between Tenth and Twelfth streets. The

HoRRIBLE-We learn that young wO-
man in the vicinity Seventeenth and Dacotah
streets was taken with the pains ofchildbirth
a few DAYS ago, and before she could he pre-
vented ran into an clubhouse. Persons slis-
pecsing her motive in doing SO, attempted to
enter the door, but were forcibly prevented
~ the woman, until too late, for when they
lad effected an entrance, the child was found
in the varlt ler,eath, and died before it could
he rescued. The mother of the child is now
confined to her bed by consequent illness.
We did not learn that any measures had
been taken to arrest her.
THERE was considerable carelessness ex-
hibited in throwing fireworks about on Mon
day night However patriotic person may
=. he, it vet seems the part of courtesy to allow
him to choose in what manner he shall sacri
fee himself upon the national altar. Fol
instance, in framing the Declaration Of Indie
.pendence itis hardly consistent with the gen
orally reeived idea Of cur forefathers' wis
dom, to believe Dat they intended the large
SIZED brecsl6s y aesdy diet for the eye
or that To sagninarys honr Dund Of charcoal
and sulp sso,ild be generally adopted a

for the drinks. The inventor of Thu game
generally takes hand in himself, and as a
fly has never been known 10 light upon his
lump, it is supposed that he soaks it in vine
gar or some other liquid that repels the flies
A committee has been appointed To invesi-

The author of that mournful editorial on
saloon bummers should I've careful about get
ting into that sugar business. Ii might he
come necessary for him TO rer'riiatc the
sugar and "a hack ON the fly.
