MALICIOUS MISCHIEF. - We are in
formed by the President Of the Second and
Third Street Passenger Railroad that for the
past lew weeks, in fact since the openlng OF
annoyed by persons placing ohstructons on the
track. About two weeks ago there was large
chestnut rail placed directly across the track
lust below Franktord lust after dark. This threw
the cars Off the tra ck and risked the lives of
the passengers inside. There is reason to sup
pose these acts are the result of a concerted
plan TO annoy the Company.
CHOLERA To-DAY.-Three cases are re-
ported to-day at the Health Office none oil
whlch are dangerous and favorable symptoms
recovery are evident. The cholera in this
and other cities is rapidly decreasing and fears
o. its return this year are utterly unfounded.
Few cases of genuine Asiatic cholera have been
discovered, though deaths from diarrhmal cases
have Sbeen Of unusually frequent occurrence,
resultant rather on personal uneleanlness and
intempel ate indulgence than lack of sanitary
precauuon on the part of ,he Health Board.
WHOLESOME SCARE.-It seems almost
Cial dispensaion of Providence that the
cholerl should visit our city so lightly. Yet 1t
has had one good effect. The people have been
aroused to sense of their duty in keeping the
city in cleanly condition. Still, 1t is not well
/ go 100 sangune OF the entire disappearance
of the cholera. We should continue 70 keep the
streets clean and see to the abatement OF every
nuisance that will tend to eudanCer the health
o. our people. 1t is always well to be prepared
for the worst.

The great Wigwam Convention is the theme of
all tongues Groups gather on the street corners

usual brass bands, are parading the streets, and
we learn that active measures are being taken
to prevent any disturbance Of the Convention.

Trustees of Heddlng Methodist Church, situated

o! disturbing the congregation while at public
worship. This thing has been going on for
some time, until it has become unoearable.
Naylor was held in $500 bail by Alderman
Hutchinson. An example should be made of the
Iuffian.
