On the river front, between Capt.
Polls and Mr.. Royals residences, last
Wednesday, a lively recontre occurred
between,two dark damsels by the names

in all directions, the pugilistically in
clined females drew off, Susan appar-
emily getting the best of the set-to.
During the past week the weather
in this locality has been quite varied.

cold enough to suit the Russian bear;
then Monday and Tuesday there was a
quantity Of aquaous fluid to
suit the most devout temperance advo-
cate; Wednesday mild enough for most
any consumptive, and on Thursday just
bracing enough for the active and stir
ring mai of business.
In order TO enable the hands who
have been thrown oat of employment
BY the temporary suspension OF the
business here to make q living
Mr.. NJ. A. Dees offers to give 200 msn
work at chopping railroad wood. We
think this very commendsble in that
gentleman, and those who wish to take
advantage of the offer can have the op-
portunity of doing so by calling on him
mr. snv of his agents. Read bis ad.
