NEW YORK, February 25.-H the people Of Ne
1ork city are net ere long transformed into
str1ctly moral community, it vii; rot be from an
iack OF vigilance on the part Of she police author
tics, for not only nightly raids made upon IL,
eamohng establishments, but the war has bee
carried into other immoral territories, includin
sudden descents on the most indecent concert 81
looms. Tho social evil houses, whose name is Ie
eon, 1t Is OF course almost impossible to suppress
en1lrey; yet, night after night are the most notc
rlously dlsordery of them broken in to and the in
ma1es placed under arrest. Last night the lynx
eyed ohcers OF the law visited two Of the Broad
way concert saloons, creating great consternatio,
among the pretty waiter girls and the ugly propri
etors OF these irreigous establishments; the dra
matlc nell on Houston street was also honored Will
call, and party Of lager beer imbibers were
found engaged in the performance OF German
| play, instead of spending the Sabbath evening in
| moro becoming manner. Flushed with success
the noble army Of moral policemen went on with
thelr gooo work, and broke into and broke up a
large number OF faro and keno banks. The at
tempted work Of reform, however can only meet
WITH partla and temporary success for there is no
otent drug that cleanse this city Of the peril
S"AN1AS0
vice and crime; one might as wen attempt to bail
out the Atlantic with broken pint cup, as TO e1.-
denvor to prevent New York city fr~--uoing what
it is and De, nest Of immortality and all
sorts Of crime. ~ ss55-l. ..8 4a.
HENRY BERaH, the great and good man, whose
name is ever remembered in the prayers that the
poor dumb beasts are supposed to utter in their
own voiceless language, is still in the field looking
around for cases Of cruelty to animals, and caus-
ing tho arrest Of the offenders. He has just sue
cceded in securing the conviction Of man who
compelled dog to turn Q heavy wheel as new
method Of training preparatory to fight for
canine championship. BERaH first found the man,
and he was afterwards fined twenty-five dollars by
the courts A savage fight took place here recently
between two dogs called Bezcher and Venus, in
which both the gentleman and lady dog fought
almost to the death. BERaH has offered Fifty dol
lars reward for the apprehension Of the dog pro
prietors.
The steamship ST. Laurent left here on Saturday
for Havre, taking out several hundred tons of
goods for the Paris Exposition, including speci-
mems Of coal and iron from New York, Pennsylva-
nia and New Jersey, and ores from California and
Colorado.
The lecture delivered last night at Cooper In
stitute by RICHARD O'GoRMAN, under the auspi-
cesof the .Bloomingdale Catholic Association. and
for the benefit Of the Southern Belief Fund, was q
most powerful and earnest appeal and the picture
that he drew Of the suffering and destitution that
exists in some portions of The Southern country
was so wildly painted that it almost did justice to
the terrible reality and had visible effect on the
audience, so far as could be judged by their coun-
tenances; but whether or not the exciteme ent viii
reach their pocket-books remains to be seen.
On Saturday last man named DAILY, who lived
in TWenty-fOurth sfreet noar Voc ,J,o&
and dangerously wounded by one JoHN DAY, who
had been an intimate friend Of his for the past ten
years. DAY made his escape, but was caught yes
terday and an attempt made to arrest him, where
upon he drew his revolver aud fred at one Of The
officers, but the cap snapped and he then placed
the muzzle of the pistol in his own mouth and
pulled the trigger; this time the cap exploded the
charge entered his brain, and sent the wretched
man to his last account with all his imperfections
on his head- ==57==7 A.
A number Of gentlemen of scientific turn
Of mind, among whom is the homeopath, DR..
Marx Q. LAzARus, formerly Of your city, are deli
vering oflectures on the subject Of Astro-
logy. These gentlemen do not absolutely affirm
that the destiny Of an individual is Influenced by
the situation Of the stars at the period and in the
place Of their BIRTH but they claim that it is not
unreasonable to scppose that such influence may
naturally exist, and the thing is susceptible Of
proof they at present engaged in testing thus
They are furnished by friend with the exact
place Of birth Of some individua who has distin-
guished himself in some marked manner, also with
the year, month, day, hour, moment, and (if posai
be) second Of his birth; from these datG the calcu-
lation is made, and the result arrived at is COM
pared with the actual facts; then, whether right or
wrong, similar calculations are made with mum
Der Of other cases, and results sgain compared
with actual facts-clearly demonstrating in the end
whether or not there be any substantial founda-
ton for the hypothetical theory. 4'..; &
