spirited picture in the window of Morrisons

great fidelity, and exhibit that fire and dash
that so few artists succeed in catching in their
representations of the noble animal The gen.
tlemans likeness is very faithful one, and
the picture draws crowds of admirers.

CRY AFFAIRS special meeting of the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen was held on
Friday afternoon last. Nothing of particular
Importance occurred with the exception of the
passing of an order for the erection of hose
tower in connection with the city's brick
building on South street. If the Common
Council concur, our Fire Department viii at
last have proper place for the drying of their
hose. and will not be put to the shifts they
have heretofore been compelled to make in OF
der that the hose, after fire, might be put in.
to proper shape for future use No wonder
that the hose becomes inefficient and bursts at
every slight strain brought to bear upon it
when it cannot be properly dried. We hope
the Council will concur in this matter.

SMALL BUsINEss-A week or so ago a
couple of gentlemen of this city went into
York County on cunning expedition. One
day they went into the woods of very wealthy
man who resides hear Alfred and in passing
along they gathered a few nuts from the
ground and put them in their pockets. They
were followed up BY the son of the wel-known
Dives who dema nded pay for the few handsful
of nuts. On being asked what he considered
they were worth he said, "two dollarsr' The
money was handed over but the gentlemen
thought that for man who must be worth at
least 5000 900, with only one child to inherit
all the property, it was pretty small piece of
business. This same man we understand pays
the heavy revenue tax of SLIGO. One dollar on
his watch and sixty cents on ibis income.

ACCIDENTS. We are sorry to hear of an ac-
cident which happened to Mr.. Ferdinand
Pudor, eldest son of DR.. Pudor of this city, on
Friday last. Mr.. Pudor had been down to the
Crank Trunk depot on business and return

carriage at the foot OF High street and sprang
out to go into a counting-room near by. In
jumping his foot struck on the railroad track
breaking both bones of one of his legs just be-
low the knee. Marshal SWEET happened to be
passing at the time aud conveyed him to his
residence. We are happy to hear he is doing
well.

ST. STEPHENS CHURCH Rev. Dr. Pratt,
the former beloved rector of this church,
preached two very interesting discourses yes
terlay to his old Pensioners. In the morn
ing his discourse was upon "The Love of
God,' and divided into three heads, first,
Gods love for man as displayed in the works
OF nature and the redemption second, "The
love and beauty which God has displayed in
his works." third, Goods love as manifested
10 us in sending his son to u.s. The sermon
was marked with the power of argument and
fine elocution for which the doctor is SO we'll
known. In the afternoon an excellent dis
course was preached upon adding to our
faith. Owing to the unpleasant weather the
services were rather thinly attended
