Keener and Miss Hattie Ward, both white,
made their appearance, and asked the
Squire TO duplicate for them the attentions

the matrimonial mcshes by the Squire,

Sarah Williams who is now serving out
a fify-four day term in the calaboose, and a
Mrs Lambeau, who lives in the upper part
of the city, are both white women; but,
strange to say, both Of them have set their
affections upon one black man. lnsugated

was near its end, appeared before Squire
Comings, yesterday, and asked for protec-
