A VIoILANT REPoRTEp.-Last evening
Notary Public was engaged transact
ing some legal business with H. Ward,
our well-known undertaken and furni-
ture dealer, in q lodging house on La
cour street. To make the joke plain we
will state that in this lodging house one
OF the inmates had recently been very
sick. All OF these little facts were taken
note of by a vigilant reporter who, NO.
sing an item, Immediately made break
for the house occupied by the aforesaid
parties transacting business. The pro-
prietor Of the house met the reporter
very near the door. when the enterpris.
ing individual asked him in hurried
tones: "When did that man die 2"
"Who die ? What mann" was the an
swer. why, the party that was SO
sick. queried the reporter. "Well he
Is alive and as we'll as you are" was the
answer. Whereupon the vigilant and
healthy reporter left without further ex-
PLANTATION.
WHY IT Is.-Oh night, and storm, and
darkness. ye are wondrous stroDg-as
is the light Of a dark eye in woman. Far
along from peak to peak the rafting crags
among, leaps the live thunder, not from
one lone cloud, but every mountain now
hath found tongue. The fact of
mountain finding a tongue coupled with
the meteorological disturbance occa.
stoned by the shivering Of Jove's thun-
derbolts, is the cause OF our readers not
finding an account Of defunct Celestisls
floating in the blue waters of the Bay as
they pick up the paper at their morning
meal. The sheeted lightning that flashed
across the lonely wanderers path, played
the mischief with the wires. and the sad
result is as aforesaid.
PROJECTION HOSE Co. - The special
meeting of Protection Hose Company
No. 2, called for last evening was held
at O'Clock. This meeting was called

minutes after the announcement was
made the members present bad placed

places the Company on firm basis,
everything paid and they start even with
the town. The announcement will be
made when the carriage arrives.
EXAMINATION FOR INSANITY. - George
Hadley was yesterday examined by
Judge Henry Rives, DR.. s. L. Lee and
DR.. c. F. Philson, as some parties

tons. among whom were J. J. Hal bin,
G. II. Fish, Chas. Noakes, Geo. Miller
