was taken up in the street, brought to the liosp-
tai by Stranger, and died without b.ng recog-

Of death.

half past p NJ, in the basement OF the house
No. 40 Carmne street. 1t originated in the elAp-
tyings OF a straw bed, which had been put into

from it. The aforesaid pond is nothing but
shining mass, which emits most villainous
smell. We saw yesterday half dozen lame
ducks, searching in vain for water. Why is not
this beautiful fountain allowed to play?
INDIAN CLAM BAKE.-Our readers will perceive
by an advertisement in another column, that
great Indian clam bake will come off Tomorrow

A VOLUNTEER FOR MExIco.-A man named
Daniel Dimon was brought to the 18th ward sta
ton house on Monday night, charged with drunk
eness, disorderly conduct, and endangerng the
lives Of the citizens. II appears that Daniel had
become fred with patriotic ardor by the brilliant
news which came great while ago from Mexico,
and determined to 20 himself and become distin-
guished. if he could, in his countrys service. He
accordingly procured a rusty musket, in which
Al old broken-ponted bayonet was still rernaiu-
ing, and started into the street for the purpose OF
gong through the manual exercise himself, aud
drilling such persons as should see fit to enlist
under him. Arriving at porter-house in the
ward, Daniel "imbibed" brandy smasher, and,
then, valiant as Falstatf, took his stand upon
The side walk. "Feler citizens" said Daniel,
"we are not goin' to be bamboozled by these,
Mexicans any longer-we is going to fight 'em on
their own ground, and make 'eln pay us in their
best whskey and segars Tention COMPANY
Now it happened that there was no " company"
present, with the exception of a few gaping boys
and negroes, and a crowd looking Out from tho
porter-house door. But certain indistinctness
OF vision seemed TO affect Daniel so that he ap-
peared fully TO believe that he was drilling COM
panny.
'Tention Order arms! Down went his mus.

however, but in such one Ms to please the boys
exceedingly. Garry arns!' In attempting to
perform thus part Of the manual, Daniel dropped
his gun, which, alter making sundry Intellectual
attempts to recover, was picked up by one of
the boys and handed to him. Present arms

TO the letter; and probably. in his patriotic ardor,
imaylning he was on the field OF Palo Alto, made
a rush upon two gentlemen Jassing by, who ser
ously Directing 10 the charge, had Daniel arrested.
He was taken TO the Station House, where his pa
trotsrn was allowed to cool.

CATHARINE SrREhT-A correspondent calls our
attention TO the state in which this street is kept
he says 1t is a narrow, confined street, although
great ihoroughfare, one end of il opening on the
wharves and the other on Chatham square and
East Broadway; he further says that the side
walks, and Ill some places the middle Of the
streets, are clicked up with every description Of
lumber and merchandise, such as new and old
furniture, flour and sugar barrels, hams, tea
chests, crockefy, cases of cotton goods, and in
short, every thing from a china orange up To mo-
lasses hogsheads, to be- found in Beautiful con-
fusion, >trewn about on The side walks from one
end OF II to the other; and he adds that il is al.
most impossible for persons having business in
the street 10 get ngress and egress to aud from IT,
but hat they are III danger OF having their limbs
broken Ivy the upsetring Of some of those
sugar or flour casks, from the loose and unyany
way IN which they are piled up. We do not know
whether this is 80 or not, bur if our correspond.
