OUTRAGE.
During a concert one night, a reckless individual, in
the upper gallery of the large hall in which it was held,
whose name we did not ascertain, allowed his bill of the
concert to slip through his fingers, which, falling below,
by the rule of gravitation, fell suddenly upon the exposed
head of one of our first young men! The effect of the
concussion upon an object so tender may be well imagined.
Smelling-bottles were called for, and, none being
at hand, one young lady applied her glove to the sufferer's
nose, which, having been lately cleansed with
turpentine, had the effect of bringing him to. The
diabolical perpetrator of the act had the audacity to look
over the edge of the gallery and grin at the injury he
had done, but, before the officer could get to the gallery
and arrest him, he had flown.
P. S. — We wish it to be distinctly understood that it
was the glove, and not the nose, that had been cleaned
with the turpentine.
