MORE BULLDOzING.
How Much Have we yet to Bear


This forenoon the venerable H.
Lemon went out by way of the Horn
Lake road to Camp Marks to bring
bread to the city for the use of the
sick here. He had no pass and was
permitted to 60 by upon explaining
that a pass had been issued to him,
but that it had been left behind by an
oversight. The bread was obtained
and the return trip entered upon. He
came in by way of Kerr avenue.
Upon reaching the picket squad, but
without knowing of their presence,
one suddenly dashed from a covert at
the head of Mr.. Lemons horse yelling
Halt Mr.. Lemon told the picket to
get away or he would shoot. The man
got. Mr.. Lemon had no weapon but
motioned as if there was one in his
pocket. The man retreated and called
Justify for the captain of the guard.
Upon being reinforced Mr.. Lemon
and his bread wagon were placed un-
der arrest and escorted before Esq.
Galloway on Adams street. There a
proper bond was given and the veneer
able gentleman was released to answer
tomorrow for violating the quarantine
rules and for threatening an
.oficious picket, who, in his overhead
BUSINESS, doubtless believed himself
performing a valorous deed. The
insolence Of numerous medical in
specting and quarantine officials, Of
the whippersnapper order, is becoming
so very oppressive that a few doses Of
pistol or cOwhide will be necessary to
bring them to a proper sense of their
places. 1t was only on Saturday even
ing last that one Williford, a sneak in
the employ of the board Of health
tribe, pulled with the magnitude Of
the temporary place he occupies, rem
dered himself exceedingly offensive to
a lady who was unfortunate enough to
be obliged to undergo a catechising by
the despicable character. 1t will be
necessary, after a while, should this
unfortunate siege continue much
for eSea women to go armed
in violation of laws to that effect, that
they may be prepared to defend them
against the noxious presence of
such things.

Fern Gathering.

Fern gathering is rarely a dangerous
pastime. In the frosty, autumn woods
all the reptiles coil themselves way
under stones or logs and do not leap
out in the lively style of July. But
as Miss Mary B. Bussing, the daugh-
ter Of a wealthy Brooklyn gentleman,
was searching for ferns at Englewood,
N. j., the other day, a locomotive
dashed through the copse in which
she happened to be and the poor girl
was instantly killed. She was crossing
the track on the sides of which clus-
tered fine growths of the beautiful
plant, when, in her haste, her dress
caught in the trestle-work. When
picked up she held a bunch of the
first autumn leaves of the season in
her hand and her own blood doubly
empurpled them.

The mouth of st. Francis has filled
up with a mud bar, making it very
difficult for the smallest boats to gel
up. We left about 200 bales New
Orleans cotton at the mouth Of st
