Fight ON Market street.

Quite an excitement was occasioned
en- Market street near Front, last even
ing. about O'Clock, caused by a fight
the circumstances of which are about as
follows:
Messrs. Patrick and John Plunket,
were standing in front of their place of
business, No. 1O6 Market street, engaged
in conversation, when they noticed a
man by the name of Hugh Shields ap-
preaching them from the other side of
the street, but they did not think any
thing about it until Shields suddenly
walked up to Patrick Plunkett, and gave
hm violent push, which almost sent
him through their bulk window. Shields
was about to follow up the attack, but
John Pnnkett went inside the store and
procuring stick threatened to beat
Shields if he did not leave. Acting upon
this advice he left, and in a few minutes
Patrick started down to the corner to
see if there were any policemen about.
As he reached the corner Shields sudden
ly Jumped upon him and tussle ensued,
in which Shields was thrown to the
pavement While Mr.. =. was holding
him down, Shields, by some means got
a large knife out of his pocket and with
the blade gave Mr.. Plunkett three severe
cuts III the face. They were finally sepa-
rated, but Shields was not satisfied and
turned upon the brother of the wounded
man, but here he found more than his
match, for in few moments his head
was knocked through window glass of
the store, No. 104 same street.
In the meantime Patrick had procur-
ed a porter bottle, and returning hit
Shields blow upon the head which seem
ed to quiet him, as he soon afterwards
left the scene. Mr.. Plunkett, had his
wounds dressed at Mclnalrs drug store

neither lodge nor club. lie always
spent his evenings at home, and
Mrs. NaleDthIe is prepared to swear
that she never saw him read "A news
papcr at the break cast table, and
that in fact on the only occasion on
which she ever knew him to look
ut any newspaper he was looking at
list Of deaths and marriages. Who
can tell what anguish this wrctch's
unmanly conduct inflicted upon his
innocent witcf One day she went,
in desperation, To her Pastor and
begged him to call her "-.ool,'
explaining that as he was u minis
ter he could, Of course, use the eA.
preston in a purely theological and
innocent way. When the Mortified
Pastor asked her WHY sho made
such a request, she confessed, with
tears streaming from her eyes, that
she was u neglected wife, and that
her husband never spoke to her as
mon ought to speak to their wives,
and that she SHOULD die unless she
should hear some one use toward
her the language to which good
and true wife is entitled. This in
cidcnt tells more plainly than a doz
en- large octave volumns bound i'll
half calf, with gilt edges, could tell
the depth of misery into which the
miserable woman bad fallen.
The day, however, came when she
learned from Mr.. Valentines own
lips that he WAS IN iinpostcr. lie

a woman, and that though his dis
guisc had 81 far protected him the
hounds of Justice were now on his
track, and he must flee. The ont.
ragged wife, stunned by learning the
unexpected but horrible nature OF
the mystery which had surrounded
her husband, scratched his face
with sublime fury and went home
10 her father, where, like an early
Christian martyr, she now bears
her SORROWS with patience and res
ignition, waiting for judicial de
rrco asserting the nulllty of hcr
marriage, and the arrival OF u new

guidcd by the law of justice, mar
riagc is not state of bondage. In.
deed, it is only when they become
by this outward acknowledgment,
publicly avowcd lovers, that free.
dom is realized 10y them in its full
Significance. Thereafter they can
be openly devoted to each Others
interests, and avowcdly chosen and
intimate friends. Together they
can plan liic's battles. and enter up.
on the path of progress that ends
not with lic's cycntidc. Together
they can seek the charmed avenues
of culture, and, strengthened by
each other, can brave the worlds
frown in the rugged but heaven lit
path of reform. Home, with all
that is dearest in the sacred name,
is their peaceful and cherished re.
treat, within whose sanctuary bloom
the virtues that make it temple OF
