there by Mr.. Grinstead to watch and attend
to his int crest. 1t seems that the parties
were not on good terms before the affray
The woman claimed the privilege of going
into the garden for what she wanted and

Messrs. Ford & Cassidy, the grain mer-
chants published the names of few
boys in the STAR Thursday evening last,
stating that they were greatly annoyed by
the so-called Tulisville Regimentals. We
deem this very unpleasant and unkind
way of correcting us, as the public will
surely regard it as disgrace and slander,
when it could have been easily obviated
and saved our names from public print by
a private note to our respective parents.
Respectfully, TUTIsvILLE.
