BY MISS GOSSIP.
Good morning 10 you, Mrs Smith,
pve been to neighbor Morse's;
Poor But Cut is kicked to death
BY Charley CannOn's horses.
I thought I'd call around, you know,
But have no time to tarry,
For Betsy Jane has got @ beau,
And's Just about to marry.
A charming day to run away,
1t is so cool and shady
Isuppose you know that Mary Drew
Hasgot little baby.
Annie Fall and Rufus Hall,
They were so grandly matted,
Have had falling out, they say,
And now they've separated.
Old Jimmy Sing-the drunken thing
Who stole from Mr.. Freeman's,
And Harry Mott-another sot-
Are dying with the tremens.
And by the way, last SATURDAY.
When was out walking,
heard that Deacon Potter's Sue
Had sued old Farmer Stocking.
do not know how true 1t Is,
But they tell awful stories
OF that affray the other day,
That happened out at Morey's.
You've heard about the gay White Fawn,
And how some people praise 1T
/ never 90 to any show,
Or would 90 to see it.
But must go-I cannot stay
left my bread arising;
But what this world is coming to.
Is more and more surprising.

I'd give the world to know
Ifwhat he said the other night
Is true and really SO.
He said that l was pretty,
And look'd extremely we'll
wonder if he meant it2
How l wish that could tell.
Iwonder if he meant 1t,
Or did it for lark.
When going home to dim the light
And kiss me in the dark.
Inever can get angry,
He's such an awful quiz
And then he comes so often
don't know how it Is
wonder if he meant itl
The saucy, endless tease,
To place his arms around my waist
And give me me such a squeeze,
I'm sure he thinks love him,
Because don't refuse
To please and entertain him
Whenever he may choose.
really think he loves me,
For, just before he went.
He kissed me twice and once again,
And said twas only lent.
Tomorrow night he's coming,
To tease me just the same;
So If there's any damage done
I'm not the one to blame.
To heal the wound bee had made
Upon my Nellie's face,
Its honey to the part she laid.
And bade me kiss the place.
Pleased, obeyed, and from the wound
Sucked both the sweet and smart;
The honey on my lips found
The sting went through my heart.

LOCAL MATTERS.

TIE GRIFFIN HABEAs CORPUS CASE-Mo-
TIoN TO QUAsH THE WRIT.-In the United
States Circuit Court yesterday Messrs.
Neeson and Johnson, attorneys for the re-
spondent, moved to quash the writ of hd0edS
corpus in the case Of Caesar Griffin. The
reason assigned was that the writ had been
improperly issued by the clerk of the Cir
cult instead of the District Court, the init
nation being that the District Judge had
no right to issue o writ returnable to the
Circuit Court.
The Chief Justice decided that the writ
was not pending in the Circuit Court, and
therefore the motion to quash could not be
entertained. He considered the writ to be
pending before Judge John C. Underwood
at cham bers, and that from his decision an
appeal would be othe Circuit Court. Owing
to the strange condition of the papers of the
caseit was not surprising thatthe impression
prevailed that the cause was pending in the
Circuit Court. The District Judge had or
dered the clerk Of the Circuit Court TO issue
the writ, and the clerk had issued the writ
returnahle before the Judge of his court.
The Chief Justice considered the case as if
the writ had been made returnable before
John G.. Underwood, Judge of the Circuit
Court, stating that the District Judge was
by law one of the Judges of the Circuit
Court. Judge Underwood could therefore
hear the cause under said writ as the Dis
trict Judge at chambers. The case could
come into the Circuit Court only by appeal
from Judge Underwood's decision.

supposed conductor, Captain Young asked
him if he could take another passenger
with him on his next trip. The conductor
(for such he proved to he) replied that he
was the conductor of the milk train, and
was not going out again that night. Cap
tain Young again asked him, in case he
went out that night, to take him as pas
senger, and the conductor again insisted
that he was moi going out that night. While
thus engaged in conversation three clear
and distinct whistles were sounded from
the direction of the Bergen tunnel. This
was answered by the conductor swinging his
lantern. The station agent here became
very much excited, declared that the train
in the depot had no business on the main
track, and ordered the engineer to at
once take it out of the way of the sup
posed incoming train. The engineer at
once sprang to his post, the conductor men
toned above sprang on the platform of the
car, and at rapid rate Of speed the train
left the depot. Instead of running on
side track, however, the speed of the train
was increased, and at a rapid rate it dashed
into the tunnel and disappeared in the dis
tance The drawingroom car is supposed
to have contained Messrs. Fisk and Gould.
The train left about A. NJ. at % o'clock
A. NJ. the carriage which had left the front
Of the Eric building WAS observed crossingto
this side on one Of the Pavonia Avenue ferry
boats, but the former occupants had disap-
peared. 1t is coniectured that the carriage
and its occupants crossed on either the
Christopher-street or some other of the up
town ferries.
Yesterday neither of the directors men
toned was to be seen in or around the Erie
building, and the rumor that they had fled,
taking with them the entire available as
sets of the road, amounting, in stocks and
money, so the rumor ran, to from SIS ,0O0,O 900
to s60,000,000. Where the refugees have
gone to is q mystery. The car episode
would seem to indicate that they had gone
long distance down the Erie railway, but
there are those who do not hesitate to assert
that both gentlemen can be found, should
iiligent search be made, either in this
city or Jersey City. The affair has created
the most intense excitement in Wall street
and in legal circles, considerable curiosity
being evinced to know what ex-Judge Henry
s. Davies, the receiver recently appointed
by Judge Sutherland, will do in the matter.
In the mean time those most directly in
terested in the road, with the aid of the
police of this city, are endeavoring to as
certain the whereabouts Of the missing Off
GERS and the large sum they have in Gus
