Dabino Theft. Mr. Samuel Vick ery was awakened about half-past six o'clock yesterday morning by hearing an intruder at the cellar door of his residence, corner of. Eleventh and Walnut Streets, w"jen he arose, and. taking a revolver, went to interview the visitor. As soon as the intruder heard preparations for his reception ho retreated, followed by a couple of shots from Mr. Viokery'a revolver, In his flight the thief dropped a roll of butter and a bottle of blaokberry wine, but Mr. Vickery does not know, and the thief probably will not tell. whether he picked up a bullet or not, Took it out of his JFJide. Cred itors have frequently threatened to take their dues out of delinquent debtors' hides, but the first instance within the knowledge of the writer where such a feat was ever attempted wa3 on Saturday afternoon, when "knight of the mallet" demanded pay ment of a debt for money borrowed over a year ago, -just lor a lew min utes." Tho debtor replied insolently and was answered in kind, when "Professor Ooiagono" suddenly ceased to restrain hi'- right hand and the debtor s upper lip being on its "track," a collision was the result. The collision cost the Professor $4 75 and tho debtor a swoolen lip and bloody nose. The German Bazaar. Saturday night was the harvest of the patriotic ladies of the German Bazaar, for the attendanci was large, and the liberal ity displayed by visitors all that could be expected. Tha drawing of prizes was the prin cipal feature of the evening in the main hall, while dancing was the grand feature in the upper room. The drawing of prizes was not fin ished on Saturday evening, and will he continued to-night, when the re mainder of the unsold goods will be disposed of at auction. No doubt people can then serve the double pur pose of buying cheap goods and con tributing to the cause of humanity at the samo time. The dancing in the upper room will be continued as on other evenings. ' The Courts. There were no trials in the Crim inal Court yesterday.

Whitthaey pleaded guilty to a charge of assault anl battery, and was fined H 30, tu wnn 1U WHOO. An r5Itr on III MhscIp. About noon on Saturday, people en Third Street, near Main, were enter tained by the somewhat amusing eight of tho " editor-in-chief" of tho Courier attempting to whip Captain Hargrave, Prosecutiig Attorney of the Criminal Court. Captain Hargrave, in company with Judge Buttcrficld, was walking along Third Street, when Whittlesey, who was on the opposite side, crossed over and demanded an explanation of liar grave's card in Saturday's Journal. Capt. Hargravo answered that the lan guage was plain, that any maa of or dinary understanding could ado what ho meant, and needed no eipla nation. Whittlesey then demanded that Captain Hargrave should apologize for -the offensive language in the card. Captain Hargrave an swered that, until the Courier apolo gized for editorials in that paper abusive of him, he had no apologies to make, and asked Whittlesey if he was not tho author of an article in that p:per charging him with dis honesty, to whioh question Whit tlesey would give no answer but abuse, and ended by striking wickedly at him. The blow was warded off, and returned on the editorial paunch, driving it back a few feet, and the Captain, stepping back, picked up a half briok, and was about to lend an additional bat to the alreaJy well freighted editorial fiat, when Judge Batterfield stepped between r,hem, and another person caught Captain Hargrave, thus putting an end to the fight. A little later Charles II. Mann, the bosom friend of Whittlesey, filed an affidavit before Justice Walker, oharging Whittlesey with having, "in a rude, insolent and unlawful man ner," assaulted Captain Hart ray 9, and at five o'clock in the evenicg, Whit tlesey appeared before the Justice and pleaded guilty. Judge Batterfield having been summoned to appear, tes tified to the striking, and a fine of one dollar and costs was imposed; Cap tain Hargrave, who had also been summoned, declining to prosecu te. In yesterday's Courier the editor devotes about a column of editorial to the subject, and in so doing, says: 'We have no occasion to quarrel with Capt. Hargrave," and concludes by returning the very epithet that ex cited his own ire and provoked the assault. Oa the fourth page of the Courier, where tht writings of the "editor in chief are tvpposed not to appear, there is what purports to be an ac count of the affair in which tho local writer differs with the editor as to the existence of an occasion for a quarrel with the Captain. The Demokrat'g account of the af fair is that Whittlesey met Captain Hargrave, while the Courier says he crossed the street on purpose to de mand an explanation. The Democrat further says that Captain Hargrave filed tho complaint, while the faet is, the Captain never in tended to prosecute his assailant, the complaint having probably been filed at Whittlesey's own request to fore stall all the justice he feared. The sensitiveness manifested by Whittlesey is something surprising when it is considered that the paper of which ho is "editor in chief ' con stantly ovet flows with the vilest of abuse against men in private as well as public life, articles appearing very frequently in that paper that seem to indicate that one reporter is especial ly detailed to play Paul Pry upon the indiscrete aots of young men, imitat ing in this regard, the examples of thoso anonymous sheets, the publica tion or circulation of which Li for bidden and punished by the police regulations of most cities.

The carriers of the Journal are requested to meet at tho Journal Office at seven o'clock this evening, to arrange for the Annual Address. There is a piece of water pipe lying across the footway at the crossing of Second btreet on Locust that, during the darkness of Saturday and Sunday nights, served to trip half a soore of people who groped past the spot. Water Works. The formal breaking of ground for the well at the Water Works took place on Saturday afternoon. The first section of the iron curb, which contains the pumping floor, having been completed, was lowered to tho ground from the blocking on whioh it rested, and the work of excavating commenced, a number of citizens and members of the Common Council being present by invitation, and par ticipating in the exercise?. The curb, of which a description was given in the Journal some time since, has even a more massive look when, fin isnea, man would nave been antici pated while it was being made. The work of excavating once com menced, will prooeed without cessa tion, night or day, until the well is finished, relays of men being pro vided to work during alternate watches. At the conclusion of the cercmonv of ground breaking the breaking of cnampagne bottles commenoed, and proceeded with much spirit until the spirits of tho party rose vihibly. Dr. Cashing, of tho firm of Wm. C. Wier & Co., who gives his personal at tention to the work, pronounoca the iron work of Messrs. lleitz & Haney superior to that of the Covington Water Works, which he also super intended the erection of, the work hero having received the close and constant attention of both Messrs. Reitz and Haney, who were among those present at the ground breaking. As the well in exoayated, of eouis the curb siDks, and section after section will be added until it has attained tho derth of sixty-fivo feet. The erection of the Water Works building will be prosecuted with en ergy, and tho whole work will prob ably be completed m February, as specified in the contract. HAHBIEV.

Saturday evening, very gently at first but gradually increasing until it grew quite heavy, and continued all night and all day with but slight abatement, and during the afternoon it came down in torrents, causing tho Ulg Bcwcri to yviAi tuiiu uyua v. water. The rain seems to have been general, extending from New Orleans and St. Louis to Pittsburg, and we may expect the river to rise again at once, ine river nere was enguiijr i declining yesterday, but we presume the decline will ba checkeu by the heavy rains that prevailed during the past 24 hours. The temperature was quite mild yesterday, but the wind shifted into the east last night, and it was gradually growing colder.

Dexter arrived by the Qiickstep, and has again re sumed command. He i3 highly pleased with his new purchase, the Arkansas Belle, which will leave Memphis this evening and will take her place in tho Cairo trade on Fri day.

Woolfolk, the distinguished Superintendent of the Louisville & Henderson Mail Packet Company, who is on one of his semi occasional visits to this region The Ouachita Belle arrived about G o'clock last evening, en route to New Orleans and Ouachita River. She is one of tho handsomest boats that has passed down this season. We pub lished her dimensions a few days ago. Her cabin is exceedingly beautiful.

Lee The Commercial arrived about o'clock last evening with nearly 900 bales cotton and numerous people She leaves positively at 5 p.m. to-day on her return to Memphis.
