We arc happy to sec that lively interest is

This is right. Let the heroic dead be houorcd

we are confident that the strcwing of flowers,
and the usual ceremonies, will be more impress

criiiccd their lives that their country's freedom
might live, and whose noble spirits found the ha-
ven of eternal rest amidst the conflict of human

properly observed by meeting together and honor

WE have been requested to state by the rrnci-
pal party concerned in the shooting OF valua-
bic Maltese cat, and the destruction of its kit
tens, mentioned in the Snlbpy DGily of Tuesday
last, which notice Of the occurrence may leave
the public mind under false impression, that
the cat was found in helpless and unhelpful
situation, placed there, no doubt, by thoughtlcss
or misehieyous children that no blame can be
attached to the person to whom the cat belonged
rs ample provision WAS made for its comfort and
sustenance during his absence, and that the kill
ing was 4 necessity. There was no other way of
disposing of the case, and it is hoped by the prn-
cipal actor in the matter, that this statement on
his part will efectually abate the cat ercitene,,t
and that no more will be heard about the late
catastrophe.

snowMEN appear to understand the weak
mindcdncss of certain classes existing in this
age Of boasted progress, and they exercise their
ingenuity to reach the pockets of these classes.
We refer to this fact for the purpose of showing
how far they accomplish their deceptive designs.
On n late occasion, dazzling show bills came
under our observation, hung ont for Van Am
burg's great show. Any one looking at the bills
could see that there was more on them than
might he expected to be seen within the canvass.
1t was also known that only part of the original
show as was exhibited on the bills, would be here,
and that the whole of the usual amount of hum
buggery would be displayed; yet with all this
knowledge it appears there were some who could
not hold up under the pressure, as their weak
points had been reached, and thoy rcsorted to cx-
tremc means to gain admission to the show.
Fortunately for certain class, pawnbrokcr's
Office was lately opened in this place, by Wm
Gehring, who came to their relief, and to whom
they are indebted for the aid which enabled them
20 ''scc the elephant" MIR. Gehring hayingpre
pared himself for "spcc" on this occasion, was
not disappointed, and hc done q brisk business
on Wednesday while the show was being exhi-
bited, in advancing money to parties who were
disappointed in getting theis pay from the Rail-
road company. Gold watches, silver watches,
revolycrs, cutlery, clothing and even gcntlemens'
shirts were brought to him for small advance,
10 ''raise the wind" to see the show, and Mr..
Gehring is now the possessor of these articles
until they are redeemed. In several instances,
too, the last cent was expended on the elephant,
though not of an ordinary size, and it is quite
consequence of the curiosity and improvidencc Of
their parents. AS money is scarce and provi-
sions arc high, it would be well for those con-
cerncd to consider whether they get the worth of
their money in attending shows, and particular
ly under the false representations of dazzling
posters.
