selling liquor he was fined $50 and costs for

Alden Z. Howard, on Indictment for cruelty
to animals, was found not guilty.

EXPRESSIVE LoDGINGs.-Mr. Leonard OFT,
who keeps a lager beer and lunch room at the
corner OF Mechanic and Norwich streets, went
to bed Tuesday night, at the Webster house,
on Mechanic street, with another German who
purported to he traveller, but who was a stran-
ger TO him. Mr.. OFT had with him a large
amount of money, which he was intending to
deposit in the savings bank on the first of June,
but had carelessly kept it in his pocket think
ing that he would not deposit it until it could
immediately begin to draw interest. His home
is on Grafton street, and as he was afraid OF
being robbed on his way there, to provide
against any such occurrence, he took lodgings
at the hotel. When he got up yesterday morn
ing, he found that his strange bedfellow had
departed, taking with him $500 of Mr. OTIS
money, and an Overcoat and a pair of pants
that belonged to August Keynes, the proprietor
of the establishment The police were informed
of the affair, but have not as yet been able to
hear anything of the stranger, whose conduct
naturally appears very strange to Mr. Oft

SUPPER OF THE FIFTH LIGHT BATTERY -
About eight O'Clock last evening the members
OF the Fifth Light Battery, 10 the number of
nearly sixty, with invited guests assembled at
the barn down in "Scalpintown," which is used
by this organization as an apology for an ar
mory, and marched to the dining rooms of Wall
4 Williams, in the Lincoln house, where an ex-
celent supper was in waiting. Captain Rice
invited the attention of all to the repast and
the time for over an hour was spent in discuss
ing the eatables. The supper over, the tables
were cleared and choice cigars were passed
around. The company was then called to order
by Captain Rice, who introduced Colonel }, A.
Titus as the presiding officer. In accepting the
position, Colonel Titus complimented the mem
bers OF the organization upon the creditable APP
pearance that they had made upon the street,
and the steady improvement they had made in
their movements. He wanted them to keep to-
gether, and not be discouraged because the city
authorities failed to provide them with suitable
armory accommodations.
Gen. Robert ChamberIiu then made a few
complimentary remarks as to the appearance of
the battery during the day, and expressed re-
gret that better accommodations were not pro.
vlded for their USE
Gen. Chamberin was followed by Capt. Lowell
of the Infantry, Capt. King of the City Guards,
Capt. Boyden of the State Guard, various mem
and oxy-, Of hot
gentlemen who were present as invited guests
After singing, in which the whole company
joined, the gathering separated, after having
had one of the most enjoyable occasions of the
season.
1t is a matter to be regretted that this organi-
cation is not provided with a better armory.
Their present quarters are in one of the worst
locations in the city, situated on low ground,
and so small that they are obliged to draw their
guns out into the street and there attach the
horses. When all of the equipments are in the
armory there is only room enough to work one
piece so that the company are obliged to drill
one section at a time. The members are all dis
satisfied, and it is only the hope that at some
not far distant day they will have suitable
quarters that keep them together as an organi-
zaton
