POLICEMEN'S PICNIC.
Convivial Cusses Collared bv
Cops and Confined in
the City Cooler.

Yesterday was a gloomy and disagree
able day, but not an exceedingly cold one,
although a number OF gertlemen(?l re-
marked, during the morning hours, that it
would be cold day when any id po-
licemen arrested Them" A humber OF
these loud-mOuthed citizens will have their
names enrolled on the recorders docket to-
morrow morning.
The cooler was filled to OVERLOOKING at 6
o'clock last evening, and the drunken in
mates attracted the attention of every one
In the vicinity by their COmanche-like
yells- Officer Gosssge entered the prison
for the purpose of guieting the rabble and
found two of the inmates of cell No. 3,
Amos Moss, bad niger, and bibulous
son of Erin, engaged, "tooth and toe-nail, !"
In frst-class scrapping match. The white
man exhibited badly disfgured proboscis
and said that he had been knocked down
by a dirty haste of q nagur." The
"nagur" was hapdcuffed and chained up
to the grating In cell No. 4. in which posi-
ton ne remained about an hour. In the
meantime other prisoners were placed in
the cell, one OF whom the pugilistic coon
assaulted as soon as his hands were re-
leased. Moss was arrested yesterday after
loon for drunkenness and disturbing the
peace. He created a temporary reign of
terror in the vicinity of Lincolnville,
threatening to exterminate anyone who in
terfered with him and tearing down several
sections of fence.
WILD WITH WHISKY
A young man, who has hitherto
borne the character of peace
able and law abiding citizen, got
his hide full of red liquor and attempted
to take possession of a saloon. He was
demonstrated with by the saloon keeper,
who endeavored TO induce him to leave
the place quietly, but the pugilistically
inclined youth threatened to cut the heart
out of any one who interiered with him,
and it became necessary to deposit him on
the sidewalk with considerable furce sew
ersl times before he could be induced to
leave, even then he was so wild and woody
that an officer was compelled to arrest him.
Friends gave bond for the young mans
appearance to morrow morning, and it is
TO be hoped that when he becomes duly
sober, he will firmly resolve to reform.
Out of consideration for his family his
name is suppressed.
