ness of money affairs in this city, we
may mention that the Central Building
Association, which meets at the Court

at about 40 per cent. premium-once or
twice little above that figure.

EFFrom the character of the wealth,
or for the past month it is not probable
that our city markets will soon be very
well supplied with early vegetables.
Last Spring was thought an unusual

THROWING SToNEs.-Among the many
bad practices INDUCED in by Young
America" in our city, we know of
none worse than that of throwing
stones. Yesterday morning little girl
in the First Ward was struck in the
head with missile hurled at comrade
by lad at play. An ugly cash was cut
in the head of the little girl, and she
was taken home besmeared with blood.
Some time ago our police arrested sever
al urchins for this bad practice of
throwing stones. We hope to see ar
rests made until the mischief is stopped.

stoned By the death Of Senator Fessen-

for 1871. The law passed by Congress
regulating the times and manner of
holding elections for Senators in Con-
gress, in 1856. forbids any such action as
that named. a. possible. The law
savs:-
That the Legislature Of each state

Or are these figures the characters

Al any rate MIR. TAYLOR has now ac-
comp'ished work that persons have
desired should be done for many wears
past, and will we have no doubt receive
the thanks of all who are interested in
the early history of this country and lis
earlier Inhabitants, their habits, pecul-

that such an enterprise will pay, GER
