An OBJECT OF CHARITY.-An unfortun-
ate girl named Harriet Bell is now domi-
ciled at a lodging house in this city.
She is not Of that class whose reason has
been dethroned, and who might for that
cause be consigned to an insane asylum
and there cared for by the State; but
her situation is even more pltiable, she
apparently never having possessed any
reasoning powers. She is tenderly cared
for by the humane proprietress of the
lodging house, pending an inquiry into
the question of sending her to an asylum.
Incapable of choosing between right and
wrong, unable to provide for herself,
she is truly an object of charity. Pend
ing the determination of the question
involved, she will remain at the lodging
house and be properly cared for, In the
meantime provision ought to be made
for the payment of her expenses.
A FANATIC ON THE Ice QUESTION. -
Yesterday two gentlemen entered a
saloon in the lower part of town and
called for lemonades. The delicious,
cooling beverages We're promptly served,
and drank with evident gusto. At this
point one of the party, who is especially
hostile to monopolies, inquired if the
lemonades were made with Hamilton ice.
! In fear and trembling the bar-keeper an
swered in the negative. Upon this state
of facts being made known the imbiber
at once demanded stomach pump. He
was accommodated. This shows the
hostility of the people here to the ice
monopoly. v
BENEFIT THIs EvENING.-Carrie Carter
takes her first benefit this evening. She
is an accomplished actress, and is withal
great favorite with the theater-goers of
Phoebe. The principal play selected for
the evening is 1.-The French Spy" to be
followed by clog dance, songs and a
recitation. The whole will conclude
with "Bombastes Furioso" The even
ing's entertainment will be varied and
interesting, and We bespeak for the fair
beneficiary an overlooking house, vouch-
sating to her benefit not only compli;
mentary, but substantial. y
To KEEP WATER CooL.-Mr. Dolman,
of Boone & Dolman, has struck upon an
ingenious method of keeping water cool
and avoiding the necessity of paying
extravagant prices for ice. He has pro.
cured a sack of quadruple . duck, IN
which he has placed the water. The
sack is nearly water-tight, and is sus
pended over a vessel to catch the watel
that may seep through. By dampenine
the outside Of the sack the operation OF
evaporation keeps the water cool. Mr.
D. is independent of ice monopolies.

Inlay were walking down the Boule
vardes of Phoebe the other day, whel
