LOTTERIES AND LOTTERY PoLIoHs.-The lot
terry business is again commanding the attention
of the authorities of New York. We learn from
the Journal of Commerce that Sergeant Berney,
the officer who distinguished himself by break.
ing up the bogus concerns in Connecticut and
New Hampshire, has been on tour of obseIva-
ton and consultation in those States where lot
teries are legalized under existing charters. Ihe
Journal of Commerce says:
''Some of the lotteries are conducted on gi'
gantic scale. One OF them expends about t2Vu,-
900 yearly in advertising and other expenses,
draws over 600 schemes, and issues tickets to
the amount of 5000, ,000, 900 yearly. The total
amount of the schemes published by all the lot
teries in the United States is probably not less
than $S00,000,000. The proprietors profess to
distribute all of this vast amount in prizes, but
it is supposed that not over $l0,000,00O is actu.
ally paid out. Not more than one-third OF the
whole scheme is even printed, and of that, about
one eighth is sold, on an average-making the
receipts from scheme of 5000, 900 about $lO,-
900, of which the proprietors receive fifteen per
cent. clear proft-the rest going to agents, and
to defray expenses. Many lotteries issue
scheme every day and as the profits are pretty
uniform and steady, it will be readily seen that
the business pays enormous dividends.
"There are at least four lottery schemes drawn
daily in different portions of the United States,
which are all sold in this city. The daily sales
will amount to not less than 81, 1000, of which the
managers receive probably about $500. The
prizes amount to about one quarter OF the
schemes. Dependent on the lotteries, and more
pernicious than they, is the policy business,
which reaches the magnificent dimensions OF a.
bout 10000 day. The policy tickets vary in
price from one cent to one hundred dollars, and
find customers mostly among the poor, ignorant
interpretations part of our population. With
the downfall of lotteries the policy business must
cease to exist

A Serio-Comic Scene.-Fight Between Two
st. Vitus Dancers.

Rather peculiar incident of serio-comic
character occurred, q day or two ago, at the
corner of Fifth and Plum streets, between two
unfortunates afflicted with st. Vitus' Dance
Their heads and arms by the weakness of un-
strung nerves, jerked about as strangely and as
widely as if they were in constant connexlon
with the poles of powerful battery. Their ap'
pearance was grotesque, and to one unaware
what they suffered, the effect would have been
ludicrous in the extreme. These Two persons
met. or rather one observed the other purchasing
something of a female from market wagon, and
as totally ignorant of his neighbours singular af-
fection as the other was of his; he thought of
course the fellow was mocking him. A flush
overspread his cheek as be saw the head of the
other jerk, and detected q singular sort of leer
directed as be thought, to him, and St. Vitus
No. bit his lip and was silent. Jerk, jerk,
went his head, and No. Q swore suppressed
oath at the 'sooundrel who was making game
of him." and jerk, jerk, followed his own.
No. l then walked up to No. Q, unable to sup
press his rage longer, and shook his fist under
the latter's nose. Jerk, again; jerk, jerk, jerk,
right in No. Is face, while No. took occasion
to remark that No. l was dirty dog.
Don't mock me, you villianl iii put you In
the gutter!" roared No. 1.
"Don't you mock me |" echoed No. 2, ~ know
your name, and I'll punch your head"
Here they both tried to look steady and fierce
in each others eyes; but their unfortunate heads
both flew to the same side, and their optics
blinked terribly. Human patience could not en-
dure this, and stake that" fell from the tongues
of both, as two blows were simultaneously
struck, one upon the cheek and the other upon
the forehead of the deluded victims.
As soon as the blow passed, each saw the 9TH
er still mocking, as he thought, and new ire
seized them.
"Do it again, will you9" and bang went the
fists of both upon each others crowns, and in
moment more they were in close collision fight
ing like tigers. Each time they looked up they
saw the supposed mocking, and renewed the
row with more than previous energy and deter.
mination. They finally got each other down
into the gutter, and pummeling each other mag
when some peace maker parted them,
and asked them why they were fighting.
The reason given was of course that the other
was mocking him; but as the gentleman who
had interfered knew them both, he explained
how they had been deceived.
The poor fellows could not at first believe their
own ears, and at the expense of their eyes, but
were finally convinced of their folly and their
error, and shook hands, while they jerked out
their mutual apologies as profusely as they had
heir denunciations few moments before
Enquirer.

A gentleman from New York who had been
in Boston, for the purpose of collecting some
money due him in that city, was about return
ing, when he found that one bill of hundred
dollars had been overlooked. His landlord, who
knew the debtor, thought it a doubtful case (;
but added that if it was collectable at all, tall,
rawboned Yankee, then dunning lodger in an
other part of the hall, would worry it out OF
the man. Calling him, up therefore, he intro
duced him to the creditor, who showed him the
account.
'Wal Squire said he, Saint much use O. try,

as well try to squeeze lie out Of Bunker Hill
Monument as to elect debt out Of him. But
any how, Squire, what'll you give, s'posin' ! do

well, sir, the bill is one hundred dollars, III

'Greed,' replied the collector, there's no harm

in Boston, and in walking up fremont Street,
encountered his enterprisDg friend
Look o here said he, esquire, had consid.
