The seventy-fve hour pedestrian con-
test in Chicago between O'Leary and Cross
land, was finished at II o'clock Saturday
night. O'Leary made ESQ miles and three
laps, and Grassland exactly twenty-five
miles less This is by no means creditablc

| The Reform club hall was well filled,
last night, and it was resolved with great
unanimity, that the club would arrange for

One of the most hopeful signs Of the
times is the improved demand for both
skilled and unskilled labor, Carefully
collected statistics show that the number
of unemployed persons in the country at
large at this time, is twenty per cent less
than that of a year ago; and, when the low
prices Of food and clothing are taken into
account, the wages paid are quite as re.
munerative as they were five years ago.

Judge Baker, yesterday, decided to admit
the prisoner to bail, fixing his bond at ten
