during the past week. Seeing the demonstration,
made by Mrs. Warren & Co. to continue theil

Streets, Captain White walked into the house OF
Saturday at O'Clock, and informed the inmates
that they could have till IL O'Clock to quit thu
premises, after which three hours grace, b,
should proceed to set them and their plumber into
the street. OF course, they entirely objected Il

of Captain White, 6llibustering into their parlors

Captain W. promptly locked her in the house and
pocketed the key, and the hsartiess, souless ient
