ReA- We are told by a Cincinnati paper that
married man, whose habits are not very
regular, one evening last week, while walking
in the streets, encountered 4 lady whose walk
and actions encouraged him to address her. He
was pleased at the impression he made, and
forthwith offered her his arm to escort her home,
which she accepted. After leading him around
several squares, she finally brought him up to

The New Cry CouNcIL.-We looked in
for the first time on Monday evening upon
our new city council, and foun them earn
estly discussing the affairs Of our munich
pality, with, we thought, disposition to adj
vance and promote the public good. This
council is composed of able and experienced
men, who can be relied upon to do their
duty, and straighten out things if they are
sustained by the citizens. The difficulty
heretofore encountered by the city govern
ment, has been the non-payment of taxes,
and hence the want Of means 20 sustain an d
carry out any plans for the public good
We regarded as favorable indication the
suggestion to ascertain the financial condi-
ton of the city, AM collect the revenue, pre-.
liminary to spending the same. Agood dea
of trouble and embarrassment would be saved
both to individuals and corporations, if the
rule was adopted and adhered to, to &c
money before spending it. 1t strikes III
that this rule has not been very infexibly
adhered to in the past management Of tn,
affairs of the city Of Ottumwa.
