Dog Poisoning
venue

r. Steinberg, proprietor of the meat
market on Fourth street, was brought be-
fore Justice Arnold Friday on charge OF
poisoning dog belonging to F. Waltz,
baker, on Third street. Steinberg plead
guilty to the charge and was fined $1,000
& costs, in all amounting to 1910. In
defense of his act he claimed, the dog to
have been prowling about his premises
and had destroyed some of his meat.
Others who have lost dogs by their being
poisoned within the past week, naturally
suspected Steinberg of being the one who
fed their favorite CANNES with food that
did not agree with them, and we learn
that suits are about being commenced
against him for damages by the parties
who regarded their dogs as being some
thing better than mere whifets and there
fore of some value.

Last Sunday being advent Sunday the
services at St, Paul's Episcopal church
were of more than ordinary character.
Rev. I'll. Thompson, in charge of the
parish, had the assistance of Rev. DR..
Egar, of Nashotah, in the services, the
latter administering the Holy Communion
and preaching both morning and evening.
The sermons were all discourses, mark
ed strongly with the well known zeal and
force OF the speaker. The musical por-
ton of the services was impressively rem
dered under the direction of Rev. Mr..
Thompson, who is fine singer, and the
leadership of John ]. Moulding, the old
precentor Of the boy choir, Miss Lizzie
Griffith presiding at the organ.

LITTELLls LIVING AGE FOR 1880.
The fact that this standard weekly maya
zine has had successful career of over
thirty five years against much competi-
ton, is proof sufficient that it meets an
undoubted want of the public. Itfur-
nishes what is essential to American read
ers in great and indispensable current
literature-a literature which embraces
more and more every year the work
of the ablest thinkers and
writer's of the day. AS the only
satisfactorily complete and fresh compen-
dunn of this literature, its Importance and
value has steadily increased It enables
the reader, at trifling expense considering
the quantity and quality of the reading
furnished, to keep pace with the best
bought and literary work Of our time;
and its great convenience to every intelli-
gent person or family can therefore hard
ly be over-rated. @.
The eXta offer to new subscribers for
1880, and the reeucted clubbing rates. are
worthy of note in the prospectus pub. ish-

well worth the attention of those who are
selecting their readiug for the new wear.

Obituary.

Death has removed from our midst
another old resident. Samuel Vaux, ST.,

day morning, Dec. LIST, 1879, aged about
rs years. The deceased was a native of
England, and settled in this CITY some
30 years ago. He was by occupation a
builder, and as a mechanic had few SUI
periors for skill and taste; some of our
best buildings are evidences of his fine
workmanship. Mr.. Vaux had been in
feeble health for some months, a stroke of
palsy he suffered some ..days since hasten
ing his death. He leaves a wife, two sons
and two daughters to mourn his decease.
The funeral of Mr.. Vaux was held from
St. Paul's church, Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. Ell. Thompson, officiating, and the
large attendance attested to the respect
and esteem with which the deceased was
held by the community in whose midst
he had so long resided

FIRST Edition, 100000.

So rapidly are orders increasing for the
December Scribner that it is thought the
first edition of 100000 will not supply the
demand. One cause Of the recent increase
in circulation, by which one hundred
thousand November numbers were sold
in two weeks, is undoubtedly due to the
growing interest in the two serials, Henry
james, Jr.'s "Confdence' which is one
of his most facinating character studies,
and George w. Cables novel of New
Orleans life, ''The Grandissimes." This
latter, begun in November, will be the
leading serial story of the year. Mr..
Cables "Old Creole Days. has attracted
wide attention, and this, his first novel,
promises to be among the strongest and
most important works of fiction that have
yet appeared in American literature. A
new serial story by Mrs. Burnett, author
of "That Lass O. Lowrie's,' has also been
secured and will begin in an early num-
Der. The special attractions of the Deem
Der number include twenty poems by
