AN UNIoOKED-FoR RETALIATloN.-Th an
nouncement lately made that the ordinance
feierrlng TO the running at large of all manner
Of animals would be rigidly enforced, was pro.
ouctlVe OF much good In the Vicinity of Eighth
street, above Girard avenue, and a little iii. in
an incident which was to the greatest degree
rlslDIe' The main actors in this drama were a
nenVy gentleman-no less than n well-known
police ofhcer-and a wicked specimen Of the
ORDER T1t1nonto, genus cdprd, which scientific
friend describes as mammal, clothe with long
halr, and characterized for It's angulated and
spiral horns. The scene is laid at the corner of
p lot, surrounded by high fence. II is said
CnaJ after untold exertion, and puffings loud
and sonorous, our rotund friend had cornered
MS game. All hope of escape for the unlucky
rumlnant was cut of, for a voluminous body
was upright before it, the legs thereof descrlb-
ing, with the earth perfect triangle. 1t is
Here, goatee. goatee. Confound that goat why
don't IL conner" Now, natural history divulges
the fact that under certain circumstances GER
tain animals become sadly demented, and are
melted to deeds of darkness. BE that as IL may
we chronicle the fact that, hardly had these
anxious CALCULATIONS escaped from our friend,
when this savage ruminant did arch its back
and lower its head, and with prodigious leap
did strike above the apex of the before mem
toned triangle, coming into immediate con-
tact with the ample folds of vest surrounding
massive form, which gave way with sudden
semi-tragic "Whoo !-ugh blast him ~ and
sank as II IL were no more. We consider 1t as
settled fact that running down and cornering
goats is far from being agreeable TO those with
prominent abdomen under like circumstances.
A 'DRY" CAsE.-Frederick Dry has been
employed for the past four months in the turni-
ture store of Mr.. Dickinson, No. 23S South
Second street. 1t came within his province to
attend TO the clothing OF the store. Last night
he closed the establishment at the usual hour,
and departed. About o'clock last evening an
dudche 10 an adjoining store saw some person
come out of Mr. Dickinson's st, re, through the
rear door, carrying large bundle of cloth. AS
this individual looked up, and found himself
the object of close observation, he faced
about, passed back into the store, slammed to
and locked the door. This was a somewhat
singular transaction, and so thought the OBJ
server. He stepped out, and gave Information
TO Ohhcers Carney and Pearson, of the Third
District. These gentlemen tried all the doors
of the building, and found them secure. SO by
The aid of plank they reached a second-story
window and got in. Jealous search was made
Of all the departments of the building, which
nnally resulted in the finding of Mr.. Frederick
Dry, sleeping, apparently, in a not very COM
Portable attitude, in a large box placed in one
corner OF the ce lar. A further search revealed
large strips of velvet plush, ready cut from
huge rolls, and of the exact size to cover a
lounge. These were gathered in bundle,
amounting in value to about $780, Mr. Dry was
taken into custody, and was committed this
morning by Alderman Butler in default of $500
bail.
