THE TABLES TuiNED.-- Qite an
amusing incident occurred not a thou
sand miles from the Market-House
at an early hour one morning during
tH e. * asBT WiesUtt entering
into partieulars with regard to the
origin of the affair, we will begin by
saying that a ~i6tfed woman was
charged by a certain well known citi
a of oar tomw lthb having stolen
from him ab9l.& ti.rt* dollars, and
the citizen aforesaid insisted upon
searching her person thoroughly in
order to recover the money. This
search (which was unsuccessful) the
woman adbMl6i tt· to*.*t no bad
grace, but when it was finished and
the citian added insult to injury by
striking her several times her patience
and good humor became exhausted,
and.slet forthwith ehifrged into th,
person of her tormentor with an
energy that astonished and upset him
completely. She slapped him, threw
him down and then kicked him, to
the great edification of the numerous
witnesies 4d the a ~e, and after
punishing him to her heart's content
without segiolel laiering him, she
walked of triumphantly, expressing
her ability to administer a like castiga
tion to any man that dared strike her.
Susan B. Anthony and the other wo
men righters should glory in the
spunk of such a female.
POLICE JuRY.--The Jury held ses
sions on Jane 30th, July 1st and 2nd,
and consideratlje buhaines of impor
tance was transacted.
At the session of the 30th, Mr. Rey
naud offered resolutions to the follow
ing effect, which were adopted: That
the late Collector be allowed until
Tuesday, July 1st, to make final set
tcment with the Parish Treasurer;
that the offices of syndics be abolished;
that the Parish Attorney be requested
to draw up a series of resolutions for
adoption by the Jury necessary to
carry out the recommendations in his
report of the 27th of June. Mr. E.
Cantey offered a resolution allowing
to members of the Jury their usual
per diem for all subsequent sessions;
carried. The report of L. E. Bentley,
Tax Collector, stating the amount of
delinquent parish taxes collected by
him, was received.
At the session of July 1st, the Par
ish Attorney presented a form of an
ordinance which he had prepared in
accordance with the request of the
Police Jury; uentitled "an ordinance
relative to the revenue of the parish,
providing the manner in which the
same shall be collected and expended,
and fixing the duties and accounta
bility of its officers, and for other pur
poses." This ordinance, which was
adopted by the Jury, is very concise
and strict in its requirements with
regard to the duty of the Tax Col
lector in receiving and collecting
funds for parish dues, tax and licenses
and turning the same over to the
Treasurer. The Collector is directed,
in giving a receipt for the payment of
parish taxes or licenses, to specify
upoathe same in what dscription of
funds the same were respectively
paid, and also the date of the pay
ment, and is required to make a
settlement with the Treasurer within
the first five days of each month for
all taxes and licenses collected during
the meth pr.ecsdisa. ThiTweasrrer
is ordered to open in his books a sep
arate account with each of the items
enumerated in the annual tableau of
expenses adopted by the Jury, and to
register all properly approved claims
against the paridsh presented to him
under the particular item to which
they resspe.tgly beloag, l Al such
registration shall balance the amount
of the aplpropriation, wle'n he mtust.

The Fair given by the St. Mary
Society for the benefit of the poor of
their organization came off Saturday
and Sunday, the 5th and 6th in
stants, and was quite a success,
financially and otherwise. Fully ap
preciating th good object in view,:
the entertainment was attended by a
number of our white citizens, who
materially assisted Ib their generous
expenditure in furthering the cause
o ,the Society. The vacant lot on
Iberville, between Leesard and St.
P$kiek streets, was used nP fain"
ground. To the right, as you entered,
was one of the bars kept by Messrs.
Andre Neptune and Cb e Randall,
