They paid five dollars each, and were requested by His Honor to keep quiet in the future. Mary Bowers works out occasionally, and always likes to be prompt to the minute in meeting her engagements. Hsving no watch by whieb to “govern herself accordingly,” she, by mistake, appropriated one that belonged to a “country nigger.” Mary said ah* didn’t, and a feller said she did. Tbe Mayor, for the moment, dispensed with his gal ton try, and actually believed the man rather than the woman. Mary paid ten dollars, and goes upon light diet for thirty days. Several negroes were charged with vagrancy, but their eases were dismissed. Gas Wsytnan wss re manded for a warrant Thomas Uoolo was charged with stealing and swindling—ease con tinued. Ed.
