DOG TALE.-We put the caption of
our narrative in the singular number,
though the reader will soon discover
that it should have been in the plural
tails. Sitting on the portico steps of the
Court House awaiting the houT for the
assembling of the Police Court, the con-
versation CHANGED to turn on the yari-
GUS misdemeanors, disturbances, &C.,
that marred the peace and quietude OF
the city. One gentleman remarked that
he was greatly annoyed on Monday
night FROM a battalion of dogs, avering
| in the most sanguine manner that there
were, at least, four hundred that had
gathered on Quincy street and were
making toward the river, each one en-
deavoring to outvie his fellow in making
night hideous with his canine music
We asked him to fall hundred or two
but he persistently refused. He said he
knew there were that many, as Quincy
street was black with them from the In
teHigencer office to near Fourth street
and that his dog, then on guard at the
said Intelligencer Office, ran out and put
them all hors de combat. We caved III
and acknowledged it was a pretty good
deg story.

KILLED THE GRUNTER.-A gentleman
living Oh the Island had been annoyed
by an impudeat swine that almost every
night would effect an entrance into his
yard, and 60 to work and upset and dis,
arrange things generally. He had
borne this insolence from Mr.. POrker as
long as he could. So the next time the
grunter got in the yard, which was in a
night or two, our heroic and determin.
cd man, RUIZ out in his night clothes
Ratchet in hand, vowing vengeance on
the rude intruder. He began his attack
on the hog, which commenced running
around the yard. Now he would hurl
the Ratchet, and now Mr.. Hog would
give grunt. Thus round and round
went the hog and his pursuer. After
sometime-it being over an hour-our
determined and persevering friend sue
ceeded in capturing the disturber of his
slumbers, by dealing him blow with
the Ratchet that caused the death of
the midnight prowler. We learn that
our friend has not been disturbed by
the swine since.

SECOND WARD MARKET.-There was
poor market, yesterday morning, at
the Second Ward Market House. About
half-past seven o'clock it had the ap-
pearance of Jack Spratt's platter-it
was swept clean. Prices still rule high
and tho indication are that vegetables
will not recede in price during the sea-
son. Potatoes, according to size, COM
mand from forty cents to fifty ceAts per
peck; green apples, forty cents per peck;
green corn, twenty-five cents per doz-
ca; tomatoes, from forty cents to fifty
cents per half peck; cabbage, heads
about the size of Cocoa-nut, five cents
per head, and other things in proper
ton.
Cut meats arc steady, with the de-
mand and supply light. Beef-steaks,
twenty cents; mutton; ten cents and
lamb fifteen cents; pork, fifteen cents;
veal, none in market. Eggs, Sixteen
and two thirds cents per dozen. Butter,
very scarce and ruling at forty and for
five cents per pound. None but the
early birds can get sight of this arti-
Gle. With the scarcity of money and
the scanty supply of culinary vegeta-
bles, the future affords no vista of hope
fer the laborer, whs depends on his dali
ly toll for his daily support.

THE Observation-Disclosures Hall was
we'll filled last night to see the admra-
BILE play of tho "Nick of the Woods"
Though some parts lacked that degree
of animation which gives o zest to such
dramatic performances, yet IN the main
it was superbly acted. Tillie Doe was
we'll sustained by Miss Annie Seton,
and T. w. Keene, as Bloody Nathan
and The Avenger, acquitted himself
with great credit, bringing down the
house with tremendous applause. This
play portrays the spirit Of revenge as
it ever exists in the bosom Of the untu'
tored but proud hearted savage.
Tonight the very popular land in
structive play of "Unsle Toms Cabin
will be put on the boards for the bene
| Git of the talented young comedian
johnny Ward. Mr.. J. o. Seton will
appear rs "Gumption Cute" I. w
Keene as George Harris" A. b. Kenne
dy as "Uncle Tom," with o song, Miss
Eberle as "Topsy" and Johnny Ward n
t"Marks." in which character he invaria
bly, elicits unbounded applause. Mr
Ward, in this character, is said to b
inimitable, and We are sure he will sus
tain his reputation tonight. A tia
ljig dance will come off in the course o
the play, for silver cup, and this alon'
will be worth the price Of admission
and fill the house to oysrfowing. G.
early and secure good seat.

YOUTHFUL THIEvEs.-The prevalence
of youthful thieves in our city is truly
alarming. Scarcely day passes in
which some depreciation of this kind is
not perpetrated. These small boys are,
no doubt, the pimps of old and expert
enced rascals who infest this city. Al
most every market day these expert
enced villains are prowling through the
market watching for an opportunity to
ply their light-fngered science on the
careless and unsuspecting citizens. A
strict watch should be kept on the OPP
erations of those strangers who lounge
about without any seeming business or
employment.

A WARNING.--We learn that fancy
young man in Steubenville, having
taken on rather too much steam, acct
dentally disclosed the secret that the
person thus intoxicated was young
lady in disguise. When young ladies SO
far forget their modesty and decorum
as to attire themselves in male habili-
