NORTH LONDONDERRY.

A bit of unpleasantness took place here
on the evening of the 14th inst. 1t would
seem that Judge Arnold, the long time
merchant of the burgh, had recently had a
confab with the wife of one Benjamin
Sparrow, a harness maker in the place, and
had among other epithets averred that Mrs.
s was unchaste. On being called on by
the woman's husband and asked if he had
30 charged, the judge acknowledged that
the charge was substantially correct, and
was on the point of saying that the woman
retorted by saying that he was q drunkard,
or something to this effect, but before he
had completed the sentence, Sparrow, who
has great dexterity with his arms, planted
some two or three whacks in close proxm-
ity to the Judges eyes The result thus
far being that for the present the Judge
peppers are effectually draped in mourn
ing.
A military company numbering some
sixty men was formed here on Saturday

slowly recovering.
BY the way, the appointment of proba

Is our governor trying to do? Is he .
