THROWING SToEEss-our attention has
been called TO the fact that . number Of
boys in the neighbOrhood Of the Glass
House, in the Eighth Ward; are in The
habit Of stoning nearly every passenger
train which passes that point Yesterday
morning o stone was hurled through car
window and came near striking a gentle.
man from Kentucky in the face. This
may be fun for the boys, but 1t Is any.
thing else for the railroad company and
It's passengers. We are authorized to say
that arrangements have been made to
capture the perpetrators Of these outrages,
and that when caught their punishment
will be to the full extent Of the law, even
Il that should be to sending them to the
penitentiary for q term Of years. The
railroad company has endured this ston.
ing business as long as 1t intends to, and
fair notice Is now given that 1t must ceaSs
at once, or the offenders will be hung,
drawn or quartered, or their equivalent.

ACADEMY OF MusIC.-The canvass for
the stock yetneeded to secure the success
of the Academy of Music enterprise is
going on, and wehear, there is a prospect
that the sum required ($1s,OOW will be
subscribed within a short time. Now
that this matteris SO nearly consummated,
it will not be creditable to the good PEG.
pie OF the city to permit it to fail for the
want ofa few thousand dollars. Every.
body acknowledges that better hall
than we have is a necessity, and 1t Is
hoped that the men Of means will come
forward promptly and place our city, in
this particular, ona par with other cities
no larger than Wheeling. We trust the
Academy of Music will be an accom-.
plished fact very shortly, atleast so far as
securing the sum required to build II is
concerned. .-' aA7tahI flaa g'G
