Too MANY OF KIND.-Second District
beer houses do not flourish as in former
times, as people who reside in the vicinity,
having desire for little rest at night,
have declared themselves opposed to tho &c
places, mainly because the houses attract
numbers of bad men-men who are ready
to cut q throat or scuttle ship, with or
without prov ocstiOn. One or two of the
keepers have been ordered to close their
doors. having failed to comply with city
ordinances, and the proprie ior of q shebang
near the State House eays he will not close,
even if an army OF Sioux Indians attack
him. BY the time he serves . round term
in the Parish Prison for contempt of court
he may sing another song.

rade.
The last elected treasurer Of Young
America Fire Company No. 6, Sixth Dis
trict, had immediate use for all the COM
pany's money in his possession, which may
account for the fact that the company's ex-
chequer is at present as thin as butter
fy's wing.
Somebody must intend starting board
inghouse in Commercial alley. A bale of
tender hay was rolled into that passage
way yesterday morning.
The Public School Teachers Association
did not hold session yesterday, as there
was not q quorum.
L. IS a
lone woman $3I to assist her to pay Der
deck passage to this city. She accepted the
currency, but has failed to keep her promise
to refund the money, as she promised. The
aforesaid mayor has the epizooty in conse-
quence, which caused him to write to the
police of this city to look up the deceiver.
The lazy laborers who haunt the City
Hall, when they think there is no earthly
chance for them to obtain employment,
have at last met their match. The fellows
who, like old Eckels in the play, contantly
demanded work or bread, in places where
they could not possibly obtain any thing
but bad whisky, are now utterly stalled
when told that they can find plenty of
work on the railroad.
A city retail dealer advertises "a great
reduction in corsets," but he fails to make
an explanation.
These shirts that open in the back are
ducedly inconvenient to man whose breast
is raw with prickly heat; he can't scratch
satisfactorily.

peddled toothpicks and had no license. Let
all be thankful that he is in prison.

Mr.. Andy Sanburn saw the trouble and i'm
mediately jumped into the river and saved
the girl from drowning.
The next election in the third ward for a
delegate to the State Central Committee
will be held on the sixteenth instant. Mr..
Fitzpatrick is not yet worn out by being
elected early and often, so will be candi'
date once more. He begins to like that
word protest.
The body of an unknown white man.
aged about thirty-ive years, was found I'M,
der the wharf at the head of Canal street
at a quarter to six yesterday morning. The
man was dressed in yellow flannel shirt
leans pantaloons, white wooden socks, low
quarter shoes and white felt hat with black
band.
Vessels in port-Eight steamships, eight
ships, four barks, two briggs and five schoon
ers.
The money paid for coal oil and music IN
last nights procession would start many
moor fellow in business. Even the price Of
the shoe leather that was worn out would
buy enough whisky to make several persons
very drunk.

duca anv of the CONCEALED this season.
