priation Of S 100 to defray part OF the
expenses, and has appointed committee
to actin concert with the committees
from the Fire Companies to make all the
necessary arrangements for the celebra-
ton Alsubscription paper is also being
circulated, which is receiving liberal sign
ers, and there appears to be no doubt but
that the Fourth of j uly is to be celebra-
ted in a manner, something after the
fashion of the olden time.

the Turner'S, and the Fire companies, met
last evening and adopted the following
programme. .q.5H, t..s, eag

FOG misunderstanding of fog sig
mails, one of the Detroit papers mentions
the fact that parties in that city have re-
Gently perfected and secured the patent
on fog whistle. designed especially for
vessels and lighthouses. The uhtstle is
the same III pattern as that used for
steam, but compressed ar is substituted
for steam. The sound is said to be quite
as shrill as an ordinary steam whistle, and
vessel owners who have examined it pro-
nounce it success, and just the thing so
long desired. The machine is so simple
that a boy can use it while the cost viii
be so low not exceeding probably 500 to
1925, that there can be no excuse for
any sailing craft to be without it. The
parties controlling it being engaged in
other pursuits are unable to give their
personal attention towards introducing it
to the attention of vessel owners upon our
lakes. A proper person for that purpose
Is being sought for, and as soon as one is
obtained the machine will be exhibited
at Chicago, Milwaukee and other lake
ports The day is not distant when it
will DOUBTLESS be very generally introdu
ced.

CUSTOM HOUSE CHARGES. Since the
late passage of an act by congress regu-
lating the fees for entry and clearance of
vessels at the ports on the lakes, there

the representation of the agent of one of
the propeller lines, the treasury depart
ment has issued the following instruc-
tons, informing the collectors, that
under..said law, the fllowoing fees are

Cock Fight.

On e certain day O great muster
was to come off at some tavern in the
County of Henrico, and of course
cock fight or two. At the appointed
time. a great many persons were
present, and among them Mr.. NJ, a
gentleman of the real old stripe, who
made q few ten dollar bets on the
cock fights, and lost every one.s He
was commenting on his bad luck,
when Old Ned was seen approaching
with large bag thrown over his
shoulder.
"Halloa, Ned, what have you got
there?" 1,.
"Fust rate cock, Massa NJ"
''Game, Ned?"
"Oh, yes; game as o panther.
Massa NJ"
"Out with him, Ned; out with
him."
And Ned drew forth q large speck-
led cock which, to judge by his size,
was perfect bruiser.
"What's the price, Ned?"
Give dollars, Massa, an cheap at
dat, an if any cock on dis ground
kill dis cock, I GIN you back de
money"
The bargain was accordingly struck,
and the match right away. M. bet
about the amount he had already
lost, and tie cocks wero put in the
ring. <s.''f
At the first touch of the steel, old
Ned's cock gave most awful squall,
and took o strong wing for the
woods. M. was furious, while the
crowd laughed fairly screamed,
with the enjoyment of the fun. Old
Ned was accordingly hauled up, with
the application of some pretty hard
epithets.
'Didn't I tell you, Massa NJ" says
Ned, eff any cock here kill dat cock.
I give you back de ETa dollars? But
dey got to cotch him fus; an neber
see any cock outrun old Skewball in
all my life. Yal yal'
NJ. wanted to be vegy angry, but
it was no go; his anger was choked
down by the uproarious laughter of
the crowd that met him on every
side, and he was forced to enjoy it as
a capital joke. Old Ned continued
to frequent the race courses till the
day of his death.
