CITY INTELLIGENCE.

expression IN reference to a recent transaction
between one of the candidates for the uttics of
sheriff of this city and some of the sovereign
people, we do not wish to be understood as at
tackLg the motives of the candidate, but SIM
ply TO refer TO 4 fact which gave rise to some
merriment among those who were aware Of the
Joke. 1t was this: the candidate (and they are
numerous) while in the neighborhood OF the
Pfatt st. depot, was introduced to some half
dozen persons, who were together, and thinking
perhaps it was fair chance to solicit their ia
vors, asked them to Join him in glass which
was accepted. While drinking, he announced
to them that he was a candidate for sheriff, and
one of the company, turning to his friend, said
81 never heard of that name in our county be-
fore"-alluding to Carroll county, for they be-
longed to that region Il fact, the revelation of
which threw cold water, no doubt, over the ar
dent aspirations of the candidate. We bid him
good cheer.

lister, Esq, had his pocket picked on Thursday

found Yesterday morning, inside of the alley
gate of Mr.. McAllister's house, with all its

A Strange Customer. We learn, says the
Argus that Mr.. VIM. Calender, a gentleman
residing in Aisquith street, having several
ducks and chickens killed, by having their
throa,s cut, supposed it was done by rats, and
accordingly set wire and a gum trap, in order
to catch them. Next morning, he found what
ever 1t was, had been in the wire trap and bro
ken out, and had gone into the rum trap,
where he was snug enough. Taking the trap
and rat, as he supposed, together with favorite
terrier dog into room, anticipating some rare
sport, he opened the trap, and out sprang(n a
rat but a strange animal of the color some
folks ascrbe to his Satanic majesty, and
"most beautiful fight commenced. The man
and dog were SOON convinced that they were
no match for the stranger, and laying aside
physical power, they had recourse to stratagem,
and finally captured the ntruder-which, with
out applying to the Natural Historical! Society,
they discovered to be "mink."
