No You DoN'T-A brace of cunning fel-
lows in New York, representing themselves
to be Attorneys and Counsellors, profess
the desire to forward ''the ends of justice,
By collecting from the .proprietors of Gift
Enterprises the prizes justly due to the ticket
holder. A remittance of two dollars is the
preliminary step in the proceeding. These
artful dodgers ask us to spread their adver-
tlsement before our readers gratis, ''at the
same time adding any local ideas of your
own" The idea strongly localized in our
head is that these fellows are as arrant
rogues as those they pretend to watch, and
We caution our readers against being caught

DON'T Buy AN ORGAN Until you have
heard that wonderful musical triumph, the
Burdett Organ. The performance of even
child on that perfect instrument is more
touching and musically enhancing than the
fourishes of p,acticed players upon most
other organs. The effects of the ror hun.a-
ma human voice, and celestial stops-a
late invention, and found in perfection only
IN the Burdett Organ-are touching and
sympathetic in the extreme, and compare
bic only to the eart-searching and tremu-
ious tones drawn from their violins By an
Ole Bull or Vieux Temps. The Messrs
Kleber & Bro, I22 Wood street, Pitts
burgh, Pa, have the sole agency, and will
be glad, no doubt, to show these organ gems
to all who may desire it. Mar Lot.

was convicted on wednesday for assauting and
falsely imprsOnng Francis Quinn, was sentenced by

ROBBING A SAFE.
Two young men, named Il. w. Ross and Phillip
larceny IN stealing the sum OF $3.50 from the safe In
the ONCE Of II. w. Adams Co.. lumber dealers, in
Van Brunt street. The testimony OF the boOkkeeper,
j. q. bingham, showed that the prisoners came to
the office on the 5h Of September last, when Ross
stepped behind the railing and commenced CONVEX
sation in regard to the price Of lumber. He said
he intended to put up q house In Fifth avenue, and
he wanted to know about how much the lumber
would cost. Mr.. bingham referred him TO another
parry, and shortly alter they went out. The book
keeper had occasion TO leave the office about the
same time. and during his absence the prisoners
managed to abstract the money from the safe. They
were subsequently arrested by officer Layton, Of
verdict of guilty, and Judge Troy sentenced
Ross to four years. and Allen to i've
to Captain Rhodes OF the Fortythird precinct after
his sentence, and told hun he would cut his throat.
Judge Troy lhearng the threat, sent for sheriff
Campbell and directed him to have the prisoners
removed to the State Prison forthwith.
There has been considerable influence brought to
bear ON the District Attorney and others procure
the release OF Allen. and yesterday several parties
from New York, OF unenviable reputation, were hob
n0bbing with the Sheriff in regard to the matter.
This Allen, alleged, belongs to class OF thieves
whose operations IN confidence games are very ex-
tensve.
THE GRAND JURY AND THE ALLEGED ELECTION
FRAUDS.
Yesterday the Grand Jury came into court and re-
turned sixty-seven indictments against various per-
sons for criminal offences The jury returned pre-
sentiment IN regard to the alleged frauds which were
said to have been committed in the Eighth district
oil the Sixteenth ward during the last election They
found through their investigation that the canvass
had been conducted in rather loose manner, yet
they were unable to find anything TO show any
crlmnality on the part OF any inspector or can
vasser.
SENTENCED.
Michael Lanngan, indicted for burglary and grand
larceny, was arraigned before the court yesterday
and pleaded guilty to larceny. The Judge sentenced
him to two years and six months Imprisonment In
State Prison.

A KENTUCKY BREACH OF PROMISE CASE SETTLED FOR CASH

from the Louisville Democrat, Dec. b..
breach or promise case which bid fair to furnish
rare sensational dish for the columns Of ''enter-
prising" newspapers was amcably adjusted on
Saturday. One OF our wealthiest and most higny
respected citizens, far advanced beyond the hey
day OF life, cOurted q young ana beautiful girl
whose circumstances are extremely moderate
lie offered her his heart and hand In mar
rage and the thoughtful young lady accepted
The wedding ring was furnished, and all the pre-
liminary arrangements for such occasions were pro-
crossing finely, when the family, consisting OF
several grown children, OF the old gentleman got
wind OF the AFFAIR. They ut once resolved squech-
ing the nupitals, and by their united efforts per-
suaded their aged parent to desist in his rash pur
pose. The kind-hearted and amiabe parent
dessted. But the young lady whose heart
had been pierced by Cupids arrow would
not deslst worth "cuss" She was importuned by
friends, and every argument as to the disparity be-
tween their ages and the tickle disposition OF old
age brought to bear but the maiden still persisted.
When all persuasive arguments had failed the offer
OF ready cash was made TO heal her bleeding heart.
With great reluctance she loaned an ear to the
golden propositions, and finally Knocked herself
down at the last bid Of $4,000 The money was paid
TO her last Saturday, and with an aching heart and
full pocket the injured young lady calmly submit
ted 10 her cruel fate.

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT WINS LAWSUIT
AGAINST AN AMERICAN CoMPANY.-The Hartford
Pos, says the Of the British government against
the Sharps Rife Company Of that city, which has
been decided by the Supreme Court in favor OF the
British government In 1855 the British govern
ment made a contract for arms for the Crimean
campaign with the Sharps company To Sc
cure the fulnlment OF this contract, the British
government took q mortgage OF certain lands
near the Snarps factory. The government claims
a non-fullment Of the contract and asks for fore
closure Of the mortgage, in order to sell the ands
and that Is what they have at last got. The whole
amount N controversy Is about 100000 ana the
lawyers concerned have had by far the best OF the
thing. The British government has kept a colonel
New York all the time, to manage the case, ostensi-
bly,, but all he has had to do has been TO pay the
counsel Of the crown their fifty dollars per diem In
gold, when engaged on the case. and TO sign his
name occasionally, while he has boarded at the FIRST
class hotels. The lawyers, naturally enough, re-
Qret the death or the old goose.v
