VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILD RE N The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that circumstance. It is impossible oven to purchase on whole sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want of room for stowage, every inch of available space being occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children, but no more can be admitted in the present building. £B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished for and urgent scheme.

Mr. iVatsonville, noted as a practical joker, was asked by a lady iu the stage coach from Gilroy Hot Springs to San Francisco to take her inside seat and give her the outside, as she felt unwell. The lady had made herself obnoxious at the Springs, and as she passed the practical joker she directed him to take care of the two bottles of mineral water she had left on the seat which she was carrying to her husband. The practical joker's first act was to open each, pour out half, and fill up with whisky, and we leave the husband to tell the result : "San Francisco, Aug. 30, 1869 'Proprietors Hot springs.—Sirs,—You are a precious set of - scamps, you are! My wife, Mrs. —, paid a visit to your confounded place and brought back some spring water.' I drank about a bottle of the miserable stuff and went to the Goad Templars, and hadn't been in the ball more than fifteen minutes bofore I was as drunk as any man you ever saw; disgracid myself and the lodge, and this morning I sin on a sick bed. My impression is that any set of men who will run an institution of this kind ought to be soused into hot water springs until life was extinct.—l am, sirs, with contempt, —.” The lightning trains now making such fast time between New York and Chicago render the drivers cautious, as the following incident will show. As the engineer on his way from Indianapolis reflected on the manner he had been lately treated by Jim Fisk, and the starvation to his family that would follow a smash, he raised his tear-dimmed eye and beheld right before him, and bearing down straight upon him, the headlight of a locomotive ! Quicker than lightning he whistled the breaks down and reversed his engine, and when the speed of his train was checked sufficiently, he sent his fireman off in hot haste to flag the approaching train. By this time the passengers were all out in the woods, and the conductor was at the side of the frantic engineer, when the following conversation occurred : —" Con ductor (furious) : What the deuce did you stop the train for ?" Engineer (breathless) : " Collision, sir. 'Don't you see that locomotive ?" Conductor (red Lot) : " No, sir, I tee the moon, you blamed fool." In less than two minutes the train was thun dering ahead at the rate of forty miles an hour.— A butcher, whose meat had often been stolen by a large dog, went to lawyer Tappan and asked hi - Ca what to do under the circumstances. " Sue the owner and recover the price," was the prompt answer. "Ah !" exclaimed the butcher, exultingly, "It was your dog, Mr. Tappan." "My dog, was it ?" said the unabashed Tappan, " what was the value of the beef ?" "Three dollars," was theanswer. "Very well," said Mr.'l appeal, pulling out the green backs and handing them over; but the smiling butcher had not closed the office door ere the same hand was again stretched out. " I charge you $5 for a consultation."—An enterprising coloured man of Trenton, New Jersey, devised a petition to the Common Council of that city, asking for an enlarge ment of the school-house for coloured children.

The petition commences, " We, the parents of the coloured children !"—A coloured boy, who may be seen any day, with a basket of edibles on his arm, entered an office on Wall-street, w i. h his usual exclamation of " Cakes, pies, and sand wiches"--when the following colloquy between the proprietor and the darkey ensued : " Ah, Fain, how is the pie-trade to- d iy ?" " Well, Massa, it ain't so gotd now, since the gold excite ment." " Why, what has the gold excitement to do with the pie business, I should like to know ?" " Oh, you see, Sir, I used to sell a great many pies to the brokers, all along Broad-street, and now it 'pears like they hadn't got no appetite."--A quaint fellow, well-known in the White Mountains, named Peter limes, foralerly " leading whip" on the Mereeith route, thus "sold" aparty of eager listeners after an attempt to bag some nice partridge for ex pected guests. " Gentlemen," he said to the throng aroundov hen he had got something to drinkand time to cool from his excitement, " I only tell you the solemn truth, and you can believe me or not as you please. I went to the woods, tramped over the best partridge ground, climbed half way up Red Hill, and poked around until well nigh sundown, without seeing the blessed thing worth shooting. Finally, I started for home with an empty game-bag. I'd got down to the old lodging by the brook, and as I was turn ing down by the bank 1 happened to cast my eyes upon a little cluirp of white maples that just grew over the brook. You know where they are ? Well, the fancy struck me that I'd fire into the thicket. I didn't really think there was anything there, but I wanted to tinpty my gun, and I thought I might as well make a shot as not. So I set both hammers, and took aim right straight at the middle of the clump, where the leaves were the thickest. If any body had told me there was game in there for me I wouldn't have believed 'em. I didn't expect it. But I let drive—fired both barrels at once—and I heard the shot crash through the thickly patched boughs. Over the brook I jumped, and went to the maples. Goodness gracious! You won't be we will. What was it ?" And l t i h e e ve ex m ci e te ? d " , ea " g Ys' er e multitude pressed nearer. " What did you shoot, Peter ? What did you find?" " Just as I bad expected," replied Peter, edging towards the door. "I didn't believe there was anything there, and—there wasn't !" Au Irishman recently stopped at a hotel Des Moines, lowa, where pretty high bills were charged. In the morning the landlord made out the amount of damages, and presented it to the guest.

"Of course not, my love, but I was not aware who your partner was."—Our pleasant contemporary, the Evening .31ail, says the lately amalgamated New York Citizen, inquires why the Citizen-Round-Table, as it calls our paper, does not drop the last three—we suppose it means two—sec tions of the name. To drop these would leave us poor in deed—as bare as Miss Olive Logan's victims of the nude drama—and we only keep the two latter subdivisions out of regard for the love which the good people have for set tled things.
