VALENTINES DAY.-To- morrow is St.
Valentines day. The Valentine trade. We
understand. has been tolerably fair. and
large portion of the rising generation will
pitch in" promiscuously. The custom,
however. Of sending valentines. has become
80 mixed up with malicious and ridiculous
productions. that it is constantly going into
bad repute.
Our friend Mast and his assistants, will
find plenty to do tomorrow.

FERRY BoAT.-One year ago to-day
the Ferry boat was making regular trips

CANT SEE THE PoINT.-We can't
exactly see. why Ross. the lecturer on Pixies
Peak, made such botch in his "sell" on
Friday night. After the fellow had paid his
printing expenses, he WAS not sharp enough
even to get that money back He only got
dollar or two at the door, previous to
leaving. Perhaps his conscience smote him.
We hope he will live long enough to explain
his conduct in the case.

and pointed to room in the rear, where,
on entering. the officer found mulatto girl
in the act Of jumping out of the window
upon the shed. The girl was secured, and
proved to be Anna Maria Cajay. daughter
Of Lydia Bosley. who was the person in.
jured.
The daughter, on being questioned, con.
f.seed having attempted the l.fs Of Ter
mother, her object being to get possession
of &66 which she knew the mother carried
about her pers..n. She said that she had
been instigated to commit the deed by Q
colored man named Elijsh Martin, with
whom she had been s,eslthily living for
some time past - his mistress.
He had often tried to induce her to kill
her mother. take her money, and then 20
out of the city and live with him % his
wife, though she already had husband

LAST HIT OF THE SEAsON.-Yc ester

merchant on Brady street,-was enjoying .
pleasant sleigh ride, and while in the coun-
try, about six miles from town, for some un-
explained reason, took out young colt,
which was evidently not broke to cutter.
and while handling the same. it premature

Just above the haunch. Whether this wa
intended as a new means of increasing loco
motive speed, our informant does not state )
at all events We should call 1t rather severe
"persuading." The horse was driven into
town, and the medical assistance Of DR. Nc
Donnell called in, who found that the bullet
had penetrated the flesh about fourteen
inches. Our sympathies are with the horse,
and we hope the noble animal will soon re-
cover. After this remarkable display of
skill la Flying Artillery. no one can, for an
slant, doubt this gentleman's consumate
ability in the use of fire arms.
