4 Manchester was as dull yesterday as any
place areporter ever tackled. Everybody
seemed on q big fit OF laziness, and even the
darkies lacked their usual animation while
attacking their rations OF g swaterniliion.'
The dogs5were the only portion Of the pop;
uIation which seemed TO be lively. This
may be attributed to the fact that g Dinks,'
was after them and tLeir owners with .
sharp stick. Four Of the last mentioned
were before the Mayor yesterday morning
for not having obtained proper canine IL
censes. Two were fined FIVE dollars each,
and the other two were discharged.

LEAP FOR LIBERTY Yesterday morning
eolored man named Henry Houston was
arraigned before the Police Court on the
charge OF assaulting and biting OF the ear
and finger OF Sterling Booker. Sterling not
being present when the case was called; ne
was set back in the prisoners box, which Is
surrounded by fence seven feet hlgh VIII
nails in the top. During the examination OF
one OF the cases Houston put his foot upon
the lock and made a leap which would have
caused the champion jumper OF Barnum,s
circus to blush, and cleared the fence. he
evidently had made arrangements with the
crowd OF negroes who were in attendance TO
help him out, for when he made the Jump Q
lane, as it were, was opened In the crowd
and then they closed in behind him.
Mr. D. G. Richardson was the first to see
him, and gave the alarm. Three or four ON.
GERS and Deputy-Sergeant Harmon started
in pursuit, but were unable to catch up with
him. 1t is thought he had been harbored
BY some of the many negro families living
in the neighborhood. Yesterday morning
Policeman Fox, in taking him to the lower
station, was suspicious OF him and put NIP
pers on him. All 81 the station houses have
been notified, and no doubt he will be re.
captured before long. His hunting ground
has been for some time in the alley In rear
Of the Exchange Hotel stables.
