thing but balmy and sprihg-lke. The winds
have been squally, raw, and piercing with oc-
casIonal snow. On one or two mornings the
earth has been frozen so stiff as to fol bid the
use of the plow. Such weather after taste
of spring, with ones stomach fixed for gentle
zephyrs aud genial sunshine, is apt to spoil a
good disposition, loosen up mans regard for
the world, and drive him togrunt out his disap-
pointment and ill-nature in the chimney corner.

By an absurd law no one elected to an
office by the people in this State is eligi-
bic without having, prior to election day,
subscribed to the candidates oath"
In 1866 il was necessary to procure the
passage Of an enabling act by the Legis-
lature in order to legalize the municipal
election, only a few of the successful
candidates having complied with the
law. 1t was 10 be presumed that the ex-
perience of 1866 had opened the eyes OF
candidates, but such has not been the
result. Even Colonel Fitch neglected
to take the oath, and in making an
official return the Sheriff was compelled
to omit counting his vote. Of the sue
cessful candidates for Aldermen, Mr..
Hoist alone is debarred. He failed to
comply with the law, although one ofthe
men for whom the enabling act Of 1866
was passed. His ineligibility places Mr..
Michael Burke in the Board from the
Fifth ward Quite number of the
gentlemen elected School Visitors failed
to comply with the law, and in conse-
quence the Sheriff has made the follow
ing return: Second Ward-Jaceb Fry,
instead of D. F. Goodyear; Third Ward

Our friend Col. Dardis reminds us
that this is Epipheny Monday, day OF
special devotion in the Roman Catholic
and Episcopal Churches. In the services
today the Episte was from Isaias, chap
ter sixty, from first to seventh verse.
The Gospel from Matthew, chapter
second, from first to thirteenth verse.
We recollect that on the advent of our
Savior's birth, the three wise men fro m
the East came to Bethlehem, guided to
the place of his birth by star, saying !;
"Where is he that is born King of the
Jews, for we have seen his star in the
East and are come to adore him." Col.
Dardis prophecies that should the rain
cease we shall have dry weather this
week. His prediction in this regard may
be relied on.

TEE ORPHANS FAIR-The attendance
at the orphans fair Saturday night was
very large, and the different contests
decided in the hall attracted no little
interest. Our young friend, Mr.. John
Duffy. won the shirt studs voted to the
most popular member of the Christian
Doctrine Association. The chairs for
the most popular lady we're won by Mrs.
John Cannavan-a most appropriate
bestowal to lady deservedly popular,
and whose exertions have largely con-
tribuied to render the fair success.
Captain W. ]. Ross won the watch for
the railroad superintendent, and Capt
Simouds obtained the police captain S
pistols, leading Captain Garrett by a
small vote. Captain Gallagher, who
isn't the ugliest man, but is one OF the
most deserving young men in the city,
obtained the cane for the ugliest man.
Tonight the portrait Of Father Rotch-
ford, and she sewing machine-ihe latter
in charge of Miss Sue Flaberty-will be
ratified, and the evening will be devoted
to dancing, a grand ball being an
nounced. This will be a gay evening at
the fair. Go.

About 10 o'clock Saturday night an
alteration occurred on Beal near Causey
street, between John Dugan, Mike Col
Inns, Mike Duffy and James Cannon,
which resulted in rough-and-tumble
fight. The cause of the difficulty we
could not learn, but in the melee Dugan
was stabbed four times, twice in the pit
of the stomach, and left bleeding on the
ground. The police speedily came up
and arrested Collins, Duffy and Cannon,
whose connection with the affair is TO be
inquired into by magistrate. Dr.
Knode was summoned to the aid Of the
wounded man, who, it is feared, cannot
recover
The engine-house on the corner of
Adams and Second streets was the scene
of murderous ARRAY about one o'clock
Sunday morning, after the return OF the
engines from the little fire on Poplar
street. Thomas Pruitt, member OF the
engine force, and Walter Simmonds, of
the Hook and Ladder Company, had a
quarrel, which resulted in blows. The
two men fought for some time, and
finally Simmonds proved the victor After
quiet was restored Simmonds sat in a
chair, and rested his head against the
wall. He had no sooner done so than
Pruitt approached, having in his hand an
iron poker belonging to the engine, and
probably an inch in diameter With this
he suddenly struck Simmonds heavy
blow across the face and forehead. The
poor man fell from his chair senseless,
the blood streaming down his face In
torrents. Other fremen rushing to the
spot prevented Pruitt continuing his
murderous assault, and a policeman
soon after arriving, he was taken to the
station-house. Simmonds was taken to
the hospital, where he now lies in crit
ical condition, with little hope of recov-
cry.
Simmonds is a relative Of Alderman
O'Donnell, and quiet, inoffensive
young man, very popular with his brother
firemen, and all others who know him.
Pruitt is the man arrested several
months ago, charged with killing
policeman near the corner of Main and
Winchester streets. -
