Mavon's Court.—His Honor was in a higher tribunal yesterday morning, pleading mercy for one of his wayward lambs. His motto is: "Butter that nine ty-nine guilty should go unpunished than that one innooent should suffer." In thia emergency, Lowry waa dele gated. His motto is: "Equity and Jus tice; devil take tho law." CHARLES AUSTIN, the celebrated gorilla-negro, was accused of being a fooL This 'negro ia an eyo- sore to Lowry, aud a pest to the city. It is sn exception to his usual deportment if he is over found behaving himself. Lowry—thauks to his ingenuity—gave him two alternatives—thirty days iu tho oalabooae, or "transportation for life. He eagerly seized the latter. 1’iobably Darwin will gobble him np to establish his astounding theory of progressive de velopment, when be Will, doubtless, be transformed into an angel with "wings of the sable night ’’ > CLARENCE HARRINGTON waa a sable representative of Clarke Uni versity. In the heat of a quadrille some rival questioned bia gallantry, when ho ptoceodod to vindioato his character liy drawing a knife, and Lowry exalted tho oity'a credit by drawing $6 from tho pone of Clarenoe. WILLIAM WIOTELT, we have reason to believe, was tho spec- Ure of Rusty Sniffle. Scarcity of block, berries hod reduced him to e shadow.— In thia sod perplexity he resorted to phi losophising for a livelihood. Hera is a specimen of his improvisation while lying on his back in a moist gutter, contem plating the celestial vault: **I NW. sgad. I m« th* Devil ▲ •oarin' through tbe elr; By Jove I be bu old Bollock swingin' And danglin' by Ike bar. And Blodgett, he comtesloppl*’ uter— ▲ vulture on tbe wing— And glutted with hie apoUs from Georgia, bkededdlee to hie king.” Lowry admired the spirit moro than the poetry of that apostrophe, and charged $5 for poetio lioenae. MR. IAMBS O’NEAL, a gcntlemu of African scent,, paid $2 far a pair of old boota ud >10 for tempting to raoover his money, Lowry thought it a better investment to buy new boots, ud—pronounced the bene diction.
