DEAR SIR-FrOm my earliest boyhOod have been

disappointment was on yesterday morning upon not

since ascertaned the cause, and sympathiZe deeply
with you in the unlocked for trouble which the
breaking of your engine SHAFT naturally induced.
assure you when the fact became generally known
1t was like the shock Of an earthquake to your le
gion OF readers. firmly believe that If any serious
disaster bciel the HERALD establishment which
would prevent its daily publication, the circum-
stance would affect the people OF the metropolis
more than mighty connagration or political re-
volutOn.
am delighted to sec that the World, Tribune
Sunday Dispatch and Standard came to your IA.
sisance in the hour OF need and in consideration
thereof will take the trouble TO read them. In
humble appreciation OF their kindness | cannot do
better than to subscribe for them through you.

Robert Flanagan who some time since was APP
pointed janitor OF the Court House, has been max
ing every endeavor TO obtain possession OF the
apartments occupied by Haggerty, who held that
position. There is some diniculty, 1t seems, in re-
moving Haggerty, who holds possession by virtue
of a resolution Of the old Board OF Supervisors The
Chamberlain has requested the Corporation Counsel
to take action. Yesterday Flanagan made an attempt
to enter and Haggerty drew pistol and caused
him TO retire. An officer OF the Twenty-siNth pre-

now Haggerty will effect peaceful removal.

Departure Of a Missionary

On Thursday morning last Miss MAMIE
HrNDERsoN. daughter of the late Richard Hen
derson. took leave Of her home and friends in
this town aud started for New York, whence
she viii, on Tuesday next, proceed to Campo
mas. Brazil. as a Missionary. She was accom-
panied as Car as New York by the Rev. a. C..
Hopkins, pastor Of the Presbyterian Church Of
this place. IL must require an extraordinary
share Of Christian iortitude and courage TO
make such a sacrifice, aud doubtless she will
be followed by the prayers Of her large circle
Of friends, while the sympathy Of the whole
community must go forth TO her family IN the
painful separation. We trust her health may
become established and her abors richly blessed
in teaching the glad tidiugs Of salvation to the
ignorant and ijolatrous.
