HowARD AssooIATIoN.-Friday De-
tober is, the Executive Committee met
pursuant to adjournment. 1t was on
motion resolved that members not re-
porting sitter being properly notife ed,
shall be dropped nom the roll, unless q
satisfactory excuse be rendered.
Resolved, That W. c. Mcclure having
used ~indecorous and improper language
towards the Sisters OF Mercy and the
Association, be considered no longer q
member thereof.
On motion, DR.. w. s. Tremaine, q. S.
A, was unanimously elected an honorary
member of the Association.
The following preamble aud resolutions
we're unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, "A proposition has been
submitted to the Association from some
Of the prominent business meu of the
city, with the approval OF the Mayor,
that we should recommend that the
stores and offices be closed during a pOr-
ton of the business hours, in order that
young men may have an opportunity Of
nursing the sick;
RESOLVED, unanimously, That with the
highest regard for the source from which
the suggestion 5msnates, we feel com
PEELED respectfully to decline accsding to
it.
Resolved, That the Howard AssOeia-
ton deems it inexpedient to recommend
a curtailment OF the hours of business,
because, although there is a considerable
amount Of sickness of various kinds in
the city and suburbs, it does not prevail
to such an extent as would Justify so
extreme a measure, which would excite
alarm and create a panic, highly preiu-
dicial to the business interests of the city.
RESOLVED, That we feel highly eneour-
aged by the liberal responses of our bust
ness men to u appeals fer ~pecuniary
assistance, and earnestly invoke the aid
OF those who are DESTROYS, and feel COM
petent, to assist in nursing the sick, and
We cannot doubt that every facility VIII
be &fforded by employers to those in their
service who may wish to engage in that
capacity.

THR FIYE POINTS AGAIN.
SHOOTING AFEAIR All a
HOUSE OF IEL-FAME.
A Pistol Discharged at the
InmaGes-Ther Police Re-
sisted.

That miserable locality now known as
the Five Points OF Msmphis, did not fail
yesterday to contribute its quota to the
criminal docket. About four o'clock In
the afternoon. not a little excitement
was caused in the rear Of the Varieties
Thester by the discharge of two pistol
shots, as well ss the Outcries Of the in
mates OF the notorious house OF
bad repute kept by a wOman
well known TO the police as Mag
Moody. Officer Welsh being near at
once proceeded to the house and de-
nauded admittance. His demand "a
refused. When he threatened to force the
door, aDother shot wal fired through the
door. The officer, however, gained adj
mittance and arrested u man named
William Vanworth, from whom be took
q navy six-shoOter,) and lodged him in
jail. Az far as we could learn, 1t appears
that VanwoTth was Jealous of some man
who went to see one Of the inmates of
this brothel, and determined 10 shoot.
Fortunately no person was hurt. The
party he was after, Jimmy Doyle, es-
through q back window. It is,
we think, safe to say that fouf-ifths Of
the murders and as~sassinstions com
mitted in this city during the past eight
months, have taken place in this vicinity.
That we have not another deed Of blood
to record this morning, is DO fault Of the
participants. IT oesindeed seem strange
that the police are powerless as to the
breaking up OF these sinks Of iniquity.
Once a month is not often enough to
"a pull them"

HOW HE HAD HIM.

A man named Wells kept tavern 10

his house had a very good name, i. was
moro than he had himSolf for it was
surmis0d BY his nsighbOrs that hs used
a great deal Of fodder, corn, &c., for
which he never gave an equivalsnt,
though it had never been clearly proved
upon him.
Early one morning he was met BY an
acquaintance, named Wilkes, % he was
driving before him a hsifsr, which he
had most probably borrowed from some
farmer.
"hallOO, W"llsI where did you get the
heifs'f" cried Wilkea. -zaa..

was the unhssitatiug reply.
