The task of canvassing the city for the
new directory, which will be published at
an early day, though arduous and some
what disagreeable, is not void Of merriment.
Several amusing incidents have occurred in
different portions of our city. The last we
have heard is too good to be lost. While
traversiDg the outskirts of the city, the
canvasser dropped into a small tenement
which appeared to be occupied by an Irish
family. Biddy soon made her appearance
whats your husbands manner" asked the
canvasser. "Faith an what dye want to
be after knowing my mans name for
Shure, an believe ye're the old Sheriff,
cum fur TIL collect the taxes" After
much argument, the canvasser succeeded In
getting tue Sheriff idea ont of her head, and
again enquired her husbands name. "Ah
shure, an ye're the drafter; an ye want to
draft my man in the army; you'll not get
his name, so you might as well leave "
Again the canvasser IS pu7Tledi he Is an en-
tire stranger and scarcely knows how to
convince the woman that he is not one OF
Uncle Sans "drafters." He finally sum.
mons courage enough to say 81 am canvass,
ing fora directory, and must have every,
body's name, for public reference" "a de
re,to,e What's that2" says the woman,
about to leave the room. Canvasser rises
from his seat and walks to the door, where
he:proceeds to explain what directory is,
what it is for, etc, using every fattery to
obtain the name, when Bridget exclaims
"Mike don't want his name in yo1r book;
an if he did I wouldn't let you have it,
With this remark she closes the door and
leaves the canvasser, who walks of swear
ing, "not loud but deep"

/ Another Hoe CAsE.-Peter Christie
Catholic Priest yesterday made complaint
before Aid. M'Manaway against James Ex-
ley, for alleged abuse. A hog belonging to
Exley, st appears, managed to get into
Christe's yard and turned things upside
down generally. Christie set his dogs after
the hog, and they bit one of the porker's
ears off. Exley repaired to Christe's house
and threatened to serve him worse than
the dogs had served his hog. Aid. M'Man'
away held Exley in the sum of 500 bail
for his good behavior, when the defendant
had the case taken before Aid. Robertson,
who fined him $40 and costs. A woman
who lives with Christie also made complaint
against Exley, and he was fined $40 more.

State Treasurer.

There are some Offices in the gift OF The
Legislature Of the Importance of which the
people have but an inadequate conception.
among these is that Of Treasurer of the State,
When it is understood that thousands upon
thousands Of dollars are to be looked after
that an incompetent or dishonest treasurer
may be the cause Of great loss to the State,
and consequent increased burdens to the
people already heavily taxed. This should
require Of the Legislature, the election of a
man fully competent ard whose honesty is
above suspicion Such man we confident
ly believe to be VIM. B. Hill, Esq, the pre-
sent very competent and highly respected
Secretary of State. In calling attention to
this office and naming Mr.. Hin in connection
with it, the Baltimore american, and we
cordially endorse its utterauccs, says
"Mr. Hill is eminently qualified, and
possesses claims OF superior character for
the office, but few, if any. Of those who
heartily co-operatei with the Uncondh lonal
Union men at the late election will presume
to question. His education, legal acquire
ments, present Identification with and expe-
rience Of the details Of duty, united to his
great urbanity. unqualified loyalty, and tho
rough knowledge and appreciation of the
States true policy, men and measures, pre-
sents such a case Of f'ness-the right man
in the right place-as leads us to anticipate
but little, if any opposition to bis election
when the Legislature shall have convened in
Joint session. 1t will be by the accomplish
ment of just such results-the election Of
such men as Spence aud Hill-that the new
era of Emancipation Of the great evil may
be most certainly and most auspcously in
augurated."
