A Coop WoRK.-Some few months
since an old friend. W. f. German, died
in California, leaving his lady and three
young children. Mr.. German had be-
fore his death been martyr to chronic
rheumatism, and in consequence left his
family lily provided for. Since then, in
the last few days, it has pleased Provi-
dence to deprive the children of tender
and affecIionate mother. In view OF
their bereaved condition, the Phoebe
Mnstrels, like kind-hearted gentlemen
as they are, have concluded to Pive one
of their entertainments at Hanley's Hall
for the purpose of raising funds to assist
in sending the children to school, We
are sure that our benevolent citizens will
respond readily to this appeal. That
which is given to the orphan will never be
missed. Tho entertainments given by
the Minstrels are always excellent, and
on the present occasion they intend to
do their very best. We hope-nay. we
are sure-that great number OF tickets
will be sold, and that there will DO an
overlooking house.
MRs. TURaoosE, propristress Of the
Capitol Restaurant. will this evening
give Calico Fancy Dressed B III, at the
restaurant building on Lscour street.
Judge Fuller, aud number Of promin.
ent gentlemen OF the towu, form the in
vitstion COMMITTEES, and every effort will
be made to promote the comfort and con-
veni-uce OF the company. First.class
music has been provided and the door is
as neat as a pin and smooth ms glass.
Among the attractions provided will be
an exceedingly nice and tasteful supper,
which will be served in excellent style,
and comprises many delicacies. We
hope to see Mrs. Targoose's rooms
crowed with company as she well merits
the compliment and patronage. We de-
sire to acknowledge the receipt Of com.
plimentary tickets, Of which We shall
certainly avail ourselves.
BOTTLES when filled are sometimes
dangerous. and whom they are broken
are nasty things to step upon. We
notice that the folks have q bad habit oil
throwing broken glass in the roadway
which may easily cause the running Of q
valuable horse. The other day We saw
bad accident cans d by q broken bottle
thrown out in this careless manner.
