quest to the chief Of police that the attention

the Administrator says that he will have to
put their claims before the City Council,
which ID alone empowered to authorize the
reimbursement.

ceipts issued from the department, the loss or
displacement Ii ut the peril Of the dealer or
peddler, who can only expect short delay to
ferret out the lost document. The reason OF

tor, who says that otherwise peddlers and
others who take out q license might be in
clined to dispose Of 1t to other persons should
they be permitted to obtain duplicates. Sew

COLISEUM PLACE CHURCH.

Last evening exercises were held at this
church embracing one OF the series OF lectures
recently inaugurated here, which was deliv-
cred by A. Ell. Nelson, Esq, Of this city.
The lecture was preceded by Journey OF
the Children of Israel, delivered by Mr.. Cole
with geographical demonstrations Of the
subject, which was treated with claarness and
ability.
Mr.. Nelson's lecture, "The Chronology OF
the Bible" was interesting as it was brief and
succinct-in which the lecturer sought, from
his close study Of the Scriptures and analysis
Of the books Of the great work. to locate the
periods OF existence of the celebrities OF the
Bible. Mr.. Nelson performed his task with
humorous Introduction and with such an
originality Of illustration that he made a
dry subject as he termed 1t himself, an
Instructive and captivating one.
The reverend pastor ~ the church an
nounced before the close tae exercises that
the next lecture Of the SCI es would be deliv-
cred on Monday, the ninte nth instant, at the
FIRST Presbyterian Chure'i, by the Rev. pr
George r. Bristor. The subject will be "The
Customs and Manners of the Bible"
