Texas steer broke from drove tina. were be-

started on a wild rampage through
the streets, rapidly followed by two men on

When the bull dashed around Dave Fahcy's
corner, and suddenly looked into the saloon,
there was scene of wild dismay for a few
seconds among those who were present which
was highly ludicrOus.---A disgusting and
brutal exhibition took place Saturday night
at the Phoenix saloon. A rat and cock pit
has been built for the purpose of attracting
custom, and the first exhibition transpired
last night. Twelve rats had been secured,
which were to be slaughtered in five minutes
by II Scotch terrier. The rodents were turned
loose, the dog began the attack, and after
ward the first rat could not be in
duced to proceed further. Another
and larger dog was secured, who began the
attack vigorously but soon tired. The little
dog was tnen put back into the pit, which
scanned to inspire each canine with fresh
courage, and they again began vigorous
attack, and after much urging by the short
haired gentry, succeeded in killing the rats
in ten minutes. There is certainly city
ordinance, making it fneable and Furnishing
the parties, too, for engaging in dog
fsht, and the same should be amended
so as to include rat pits and cooking
mains, all of which pander to u brutal al d
yitisted taste and ought to be suppressed

Grissom, the murderer of DR.. Brown in
Aouston, about two years ago, was taken to
Huntsville, heavily ironed, where he is to be
ncarcerated, at hard labor, for ninety-nine
years. He was not taken to the old depot,
to saye his feelings or protect him from
the rude gaze of the world, but was
placed aboard the cars ut the Union depot.
No maudlin sympathy was manifested in his 4
behalf. lie was of the common mould, ard
no superior being like Adams. the iorger.--
Three marriage licenses and cleven deaths
made up the matrimonial and mortuary re-

her in the hour OF affection and adversely,
but provded for her wants, and when tele-
craphed that she was dying responded with
n telegraphic order conveying money for the
funeral expenses Lothes dying request was
to be buried without displays or ostentiation.
Such ia the life and ending of those who vlo-
lats the inexorable law of virtue. She
was said t. possess many. OF the
noblest attributes of womanhood, and per-
