STEEL BRACELETS.
Uncomfortable JeweIry-HOw a Lady
was HRndcufed
From the Utica IN. " Observer


From the Utica IN. y Observer.
An amusing incident occurred in Little
Falls the other day, which created consid-
cradle innocent fun at the expense Of a
pleasant young lady.
Officer Becker, of Herkimer, conveyed q
! man from Utica TO Little falls, who was
I charged by a crazy man with larceny. At
| ter arriving at bis destination, the officer
was sent back TO Herkimer to summon the
! principal witness. Before leaving Little
Falls he deposited his handouts in the tel
egraph office, at the depot, for safe keeping,
not caring TO carry them about in his peck
ct, and left for Herkimer on the day ex-
press, about noon. He had hardly arrived
in that village when he received a telegram
saying, "COme back ~ the Falls quick"
There was no train going east within two
hours, and reply to that effect was tele-
graphed back. Another telegram was re-
ceived implOring him to go back to Little
Falls as quickly as possible.
Officer Becker waited anXiOusly for the
train, fearing that something dreadful had
happened in connection with the prisoner.
When he arrived at Little Falls he was
dragged into the telegraph Oiiice as quickly
as possible, and without a word of eYplarls-
ton being given, the key Of his handouts
was demanded Officer BeGker's laugh
came in just about this time, and bis anx.
ious mind was relieved. He enjoyed the
laugh heartily, but a young lady sitting in a
shady corner of the telegraph office felt like
anything else but meniment. 1t appears
that, with WOman's natural curiosity, the
young lad lSG been examining the steel
bracelets, which were moyel iHtended TO
encirCle fair hands like hers. By accident,
or design, one Of the young lady's friends
closed the handouts, and the young lady
was subjected TO Tie modification of wear
ing the inelegant bracelets until Olicer
Becker arrived. She smiled through her
tears as the officer entered the telegraph
Office, and viii never NEEDLE with such
dangerous articles again.

Larceny,

Yesterday afternoon a gentleman from
the house of Crawford & Co. informed the
police authorities that he had discovered
a lot of goods secreted in the rear Of the
building, where they had been placed for
the purpose Of being removed that night.
Officer Arnold and a young Clemens
hid themselves so soon as it was dark, in
the alley back of the building, and while
there saw the porter, jeremiah Polk, hand
the goods out of the window to a negro
hackman, Abraham Towles. Both were
arrested and tOlled to jail.

During this month the pupils in Howard
school were required to be in their seats on
time, instead of within the gates, and so
far from its operating adversely there has
been a slight improvement in punctuality;
hence the statistics heretofore obtained upon
this head were correct. The attendance in
all the schools is remarkable for the last
month Of the session, but the Hynes takes
the lead by a little.

THE LoHdOners are discussing the pro-
Ject Of removing CleOpatra's needle to Eng
land. This memorial Of Egypt's former
greatness is fast going to decay, owing to
It's proximity to the saline atmosphere Of
the sea. The hieroglyphics on ore side are
almost Obliterated, and a considerable Dor
ton Of the angles and the base are broken
away. But some people think that the de-
structiye effect Of London atmosphere

DONATIONS.


In regard TO donations of money but very
little can be said. The Board were grateful
to Judge JnO. NJ. Lea for gratuity of 500,
to Mr.. Jos. Vaulx for $40, and to Mr.. T.
Cooley for $40, and hoped that their exam
pie might be an incentive to others, but SO
far have been disappointed. a
LIBRARY ROOM.
For the decoration of the library room
the Association IS under obligations to Mr..
MelvilleI Williams for two oil paintings; to
Mr.. G. 3. Cooley for photograph Of the
"Grizzly Giant" one of the great trees of
California; to Messrs. VIM. Powell & Co.,
of New York, for photograph of the COM
missiOners in the act of negotiating the
Franco-Prussian treaty; to Messrs. Paul &
Tavel for two paintings; to Miss Lucy Hud-
son for lithOgraph; to Gen. G. p. Thrus-
ton, one of tie directors, for an oil portrait
of Daniel Webster; TO Maj. w. F. Foster,
for his map of Davidson county, and to Mr..
A. V. Rutland for pair of globes. All of
! these are placed in the library room, as a
loan upon the conditions above mentioned.
REHABILITATION.
One year ago the Board of Directors, now
about to retire, were not in possession Of a
single book or paper, had no money or
means with which to procure either. To
day they show to you that they have gath
! cred in the room large and valuable Ii
brary of solid and instructive books, have
furnished an array of daily, weekly and
monthly periodicals, literature of the United
States and Europe, equal to any in quality
if not in quantity, that can be found in our
largest cities; have collected and disbursed
81 800, and are now in debt beyond our
present ability to pay to the present amount
of about S400. The experience of last
year has demonstrated that the Lii
brary can be maintained and kept
up at least to the standard
of its present advantages. With an in
come of $1,000, while the Association can
not buy new hooks, it can pay the rent, the
salary of the Librarian and current expen-
ses, and keep'on file all the magazines aud
periodicals now on its tables. This amount
has been paid by regular subscribers and
we cannot believe that the income from this
source will be any less in the ensuing year.
We cannot believe that any citizen of Nash
vile who is now a member of the AssOcia-
ton and who is capable of forming an idea
of its capacity for the accomplishment of
good results will withdraw his countenance
and support. We may safely conclude
then that the Association will be able to
support itself upon its present basis.
WANT NEW BOOKS.
But the library is sadly in need Of new
books, current literature, the live books of
the day. 1t ought to be able to spend in
this manner at least $1,000 Immediately.
The only mode in which this amount
would be procured would be by donations.
The present Board being able to report but |
$3.50 during the past year, the Association
might be justified in hoping that during the |
year to come, in such city as Nashville, !
its claims may be more generously recog- |
nized.

achieved tie present Board of Directors re-
