CATTERPILLARs.-M Millions of catterpil
lars are rayaging the forests and groves o
this section, destroying every leaf and bad
ly damaging apple trees.
FISH AND VEGETABLKs.-Go to Muir
phey's. on Market street, opposite MurrelI'
store, for Fish and Vegetables. He re
ceiYes both fresh daily.
ANOTHER HoTEL.-We are reliably in
formed that a number OF capitalists intenC
erecting a new hotel on the site Of the ole
Luckey house. We hope that out Of som'
Of the proposed enterprises, grand hete
will be germinatec.
THE GRAND HOTEL The work Of ex
cavatiCn has already commenced for thu
grand hotel, on market street, opposite thu
Courthouse. 1t Is contemplated 10 haY'
the building completed by the first of Au
gust.
GHoULs AND HYENAs.-These miserable
creatures in human shape, are at their an
nual work Of robbing the graves OF the
dead OF the floral offerings, planted by the
hands of affection. Set the police aftsI
them.
COOP IDEA.-We understand that the
Odd Fellows, in connection with a number
OF our public spirited citizens, propose
erecting magnificent block, three stories
high, opposite the Wing and TRIBUNE Of
flee, on Market street in the "burf6 dis
trict" at an early day. The first story q !
be devoted to stores, the second story t0sa
town hall, and third occupied by the Odd
Fellows. There is no speculation about
this, and we congratulate ourselves that
the "burnt distrietD is soon to blossom as
never before. Who says that jackson Is
not going ahead.
STORE RoBBED.-On Wednesday night
during the storm the store Of Mr.. Ham
monds, on Liberty street, was entered by
burglars, who helped themselves to what
ever they wanted. The amount Of this
robbery has not been aseertained. They
entered through window in the rear Of
the building, and retired through the back
door. Some three weeks ago, while Mr..
Hammond was at supper, some one entered
his house and stole s3O5 in money, and he
thinks some one has key that fits his front
door lock. He has been robbed repeatedly,
both by day and night, and rogues seem to
have either peculiar spite at him or very
little respect for his sagacity in detecting
them.
CHANCERY CoURT.-Upon application
of Solicitors, this Court has been adjourned
until the 3rd Monday of June, 1873, at
which time a special Term Will be held
and will continue for three weeks for the
purpose Of disposing Of all business on the
Dockets of said Court. The adjournment
OF this Court was a necessity, and furnishes
a ft occasion TO impress upon the proper
authorities our great need Of a more COM
modious CouTt-House. The Supreme Court,
sitting in Sections, uses the only too avail
able rooms, and had not ChanceTy Court
been adjourned over, during next week,
both it and our Circuit Court would have
been cleft out in the cold" whilst our
County Court would also have no place
wherein to lay its head, where to consider
deeply upon the all-absorbing topic of how
much per diem should be allowed for its
services. We need two wings to the Court
House-one to the Eastward and one to the
Westward, and we trust no niggardly par
simouy viii prevent their speedy construc-
ton.
HALL TO BE FREE.-Mr. W. d. Rsbin-
son, lessee Of Tomlin's Hall, it will be re
is large dealer in furniture and
also an ''undertaker." Now just as soon as
ne heard Of the proposed exhibition of the
Jackson Pantomime Troupe, he went to
GenH Agent, Caruthers and rendered the
use Of his hall free. We knew that Robin
son was deep and suspected that he "saw
something" On being interviewed by US
he confessed In confidence, that he had an
eye TO the main chance when he made the
tender. "Why said he, it will kill every
one of those leading pantomimist to hold
his tongue an hour, and the last one of the
"Corps de Ballet" will break his neck, and
then said he (nudging US in the side, 1 will
make several hundred dollars by furnish
ing cotfins for alot of first class funerals"
We saw the point. But he's wrong about
the 'Corps de Ballet" for If they don't
break their neeks over the sidewalks-they
may be safely set down for any feat Of agil-
ity, however perilous.
A MAD CAT.-An old Thomas cat that
lived around town loose, and was held in
high favor by the clerks generally-who
kept Thomas ears and tail gaudily deco
rated with Tibbons-went raving mad on
Sunday last, and pitched reeklessly upon
every body, or thing that came in his reach.
He violently assaulted Mr.. Mark Taylor,
tearing his Sunday clothes badly, also Mr..
Jas. ID. Marks, upon whom he LEFT the i'm
prints Of his teeth or claws. Then rushing
of he encountered little Glide MeClanahan,
son Of Mr.. Samuel McClanahan, upon
whom he inflicted several severe scratches
and bites. A company armed with double
barreled shot guns and commanded by
Capt. Carter, started in pursuit Of the
frenzied Thomas, overlook and CALAMITY
Stayed him before daylight Monday mern-
ing. The cat had been bitten by movers
dog SEINE weeks before and it is feared that
he had hydrOphobia.
Fun AND FIsH.-A gay and festive pic
mic party excursioned to the North Fork
for fun and fish on Wednesday. They
went on a nat car and felt fiat shortly after
getting there. The party consisted Of la
dies and gentlemen, and was organized by
the gents with an eye to business. They
had planned a campaign, but the ''best laid
schemes Of mice and mem etc. etc. The
ladies Of the party were for the most part
girls-innocent, artless, pretty girls, who
dreamed not of danger. The gents were
raYinefnaIlx- calm and Serene Nvidoyvers-
