At His Old Hablts,

George Hey, butcher, who was tried
at session Of the New Castle Court,
under an indictment of an attempt to
kill, condemned and pilloried, was up
again before His Honor, Mayor Almond
last night for maltreating his wife.
Henry Pennington, Esq, appeared as
his counsel, and during the argument
raised the point that as there had been
no proof given of a wilful assault the
only charge was drunkenness, and as
that commission of drunkenness took
place in Mr.. Hey's own home he could
not be amendable to the law. His
Honor thought otherwise and sentenced
him to pay IS and cost and give bail in
the sum Of 800 to keep the peace.

THE ARLINGTON MILLS.
strike aA OnE the Weavers-Increase
Of Pay Dsmanded-IMdic dicattOns ol
the M0yemeut aDecOunlmy (;e0ernl

For some time back the weavers, both
male and female, ,at the Arlington mills,
have been dissatisfied at the decrease in
their pay that has been going on from
time to time. Yesterday afternoon this
dissatisfaction eliminated in manifest
disposition on their part to bring the
firm to a sense of alleged duty, and 50
two of the strikers went to the Office and
notified their employers of their inten.
tions, and informed them that If some
amicahle arrangements were not consu.
mated they would quit at once.
The firm refused, so the workmen
say, and the meu left. This action on
the part OF these two was the begin
ming, and 1t was followed by some
twenty 1.-TWO others, who stopped their
looms and joined their companions.
The demand Oh the part of the work.
men Is for an increase of from twelve to
fifteen and twenty dollars month en-
two looms. They allege that the "cut-
ting down" has been going on for some
time and that when the first movement
was made, the wages ranged as high as
thirty five dollars a month.
When the complaint was first made
to the company, the firm promised
compliance and gave the dissatisfied
ones to understand that their griev-
ances would be satisfactorily arranged;
as the company is under no financial
embarrassment and this promise has not
as yet been made good, the strikers
took the aggressive measure to expe
dite matters. Whether 1t will have the
desired effect is not stated. The weav-
ers still hold out and the mill is put
to a great Inconvenience through the
stoppage Of the looms.
There are two hundred others EN-.
ployed in the works, and there is con-
siderable feeling existing. The sym
pathy is with the strikers and the
restlessness on the part of those who
remain is such as to cause the gravest
on the part of the super
and bosses that the move
ment will become general.

How He went TO NeWDort.

A young gentleman bet party of
his frien Is 81, last evening, that he
could walk from Third and Madison to
Newport and back in an hour and a
half. AT exactly S o'clock, the walkist
started, sailing down Madison street at
pace that would have filed Rowell
with envy. About an hour later one
OF the party happening to pass down
Monroe street, espied the gallant pedes-
trlan coming up Monroe street at an
easy pace. He showed no signs of ia
tigue, and as his boots were az brightly
polished as when he started, it is sup
posed that the walk to Newport was
made without a Kane" How Is it

A Had Prar1fea

A couple of white boys last evening
at the corner of Eighth and Lombard
streets, between eight and nine o'clock
threw stones at a lady, and not satisfied
with throwing at her, had the au-
dacity to run after her, pelting her
with them, while she was passing
peaceably to her home. 1t is thought
their names can be ascertained and
given to the Mayoa, who is the only
one that can cure them of the abomi-
nable practice, and hehas publicly as
serted that this is his intention.

Says the Amrrican Ayr'cmtmiH. The
most economical for milch COWS is mix
ture of hay, meal and bran; another
most economical way of feeding these i.
to cut the hay, mosten it, and sprink I+
the meal and bran over it. This gives
some trouble, but it pays. From or
own practice We believe 2j per cent.
of the feed is saved. One bushpl- basket
full of hay and y quarts of corn meal
and bran, mixed in equal portions, 's
feed for a COW in good milk. To
some cows more Of the meal and bran
may be given proftably; this may e
found by testing the different cows.
The above feed is for half a day, max
ing five quart. of the meal and bran
daily.

The other Side,

In yesterdays REPUBLICAN there was
a report that clerk in one of our stores
had been arrested for not paying his
taxes by tax collector. Tile young
man called upon us to-day and says
that the reason he refused to pay was
because the bill which the collector
presented, bore an entirely different
name than that of the young man, and
he only paid the bill to save himself
from trouble. Happening to know the
young man in question, We can attest
to his honesty and prolnptness in pay
ing any honest bill, but we do not
wonder that he refuses to pay that tax
bill, the name upon it being no more
like his than James Smith is like John
