A Fowl Story.

Mr.. McClsry, of the North Side, was
the proud owner of q full-bred Spanish
rooster, magnificent bird, which rosmed
around from yard to yard and whipped
everything he came in contact with.
Mrs. Dunlap, neighbor of the above
named gentleman, also kept game birds,
but which had on divers occasions come
out second best IN contests with Nc
Clsry's bird; which, by the way, had
been dubbed the "boss" of the neIghbor-
hood Mrs. Dunlap, not liking the idea
of one rooster being allowed to take care
of all the hens in the vicinity, went
to market, purchased game bird, the
countryman having recommended him,
and brought him home. 1t wasn't long
until the 'boss' and the new bird came
together, in which contest the "boss"
lost his life This aggravated McClsry
to such an extent that he deliberately
slew the winning rooster; whereupon
the owner brought suit before Squire
Phillips for damages, the amount
claimed being Sl.05, the cost Of the bird.
After hearing the evidence, the Squire
decided to divide the costs OF the case
between the lItigants.

John Healy, ESQ.

For several days past, rumors have
been freely circulated in this city affect
ing the financial standing of our jolly
old friend John Hesly. Esq, OF Benwood
From a conversation with son of Mr.
Healy yesterday, we learn that one OF
that gentlemsn's creditors, learning that
he was absent from the city, pretended to
take alarm and rushed IN and took a sort
of "snap judgment" on him by a levy in
his absence. The son soon strsi ghten ed
the matter up, and, in the meantime, MIR,
Heslv returned to his home.

ness. Everybody who knows Mr..
Healy, knows him to be a highly honor
able man and one Of solid traits OF char
acter. If be has got into any temporary
embarrassment, as many other good men
have he has plenty of good friends to see
him through. No one need be uneasy
shout losing anything by John Healy.
2. S.-Since writing the above we
have received the following letter from
Mr.. Hesly:

Editors of the Register.

rumor that l had made an assignment,
and had left this section-sll Of which is

farther that instead of making an assign
ment sold my interest in the stock of

Disgraceful.

We learn from excellent authority,
that gang of boys and half grown men
have been for long time in the habit OF
visiting the Cbapline Street NJ. L.
Church, and annoying the congregation
BY misbehavior of various kinds, even
going SO far as to play cards and dice on
the back benches. The members OF The
church protested against slch conduct,
but got laughed ST for their pains. AT
last, forbesrance ceased 10 be a virtue and
1t was determined TO make the first par
ties caught at wrong doing, suffer for it.
For several nights past policeman has
been 10 attendance keeping watch over
the parties who were well-known. Moth
ing occurred TO disturb tho harmony Of
the meeting since the officer has been on.
duty until last night when a noise which
resembled, and which the officer thought
was the throwing OF dice attracted his at
tention. The pastor was preaching at the
particular time and the officer not wish
ing TO disturb the rest OF the audience
beckoned to some of the members to
come down TO where he stood he wishing
assistance to take the culprits. The per-
sons beckoned 10 did not understand the
signal, and paid no attention, seeing
which the officer called loudly for help.
The stiffness of the meeting being so
ASuptly broken, scene of excitement
tolnSed, during which the boys were
taken A.he lookup, when, after much
solicitation they were released. 1t Is
snuewhat reYNurkahle thst some of the
very persons whSSsve been demanding
the arrest of theseNcys should be the
first to find fault with IA ctficer for pro.
ceeding as he did. Is NSult to I'M
sgine how the officer could haSNsdopted
any other course and secure the guilty
parties.
We turn from this to say that the in
terest in the revival services and MEM
bers of tie congregation are increasing.
Two were forward on Monday night and
one person joined on probation. A good
harvest is looked for in the near future.

Case of DestitutiOn.

There is q case of very poor family
living in All alley in East Wheeling,
whose sad condition is worthy the stten-
tion of our charitable people. The family
consists of the father, mother and STA
children, one OF whom has been so Ill
that it was thought to DO dying a few
days since. The father is y sober, indus
trious man, willing TO work but unable
TO get anything to do. He was miner
and DUNG the strike lost his position.
He hss been out of work for about seven
weeks snd had it not been for the kind
ness of some charitable friends they must
have suffered for the necesssries OF life.
AS it is, the family have had 10 sacrifice
much Of their neediul furniture in making
the attempt to keep the wolf from the
door. Here is q case in which any one
wishing TO have work done can find q
good reliable man, q member, we believe,
of one of the uptown churches, who will
not only take anything ne can get TO do
but is anxious 10 do it. By inquiry at
the Atlantic Engine House the full name
of the man above referred to can be OBJ
tanned.
