EcoNoMY.-In times like the present.
when uncertainty is stamped on everything
in the future, it behooves all classes to
economize and make dollar 60 as far as
possible. The constant advance in the price
of merchandise now reminds us of the old
maxim of Franklin's time: "a penny saved
is a penny earned" Buy your goods where
you can buy them the cheapest and to the
best advantage, is principle which gov
erns all sound men, and when not adhered
to generally tends to the disadvantage of
the buyer. The great bankrupt sale, N.
w. cor. of High and Gay streets, is the
place above all others to buy boots and
shoes, as they sell from 25 to 30 per cent.
cheaper than any other house in the city.
Strive, then, to call while the sale lasts. 2t

POLICE CoURr.-Twenty-four cases were
disposed Of by Mayor Thomas yesterday
morning before nine o'clock. Reuben III
tus, T.. Gregory, II. Wilson, @. Thompson,
E. Files and John Williams, were each
fined s. for disorderly conduct In the street.
Several old habitues received their weekly
allowance of imprisonment and fines, which
as usual they could not pay.
A round. dozen of women of ill-fame,
captured the night before in q row at
two different houses, were arraigncd
upon the usual charge. Old Mrs. Abra-
ham, alias Kindred, charged with keeping
a house of assignation and ill-fame, was
fined Sl5 and sent to the city prison. She
made dreadful ado about the summary
manner in which her case was disposed of,
but received little sympathy, and It re-
quired but little evidence to prove the
charge, Abraham being an old offender
Matilda Berry, another specimen of the
same character, was fined 81 and sent be-
low. Hetty Grey, young girl recently
arrived in Columbus, and captured in the
same party, was discharged on account Of
the difficulty of proving the charge against
her, and because of her comparative inno-
cence. Elizabeth Denny, Alice Wilson,
Catherine Johnson, Sarah Baldwin, Mary Oh
liver, Mary Lucas,J Jenny Oliver and Jane Lee,
were each fined five dollars and committed d
as women of the town. A gang of youn
and dissolute men were arrested In the crib
of these females, and were suffered to
depart upon payment Of fine, and with
an admonition to beware of the second Of
fense of the kind. The landlord who rent
ed the tenement to the women was also
arrested on the premises, he alleging that
he was there guarding the property. He
was also mulcted in a small fine, and adj
yised to get better tenants or nail up his
