UP FROM THE MOUNTAIN.
Tho Tough Lot OF Darkeys Who Are Attsndin
Court,

The Tough Lot OF Darkeys Who Are Attending
Court.
Quite a number of cases from the Welsh
Mountain have already been tried this week,
and before Saturday number of well-known
residents of that locality will be inspecting
the defective old prison. About the hardest
looking crowd of darkeys that have ever a.
tended a quarter sessions court are here this
week. The majority of these, with few
whites, who are but little better, come from
the mountain. Most of these people are
witnesses on one or another side of
cases, and If they are not they come to town
just the same. They seem to think the courts
cannot be run without them and they come
in early on Monday morning, remaining
through the week. Where these people
sleep and eat it is very difficult to tell, but
they can nearly always be found hanging
around the court house steps, especially il the
sun is shining Some Of them sleep at the
almshouse, and every morning at an
early hour they can be seen coming down
East King street. Last night 1t seemed that
the coons encamped on the court house steps,
as they were there until a late hour. Mingling
with those from the mountainwasa sprinkli
of bad Lancaster dsrkeys and some very
tough whites. The majority of the crowd were
drunk and they made things very lively.
Several had harmonicas on which they played
while others danced. Two mountain females
seemed to be very popular with the gallant
mokes and all wanted them at one time this
nearly raised a row. During the evening one
wench tumbled down the big stone steps and
broke an arm, but this did not disturb the
others. Last nights crowd was a nuisance.
Vhe pavement was full of darkeys until mid
night, and the moons bright rays had no
show among the black spots on the steps. II
the county authorities think this is iii place
for such crowd to bunk" they should see
