A white woman in the vicinity Of the
circus tent, yesterday afternoon, was engag-
cd in animated conversation with man,
when some one struck her violent blow
in the face, backing one Of her eyes.
Whether the man with whom she was talk
inc or somebody else struck the blow, Is not
positively known. The woman inquiring
for an officer, left the ground.
1T was lank, snarling yellow dog,
and for four mortal hours twelve year old
colored boy pursued it, in the expectation
of realizing the price of show ticket.
Here, there and everywhere that hateful
brute led that hopeful and persevering boy,
until the afternoon show was nearly over,
Then hurting brick at the contraband
canine that heart-broken lad covered his
face with his hands, and bursted into tears.
His heart, as we have observed, was bro.

If the localizer of the daily press
could see all the occurrences Of which, rs q
noter-down of passing events he is com
PEELED to speak, he might, even then differ
with other witnesses Of the same facts.
Forced, as a rule, however, to receive his
information econd-handed, absolute accur-
racy is an impossibility. The local columns
of daily paper are but record of what
the reporter sees and hears. If he fails to
see Alright, or is misinformed, the succeed
ing paper is very apt to betray the fact.
Our railroads that serve as feeders to
one another, are very clever neighbors. The
st Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern road
having reduced the width of Its gauge, was
without engines to correspond. The Illinois
Central, being we'll supplied In that regard,
placed ten of her engines at the service of
the l. NJ, and the last one will be sent over
Friday. The G. & V. has exhibited like
neighborly disposition. The track of the
l. NJ. will be finished to the new gauge as
far out as Poplar Bluffs, Mo-, to-day.
AT the last term of our Circut Court,
Houston, colored girl about l6 years of
age, was committed to Jail for the period of
thirts days and sentenced TO pay a fine of
$25 and costs. As the term of imprison-
ment has expired, and as the prisoner is in
a condition that threatens 10 render the law
responsible for the imprisonment of an en-
trely innocent individual Of very tender
years, her attorneys have made application
for her release. Emma is another of those
unmarried unfortunates" of whom Modes
tus wrote
George Gillem came over from Ken
lucky, yesterday, and effecting purchases of
shoes, etc, loaded up with cheap whisky.
II was very natural consequence for
George to become boisterous; but the yio-
lence in which he INDUCED is said to have
been new development IN him. He had just
been quoted by one of the police
men when one of his acquaintance drove
by in a wagon. This Acquaintance Gillem
assaied very rudely, and persisted in his
assault until the acquaintance felt con
strained to seize chair standing in the
wagon, and give the belligercnt fellow sew
eral telling blows with it. Both parties
were arrested, but through the representa-
tons of citizens who saw the whole affair
only Gillem was held, the other being re-
leased. After hearing the testimony
Squire Robinson fined Gllem IS and costs,
and, in default Of payment committed him
to jail.
Among the hundreds of persons who
have paid the penalty Of their misdeeds by
III my ha'S
left, in pencil marks upon the walls, the
proof of their genius. The verse-maker and
song writer have been there, and left in
black upon the white-washed logs very
creditable evidence of the possession of
touch at least of the poetic fire. Men skilled
| as craftsmen, rs picture makers have, been
there also; and the gunboat and country
home, drawn out in careful and studious
detail speak of the exercise of considerable
skill and tireless perseverance. That the
blackguard' and beast-thc man of grovel-
ing instincts and terribly depraved nature,
have all been there, the contents of the wall
furnish sufficient testimony For the man who
has relish for mixed literature and varied
specimens of art as developed in low life,
