There have been two more changes in the

Hess has been appointed night scavenger, vice
as messenger to the Mayor and Clerk of Corpo.
ration, vice Charles L. Bowman, removed. The
complexion Of those removals looks very much

standing the contradiction in SATURDAYS Star.

tics, aud never gave him a vote.
AT about o'clock last evening, an alarm of
fire aroused our town. 1t was discovered to be
from the burning Of an old carpenter shop on

especially the new college building, which was
somewhat endangered.
