soak a while. In this comfortable 20.
sition he fell asleep, and did notawaken
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 "A
boiled t~urkey!"
1t looks a little strange, says the Vir-
ginia Enterprise, to see ice peddled
about the town when the streets are all
fields of ice, when icicles from six to
ten feet long hang from the caves of the
houses, when the water pitchers are
frozen solid every morning, and when
any man may make his own ice in
quantities to suit by setting a tub of
water in his back yard, but to buy ice
year in and year out is one of the many
curious fashions Of this metropolis Of
Silverland.
