TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
And thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists of the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland & Jakeman-mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
You'll get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
THEY'LL charge but moderate for their labor,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

OruE11o,s OCCUPATIONS CONE

OTHELLos OCCUPATIONS GoNE.-
Justice Connolly issued an order on Tues
day morning to the policemen attached
to the Lower Police Court at the Tombs,
to keep continual watch upon the
movements of the numerous skinners and
small fry LAWYERS who. for years, have
infested the Halls Of Justice with their
loathsome presence, and not to allow
them within the walls of the court room.
Such an order has long been needed, and
we hope the good movement will go for
ward until "skinning" shall become OBJ :
solete. No doubt Justice Connolly's asso-
ciates will cooperate with him in the
good work already begun. This rule
should be rigidly enforced, and on no ac-
count should it be departed from until the
i" Augean stable" shall be thoroughly
ceansed The effect produced yesterday
by the exclusion of the skinncrs was
particularly refreshing. " l'he " tapoed"
individuals had to do what little business
they had between the massive pillars
fronting the entrance to the building,
instead of being comfortably esconsced
in their old headquarters-the court room.
Keep the ball moving, Justice Connolly.

THERE once lived in neighhoring

D., who, although man of fine
SENSE. was unfortunately addicted to in
temperance. While visiting the city If
Iawesville. famous for it's coal mines. he
was overcome by King Alcohol, and fell
into drunken sleep. The boys of the
place, fond of fun, concluded that they
would carry the Doctor into one Of the
coal mines to see what effect it would
have upon him when he awoke After
an hour or two the Doctor opened his
eyes, and seeing 50 many black-faced
men with lamps in the side of their caps,
very naturally concluded that he was in
the other world. As soon as the miners
discovered that he was awake, one of
them approached him with bottle. and
asked him to drink.
"'No, | thank you, Mr.. Devil. l
quit drinking three weeks before ] left
the other world" replied the Doctor

course of the speech of the Hon gentleman
who moved the reply to his Excellency S
address in the House Of Assembly Oh
Tuesday. This gentleman, touching upon
the subject of education, came to this
burst of oratory-"Sir, we must educate
our children" But it instantly flashed
across his mind that he was unblest with
"babbies," and he recalled himself with
-"Sir, you must educate y our chi'ircu.
But at this proposition the chairman, VINO

orator, amidst the roar of the House

CHANTIcLEER IN THE HIGH LATI-
TUBES. The author of an English work,
descriptive of visit to the Arctic re-
gions, relates the following experiences
and tragic death Of Chanticleer that
suffered from the ''one idea mania:
had observed for some days past, as
we proceeded north and the nights be-
came shorter, thbt the cock we had ship
ped at Sturnaway had become quite be-
wilelere,i on the. subject of that mcteoro-
logical phenomenon called the dawn OF
day. LII fact, doubt whether he ever
slept more than five minutes at stretch
without waking up in a state Of nervous
agitation lest it should be cock-crow.-
At last, when night ceased altogether,
his constitution could no longer stand the
shock. He crowed once or twice sarcas-
tically, then went melancholy Aad; fl
nally, taking a calenture he cackled low
ly (paobably OF green tields) and leaping
overheard he dIowned himself. The
mysterious manner in which every day
fresh member of his harenl, used to dis
appear, may have preyed upon his
spirits.
