The boarders at the Union Park Hotel, On
west Madison, street near Bishop court, we're
turned ont OF doors yesterday morning, and
obliged to seek lodgings elsewhere. Their bsg-
gage was seized and they were beside themselves
with excitement. It appears that the landlord
made verbal agreement with the owner Of tho
property to make some improvements-knock
down several partitions and put in fight
OF steps where they we're needed. This
owner, who il said to be somewhat olosefsted,
failed to make the alterations, and the landlord
declined to ply him the rent The owner said
nothing until the end OF the month, imagining
that the landlord would relent he, however,
failed to pay the rent when due, and the oWne1
prepared himself for 3 coup d,etat, and, yester%
day morning, when, all the male board.
ers were absent, appeared with. several
constables, and, by virtue Of the writa
they had, forthwith took possession Every.
thing in the house wns seized. and the doors of
the rooms locked 80 that nothing could be re-
moved. Women and children were turn
ed into the street, and when their
husbands and parents came = homs
at noon for dinner they we're astounded. In
gresa to the hotel was denied every one, and
hence lodgings had to be secured elsewhere.
Tomorrow morning about forty auita
will be commenced against the owner
OF the hotel, (which will be Supplemented by ono

Department OF Agriculture, stating that q firm
in that city has shipped SO, 900 plants Of what is

distribution in the great prairie States OF the
West. The plants are sent in packages, each
containing $50. They left Glasgow on the 18th
Of April, and will arrive at New York in q few
days. It is thought that these trees will be
peculiarly suited to the plains, AS they
are very hardy, and of free growth.

is acceptable to the Department to make another
shipment OF 70, 900 Of the same kind OF plants.
