MANCHESTER NEWS.

Never in the reportorial career Of your
correspondent was Manchester as dull as it
was on yesterday. The hanging Of Hillary
Page was the principal topic Of converse
tion, and there was little else to interest the
observer outside Of the fact that promi-
nent citizen on cambridge street had had
his brains nearly mauled out by his wife. 1t
appears that he went home, and being
rather oppressed by the heat took his seat
in the back-room and chucked his feet out
Of the window. His wife had put jar of
preserves out in that same window, and that
jar couldn't stand straight after contact with
Mr. Tootson's No. II shoes. Mrs. Tootson
heard the fall Of the jar, and the talk she
administered unto her husband resembled
the fall OF q kerosene amp upon the skull
OF an innocent and unotfending infant.

ARRESTS IN July AND AUGUsT.-An OBJ
server has propounded to US the following
queries:
: MTell me the reason the arrests are so
much larger in the months of July and Au-
gust of each year than in other months. LIS
it because the preachers are generally alb
sent from the city about that season. Or
is it the effects Of the watermelon Juice on
the people? The arrests by the police are
larger this month-as you can see BY the en-.
closed memorandum than ever before.
The following is the statement alluded TO
ga Arrests made In August, 1871, 726; arrests
made in July, 1872, 731;; i arrests made IN
August, 1877, 744; arrests made IN sJuly,
