SERIOUS Loss.-We regret to learn, from
an old friend, in the sporting line, that he
had the misfortune, a few nights ago. to have
his two very valuable poister dogs poisoned
so badly as to cause their death
A nsighbor Lad placed some poisoned meat
in a plate, in the back yard, for the benefit of
birds. Unfortunately, the dogs got into the
yard, eat the meat, and are dead.
No one but an old sportsman can realize
this loss

"OUR BRowN AND THE GARRorERs. -
Our readers will remember the trouble the
garroters have given Brown. In revenge; he
determined to go to Richmond and get the
Legislature to pass stringent laws against
them. 1t will be seen, by reference to the
Legislature proceedings in another column,
that he carried the bill through, and peeler
it is.
Brown" was so elatsd with the success of
his bill, though suffering from a seoere cold
in his head, he determined to serenade his
Mary Jane, now living in Richmond.
We give an extract from the touching strain
sung upon the occasion:
Oh blight we fly to other scedes,
Or dwell in yodder star,
Oh ded my lubly bald, id bliss
I'd strike by Ii ght catarrh
But see, de rays of clubbing david
Are geabing on the dew;
hear de berry bugle hord,

FoETUNATE.-A young man of progresses

much upon his good looks, attempted, on
Thursday night last, to squeeze the hand and
kiss the cheek of a young lady, with whom
he had been acquainted but a brief period.
The lady indignantly spurned the creature.
and babe him leave the house. He was so
fortunate as to have been absent about ten
minutes when brother Of stalwart frame ar

BuLIARps.--Tbe Billiard tournament
which has created much interest in our COM
munity for several days past, terminated last
evening at Bsardsley's, in the victory Of
Samuel d. Brough, who was awarded the sill
YER mounted cane, as champion of>the cities
of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Eleven English
carom games were played, of which Brough
won five. The Anal match was between Samuel
D. Brough and Captain j. Sloan, the former
beating his opponent by seventy-6ve points.
Forty-nine points the largest run during the
contest, were made by VIM. j. Brough. The
average number of points were four.
The old style of table, with pockets, has
long since gone out of use in Billiard circles
and we would suggest to Mr.. Beardsley 'hat
he substitute in the place of these carom ta-
bles altogether.

FIRE LAST NIGHT.-About IL o'clock last
| night the alarm of fire was spread through
the city, and an early turn out of the firemen
was the result. The fire proved to he III the
old Dutch-roof frame building. No ITO South
Church street. 1t appears there had been an
effort on the part of some incendiary to create
an illumination out of this old trap, regard
less of the danger to the adjoining property.
Fortunately the fire was discovered early
enough to be extinguished without doing ma
teral damage.
The old building in question, was moved to
its present location a long time ago, from the
corner of Bank and Main streets, where it was
formerly occupied as Book and Stationery
Store, by Mr. G., Hall; and to this day the
sign OF Bookstore" can be seen on the build
ing. We have been informed by some of the
"oldest inhabitants" that this is the building
in which that enterprising merchant, G. Hall,
first laid the foundation of bis fortune in this

NUIsANcE.-The Saloons of the Steam Ferry
Boats are always crowded with dirty set Of
news boys who seem to live in them from
morning till night, to the disgust and annoy
ance of the passengers. Now, we are not dis
posed to find fault with the little fellows, if
they would behave themselves with the least
dscency. but such is not the case for, after
impertnently inportunins every passenger to
buy a paper, they get in a war of words with
each other, and curses big and loud witt! the
most vulgar and obscene Ian ,iage, are freely
lavshed, usually winding up with fight, and
in the scrimmage the stove is upset; and the
toes of everybody numerically trampied upon.
In the name of suffering humanity" we beg
the obliging captains Of these steamers to put
stop to this evil, and forbid these disorderly
boys from taking such entire possession Of the
Saloons, and if it cannot be prevented in any
other manner, keep them off the boats alto
gethsr.

A New WORD FOR OUR PoLIoE.-There
were two little disputes in St. Louis recently,
In one lady was slapped in the face with a

thrown into gutter. In another policeman
was seized by the collar and extremites, and
several times "chugged" in barrel. The lat
ter seems to be a new phrase for new style
of punishment.
