than ne ran down to the reading-rO0m OF the AstOr
House, improvised the form OF very neat note Of

among the leading men of the various newspaper

gret, and to request the pleasure Of the readers
company to dinner to be given by him on Tuesday
evening, November 1G at the Astor House. / think

r'f Central Park.
All sorts of good things are being perpetratcd at
Central Park Among these are the establishment of
chairs nvallds. This, believe, is an old fashion
that has long been out OF aud has just come iu
again. These comfortable chairs are distributed by
the half-dozen near one OF the principal gates and
cen be hired by the hour at moderate price.
Another new fashion is the harnessing OF trained
goats for the delectaton of the Juveniles, and the
hiring OF them ont for so much an hour. This has
only been in operation for few days, but is found
TO work extremely well. All the healthy, handsOm
children wEo visit the Park, aud who can raise til
necessary stamps, may be occupying the elc-
giant little carriages used in these outfits and whip
ping the goats along, utterly regardless of the solemn
individuals who are taking their severe "constitu

DIr. stewards Cemetery.
IL is well known that Mr.. A. Il. Stewart in view of
plan for carrying on business has brought him into,
has for some months had his mind fXed upon
thoughts OF the tomb It is to this end perhaps that
he has lately purchased sixty-four acres of land
the South lempstead Turnpike, about one mile
southeast of Hampstead, of which he proposes to
make q cemetery. 1t is suspected by those who
know him best that he means to run this cemetery
in connection with his uptown store, and that he
will bury cheaper than they could possibly get done
elsewhere all his old clerks who have not yet been
peDs0ned OFF. and who consequently die in the har
ness. Rather a good idea is it not? He likewise
proposes to beautify and adorn the grounds that
they may excel any cemetery on Long Island.
Thief Policeman.
A man who is discovered TO have been notorious
thief has lust resigned his position as patroman
ther bear as brilliant reputation in the Eighth
ward of this city as Reddy the Blacksmith does in
the Seventh. These discoveries that are being
made among police quarters are not calculated
20 increase the confidence of the public IN the good
faith and discretion OF the commissioners. 1t is
not pleasant to run the risk of being dubbed when
you are on your most peaceable behavior; still less
proper place is in the station-housc to which he is
dragging you.
Fi.k's Brass Band.
Mr.. James Fisk, Jr., has already completed ar
rangements by winch brass band-the famous one
which plays exclusively for, and is owned by the
King Of the Belgians-is to give a short series OF
concerts in this country. The concerts will probably
be given afternoon and evening in the summer, and
will not cover more than few weeks altogether.
They will take place in the Grand Opera House. and
are to be given under the leadership of Mr..
Bender
The English Opera, at cheap prices, commences
