Toles desired just such an animal, and
Riley, stating that the horse was his, and
for sale, soon sold him. Half an hour
afterward Riley was enjoying view Of

The New York UNIVERSITY MEDICAL
CoLLEGE.-The catalogue of this institu-
ton is before us. through the politeness
of Mr.. Robt Stoddart, Janitor, It is
only necessary to call the attention OF
intending medical students thereto, since
it years ago made such notoriety, as
among the first medical schools of the
country, as to preclude anything like
words of compliment from us. In every
section OF the Union skilled members OF
the faculty attest the thoroughness that
has ever characterized its course OF
training and the systematic and high
scientific method ofits professors. Stu
ated in the very heart of the great cos
mopoltan center of the country, and
within easy distance of the principal,
public and private hospitals of the coun-
try, unusual advantages await students.
We commend to the attention of the
public everywherethe New York Uni
versity Medical College.

WILL MAIN SrRREr BE PAVED THIS
SEASON This question is asked us
every day by citizens, who feel that our
principal thoroughfare should not be
vast mudhole another winter. Messrs.
Forrest, Montgomery & Co. are anxious
to commence operations, aud have
already completed portion of the curb
ing; but beyond that are unable to
progress, in consequence Of the difficult
tiesiu connection with the street railway.
These troubles, which bid fair to extend
over as long period as the Peloponnes'
sian war, arise from an inability of the
city authorities and the railway company
TO decide as to the exact relations one
holds to the other. The former still
deem it the duty of the latter to pave its
own roadbed, but the railway company,
whose charter is boundess as an ocean,
fails to see it in that light. 1t is certain
that many OF the propertyholders on Main
street will refuse to pay for paving track
used by n private corporation for private
ends and until this and other questions
are determined, mud will continue to
reign not only on Main, but Beal and
Jefferson streets. The whole matter will
be brought before the Board of Aldermen
soon, when, is to be hoped, aatisfac.
tory adjustment Off the existing difficulties
will be made. Without pavements the
street railway will continue of little value
to either its owners or the pubic, as
during the terribly muddy weather for
which our winters and springs are dis.
tinguishcd, the cars are anything else
than public convenience. The people
are clamoring for pavements, and will
not much longer suffer private sq9abbles
to stand in the way.
