HOTEL ARRIVALS.

The fire which aroused our fellow citizens
from their SAUNDERS at half past l o'clock yes
terday morning was the burning of the greater
part of two carloads of wood, left standing
on the track, above the old round house.
Prompt hands separated the train, letting the
cars i'll advance run down the track, thus
saving them from the flames. The railway
COmpanys engine got on a stream of water
and subdued the fire. The other engines
were hauled to the ground-the nature of
which is such as to make it difficult of access.
The night was calm, and the FIRE being on
high ground made great light. 1t was prob
ably the work of an incendiary, although it is
possible that spark fran an engine had
lodged IN the wood. Damages comparatively

Messrs. kopple & Platt, we notice, are
displaying many desirable samples of Sum-
mer goods for mems wear. Their clothing is
always well made and very cheap.
JOHN D. KERsEY has been appointed by
the Board of County Commissioners to the
position of Public Administrator, vice John
P Meder resigned.
We are glad to learn from NJ Mark Gaige
that his sick ones are very much better of
their diphtheria-quite convalescent in fact.

And this leads US to these historical RETROSPECT

the keeping of pets A writer in a late num-
Der of Chambers Journal reminds us that
Cardinal Wolsey was on familiar terms with
venerable carp; that Cowper played with
rabbits, and that Lord Give owned pet
tortoise This same writer notes the fact
that Sir John Lubbock tanned and won the
affections Of Syrian wasp Some trustful
spinsters-three sisters-moved by the sweet
sentimentality of the thing, undertook to
make pets Of as many English wasps. ''Before
large blue patch over her left eye another
carried her right arm in sling; and the third
was altogether lost to the sight of anxious
friends. Another lady was more lucky with
her pet butterflies until a cruel rain storm
overlook and drowned them in sight of their
beloved mistress's boudoir. Wolves have
been petted and tanned; and so have great
ugly lizards. Captain Burton, the famous
traveller, had numerous collection of live
stock at his headquarters in Syria When
he went away he left his pets in his wife's
charge. She increased the collection pet |

est, best and most popular feature about the

mission. A ticket costs dollar, aud it emit
ties the holder to all the privileges Of the park
including the grand stand and the quarter
stretch. The great event Of the meeting will

A pOLLCE OUTRAGE.

Perhaps the idea will penetrate the thick
skulls OF some OF our policemen after awhile
that the citizen has some rights which even
policeman is bound TO respect. Our force
here has not yet reached the degree of their
brethren in New York, where they elub
citizens TO death, but they are gradually
nearing that point. In the arrest of Mr..
FINLEY On Sunday night Sergeant LEACH
expressed willingness TO kill lin, at the
same time making reference TO Mr.. FIN
LEr's canine origin. Such, ut least, is the
testimony of Mr.. WILLIAM DICKSON, who is
Corroboratcd, and where the statements of
private citizen and an interested police
officer conflict we prefer TO accept the state
ment Of the citizen, and especially so whun
the citizen is one so reputable and well
known ~ Mr.. DICKSON. IN view of all the
circumstances the CouIt did exactly right
in Diminishing the charge against Mr.. FIN
LEY; but Judge SNFII. should have gone
further, and fined LEACH ion his profanity.
We want to see crime depressed, hut 1t must
he done in legal way. If Lieutenant
AUSTIN and Sergeant LEACH had reason
To believe that Mr.. FINLEY was viO-
lating the law they had remedy
which they might have rcsorteh
to without acting as sn'aRs Spared 10
action by TnE REPUBLICAN, some of our
policemen have had II spaSm Of virtue, and
want to distinguish Themselves. But they
can't 10 il by putting mp jobs upon women
in assignaiiOn houses, Or by inyCigIing young
girls or 10y acting as rAUi. pRYs, and then
asSnuliing citizens who resist the invasion
of their premises. We understand That
Mr.. FINLEY has turned the tables and
obtained warrants against ArsTIN and
LEACH for assault, and we hope he will
prosecute the ease so that the rights of
citizens in such matters may Il" settled.
If guilty, We want TO sec them punished.
When officers become mw-lrcakcrS they
should he more severely punished than the
private citizen for like oitrnsc. II the
investigation is pushed, TOO we think ii
will be found that our beautiful Police
Board, OF which T. +. GATUHEI is prcsi-
dent is at the bottom OF this raid" as
they were ut the bottom of the assignatiOn-
house case and that other infamous affair,
| OF which BKEEN was the hero.
