An old gentleman and his son were ar
rested Saturday, night and are now con-
fined in the "oven," for fighting. 1t ap.
pears that the family, females and all, have
periodical attacks Of drunkenness, and it
during one of these attacks that the father
and son agreed to settle a little difficulty
between them by a regular t~isticuff. But 10
their discontinue the lynx eyed official
bounced down upon them just as they be-
gan their little affray. They will have

Mr.. John Higgins, who it will be re.
membered a few wee ks ago walked out Of
his second story window whilst in a fit of

be able to leave his bed for a few hours

A slight disturbance occurred Saturday
night at the ball between two of the men
who are engaged driving The piles for the
railroad. They were promptly arrested
and taken before the Mayor, who taxed
them $3.50 apiece, and admonished them
10 sin no more.
quite an exciting race took place on Sat-
urday afternoon last between the Chesa.
peake and Regular. We heard some very
unfavorable comments passed by those who
witnessed il at the seeming reckless man
ner in which the Regular was handled.
For a while it looked like n collision would
take place between the latter and the
steamer Princess, as the latter steamer was
crowded in against a barge lying just
above the ferry. A little more care should
be exercised by river men, and less acct.
dents would he the result.
One Of our young men whose name Is
suppressed this time, became very anxious
10 win fame as a pugilist on Saturday last,
but finding no one indulging the same feel
ings, ASA ulted a weak minded youth, the
result of which was this young man, wish.
ing to be known as a bruiser, was relieved
of his surplus revenue by Squire Pelley,
who promptly arrested him.

A Bindery Row,

On Saturday afternoon a fight occurred
in the bindery of Mills, Frew & Co., at the
hteligclcer office, which the News Letter
describes as follows:
I'm paying of his force of hands Mr..
Mills allowed Charley 0'Donnell, one of
his apprentice boys, pay for a number Of
hours extra work, which Charley claimed
was not sufficient. The boy kept "growl-
ing about the matter, and Mills told him
to shut up or he would thrash him. The
threat having no effect, the boss at.
tempted to put it into execution, and was
promptly knocked down by the youth.
Getting upon his feet again, Mills caught
up a hammer and struck Charley above the
eye, making 3 bad cut. 0'Donnel then
knocked him down q second time, and
seizing the hammer dealt him several
heavy blows about the head. The bslli.
gerents were separated by a job printer who
was attracted to the spot by the racket.
and each went of in search Of sticking
plaster with which to paste up his
wounds"
The affair will be investigated at the
Police Court, to-day.
