named Humphries was put into the Gala
boose this evening. He is a nuisance
great big useless fraud, especially whel
he is in the lookup. He began, as sool
as put in, series of howls that woult
have done justice to a young panther
and kept them up for two solid hours. L
was not so much the whisky as it was th'
devil that allied him, and it was a pity
the police did not go in and fill his mouth
with mud, or some equally pliable sub
stance Such bowling terrorizes the
whole neighborhood 49,. Frank James
tells funny story, but a true one. His
mother had hen and eleven small chick
ems in the yard of the residence, in
jamestown. To-day calf belonging
on the place was seen playing with the

After a while the folks went to look for
the chickens, and they were gone! 1t
1t couldn't be possible that the calf had
swallowed them! Oh mol In order to
prove that a calf won't eat chickens,
some of the folks went to the coop and
got another young chicken, and held it up
before the calf, which Immediately tried

on farm, and Frank thinks of having it
study for the ministry. When you
find man who don't want to fight, don't
make him do it. 1t is always a bad plan.
Aaron Walker tried it yesterday. A man
named Richard Tolbert was upon the
street, and Aaron wanted him to fight
but he don't want him to fight any more.
Aaron made him fght-but he won't
make him fight any more. That fellow
cleaned Aaron out" too quick! Then
Mayor James bled him to the extent of
near ten dollars. No, friends, 1aeoer make
a man fight when he don't want to. ......
This evening while the police were gone
to supper, one or two drunken men made
a great noise near the doggeries about
the corner of Main and Portsmouth
streets.
SUNDAY-Between two and three
o'clock to-day there was an alarm of fire,
causing considerable excitement. The
engine was promptly gotten out, with
horses from DuHadway's. Nobody
seemed to know where the fire was, and
the driver of the hOse-reel seemed to
think it was in Portsmouth, as he went
tearing out Portsmouth street like mad.
After the excitement had somewhat
cooled down, it was discovered that the
alarm started through some one throwing
some hot ashes near a hens nest, at Mark
stable, setting the nest on
fire. We attended, to-day, the funeral
of little Maggie Jordan, dagughter of
EleaZer Jordan, who resides in
Kahn's Addition. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Hendrickson, of
the Baptist Church. A large crowd of
the friends and neighbors of the family
and a considerable number fol-
lowed the remains to the cemetery. Lit
tie Maggie was bright, pretty child,
five months and four days old at the time
Of her death, which occurred on Satur-
day. 1t was a sad bereavement to the
family, and there were few fearless wit
nesses of the grief of the parents and the
little brothers and sister of the deceased.
The taking away from loving family of
a happy child is one of the seemingly I'M
mysteries of Gods Provi-
dence, and one which the soul must wait
until after the death of the body to find
out. We can scarcely conceive of any
good thing to come out of all this sorrow
of to-day, and can only join the entire as
semblage of friends in offering our SYM
pathy to the bereaved family, and wait
ing.

a rich trial at the Mayors Office tonight.
Mrs. Ad. Buckley, formerly Colley) was
arrested for assault and battery upon
Mrs. William Salters. The parties were
all angry, and it was all His Honor could
do to keep them quiet. Some choice and
loving names had passed between the
parties, and altogether it was a lovely
family fracas. The defendant was bound
over to Court.
