A PLEASANT MISSION-In accordance with his instructions received
from the School Board, Gus Artsman, the polite, affable and brisk clerk of the
aforesaid institution, ciphered up the amounts due each individual lady teacher,
and prepared to disperse them. Dressing himself in his best coat and putting on
his "other hate" he proceeded to visit the "College on the green" and on
entering the education temple, he was met by the ladies in expectance, their
faces garnished with the sweetest of smiles for the momentous occasion.
Presenting them with an order on the City Treasurer in cash for the respective amounts due them, he received their most cordial thanks and as they most gracefully bowed him out, they expressed a hope that the period was not far removed when they would meet him again on a similar errand. Gus, while in the presence of the lovely beings, for once was divested of all his arts and appeared the man, of all men, most acceptable to the crinolines teachers of young Presidents in embryo. When he repeats his mission of love and mercy, may we be there to see.

KENTUCKY NEUTRALITY INVADED-A day or two since Captain Gus
Artsman, of the Union Home Guards, Newport, visited in company with his wife and
a lady friend, Camp Dennison. Occupying a prominent position as a military man
in Kentucky, he expected and had a right to expect, from those in authority in
the camp those marks of courtesy and respect due his rank.
He felt assured as he stepped off the cars that he was to be received as a distinguished visitor, for the band even then struck up "See the Conquering Hero Comes!" He started with his friends for Headquarters, but was soon stopped in his progress by a military looking man, who held a musket in his hand.
"What does this mean?" inquired the Captain.
"I arrest you." was the reply.
"What have I done?" asked the Kentucky visitor.
"March to the Guard house." answered the man with the musket.
"We are citizens of the great Commonwealth of Kentucky." continued our friend.
"You are my prisoner." was the answer.
"You are invading the neutrality of Kentucky," said our now indignant citizen, "and Governor Magoffin wont stand for it; and as soon as Dr. Blackburn gets home with his flintlock muskets, and Colonel Duncan has taken Washington, he will be very apt to make you repent it."
But the soldier did not seem to like the idea of Kentucky neutrality, he treated the mention of Governor Magoffin with an indifference which no true Kentuckian can pardon, and he even smiled contemptuously at the idea of flintlock muskets in this enlightened age. It was no use, to the guard house they must go, and to the guard house they started. An officer now made his appearance, who is a few words explained the matter. Our friend had failed to secure the proper pass and had been arrested by the sentinel on duty.
Captain Artsman speaks highly of the police and gentlemanly officer who came to his relief at a time when relief was so much needed; but still he was not satisfied, he has ordered a supply of good ammunition from a well known manufacturer in Bourbon County and Camp Dennison will be very likely to hear from him.

CONFLICT OF COLONELS-Colonel Lewis Thornton and Colonel Gus Artzman (sic) had a dispute on York street yesterday which resulted in Mr. Artsman being knocked down, although he was not the aggressor by any means. It seems that Mr. Thornton has purchased the interest of John Tibbatts in the Tibbatts estate.
Meeting Mr. Artzman on the street yesterday, it is alleged he accosted him and wanted to know when the estate was to be settled. Mr. Artzman replied that he made his settlement to the Court. Thornton then wound up by calling Mr. Artzman a thief and Mr. Artzman told Mr. Thornton that he was an honorable man; where upon Thornton knocked him down.
Deputy Sheriff Hutchison arrested Thornton and took him before Esquire Buchanan, who bound him over for his appearance at trial this morning.
