CRY VS.. CorNrY.-At the meeting Of
the Board Of Aldermen. in Virginia, last
night. Mayor Jones called the attention Of
the Board TO the fact tina, the city Jail or
s,ation-house has of late been occupied
more by county than BY city prisoners.
He thought the county ought 10 pay the
city for feeding their prisoners. Alderman
Piper said he was up in the County Com
missioners' room the other day, and they
were growing sbou, this same thing, only
they said the city was boarding too many
o; its prisoners at the county Jail at the
expense of the county, and in fac, putting
more prisoners in there than the county
did into the station house. They seemed
to think the city was getting ahead OF
them on that. Now. in view Of the $4,000
per month in coin which is paid for keep
ing the county hospital open, and feeding
sisreH persons, would i: not be well for
Mayor Jones 10 show 4 little sound ad-
minis,rative ability by ordering q portion
Of the station. house boarders down to the
county hospital; While Tucker s Bron-
son would no doub, object, the end would
justify the means-and there would be
more honesty in it than paving two thou
sand dollars a month TO board and physic
less than a dozen mer. Try 1t, George.

Of trouble and mourning within a few
weeks past. and sincerely merit the sym

four times. He is a capital comic singer.
Go and see him. hear him sneeze, yawn.
cry and laugh with him. His mimic song
is worth n ticket. Foster Is a growing

The PASSENGER TAx.-rhe Pioneer
Stage Company has began collecting the
capi,a,ion tax from the passengers who
leave the State on its stages. The tax is
only one dollar per head. and like the Jer-
sew tax which is collected by the Camden
and Amboy Railroad, it comes out OF the
pockets Of the travellers and not out Of the
company. Unless the Supreme Court Of
the United States ]pronounces the law
under which this tax is levied unconstitu.
,ional, i, will probably be collected hence
forth without further trouble.

rather parties, will be given on Thursday

doubtless be crowded with the friends OF
the reverend gentleman.
