Blowing the Wrong Horn.

The following very peculiar item of news
appeared in the last issue ofthe MDuch Chunk
Democrat. 1t is news to our people, and es-
pecially to our band:
1t is said that the Lehlghton Band met
for practice few evenings since in a box
car of the L. & S. Road, and now their rivals
here of the Ph@niX have dubbed them the
New Jersey Central Box Car Band.
Excelsior band, of Lehighton, the only
band in the borough, it is safe to assert, never
did such thing as that item describes; nor is
it likely that their neighbors, the Phoenix ARE
trying to load them with an odious misno-
mer. The Excelsior ranks, in point of re-
spectability, among the best village ban ds
in this portion of the valley, have per.
manent and commodious place to meet for
practice, and have always managed in
modest way to "blow their own horns"
On Tuesday, the 10th inst, they propose to
give rousing pic mic on the grounds in this
borough near the L. & S. depot, to which
the scribe who penHed the above libelous
paragraph is invited, when they will teach
him by the most genial hospitality that
"It-is.said' sometimes plays the over-anx-
ious news -gatherer for gawk.

The committee then proceeded to the Le-
highton cemetery and decorated the graves
of soldiers buried there.
1t had been hoped by Mr.. Graver and
those who assisted him in the labors of the
occasion, that the Sabbath schools of the
different churches IN Lehighton and Weiss
port would CO. operate with him in the SER
vices, and their failure TO do SO robbed the
ceremony of half its eclat If the churches
really hold the opinion that strewing Aow-
ers, in fond memory, annually upon the

bath. 1t is even claimed that the last Sun
day in May, instead of the S0th, would have
been far more appropriate, and thus it would
have been a special, solemn occasion for i'm
pressing lessons of religious truth and duty.

Magistrate Hagany's Hearings.
A FEW CASES TRIED LAST NIGHT.

FEW CASES TRIED LAST NIGHT.
Magistrate Hagany was deprived ofhis
usually quiet evening last night by quite
a s'run" of cases, and his office was a
centre OF attraction for an hour or more.
The first case was the most interesting,
that of Robert Hagan, who was sued by
Mary Coma. han for assault aud battery.
The assault was committed on Wednes-
day, and the facts as elected by the tes-
timony, were as follows. On chat day
John Conaghan and Hagan got into a
difficulty near Eighth street market
house and Conaghan was badly braien
and kicked. The wife Of Conaghan was
standing nea. and at once lent hand
TO help her husband. Hagan TURNED on
her and abused her sorely with kicks and
blows. Hagan on Tuesday night was
tried before the Mayor and fined $500
to keep the peace for assault on Mr..
Copaghan, as he was the aggressor. For
assauIting the woman he was fined two
dollars and held IN 5000 to keep the
peace.
The next case was that OF James Civ
en-, who was arr Aligned at complaint OF
many people living at Sixth and DUPONT
streets, near which his residence is sit
uated, and charged with int rferring and
abusing his neig ghbors. James was evil
IDENTIFY of an exceedingly nervous dispo-
sition, for he seemed struck with abject
terror when brought before the bar and
shook like one seized with very violent
attack of ague.
'I-ha-ha-haint-got any mo-mo-money'
he stammered, ,and all the while he shook
as though about to drop piece of him
self.
aOh, give us rest," interjected his
wife, "give us rest," and sit down.
jams continued to shake in excite
ment, and declare th At he chad no mo
mo.money," until the Justice let him off
without fine, after getting him to prom
ise not to annoy his neighbors any more.
The last case was that Of small boy
who trespassed on farmer outside the
city and took apples. AS he was little
fellow, and his mother a respectable
woman, and asked to have the name
"kept quiet" it is withheld.

Accident 10 q Race Horse.

Yesterday afternoon shortly after a
o'clock, as the trotting mare Jennie
Moore was being driven in Fourth street
from the Schuetzen Park, she became
frightened at cart, and suddenly swerv-
ing, broke one of the wheels of the bug
gy, and threw her driver from off his
seat. This only served to still more
frighten the animal, and it ran in Fourth
street at terrific rate of speed. She
continu ON Fourth street, until reach
ing the rail Dad, where train of freight
cars were standing, and seeing the cars
the frightened animal turned and ran up
the railroad as far as Seventh street,
where she was stopped. She was very
badly cut around the hind legs, and it
will be some time before she will be fit
to 90 on the race course again. The ami
NAL belongs to Mr.. Geo. ELLINGTON, Of
Pennsgrove, N. j., and at the time she
was frightened was being driven to the
steamer Susie A. Nc Call in order to be
taken home.

PuDer Selling Frauds.

Two travelling paper-venders stopped
in Wilmington, last night, and travelled
up and down Market street, yelling in
loud, but monotonous tones, "By the
New York American Life sixteen-page
ill,tstrated,paper, only five cents" Some
persons bought papers with eyes open to
the fact that they were being stuck, but
others bought innocently and were
fooled, The papers were all of the date
of July 10th last, which these enterpris-
ing venders had doubtless bought for a
mere song, and were making good prof
it by selling them at five cents copy. II
they try to push their business here AGAIN
tonight, people who read this and buy,
will do SO with their eyes open.

SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE IN MADISON
SQUARE GARDEN-THE RECORD.
New YORK, October S.-About 1000
persons witnessed the walking match to-
night, and more interest was felt in their
efforts. About four O'Clock this after
noon PIERCE ,the co!ored man, was totter-
ing around the track, half asleep. His
trainer insisted on his keeping the track,
and gave him large dose Of brandy to
freshen him up. The fellow drank 1t
eagerly and started off at run. He fell
in fit on the track shortly after, aud
was carried into his room, where he re-
malned for several hours. There were
rumors during the evening that the scor-
ing was not being promptly kept, and
that Murphy was being cheated and Fs-
Der also pushed back. Kemmerer and
Dickinson have finally retired. The bet.
ting at ii P. M. stood: 2 to 8 against
Murphy, to 2 against Faber, 6 to l

For the UazeIte.
Il Court.

The hall chamber, or place where JUS
tice is administered, the persons officially
assembled under authority Of law, at the
appropriate time, and place for the ad-
ministration Of justice, an official assem-
bly,, legally met together for the transac-
tion of judicial business, the Judge or
Judges, as distinguished ON the coun
sci or jury, or both.
The City Council does not possess,
through any Legislative act, the power
of Judicial Court, to Judge of the law
and evidence. Courts derive all their
powers through acts, or laws made for
them, or ceated for the pub ic good.
Their powers are limited by statute. A
body OF men met together for the trans
action of any business, may resolve
themselves into court without having
any power to enforce the rules of a
court, necessary for the very thing fol
which they assembled. Does the act OF
Assembly give to the City Council any
power to resolve themselve themselves
into anything more than what they real
ly are, legislative body? The Council
may issue subpGuas, &c., but have nc
power to compel witnesses to swear or 10
punish for contempt. The Councilmen
are all on same footing, all have right to
vote. No one of them can assume tobe the
Chief Judge, or to say that twelve ot
them should constitute jury, and the
balance be made Attorneys and Asso-
ciate Judges. I he thing is absurd. They
are in no sense Court, and cannot be
so legally construed. The City Counc
did hear and determine the case nov
pending before them, and proclaimed
what were the facts, as certified TO by tht
Judses and Inspectors who did examine
and pass Judgment on every ballot cast
The City Council has acted in this case
as required by the act of Assembly OF
the city charter. Now, does any sant
person suppose they will resolve them
selves into something else, and declare
their procamat on void? 1t is nonsense
and the sooner the Council quashes this
thing the better. 1t is being conducted
by few ambitious politicians Missed OIL
by set of brainless, irresponsible, dis
appoint ed, paD-suckers. 1t is useless tt
refer to the editorials written by theil
own Drained staff. The people know
where to look for truth. Let the yea:
and nays be called in this case at once
