offensive manner, yesterday, that our cor
servators of the peace felt constrained
} "pull her" before Squire Robinson. Sh
was fined IS and costs, and, beng able t
secure the payment of the amount, escapes
the calaboose.
Bill Spivins and Gus Baggs wer
brought before Squire Robinson, yesterday
to answer for an indulgence in plain, un
adorned drunk. The drunk was innocen
of all boisterous adornwents, and was held
therefore, to be worth only one dollar, anc
costs, to each of them. A stay was given t.
Spivins. Baggs went to the calaboose.
| Officer Schutter arrested colored wo'
man for drunkenness, about 8 o'clock last
night, and four brass bands, two boiler
wards and all the animals in Hongler's men,
agerie could scarcely have drowned the
noise she made while en- route for the Gala
boose. The good natured Schutter should
have gagged her. Her shriekS were simply
| terrific.
The several horn-blowers who consti-
tute the Comique band are improv-
ing, greatly. It's a very difficult matter
to furnish soft, smoothe brass music from
moving wagon; but the music OF the
Camioue band is, nevertheless, very
respectable The tuba player croaches
out notes about the size of foot
balls. He is tuba enough for half dozen
L flats.
1t was reported 10 us, yesterday even
ing, that the colored girl whose name had
been associated with Jimmy Motifs in q
public scandal, had become mother, and
that the father of the girl, meeting Mott in
the street, yesterday made personal as
sault upon him. Ii all this is continue
ton of the scheme that Mott publicly de-
l.clared was devised by ignorant niggers to
iniure him, it can scarcely be denied that
1.-The plot thickens."
l. While it is none of our friend Walber's
business how we deal with the Hogan case,
we have to say that we scanned our eX-
changes carefully, up TO Thursday, when we
put our copy in hand, and gave every word
of comment touching the verdict, that fell
under our observation. From first 10 last
we have dealt with Mr.. Hogan with far
greater leniency than he or his friends had
occasion to expect, or did expect-putting
a strong curb upon our personal feelings
we confess, in doing so.
A colored man who lives IN the vicinity
of Nineteenth and Poplar, and who is rec
ognized by the name of Alb Mohan, was
brought before Squire Robinson, yesterday
to answer for threshing his wife. His
guilt vas established, and the Squire I'M
posed fine upon him of five dollars and
costs of suit. Mr.. NOLAN may regard it
very manly thing to give the old woman a
betting now and then; but we'll venture the
prediction that, if he repeats the perform
ance with any degree of regularity, he'll
find it the most expensive pastime IN
which he ever INDUCED.
Andy Cain, the !jailer, with gang of
two men and two large boys, was abroad
yesterday, removing the mud from the cross
walks. Our J. P's would favor the
public if they will make every
ram pretcxt for calaboosing
about dozen loafers. Such force would
keep all the much.used cross walks in the
city in passable condition. Our pedes-
trians, and especially the females have no
greater nuisance to contend with. after
heavy rains, than our wretchedly muddy
and generally dclapidated cross walks.
