Between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock Wednes-
day morning, at the corner Of Toledano and
Annunciation streets, a private Waterman,
whose name could not be ascertained, shot
and wounded in the abdomen man named
Ed. Wallace
It appears the Waterman discovered Wal

was his intention to carry them away. called
on him to surrender. Wallace did not obey
the command, but told his legs to do their
best in the way of moving, and was getting
over good deal of ground when a ball from
the watchman's pistol brought him to earth.
Singular as it may seem the police appear
to be ignorant of this shooting, and hence no
arrests; or perhaps they took it upon them
selves to judge the shooting a justfiable act,
and were satisfied with incarcerating the
wounded man only.

MISCELLANY.
+" MORE CORR"

In the sanctum cold and dreary, sat the
writer, weak and weary, pond'rng Ger a
memorandum book of items used before (book
of scrawling head notes rather items taking
days to gather them in cold and wintry
weather. using up much time and leather)
pondered we those items DER. While we con-
ned them, slowly rocking, through our mind
queer ideas foclSing, came quick and nerv-
Gus knocking knocking at the sanctum door.
.sSure that must be jerks, we muttered-
eJenks that's knocking a t our sanctum door !;
jerks the everlasting bore" All, well do we
remind as, in the walls which then confined
us, the Exchanges = lay behind us and be-
fore us and around us, and all scattered Ger
the floor. Thought we ''Jenks wants to bor-
row some newspapers till tomorrow, and
twill be relief from sorrow to be rid of jerks,
the bore, by opening wide the door" Still
the visitor kept knocking, knocking louder
than before.
And the scattered pile of papers cut some
rather curious capers, being lifted by the
breezes coming through another door.
Bracing up our patience firmer, then with
out another murmur g Mr.. jerks, said we,
your pardon, your forgivness we implore.-
But the fact is we-were reading of some curl
ous proceeding and thus it was, unheeding
your loud rapping there before" Here we
opened wide the door. But fancy now our
feelings-for it wasn't jerks the bore, jerks,
nameless evermore.
But the form that stood before us caused
trembling to come DER us, and memory swift
" brought us back again to days of yore !;
days when items were in plenty, and where
e'er this writer went he picked up items by
the score. Twas the form of our "deyil,"
in attitude uncivil and he thrust his head
within the door, with "The foreman's ont %
copy sir-and says he wants some more"
Now, this local has already walked a.
bout till nearly dead-he had sauntered
through the city till his feet were very sore
walking through the street called Evans, and
the by-ways running off into portions OF the
city both public and obscure, had examined
stores and cellar and had questioned every
fellow whom he met, from door to door, If
anything was stirring anything occurring,
not published heretofore, and had met with
no success he would rather kinder guess he
felt little wicked at that ugly little bore,
with his message from the foreman that he
wanted something more.
aNow it's time you were departing, you
scamp - cried we upstarting ''get you
back into the office-oflice where you were be-
fore or the words that you have spoken will
get your bones all broken . land we seized a
cudgel, oaken, that was lying ON the floor)
"take your hands out of your pockets and
leave the sanetum door tell the foreman
there is no copy You ugly little bore" Quoth
our devil, s'Send him more!"
And our devil, never sitting, still is fitting
back and forth upon the landing just outside
