SEEING A FRIEND TUROUOU.-On Friday af? ternoon a colored rann named Henry Page be? came very druuk and disorderly In King street, and was told by a policeman to desist and go home. Th drinkist, it seems, was almost "spil mg Tor a tight," and, rushing upon the ci:y ofll clal, gave him one I two I lu the face with tre? mendous effect. A reinforcement enabled the police to capture Henry, who, finding it was no use, tried the "possum" game and laid down quietly. There was no niakiug him move, and a cart wa3 quickly obtained, as a crowd was gath? ering on the street. This roused Hoary, and his handi being pinioned, he let fly with his feet with telling effect upon thejaw of a policeman. In the end they were too many, and the prisoner was conveyed tu the Guardhouse. A sympathe? tic crowd followed the vehicle and cheered the struggling unfortunate at each desperate effort he made to shake ott the police. He was duly incarcerated, aud the crowd ordered to dis? perse. Most of them took the bint, but Harry Williams, a friend of the man just immured, who had accompanied the cortege from the 6cene of the first blow to the Guardhouse, held his position and said that he knew the law, and no police dared to do anything with him. He was becom? ing disorderly from the encouragement of the crowd, when he was arrested and taken into the receptacle for public nuisauces. Aftor spending the night, the two appeared before the Mayor next morning, who did not show much sympathy with them for the wrongs they had induced, and sentenced them each to pay a One or five dollars or go to the House of Correction for five days.

GENERAL M. S. LITTLEFIELD.-Many of our citizens remember this individual in connection with various transactions which occurred In this city and State soon after the war.

The matter was reported early next morning at the Detec? tive office, and the rain, which fell carly during the night, gave Officer Daly, who had the matter lu charge, a clue to the offender.
