day-that is. he brought together several
newspaper men and well known feeders OF
the city, and encouraged them to tell anec.

cherry bounce from the trees in question.
The dinner was as pleasant and social as it
was patriotic. At its conclusion the name
of the father of his country was respected
only more highly than that of Fritz; and
the only regrettable circumstance about the
whole affair was that George was not born
upon every twenty second OF the whole
year.
A VERY NEAT ARREsT.-Yesterda David
Eennessey. a lad, messenger for Superin.
tendent Badger at police headquarters. was
sen. to the CustOmhOuse on business. When
returning from his errand he noticed two
mel. whose action or style did not suit him,
go he concluded to watch them. David
kept near them until he saw them enter the
ieWeiry store of Mr.. Lazarus, No. 8 st.
Charles street, when he posted himself on
the opposite side of the street to make OBJ
servatiOns. 1t was not necessary to wait
long, for one of the fellows, in the most
common place fashion, laid his pocket hand
kerchief on the glass show case and then
suddenly lifted it, which trick did not
escape Dayid's eyes. The fellows left i'm
medately afterward, when our youthful
detective, with rapid steps, interviewed Mr..
Lazarus, who had not at that time dlscov-
cred that he had been robbed. David asked
him what articles were missing, and IN q
moment an answer was given, and then he
started in pursuit of the men. He found
them easily, also found Corporal Miller, ana
the pair walked up to the first precinct sta
ton. They gave their names as 10 Paul
and 10 Hunt and the stolen jewelry was
found on them. David will to-day prosecute
his arrest and doubtless send them to the
Criminal Court and perhaps to close CON
fnement for many months. This bright
young fellow Is son of Detective Hennes-
sey, who was murdered by Arthur Guerln
in this city some years ago.
THEY NEVER CEASED TO LOvE-Late
Monday night Corporal Axelson discovered
two men operating on a store at the corner
of Lafayette and Rampant streets. The
corporal, with two officers captured the
rascals, who proved to be John Harper and
Peter Linn, men not altogether unknown
to peace conservators. One of them had
bottle of rum, labelled "Joes House," No.
Isl Lafayette street. They also had bur-
glars tools and several stolen articles. The
officers having secured their prisoners IN a
cell, visited Mr.. Cimarell's house, in the
rear of the City Hall, and found that 1T had
been entered and robbed. A lad was sleep
ing in the place, and so soundly, that 1t
required some work to rouse him. A part
of the articles found on the burglars was
recognized by Mr.. Cimarelli and some OF
his spoons were afterward found in va
cant lot on Basin, near Lafayette street.
1t looks as il Harper and Linn will GER.
tainly be elected to the Penitentiary.
