Magistrate Vandegrift's Court,

Last evening Mary Megary was ar
raigned before Magistrate Vandegrift,
charged with violently assaulting John
Quinn. Mary resides in South Will
'aington and owns number of geese.
The innocent fowls wandered aimlessly
over the property of John Quinn, a
neigkbor. That gentleman endeavored
to drive the troublesome creatures from
his premises which resulted in Mary
hurting him considerably by hitting
him with large stones. For this pas.
time Mary was fined two dollars and
costs and held in a one hundred dollar
peace bond.
This morning John Jackson, colored,
was arraignsd before the same Magis.
trate, charged with being drunk and
disorderly. When sober John is very
inofensive, but let him become intoxi-
Gated he becomes very rude. While in
this condition he used abusive and
threatening language towards James
Manlove. He was fined one dollar and
costs and held in q one hundred dollar
peace bond. As his pocket did not
contain the filthy lucre he was confined
In the city cells and in all probability
will reside at New Castle for thirty
