RECoRDER's- COURT. - Yesterday
was another field day in the Record

John Langan, in q fit of rage, NAL
ice, or innate cussedness, picked up a
cat and dashed it with great violence
against hard wall. knocking out its
brains, ands then tramped upon it
with his feet. He was taken before
the Recorder and fined to the tune of
S. for cruelty to animals. He re-
plevied it.
John Minch, for being drunk, was
fined s. %, which he rsplevied.
John Davis, Peter Hathaway, Chas.
Gwathmey and Berdan Parker went
together in a wagon to funeral. On
the way home they became hilarious,
and one or two of them became very
noisy. They were arrested and tried
before Recorder Willard, who. charged
them each IS 20. which they paid
like little men. John Davis is a
quiet, orderly negro, of light hue,
but being caught in bad company
cost him S. IS.

WITe Fun AND TALENT-HARRY
MCCARTHY AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
THE LAST NIaHT.-There was an ex-
cellent audience at the Opera House
last night, comprising the very elite of
the city, to welcome back Harry Nc
Carthy and his charming and talented
wife, Miss Lottie Estelle. The per-
formances were the most perfect Of
the style we ever witnessed, and the
audience was wrapped in astonish-
merit at the rapid transformations
and conVulsed with laughter at the
inimitable drolleries presented. The
perfect exactness with which Harry
Mccarthy represents every char
acter is calculated to fill all with
astonishment and admiration. He
unquestionably stands at the very
head of that line of burlesque, i'm
personation and mimiory.
Miss Lotto Estelle makes a most
admirable appearance on the stage,
and performs her part with great ac-
eeptance to the audience.
Tonight Mr.. Mccarthy gives his
second and last entertainment, and
those who absent themselves lose a
rare treat. Harry Mccarthy, in his
role, has no equals on earth. He is
making his way South. where he has
good engagements.

THE FIRE ON SYCAMORE STREET.
The fire which occurred on Sycamore
Street, within an hour after that on
ffain and Fifth, destroyed an old car
penter shop, belonging to Casper
Marshall, and another, belonging to
George Schmidt. and a stable belong
ing to Mr.. Mann. The total loss was
perhaps 5000 to 500, with no insur-
ance. MarshalPs carpenter shop, in
which the fire broke out, had not
been used during the Summer. and
there is not doubt that it was the
work of an incendiary. Mr.. Mar
shall, we are told, succeeded in getting
what little there was in the shop out.
There was nothing saved from the
other buildings.

CLEANING DIVISION STREET SEWER.
Mr.. HI Bassett, with gang Of labor
ers, has been for some time engaged
in cleaning out the Division Street
Sewer. The work has been one of
great magnitude. Immense quaint
ties of mud, lumber, logs, &c, have
been taken out. Indeed, for q dis
lance of some three or four squares
the mud in the sewer was about two
feet deep, and, in one or two instances,
large pieces of timber some two feet
square were found, and had to be
split to pieces before they could be
removed
Yesterday evening they had regu-
lar mountain of dirt piled up at the
corner. Of Seventh and Division
Streets, not less than 100 cart loads;
and Mr.. Bassett informed US that
four times as much had been hauled
away. They have less than hale
square now to clean. It is costing
the city much money.
