and appear to regard the human form

which it is their solemn and binding
duty to properly lounct'ate.
Not very conducive to sanity feel

the flies, causes fellow to forget him
self occasionally, and use words not
found in any well regulated prayer
book. In fact, piety, heat and flies are
like rum and religion, they won't mix.
I am not overly fastidious, but l did
tell nv landlady to-day, that would
greatly prefer that she would bring my
"bash" and flies on separate plates,
and I'd mix it to suit myself. Ourcitl-
zens are greatly excited over the fact
that John Taylor and Jonathan Stew
ard. two of our well known merchants,
have purchased a lot of land on Clinton
street, and are about building mann
moth slaughter house, purposlng when
their plans are fully completed, to
slaughter 100 hogs per day, and other
animals in proportion. The building
is to be sixty feet front, and eighty feet
deep. The pens are to be inside the
building, and capable OF containing
within their perfumed precincts, from
$50 to 200 hogs. On Wednesday eve
ming a very large Indignation meeting
was held at Model Hall, for the pur-
pose of protesting against its erection
on the site named. The meeting was
composed of our best citizens, and larg-
est property holders, and great deal
of feeling was manifested. Resolu-
tons we're unanimously adopted, de-
clarinp that recourse would be had to
the courts, and the rights of the peo-
pie protected without regard to cost or
conseoences. The chairman of the
meeting is said to have spoken as fol-

objections to this establishment appear
to be well founded, and no good citi
zen will wilfully, for the sake of gain,
spring upon his fellow citizens, that
which will injure them financially and
physically, loading the free air of heav-

Last Sunday night a mice young man"
of the city, received most numerical
drubbing at the hands of one of our
well known hotel keepers, who had
overheard this "nice young man" MAX
ing incendiary propositions" to his
female daughter. The very wordy
young man, who reports for the True
American, has appeared in the role of
fghtest. On account of rather per
personal and pungent paragraph pnb-
lished in the Gazette of Saturday last,
he went to the Office of that paper, and
avowed his ability to clean out the en-
tire establishm ent from the editor down;
holding out extra inducements to the
Gazette Reporter, by Offering him five
dollars towards funeral expenses. Not

semi-annual meeting of the Ct. A. II
for the Dept, of New Jersey, was held
in the room of Post No. 8, of this city
Wednesday, Col. Ward, Grand Com
mander presiding. Fifty three dele
gates were present, and much business
pertaining to the order transacted. A
resolution was adopted directing the
@. NJ Genl. to provide and have erect
ed, suitable headstones at the graves of
over thirty Jersey soldiers inferred in
Cypress cemetery, Brooklyn, N. Y.
The delegates were very fine set of
men, and by their gentlemanly deport
ment, won much praise from our citi
zens. 1t is surprising to see the mum
Der of young men of this city out of
employment. In too many cases the
unemployed young men are simon
pure "dead BEATS" men who have
souls above work. and prefer to exc
out nm ignoble existence upon their
parents bounty. Again there are otn-
ers who wont do anything bnt "gen-
teel' work, preferring to "beat" for
