Jim smith, the small boy who has 50 fire.
quently made his appearance before the Court,
was again up yesterday on the charge Of steal
ing a leg of mutton, Il ham and pair of ducks
from John Macpherson, the keeper of restau-
rant on Governor street. Mr.. Macpherson tes-
titled that the boy had been seen frequently
about his house, and that he was caught few
days ago offering the mutton for sale. The
Mayor said that the boy had already been dis
charged In the case of stealing the mutton, and
that there was no proof of his having stolen
the ham and the ducks. He would therefore
acouit him of that charge, but would require
him to give security in the sum of one hundred
dollars TO keep the peace in consequence OF his
unfavorable antecedents. The boy was COM
mitted to Jail in default,

The LADIES FAIR at the Broad Street Metho-
dist Church Is, so far, decided success Not
only Is II very pretty and attractive place,
with its eyergreens, flowers, fancy articles
and, far better than all, its bright eyes, but ii
is doing well in n business point of view, and
DR.. Duncan's house promises to be handsomely
furnished.
The lecture-room of the church, where the
fair is held, is. festooned profnsely with green,
giving quite a rural and picnic air TO the
scene. Some of the tables are arched over
with garlands of green and flowers, and all of
them covered with fancy work by the fair
hands of the ladies, or else heaped with good
things TO tempt the palate. There are post
offices there, with pretty postmistresses,
where you can get letter any hour Of the
day--if you will pay the postage; tables full
of all sorts of things that nobody would buy
if pretty girls didn't make him do it rosy lit
tie cherubs running about with "grab- bags"
where you pay your money for a grab and pick
out an imposing looking package, and-fnd
pea nut in it; and all the other appliances for
getting mans quarters and half-dollars

next time we go there, there will be no we'd
ding TO take them off.

of age was standing on Broad street, near tho
corner of Twentieth, when boys sleigh came
