A SAGACIoUs DoG.--An old Richmond
darky used to say, g You say dog aint
got no senses You keep on thinkin' he
aint got no sense. A dog, sab, is dc fus
cousin of monkey, which is ole-time
folks; which you think dey can't talk, but
dey kin dough- We are inclined to believe
with the old man as to the simple fact
of canine intelligence since we have been
told Of an incident which recently hap
pened in our own city. Mr.. Ira Blount's
fine English terrier has, we expect. more
acquaintances in Richmond than any four
legged gentleman hereabouts. During the
summer he has been rusticating in Halifax
with friend of Mr.. Blount's. Early one
morning last week he took his departure
for South Boston, where he awaited the
coming of the down train for Richmond.
In spite of efforts to prevent him, he sue
ceeded in taking the train, and ensconced
himself in the ladies' car. At Glover,
where the passengers take breakfast, he
walked into the dining-room, and, seating
himself on his hind legs by the side of
gentleman, commenced barking. He
continued this until he was fed, and, having
completed his meal, got on the cars again
and came on to Richmond to his master.
The movements of the dog were watched
with great interest by several gentlemen
who knew him, and who can vouch Tor the
above.

A CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT. Mr..
David Yuengling, Jr., is now engaged at the
James River Brewery in constructing a
large aqueduct, leading from q powerful
well, to his brewery, which, from its size,
will show the extent of his intended opera
tions. The length of the aqueduct is over
three hundred feet, and it's dimensions
three feet by six, exclusive of the arched
top. The well which it taps is about
eighteen feet in depth and fourteen feet in
diameter. The water will be forced from
this by q 15-horse-power donkey-engine.
This work for one establishment is pretty
large one when we consider that this water
is only to be used for cooling purposes, as
the beer is brewed from the water of the
noble HJeems."

A SNATCH GAME THAT DID NOT Pay
On yesterday morning Moses Myer and wife
were arraigned before the Mayor charged
with snatching $3.50 from William Burton
(colored), and his wife was also arraigned
for snatching fifty cents from Green Allen
(colorcd). The evidence showed that the
defendants went into the store of Myer to
purchase some goods, and appearing to hesi-
tate about some articles they wished to pur-
chase, Myer and his wife snatched the
money away, as charged. The Mayor Or
dered TINT the money be refunded; where
upon Mrs. Myer became so obstreperous
that her arrest was ordered. Her husband
attempted to interfere, and he was also Or
dered to the calaboose. Both were carried
off, and have doubtless ere this had time to

WHAT YoUNG MEN Must WEAR-CoATs,
PANTS, VESTS, HATS, AND Bo0Ts.-Our
young "bloods are beginning to think of
getting their fall and winter outfits, and at
such seasons are as anxious as any lady can
be to know what is exactly "the style"
For the comfort of their pockets, we are
glad to say that there are few radical
changes required; but We note the " newest
things":
The fashion for frock coats during the
coming fall and winter will be the Prince
Albert style, double-breasted and short in
the skirt, which has been worn during the
past season. 1t will be even somewhat
more abbreviated than hitherto. The colors
are to be blue, black, olive, or brown, as
may be desired. Entire suits of English
and Scotch black and gray plaids will also
he in vogue. similar froc!S coat will be
worn for evening half-dress suits in making
calls, &C., the materials being meltons and
plain, dark beavers of various shades.
The full dress evening suit for receptions
and small gatherings still consists Of black
dress coat with black vest and black panta-
looms. The ball and opera costumes are to
bc composed of blue, olive, or claret dress
l..
colors, white vest, and light plaid panta-
looms. To this decided innovation over the
late funeral garb few adventurous spirits
may add brass buttons, in the style OF
twenty-five years ago.
Overcoats will be in the sack style, sim
clc-breasted, and with fly fronts. The
materials are TO be of meltons, fur-beavers,
chnchillas, and other rough materials.
For sporting and driving coats and vests
velyeteens will continue to have the pre-
ference, the colors being brown, dark green,
| or olive, and pantaloons of light shades.
Vests for day wear will be OF the present
cay and varied colors, cut low, with plain
rolls. The light fancy vestings, for day or
evening, will be Of white cashmeres and
kcrsevs, full and double-breasted, in the
English style, and buttoncd high. For
exclusive evening wear they are to be cut
| low, with three buttons and rolling collar.
! Pantaloons will continue in the present
somewhat tight style, fitting in the same
| manner round the boot, but still less striped
| at the side than formerly. The material
| will be chiefly gray plaids.
1 Ncckties will be both white and black, as
I hitherto. Boots and shoes will be rounded
. ut the toes, and similar in style to those now
in use.
Silk hats will be much similar to the style
of last spring, with low, belled crowns, and
brirns rather broad but they will be, if
anvAhing, slightly lower-more of the bell
shape, and with a greater curve in the
rim. Of the low-crowned hats, the broad,
straight-brimmed Wharton style, OF sm6Ae
color, is to be much worn, with wide, con-
trasting black band resembling mourning
| The other numberless styles of hats in use
will continue of the same pattern, and as
4 varied as heretofore.

As the appropriation is small, it will be

OF expensive mixtures not more than six
ounces will be issued at one time, and OF
pills but one dozen. An inspection of the
shelves and closets of the houses in this
city will show that large quantity OF
medicine prescribed is not used. Walls or
bottles will be sent to the dispensary when
mixtures are ordered. Where physicians
expect to collect their own fees from the
patient or his friends it is not just that
they should order free incidence, except in
rare cases. The dispensaries will be opened
early next week.
