FIVE CENTS AND A KIss-Some few DAYS
ago we stated that conductor upon the Sixth

male passenger, the kissee submitting to the
caress with all the naturalness of kitten in

ductor who enjoyed this saccharine privilege
we will call Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Smith having
received his fare and kissed the cherry cheek
ed passenger, CALAMITY assisted her to aight
from the vehicle. As he did this he was es.
pied by Mr.. Brown, another conductor on the
same line. Brown had brother for whom
ne wanted to obtain place, and undertook
to ''shovel down" Mr. Smith for this purpose.
Mr.. Is, then lodged complaint with the Off
GERS OF the road, aud laid back TO await results.
Mr.. Smith was accordingly brought up before
a tribunal of the directors, while Brown waa
present as prosecutor in the case. Brown
made formidable charge against Smith, and
allowed that kissing lady passengers was
something altogether outside the regulations
OF the road. smith being put upon his de.
fence brought in the kissee, a very pretty
young lady, whom he hadn't seen before for
some years, at least, and who happened to be
his own sister The tribunal, at this expos.

at once, and then discharged Brown for his

THIRD CoNCERT-Fiske's Cornet Band give
their third concert, this evening, at Mechanics

mind, that the expenses are very great the price
of admission very low, and there are many to
share in the profits, if there should be any. So
that Hall full will be none too many, to fully
recompense them for their services. This even
