FLAG STATS AND FLAGs.-Attenion has beea more

City by the late fatal accident, caused by the fall Of
flag pole from WalIack's Theste-. 1t ia well known
that displaying these fsgs and banners across the
streets is prohibited by municipal ordinances why the
prohibition is 50 glarDgy diregarded the police are

intelligent and studous community.
Every one who passes through the upper part our
city must have noticed the large isolated house at the
corner of Nineteenth street and Broadway. There is
a large space of vacant ground around it, covered
with rich sward, and here are always more or less
