vital Importance. Various schemes, look
ing to this consumation, are under discus

want OF unity and concert Of action. As
stepping stone or beginning to this much
needed improvement, we suggest a public
meeting TO discuss the various plans, and 70
settle upon some one which the meeting
may select as most practicable, and to ap-
point a committee to solicit stock, under
whatever plan may be adopted. 1t is vi
tai public matter, and all good citizens will
doubtless participate in the meeting. Let
the call be made.
Ladies, have you examined the beautiful
Dress Goods at Robertson & Bolts? If not,

SHOT AT, But NOT HIr.-On Saturday
night last, one Jun Webb, COL, who had, or
imagined he had. "claim" against Mr..
Jacob Gutenberg, the author, it will be re-
membered, Of German version Of the cele-
brated epic, "Mary's Lamb" called on the
said Jake in his "6rand Ducal palace" in
the basement OF the brick block on the cor
ner of Lafayette and Market streets, and
demanded payment. Jake repudiated Jim's
''little claim and high words arose be-
tween them. Jim INDUCED dire threats,
and invited Jacob up and out into the open
air, flourishing, in the meantime, most
vilianous looking pistol. He went himself
and stood like a man bent on business Just
at the head Of the grand entrance to Jacobs
"Ducal palace,' evidently waiting for a
glimpse Of Jaks'S phisiognomy, that he
might "spile it." Jske's strategy, however,
was equal to the emergency, and instead of
going out at the grand entrance, he made a
flank movement through a back entrance
and appeared in JIm's rear, and promptly
opened vigorous fire; the gallant but
surprised Jim made hasty and disorderly
retreat, kicking up clouds of dust as he
ned. Jim was not hit, but the roof OF the
awning under which he stood was perfect
" mangled. The city made $40 out Of the
affair, and Jacob is happy because he did
not pay it.

for that rich and intelligent section, and tn,

ALMOST A CoNFLAGRATION.-On Wed
nesday morning about eight o'clock,
smoke was observed issuing from the celia
OF Hopper & Sons Grocery House. Promp
discovery and action alone prevented
fearful connagration, for on entering tn
cellar huge ice box was in light blaze
and the ceiling overhead was beginning t
ignite. The smoke, confined as it was, with
