'dentlemen, allow me to introduce to
You Daniel 1. Woodward, who, on the Cd
OF September next, is to be hung by the
neck until he is dead dead dead -
M. Hester-This morning Justices
Goddard and Dom called upon Mr.. Hes
ter at his room, and took his testimony
relating to the affair On Wednesday last.
Nothing new was elected, except that he
thinks he requested the first person that
entered the room to remove his panta-
looms. We are informed that the time
to Judge with any degree of certainty the
chances for his recovery has not yet ar
rived.
Criminal Court. This morning Mr..
Scriyener, the juror who was sick yester-
day, having recovered sufficiently, the
trial Of VIM. B. Sasscer was resumed.
The witnesses for the prosecution having
been examined, Mr.. Radcliffe is opening
tor the defence, stating what he expects
to prove by the witnesses to be examined.
The courtroom is as crowded as usual
during the trial of murder cases.
A Correctlon.-In the police report of
the 18th inst, it was stated that &c
anderwerken was running two omni-
busses without numbers, and two with
false numbers" 1t was no wish of ours
to misstate the case, and very readily COR
rect it on the authority of Mr.. Y. He
INT hot Of, IL L
down, and its place, for short time, has
to be taken by one of the old ones, and
that the number is knocked off without
his knowledge. Mr. Y. certainly deserves
praise instead of censure for the accom-
mediation afforded by his coaches. He is
now running one to the depot, and is
about to establish line out 7th street.
Anonymous letters and Capt. Birch
We have been requested by the Captain
of the Auxiliary Guard to say that if the
writer's of certain letters he has received
will send their names, they will be kept
perfectly secret, and the matters referred
TO carefully attended to. Without con-
sulting the writers it is almost impossi-
bic for him to act with any certainty of
success. Information should always be
given in such a manner that it can be
acted upon surely and safely.
FIRE Signals.-A proposition has been
made to the Perseverance Fire Company
by Captain Birch, to allow him to use
their bell to inform his men and the
citizens generally the position of fires
that occur in the city. This is good
idea, and we are happy to learn meets
with the approval Of a majority of the
members Of that company, and it is likely
the signals will be given.
Orgau-ation.-A congregation of about
thirty met together on Tuesday night, on
the Island, and organized PRESBYTERIAN
60. S. Church, by the election of Isaac
IL. Wales and John X. Woods as elders,
and E. w. Clark and Edward Lycctt, as
deacons. Rev. J. NJ. Henry is the pastor.
A church edifice, capable of seating four
hundred persons, is now being erected.
Vegetable Stnads.-lt is stated, officially,
that the Vegetable Stands in the several
market houses will be sold on the follow
ing days, commencing at 9 O'clock, a. m =,
viz: In the Centre Market on Saturday,

tees, on Tuesday, elected James Carlisle,
