POLICE CoURT.-The number Of cases
on the docket OF this court yesterday
were reduced to two-one drunk and
one disorderly.
Henry Brockenbrand,a young citizen
of the new Eighth Ward, with several
young citizens OF the same locality,
went to house in which young cou-
pie by the aid OF minister were tying
knot with their tongues that they can
not unite with their teeth, and, as seems
to be fashionable hereabouts on such
occasions, commenced yelling and max
ing a terrible racket, interfering with
the pleasure of the wedding party and
rousing the entire ward. The police
made descent on the party and secured
Brockenbrand. The others escaped.
He was fined so and costs or twenty
days on the chain gang. Rather big
price to pay for that kind Of "fun."
James Ryan was discovered dead
drunk on the stone bridge, on Thursday
night between II and II O'clock. He
was fined the usual 81 and costs or five

Depot Selling or ut Cost.

The First of April is drawing near
and such of our merchants who intend
going out Of business are selling their
goods at a very low figure in order to
induce people to bay. J. c. Orr Il Goa
the we'll known furniture and carpet
dealers Of No. 1l2 Main street, are
of those. They are closing out to quit
business and they are disposing Of their
stock OF beautiful parlor and bed room
sets, dining room and kitchen furniture,
wardrobes, book. cases and the like at
prime costs, and in some cases at even
less than this. They are selling walnut,
mahogany and rosewood sets, made in
their own shops, for which 5000 is
asked everywhere, at $3.50. They have
the richest chamber suits OF walnut or
mahogany in oil or varnish, which they
will sell at similar low rates We no
ticed there a very beautiful dressing
case, which cost $3.50 in the city of
Boston, marked at SIS; bookcase to
match, that cost SIS, will be sold at
$50. Common furniture they are sell
ing at twenty-five per cent. below the
regular prices.
As our housekeepers are Overhauling
their carpets for spring and summer,
and wish to get new ones they should
without delay visit this establishment,
where they can buy English Brussels at
81 .25 per yard, Ingram for 95 cents, and
the commoner kinds at proportionately
reduced prices. Oil cloths in sheets,
that cost $l.60 they are offering at
Sl.l5, and mating, rugs, &c. at the same
sacrifice. ......,
Whatever furniture you may need in
the housekeeping lime You can find
here. Looking-glasses at from Csc. to
1875; wire safes, that used to cost ST.
you can buy for 81; extension tables
at 81 IS per foot hair cloth parlor
chairs, of their own make, in walnut
and mahogany, for $40 the set. These
we do not think can be matched in any
store in the country for double the
money.
Go to-day and examine this stock. If
you need anything in the furniture line;
do not purchase until you have called
at Orrs, learned the prices, and seen
how much you can buy for a small
amount Of money.
