An old fisherman named VIM
Green appeared in court to-day to
prosecute a number of boys who
assaulted him one dark night this
week at his cabin on Goat Hill. He
was unable to prove the identity of
his assailants, and two boys who had
been arrested at his instance were dis
charged.
A female witness in the police
court to. day was obliged to remeve
her veil, with which her features were
obscured, the attorney arguing that

derly conduct at the Gayoso House.
She desired to evade the giving Of
bond for costs by taking the pauper's
oath. The Judge, in good old Su.
preme Court style, took the matter
under advisement, saying he didn't
want to open food gate like that if
he could help it. Nobody except
plain DRINKS ever plead the pauper act
in that court before.
Late yesterday evening the ladies of
the Mission Home sent Chief Davis
word that they were informed a young
woman had just arrived from Dyers~
burg whom it would be advisable to
look after. The Chief sought her out
and had her retained at the station
house last night but released her this
morning, as it was plain she was too
far sunk in the depths of infamy ever
to besraised again to respectable
level: She is young and handsome,
but depraved to an extent almost i'm
possible to conceive. She uses language
obscene enough to make cold SILVER
run through the most hardened sinner
and has absolutely 40 shame. She
gave her name as Mary Woods, and
said her present condition dated from
her ninth year.

cerned in proper time, SO witnesses

tendance.
The charges against Miss Tovell read

son, aged eleven years, attends the Leath

pal has been guilty of treating his said

eral severe blows over the head with a
ruler, breaking the ruler and inficting a
dangerous and painful wound on his

premises as you may deem Just and proper
and in duty bound, etc.
II. MENDRLsoN.
1t is understood that the offense
committed by the lad was the writing
of note for a pupil named Crosby,
and signing the name of Crosby's
mother to it, by which means Crosby
was excused from school to attend the
Maifest at Estival Park a few days
ago.

The Terror of Horses.

1t is matter of serious complaint
that dealers in hides in this city toss
their goods out in the street when a
sale is made, greatly to the terror Of
horses and mules, and to the peril Of
those who use buggies and carriages
There is nothing on earth that so
frightens a horse, or even a mule, as q
hide, especially one dry enough to
rattle. He shrinks from it instinct
lively, as from q ghost of departed ami
NAL life, and quivers with fear at the
sight and sound and odor. Only a day
or two ago a mule belonging to Mr..
John Reid took fright at a pile Of
hides in front of store on Front
street, aud SHE'D across the street,
greatly to the peril of three ladies'.
There is no special ordinance against a
pile of hides, any more than against a
box of boots or shoes, but there is a
difference. and it should be recog~
niEed. The authorities will do we'll to
look after this matter before some
serious injury is reported.
