Every house, new or old, needs at least once
year an oyerhauling. The heating apparatus
should be put in order for winter, the water
and gas fixtures made secure, the cooking
apparatus examined and necessary repairs
made, the roof made water-tight and the entire
premises oyerhauled and renovated. Work
men should be employed who understand their
business and know what they are about.
Without undertaking any other parties, we
recommend householders for these purposes TO

ALI About a Quince.

There was quite an exciting foot race on
Sixth street east yesterday evening, the par
Elephants being well-known literary lady and
a small boy who stole a ounce from her
garden. As runner the lady was not sue
cess, and consequently the boy escaped. From
the time the race commenced, at the corner of
South Carolina avenue, until 1t was aban-
doned, near the corner of G street, It was
tiocked to their windows and doorways, that
the small boy would win. The lady, however,
had the satisfaction of learning the name OF
the boy and making complaint to his parents,
after which she turned her face homeward,
followed by about fifty young urchins of
various ages, who seemed to enjoy the excite
ment caused by this strange piece of pedes-
