An Enjoyable Entertainment.

An Enjoyable entertainment.
The Young Mems Hebrew Associa-
ton gave a recherche entertainment
in their hall last night to a crowded
and brilliant audience. The pro-
gramme was we'll selected, including
music, Rotations, dialogues, etc.
Each part was splendidly given, but
the recitation by Miss Boschwitz,
the vocal Duet by Mrs. Hawks and
Miss Barinds-and the dialogue reefs
tation by Messrs. Coleman and ROsens
thai, we're especially fine. Indeed, all
did themselves credit, delighting the
audience and eliciting hearty and en-
thdsiastic applause and encores. The
lecture on the Battle of Life, by
Judge Simmons formerly of Sardis,
Miss, but now editor of the Reporter
at Henderson, Ky.), was the specially
of the evening, and for one hour the
Judge held his audience so entirely at
command, and elected such frequent
outbursts of applause-which at the
close was continued for full ten min
utes or more-as must have satisfied
him that he had struck the popular
heart, and awakened a responsive
chord in the mind of every one of the
three hundred or mole who were
present, a majority of whom perhaps
were ladies. Many encomiums were
passed upon the Judges effort, and
beautiful flowers, accompanied by the
smiles OF the fair sex, rewarded him as
Se know our old friend preferred to be
rewarded. The young men and the
committee Of arrangements deserve
great credit for the handsome and
delightful entertainment which was
universally enjoyed.

A WOman,s Wrath.

The fearful violence of the unre.
strained feminine temper was exhib-
tied to an alarming extent by the tes-
timony to-day in the case Of Mrs.
Straw6el, charged with an assault Of
the most aggravated and unprovoked
character upon Mrs. Harris. The
parties live at 338 Main street. Yes
terday at noon Mrs. Strawfel assaulted
Arthur Harris while the latter was
drawing water at common well, pur-
sued him into the street and knocked
him down. He finally mustered up
courage To strike her with the water
bucket and ran again. Mrs. Harris,
who witnessed the affair, put on her
bonnet and started down stairs to get
a warrant. She carried a Ratchet
with her TO protect herself. Mrs.
StrawGsl met her at the foot Of the
steps and asked II she intended to
have her arrested. Mrs. Harris re-
piled in the affirmative and was at
once assaulted by Mrs. StraWiel, q
woman twice her size, who literally
wiped up the pavement with her. A
washerwoman kept Mrs. StraWfel
from getting possession Of the Ratchet
or the consequences might have been
worse. She was fined $50. Arthur
