the leaves and the top of the igrass-leav-
ing only the stalk standing. -ridings Of
their presence and ravages rea ch us from

Friday last, the Ellis factory came in for
Il little attention. A charge Of electricity
struck the second story near the south
west corner, passing down the line Of the
two windows, shattenng the glass and
shivering planks in its route, and turning
the corner escaped from the front. A boy
was eating his dinner very near the line
followed, and several other hands were
near by but none were hurt, though con-
siderably surprised and rallied. Some
brio ks were disturbed at the top of the
wall, but the damage can be covered by
$15.
The police docket was mostly dis
posal Of arrests for drunkenness. -Four
arrests were made as follows: VIM. Dix

Robt. Bell we're brought before Esquire
Heath, Monday. The first three were
charged with assault and battery, on which
Dixie plead guilty, and Cummings was
found guilty, Roach was discharged on
this complaint. The four were then tried
on charge of riot, but the evidence being
insufficient the case was dismissed, Dixie
and Cummings were oalle i to answer the

were convicted. The result of the whole
business is that Roach and Bell were dis
charged, Dixie and Cummings have fines
and costs amounting to $40 for Dixie and
sos for Cummings.
