EVENING NEWS.

Hill, has resigned his office OF SonS'ao'e'
The County Commissioners having the aP-
pointing power, the matter OF hIlinS tue Va
cancy came up yesterday at a special meeting
of the Board. Present.. J. Denny, u. h.
Grim, Martin White, Commissioners; and
Lucien Hermann, Clerk. Petitions in. iIvor
of J. V. A. Lansing, Z: w. Humph eys,
samuel HYATT, and J. T. Keeper, for said
ONCE, were presented, read, and ordered on
ME in the Clerks Office; as also a protest,
signed by Buekminster and others, against
Inc appointment Of Mr." Hyatt, because OF
being a non resident Of Gold Hill. The
Board then proceeded to The election Of a
Constable for Gold Hill Township. which re-
suited as follows: For Samuel Hyatt, Messrs.
Grim and White. For ]. '. A. Lansing, Mr..
Denny. Mr.. Hyatt was declared elected, and
his bond fixed at 5000. There is some con-
siderable feeling in Gold Hill regarding the
action Of the majority Of the Board-but we
believe il is no, because Of any hostility to
Mr., Hyatt personally, who, it is conceded by
III, Sc who know him, is well qualified in
every respect to make n good officer, ou!
rather because he has not resided IN Gold
Hill for u number Of months, and that a, least
two Of the other applicants possessed more
meri, BY reason OF local residence. MI
Hyatt has entered upon the duties OF the
ofsee.
Too BAp.-Charley Humphrey special
policeman, one who has heretofore borne a
very fair character in our community, with
malice. prepense and aforethought," entered
n dwelling last evening and surreptitiously
took a hand-organ, which he bore to the
theatre. Charley Van Gorder, q party &c
cessory after the act, took the instrument in
charge, aud with the aid Of u manikin on top
Of the machine, which did most excellent
dancing, drew around him a most hilarious
crowd. The great trouble with Charley was,
the instrument played altogether Dutch
tunes and as Charley has not 4 drop OF
Dutch blood in his veins, he did not under
stand 4 note Of the music. As 10 this man
Humphrey, the worst Of his acts have not
been told. He actually went 20 the bedroom
Of his poor old mother, and hndinS her sleep
ing, distracted her gown, bonnet aud other
female "hxings," and soon after the act who
should we see in the theater but 4 venerable
old lady, with basket on arm, asking psttan-
res from the crowd. From the amount OF
funds we saw in her basket, she was succeed
ing "muchly." We intend, however. before
the day closes, to have this old lady arrested
for obtaining money under false pretences.
GRAND AND FESTIVE BNLL.-The closing
nc, Of ST. Johns Festival, the most joyous
Of all festivals tina, have taken place in Gold

are not generally outdone on these occasions
and even old fellows, like %ourSelf, in look
ing on 10 the exciting maZes Of 4 dance, &C.
,ually feel our blood enkindled and warmed
up and really feel as young rs ever. We
doubt not this will be a grand affair, and we
hope TO sec u large attendance. Why should
we not make the most of u short life, especi-
ally when spent in the best Of good company,
the object Of the Festival is p~raiseworthy, and
every one so certain TO be rendered pleased
and happy BY. attending. 0mnibuses for the
accommodation OF our Virginia friends, will
pass between here and there until 4 late hour.
THE PREss.-Did any one ever notice the
excitement abo 1t a printing Office just pre-
