, A party of eight or ten men, bailing from
Pioneer, cuue dawn the Creek, yesterday
afternoon, on a flat boat. Being pretty full
of Pioueer ''benzine," they ran their boat
against one of the piers of the Boyd fjtrm
bridge, upsetting the boat and throwing
them Into tbe water, giving .them a nice
ool batb. After gettfng out of tbe water
and probably feeling rather low-ppirlted I'aey
turned in a vast qnan'.lty of Petroleum Cen
tre '-blue ruin. The mixture did not ap
pear to agree with them, aod they grew ex
ceedingly noisy and quarrelcomo, to tbe
intense disgust of the peaceably disposed
porliun of i -immunity, the csnsrqueiice be
lag that eflicer UcHu-h arretted four of
' them and lodged them in tie lock-up. This
morning information was made gitut them
for disorderly conduct, and they will prnU
ably bate an opportunity of loaning the
couuty m sum of money as a surety for their
future good behavior. '
N. B. They were lined $9,09 each and
Costa of suit for their fun.

A part of the gate money might probably

Ttev. J. T. Oxtotiy preached bis farewell
sermon, at the Presbyterian Church, last
evening, to a targe osmljlajoof people.
He gave a brief history of bis connection
with tbe church and society, and truited
that much good bad been done, in conclu
sion bidding them al an affectionate fare
well. Tbe sermon was au ablo one, ond
was listened to throughout Willi particular
intention. Tbe many friends ol Mr. O.
will be pleased to learn that it m bis inten
tion to visit tbe place occasionally for the
purpose of preaching. He. will always be
welcome.
The F'ret Press says: Uniting lime has
