Correspondence OF the Register.
A letter having been received from
Pittsburgh by some of our citizens inter
ested in the iron business requesting
them to organize q delegation for the
purpose of attending the mass conVen-
tion in that city on Saturday next, to
protest against the proposed revision OF
the tariff law just reported by the Ways
and Means Committee in the National
House of Representatives, they have
called q meeting, to be held at the
Mayors Office tonight, to make the nee

Ever since the last snow fell q number
OF boys and young men who spend their
time mostly on corners and other public
places, have been having huge amount
of fun in the psstime of snow bslling.
Every one who came within range were
made subjects for the promotion of their

He noted who the ringleaders were, snd
appeared before the Mayor and entered
complaint. 1t was then that the boys
were called upon to view the matter in
another light. The Mayor informed them
that they had violated the law, and he

amount of costs. There is sorrow among
the brotherhood now, ard they have
