A Sad Scene.

On Saturday week, j. f. Marcer, ex-Trea-
Surer OF Philadelphia, and Chas T. Yerkes,
Jr., Third street broker, who was imp-
Gated In frauds on the City Treasury, were
sentenced and sent to prison. A correspondent
says:
After Mr.. Marcer received his sentence of
four years and nine months, he called his coun
sci to him and requested him to ask the court
to first allow him to visit his family, and ride
to the Penltentlary In carriage, for which he
would pay the expense. The court allowed
him, aud as he went down the stairs he said
to one OF the officers, "Oh, this will kill my
poor tender hearted good wife," and burst
into tears. Then ne said, II would not care

Jones is the one who ought to be punished

procured and two officers Jumped in with their
prisoner. 1t drove rapidly away to Marcer' S

The scene did not last long, for Mr.. Marcer
cut it short himself by saying 'there, there,

ses me often" The man was completely
broken down and wept like child He was
hurried again to the carriage and driven to the
Penitentiary. immediately after entering, his
measure or height was taken, the color of his
eyes, hair, size of feet in stockings; his hair
cut short, cap pulled down over his eyes and
he was marched through dozen or more lanes
and corridors, so that he would loose the
points Of the compass, and then placed in his
cell.

NILSSON AND THE MIsTLEToE.-A New
York paper says: Miss Nilsson attended a
mistletoe party at the house Of Mrs. Paran
Stevens, in this city on New Years night.
MiStietoe branches were hung over the doors,
but the ladies were chary of passing under
them, or did SO when unperceived. The
gentlemen guests, in despair, broke off twigs
and snatched kisses while holding them over
the young ladies' heads. The beautiful prima
donna, was an especial object of affection.
Everybody wanted to kiss her. Unconscious
OF mlstletoe ,peculiarities, she passed under a
doorway and was first embraced by a Young
Englishman named Basset. She was wroth
at the liberty, and slapped his face. He ex-
planned his conduct, and the Hostess corrob-
grated him. Matters then cooled down. At
last young man seized her by the waist, held
sprig aloft, and retained her until several of
his friends had kissed her."
