A huge piece of humanity by the name OF

yesterday, that his watch had been taken away
from him. The proprietor of the New York
house had seized it, and he wanted it. The
chief recovered it for him. Meanwhile, Mr.
Ward allowed his grievance or something else
to so master him, that he wasn't fit subject
to appear on the streets. So he was made a
ward OF the city, and put in a cell for safe
| keeping.

Last evening shortly before 10 o'clock three
soldiers, from Fort Smelling, who had taken in
the varieties left their seats at the close of an
act, went to the bar and took smile. Re-
turning they found their seats had been COB
bled nor. They resi- ectfully requested that the
seats be given up, but receiving an insolent
answer, demanded their surrender. More inso-
lence followed, when some of the attaches of
the house unceremoniously bounced the bows
IN blue. On the sidewalk they protested loudly
against their treatment and attracted quite a
crowd. On officer Baer's arrival at the scene he
told them to move off, which they did, though
grumbling loudly at the injustice of their
| treatment. A little later, however, Baer march
| ed them into the station house.
