' On Parole. Madame Turner, a keeper of a house of ill-fame, with two of her boarders, were arrested for allowing a disturbance on her premises on Sunday night. There was no proof appearing and they were placed upon parole to report when this evidence could be obtained. Thf police report this affair as closely resem bling a, riot. Fence railings, "brickbats and cluhg were scattered about in the greatest pro fusion over the street fronting the house, and yells of murder and pistol reports were heard, yet, strange to say, not one man was found en gaged in it. The peaceable citizens of the neighborhood complain bitterly of the proceed ings, but the affair is so hu abed up that nothing will ever likely be heard of it again. : Citr Provost Court.

Nine negro soldiers were sent i vct hasi)niirfr) fnr tra.nsnortation to' their rcsinients which they had left without asking any one s permission Duerters. Four negros were arraigned for desertion, one of which was sent to the city jail, being an evident case. The others are held on a supposition. Mule Stealing. Isaac Bines, a white ( man. was lodged in the city jail for mule stealing. Not a very profitable business, taking this as an example. The Ice Question Tho rule adopted by the ice dealer yesterday requiring all applicants for ice to furnish certificates from a physician that it was necessary for the sick, developed more diseases in a short time than had ever been heard of previously. All kinds were represent ed, from the old woman's aches to the gout. It is not 8uj posed that all those who applied for ice held a physicians certificate, but some faces bore such a woe-begone look on their return that any physician would have readily "prescribed for them, and asked no questions. The day was hot, dusty ana warm anu even iiquui 10 said to have lost its relish. A few days, will," it is hoped, bring in the brig expected here last week with a full cargo.
