The Hlberniqns gave a ball at theiT
engine house last night, in which a large
number Of young people participated
to their great enjoyment. The atf,ir
was suddenly gotten up by the company,
the large attendance was therefore

Two negroes quarreed yesterday af
teruoon on Fifth street and in the fight
which followed, one Of them received cut
in the lower region Of the abdomen, from
a knife 10 the hands Of the o'her. DR..
Parker, who dressed the wound, pronounced
it of but little importance. The cutter,

try to please their patrons.

be pleasant night to dance, and that with
the other attractions promised will make It
the event of the season. Remember that

last opportunity you will have for good
solid and frolc for forty days. The

Yesterday Chief Myers took the young
negro George Harris to Frankfort, Kentucky
there to turn him over to the authorities

convict, being lecapturei, shall serve double
the time still due at the time Of the escape
According to this law Harris would have
to serve six years aud eight months instead
Of three years and four months. His re-
moval to Kentucky will save this county
the expense Of his trial and will probably
insure bis confinement 10 a safe place for ,
longer period Of time than would have beer
the case had be been tried here for his last
crime.
