ANOTHER RADICAL Pow -wow.-The sachems
~of thee Republican party met at Liberty Hall,
in Morris ueet, last might; Ito consult sbout
the good Of the party. The hall was densely
crowded with blacks, the whites, with one ac-
cord. being assigned the prominent positions
-on the stage. J. a.. jerks, R. b. Cain, Rev.
tWsbater, A.iC: lRichrqpnd, and other lesser
lights, made speeches that were edityinge to
their hearers, IF thunders of applause be q
criterion. The cth hour prevents
any detailed account sof the. proceedings.
TIE -STrEEr BRIGADE were engaged yester-
:,dsy in removing theraecumulatiun ot?sand and
dirt from the upper portionof East Bay. The
recent rains; had filled the CUTTERS with the
washingscf the streets, and the sidewalks were
in many places oyergrown with grass. The
Improvement now in progress will soon restore
ithis thoroprhfare to it's former cleanly con-
.dition. A portion of the sidewalk between
Market. and EHasel streets is sadly dllapidated,
and ifthsaspbalt pavement could be laid there,
1t would bea blessing. to pedestrians.
a NOVEL, Fox. x.HgNr.-Yesterday morning
some attendants in the graveyard Of st. Mich
ael's were .astonished Mt the sight OF genuine
bushy-tailed fox, whloh was stealing ieisurely
along among the graves. Chase was at once
given, and Monsieur Reynard captured before
she could escape from the enclosure. Upon IN
uuiry, it appeared that the fox had strayed
from his owner in The upper wards, and NAG
been seen in the neighporhood Of st. Michael's
on several occasions: The colored man who
made the capture claims the brush, unless the
.owner should appear.
