about the new Custom House lot, and was ordered
TO leave by the watchman Of the premises, which
he not only refused to do, but gave vent to voey
of oaths, and was then arrested by the said watch

ty the community have responded to the appeal
made to them to come forward and contribute
their mite toward the fund necessary to redeem St.
Mchael's chimes. Lists ihave been opened at the
different newspaper Offices, and all who enter
should recognize the claim to their charity, and
lend helping hand CoURTENAY's was yesterday
apparently the head centre OF the charitable crew.
A few gentlemen formed committee on relief, and
arming themselves with list, assailed all passers
by, and impressed upon them the necessity Of
making deposit Their success as gratifying
proof OF the affection entertained by the communi-
ty for these bells. All responded according to
their ability, and though limit was established,
yet none gave less than one dollar, while those
with plethoric pockets antied with pleasure
The List was filled rapidly. and by three O'Clock
there was not vacancy to be had Near two hun
dred dollars was collected, among which was found
seven dollars IN gold. As Uncle Sam does not deal
IN paper, this donation will be gratefully received
as metal basis upon which the required sum
will soon rise Tho conduct Of the Broad street
merchants is worthy of all praise. They have set q
bright example to the community that should
tempt every one to so and do likewise. A few.
strenuous efforts and little active canvassing,
will soon result in the collection Of the required
fund and the release Of the bells. The chimes
are inseparab!y connected with the city and all
who feel any pride in her welfare should be up and
doing, and they will have the satisfaction that few
possess, Of hearing their praises rung on the free
and glorious old peal. 5".-'. !: s.sss
DUST! DUST! DUST l-sDust thou art and unto
dust thou shalt return was made to appear pain
fully true on yesterday morning. Broadcloth
changed it's color to rusty black, bats lost their
fancy and glossy looks, and the penetrating
nuisance found it's way into clothes, eyes, nose,
mouth and hair, until the entire community
seemed to be mourning their sins in sackcloth and
ashes. Even the street cars were not exempt from
this plague, as those who took refuge therein
found to their n sorrow ], the draft carrying
the dust along with an overwhelming force that
surmounted all obstacles. The fair sex were BY
far the greatest sufferers, for in order to secure
themselves against the attacks ;of the insidious
