DAILY EMPrREin this City.
DEMocaAr1c ALMANAcs-We have now
a few Democratic Almanacs tosupply those
to whom we have promised copies.
- .0.-
Try At last accounts We had from Mr.
Tate. the victim Of an attempted assina-
ton, he was improving, and 1t is thought
he may yet recover.
TnE LARGE PRHEs-We understand the
German Lutheran 81. Johns Church Fair,
under the management of the ladies VIII be
open this evening for the drawing of the
large prizes.
sE-Many are the improvements taking
place in the different portions Of our city
in the way ofbuilding, etc. evidence Of the
healthy condition Of the financial coustitu-
tions Of our business.
~ The alarm Of fire yesterday was
caused by the burning Of an ash-boN, and,
although it did not amount to much In the
way Of a fire, it should serve as a warning
to those who are careless enough to throw
hot ashes into wooden boxes or barrels.
cB-The bridge on Sixth street will soon
be ready for crossing if VIC may be per-
mitted to Judge from the way the work is
progressing. The structure which is made
ofiron, looks us though it might sustain
any pressure that may be put upon it, and
last to all time.
N.M. r. II. A.-Prof. SCHWARTZ lectures
Tonight at Wesley Chapel, onThird street.
Subject-"Acting in the Living Present
We hear Prof. Schwartz spoken of as an
able and eloquent lecturer. He has most
surely selected a very fruitful subject, and
which if propcrly treated, must prove high
ly interesting.
gE- There seems to be Il little too much
Of loose shooting around Dayton. STRAY
bullets are very unpleasant visitors, and
those who handle firearms should be care
fl when discharging them as to the direc-
ton in which they point them, else some
body might ''shulle off this mortal coil "
rather hastily.
.- There seems to be some doubt about
the appointment Of Mr.. GREEN rs Postmas-
ter for Dayton, and to-day We heard of
some one else having received the nomina-
ton. Mr.. JOHNSON can do no better than
to reappoint the gentleman now in charge,
Mr.. HUBBELI, rs he is entirely acceptable
to a majority of the people receiving their
mail matter at the Dayton Postoilicc.
"SPooKs.'-If the Marshal and his police
force would look after some of those fell
lows spooking around the alleys in WOO
mems toggery, and bring them before
Mayor KINNEY, his Honor might ICON
Wet the ~rascals," and thus give the Mar
shall some chance to do something with
them. Suppose they try it once under the
vagrant section of city ordinance, and
see how it will work.
lB- We received a lengthy letter from
a New York newspaper correspondent to-
day, proposing to send us letters at three
dollars apiece, inclosing a sample. which,
upon perusal, we discovered was a lengthy
pWg for some New York business-house.
Ten cents a line are our regular rates, and,
as we failed to find any "grecnbacks," we
failed to see the gentleman's three dollar
proposition. We may as well tell these
gentleman now, as any time, that it is
useless to waste postage stamps on such
letters.
DARK SUBJEcT.-We see it announced
that FRED DOUGLASS, one of the "culut
gem'n,' now leading the party of "IIumar
Rights on the road to negro suffrage anC
white Acknowledgement, is to lecture n
Turner's Opera House, in this city, on tn,
night of the 10th inst. 1t is presumed tn
subject will be manhood suffrage withou
distinction of color" If so, we suggest tina
Observation-Disclosures, of the Chimes
persuasion, and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Il noble red man of the forest" be also in
vited TO address the people of the commu
nifty on the subject of "Manhood suffrage.
a SCAMP AT LARGE.-M. +. NJ. Hanlor
