found fresh illustration in that model village one
day last week A gang of Seventh avenue rui-
fans, led by one James McConville, attempted
to discipline German Barber named Strob, for
declining to vote for Mr.. LedSith for Police
Justice. In the course of the ARRAY McConville
helped himself to piece of Strob's nose, and
the barber returned the compliment by devOur-

ruolish his tonsorial establishment. When the

must be celebrated. A grand excursion
will pass oyer the road and the celebrities
from all parts of the Union will be wined
and dired in the Garden City. Cur City
Council are limited in their appropria-
ton and arrangements are being made for
private subscriptions The Board of
Trade will take hold of the matter and if
there is not a good time in the ordin-
ary sense of the term ] am very much
mistaken.
