Two men, whose names were subse-
quently given as Fred Robel and Hem

Hecker s. Mahler, No. 100 Grand st.,
williamsburg, on Monday, and pur-
chased two hats. In payment they
rendered fifty-dollar greenback and
received in change $46. Later it was
learned that the firty-dollar bill was a
counterfeit. The police were informed
but the men ooald not be found. Yes
terday they again entered the store.
They were told that the fifty-dOllar
bill they had passed was a counterfeit
and expressed much surprise at the
info nation. They at once gave 9TH
or money for it, and explained that
they had recently been on trip to
Germany to visit their friends. On
their return they received the fifty
dollar bill with other bills in exchange
tor German money from an exchange
broker, named l.. Wenken, in Bremen.
This explanation seemed satisfac'

Police Court,

Before the Mayor, last evening. Rev
James w. Cham bers, col, pastor OF the
colored church over Third street bridge,
charged Benz. Fisher, a local preacher
connected with his church, with threat.
ening to shoot him. The main cause OF
this trouble was Fishers fondness for
the pastors wife, which seemed to be
reciprocated by her. At last, when til 3
Rev. James told her that Fisher could
come to the house no more, she lett
home and went to reside at the house Of
Harriet DENLY, where Fisher met her,
Harriet DENLY heard Fisher say he
would shoot the pastor.
The plaintiff swore he was In bodily
fear Of Fisher, and the latter was held
In 500 to keep the peace and required
TO pay costs.

MussELs STARVING OUT OYs

MUssELS STARVING OUT OYS,
TERs.-According to the New York
papers, Princes bay, one of the
chief oyster grounds from which
New York Is supplied, is seriously
threatened with scarcity of the BIZ
valves. These oysters grounds are
about seven miles, long by five wide
and cover about thirty six square
miles. Of these from the light to the
Gray Kills distance of three miles,
the beds are badly infested by mus
sells. Over this nine square miles the
mussols have ''set" and are starving
the oysteres so that they are dying
by thousands The owners of the
ground are moving their oysters and
trying to rid them of the mussels,
but they are unable to do very much.
1t is estimated the product will be
decreased at least one.seventh OF
the year.
The New York Evening Post ASSERTS
that the practice OF feeding cattle and
oQs for the markets OF this country and
Eutope on the refuse OF distilleries pre-
walls to an enormous extent in the States
of OHIO, Kentucky, Indiana and ILL
nois. That it is done to Q great extent
is very well known, and II the Posts
picture is not overdrswu 1t Is high time
some effective steps were being taken TO
suppress 1t. Our exportetions or peel
and pork have grown in few years to
vast proportions, and 1t is of immense Q
economic importance to the country
that these products should not bs dis
credited through any portion OF It being
made up Of the dropsical and Dloateu
swilled beef Of these cattle. At home,
where there Is little or no omc'al In
spection, 1t is of even more impor lance
that this UNIV holesome food should not
b ave o sale. Every few years there Is
mora or less excitement on this suhjec
and the public stomach is turned by the
too faithful pictures which are given OF
tha loAthsome nature OF this traffic. For
a lime 1t may be checked, but tt Is soon
narm,Ited to go on the same as ever.--

Correspondence Of the GAZETTE.
This morning opened with beautiful
weather, q SOU Ii wipd and cool atmos-
phere, all Of which made the camp very
pleasant, indeed. When we closed up
our work, yesterday, and the noise Of
fixing ceased, the bell sounded for
preaching and we all gathered at the
stand to hear the word, which was dis
pensed by Rev. B. w. Chase, from this
text: "But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their trength".-Iss. 40:31.
The reverend gent leman gave us a
very good talk, and the meeting ended
with a short prayer meeting. At 1880
O'Clock there was preaching by Rev. w.
: Il. Aspiral, from The brief, but express
sive text, ,"Grow In grace" ii Peter 1918.
The brother Is young man,but he made
an excellent effort. His sermon was
well put up, and hope did much good.
At 2 80 o'clock in tue afternoon, Rev.
B. w. Chase preached from Nehemiah,
$40: "For the joy OF the Lord is your
strength" He gave us very good talk.
I learn from The brother who brought
me some copies OF the GAZETTE that it
is very warm in the city. l will there
fore invite folks in town to come out to
the camp, where we have plenty to eat
and weather as pleasant as heart can
wish, and when you come yOa will say

RIOrOUs NEGROES.
A Row at t. nth and Orange and
Trouble over Eleventh st. Bridge.

For the past few weeks riotous and
disorderly negroes have been raisi e
trouble in various parts of the city, and
seem to bave no regard for the law or
fear of the police.
Last night, obout 10 o'clock, negro
rough named VIM. Green, went to the
barber shop Of Chas. Byard, COL, at
Tenth aud Orange streets, aud acted 10
a very disordeily manner. Byard or
dered him oui and on his refusal struck
him, whereupon Green left. Byard fear
ing he would return, went down to the
police station and asked for protec. ion,
aud Chief Maxwell sent srecial officers
TAYLOR and Farron out with instructions
to arrest Green If they found him acting
in disorderly manner, either ON the
street or In Byard's sal Ion.
Arrived at Tenth and Urapge streets,
the officers found Green,very drunk and
disorderty and at onca took him In
charge. He resisted violently, and a
negro woman, standing by, called oul
to crowd OF negro men across the street,
"don't let the id policemen take that
man." The crowd at once acted upon
this sug yestlon, and hercely assailei the
officers with stones, one Of the missiles
striking officer Taylor in the batk with
such force as to almost take his breath
away. Fiuding that the roughs we're
pressing them too closely officer Taylor
drew his pistol and fired two shots In
the air, which had the effect of making
them draw back, and the officers took
their struggling pisoner away from the
neighborhood.
During the attack upon the officers a
negro named Charles Dillahay, ap-
preached them with stones in each hand,
which he was about to throw, when he
was vgo ousiy snatched by ex policeman
Wm. Farrady, and taken to th police
station along with Green. Both prison
ers struggled vicionsly until they were
securely locked up in the cell.
This morning the Offenders had hear
ing before Mayor Almond, who told
them the limit Of the penalty hs could
impose upon them, $40 and costs, was
too small aud lie would therefore hold
them in the sum of $500 bail each, for
trial at the next term OF Court. In de.
fault of bail they will be committed.

The Medical Congress.
LONDON, August 0, 1881

Tne seventh International Medical
Congress closed to-day and the member )
dispersed after banquet held at tn
Crystal Palace to- night. The do Snpou
yesterday afternoon caused much disap =
pointment to the mem bers OF The Con
gress, and especially to the American
and Canadian delegates; who had been
invited to attend Baroness Burdstt-
Couu's garden party at Holly Lodge,
Highgate, one of the most beautiful resi-
dences on the Northern Heights, above
London. Yet, In spite of the rain, over
q thousand deleg ates and their wives
made the pilgrimage thither. They
were debarred by the weather from en-
jOying the beautiful park, and were re :
ceived by the Baroness in one of the
long conservatories. Her American hus-
band paid special attention to deleg ates
from the United States and Canada.

1t is clearly established that the
Canadians did willfully and knowingly
use American mail bags on Canadian
service. The facts admitted by the
Canadians leave no doubt of this and
the excuses offered are both false and
lame. 1t is a very petty business and
is by no means calculated to inspire
any respect for Canadian officials, for
the very reason that their use OF our
bags and their subterfuges are SO petty
and mean. The Canadians always in
their press and public speeches seem
to have an insane desire to ''get even
with the Yankees" though what fo.
is neither clearly expressed nor i'm
piled. Most assuredly, however,
stealing mail bags and getting up boz
gus fishery s atistics is not the way to
get even for any slight or wrong,
which is purely imaginary, and such
performances can only inure to the in
jury of the Canadians in anyone'sgood
opinion.
