64 1 6 1 /LL . Pin AfFRAT—A MAc EtLutn.—On
Saturday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock, a most
disgraceful and brutal fight came cent Hawes' tavern,
*Peebles township, near the Arsenal, between two

likunim. They had been in the tavern, (but they did
tau drunk.) when some old quarrel was revived
imitainsed of ; becoming too boisterous, the landlord
4misayslffiera oat. They left for the green, a short dis-
ilia.. from the house, where they had a regular "set to,"
•11rwitic' h Ryan was killed. fie fell at the second blow.
physicians were immediately called, but could
stirawt*ag. The Coroner wa is soon after on the ground,
with salary, who returned "that James Ryan carne to
hi ils.th by a blow, or blows, struck by Michael Sleigh
4* Matthias Sleigh, with his fist, inflicted on the side
Oahe neck and face, and not otherwise."
appears that Ryan was the aggressor, he having on
arm , previous opportunity, abused and insulted Sleigh,
i . ar What pause we did not learn. A warrant was
im
mediately issued for the arrest of Sleigh, but he had not
ben taken on Saturday evening.
'ANOTHER FIGHT.-A brutal fight came off on Sat
• may, in Alleghenytown, near the Acqueduct, in which
'at** the combatants bad one of his ears bitten off, and
:: 1 .1 ; in shockingly lacerated by the teeth of the brute
with
Whom he was engaged.
The Washingtonians had a meeting in the
1111arket house on Saturday night, which drew an im
-
woof audience. Joe Barker was there and addressed
.4htsin in his usual stylc. The articles which have of
late appeared in the Spirit of the Age, were brought up
discussed. Joe was particularly savage on the
editor. After he had concluded, Foster got up fur the
piiipose of defining, his position; which he did. we think,
to'the general satisfaction of the audience. After he
'had concluded his friends gave him "a round," and
the meeting adjourned in good order.
IntP The Fourier Pic Nic will come off on Wed
nesday nen. The proceedings will commence at 11
k. A large room has been secured in case it should

A RESTLESS SPIRIT
. The St. Louis Republican gives the following des
cription of a rambler:—
A man fast verging towards three-score and ten, tot
tered by us a few days since, bearing upon his should- 1,
Ars a sack containing the sum of his worldly goods, and
to judge from his exterior the contents of his sack would
be but lightly estimated for its value. His form was
bowed with age and hardship, and the habiliments in
whiel Sit was clothed, hung round him in tatters. He

pockets, which looked in its style of cut, like those

4uish its original appearance from, and rents had sad.:

patched unmentionables covered his netherextremities,

ate of Now Jersey, a man of education and intelligence,
and HOW on his way to New Orleans, under the im
leresikm that he has discovered a certain care for the
yellow.fever—it may be to sink beneath the ravages of

In 1800, he came to this place and ascended the
Mississippi river for the purpose of penetrating to its

authorities, and proceeded by way of New Orleans to
New Jersey. In 1807 he again benthis footsteps to
the West, and located in Illinois, where he resided for

his Wayback again to northern Illinois. For the past
Antis years he has been chasing the phantom riches by
digging leads in the leadmine region, hut he says his
strength has so materially failed of late, and his pov-
