and was the Oldest inhabitant and merchant of
this place.
W. i. Hyde, an employee in the Maryland Re-
publican Office, in attempting to clean the engine
while It was running this morning, had his thumb
caught between the SHAFT and frame and badly
laeerated and bruised, the nail having been en-
tiTely torn of.
Thomas Lynch, captain of the pungy Nabob,
was to-day held in $500 for court, by Justice Gas
saWaY, for violation Of the oyster law.
For come time past the students Of st. Johns
College have at various times missed different
articles from their rooms, and, very naturally,
strong suspicious rested upon the chambermaids
and servants. One day last week the thief was
discovered to be . fellow-student, whose name
will be withheld through consideration for his
lamily-yery respectable people Of the Eastern
Shore. He has been dishOnOrabIy dismissed the
college, and sent home in charge Of one Of the

During the singing of the first psalm in the
parisl. church Of Birsay some years ago, a
goose entered and quietly ''waddled' up the
passage toward the pulpit just as the prectn-
TOR had got out of the tune and almost come
to etaDd-still-a not very unusual occurrence
at that time. The minister, observing the
goose, leaned over the pulpit, and, addressing
The church-oflcer. said: ar, put ont the

presence of the feaihered parishoner, and sup
losing that the minister's direction had refer

At the solicitation Of several Well-knoEn eiti-
Eens, Mr.. F. A. Boswell called a.meeting Of all
those in favor OF suffrage in this District to be
held at Island hall last night. Owing to some
misunderstanding about the date, the janitor
failed to open or light the hall at the proper
time, and, as a consequence, those who came early
left for home on account of the severity Of the
weather. The janitOr was, however, hunted up,
and by $50 O'Clock the room was lighted and
about fifty persons were in attendance. As there
was no IRE In the premises, and they were other
wise in an uncomfortable condition for the object
proposed, at the suggestion Of Mr.. Boswell, a
committee was appointed TO secure a more GEN.

held

stead, the landscape gardener, made a contract
with Mr.. Daniel Mullen to move the Grenough
statue Of Washington from its position in the
East Capitol park 20 the reservoir in front Of the
main entrance TO the building, distance Of 800
feet. In view Of the fact thiIt the statue weighs
sxty-one tons, and that It lad to be lowered hE
teen feet by cutting the earth from under IT, this
work was one that required q great deal Of iudg-
ment On the part Of those having charge. The
work Of moving the statue was finished on Satur-
day, and II now stands very near the position 1t
will in future occupy. Thu masons are at work
