Robbing fruit trees this year cannot be very
profitable employment, on account of the absence
of fruit genealy. An occasional pear tree, how
ever, in some favored locality, in order to demon
strate the possibilities of an unfruitfu season, may
be found loaded with luscious fruit. which the pro
Prictor will of course value greatly above the in
trinsic worth. A gentleman residing on Winthrop
street in this city informs that he cherished one
OF these fruitful trees this season with much care.
aud antici ipated great satisfaction in eating of the
product thereof; but on Sunday evening last three
youngsters entered his premises and gobbled up
all his pears with the exception of a few scatter
ing ones on the extlemlties of the highest limbs
and out of reach of the invaders. However Sc
cretely these robbing expeditions may be planned
there Is always a liability of discovery; aud the
gentleman above referred to proposed to gather the
few remaining pears and carry them personally to
these iru thieves and either dems nd restitution
or present the balance of tbs lot TO be distributed
among them. An carly visit may be expected, at
any rate so preparation for the worst had better
be made.
A valuable horse belonging to DR.. j. d. Nutting
OF this city was recently found dead in a pasture
where he had been placed for few weeks during
the warm weather. 1t appears that the horse had
fentured upon mry spot in the pasture and had
sunk down SO as to be unable to extricate himself,
and thus lgnobly peiished by stsrvation-a most
cruel and painful death. The horse will be re-
membered by our citizens as a noble and high
spirited animal. His loss to the DIR. is severe
one, as he was his favorite and well tried servant

coveled that the American Exchange National
Bank of New York he Id Sl2 900 of South Park

Bank. The az ereement by which these were held
arrived this morning, and it appeared that the
State wishing TO rs se money some months since,
deposited as collateral 5000 600 in Chicago and
Pacific bonds, but as tn, depr ciated slightly, in
addition with these the South Park bonds the lat
ter will pay the indebtedness of the State savings

on the dollar, will remain to the credit of the
