at the City Prison, and who has admins.
tered charity 10 the persons confined there.
In, we were informed by him that the
present destitute condition OF some OF the
prisoners called forsome action OF Council.
Upon questioning the gentleman further,
the reporter learned that many were with
out shirts or the proper apparel for keep.
ing themselves warm. What remedy
would you suggest? we inquired.
i don't know whether II would be the
pleasure Of Council at the present time to
provide for the needy ones, but Il strikes
me that II would be to the interest OF the
city that some action be taken towards al.
leviating the condition OF the suffering
ones. Those without clothing cannot
work, and they are kept In idleness with
out making any return to the city, the OBJ
jeCt contemplated in the ordinance estab.
fishing the prison. A prison suit might
be adopted, 80 that when an offender was
sent up, he could hang up his clothes, and
when his time was out he would have
something 10 wear, and not be discharged
with ragged apparel, resulting from work
Ing In the quarry and breaking stone.
Our philanthropic friend warmed over
his subject considerably, and suggested
that as Council licensed the saloons at the
bars OF which these offenders obtained
the liquor that caused their incarceration,
1t was nothing more than right that they
should provide for them, and see that they
were comfortably clad.

9.3-S per cent in seven days; Il, 500 shares
sold on margin Of one per cent required
an actual capital Of $l2,500. The same

Tom Wilson, Frank Booth, James Mendel
and others went to the neighborhood OF

Jim Mendel was standing at the foot Of q
hill watching the movements Of his COM

rabbit, which presently jumped out OF its
concealment and was Immediately the tar

killed but greater damage was done, for a
number Of shottook eaectin the right eye
and breast Of Jim Mendel, who was stand
ing in range Of the guns. He was at once
removed to his home on Twelfth street, in
this city, whereof Hardesty examined it,
and gave it as his opinion that the sight
was destroyed. 1t was certainly an un-
fortunate accident and strong argument
against the indiscriminate firing Of guns
among large party OF hunters as this one

benz's Hall, on the night of the 18th OIL
November, 1870, the following preamble
and resolutions were unanimously adopt
cd:
WHEREAS, Death has removed oul
esteemed friend and fellow citizen, jesse
S. Wheat, our sympathies and respect
prompt to express the following:
ResolYd, That in the death OF Mr.
Wheat this community has cause Il
mourn the loss OF one who was identified
with 1t in allthat pcrtained to its progress
and welfare. His efforts were extended
in vigorous manner to promote especi
ally It's educational interests; and our well
provided present advantages and privi.
leges in this direction are, perhaps, more
largely due to his labors than any other
cause. His tastes were cultivated and
Rsthetical-books, music and the botany
Of flowers were the constant companions
Of his domestic lie. His opinion Of mer
and circumstances was pronounced and
decided, and in his nature hypocrisy
and double-dealing found no Judgement
He worthily earned in his unobtrusive
and candid life the respect OF the com.
munity in which he lived, and the reputa
ton Of an honest man.
Reeolted, That copy Of these proceed
ings DO furnished to the family Of the de,
ceased, and the same be published in the
daily papers Of the city.

AMusEMENTs.-7Ony DeniT.-This cele.
brated pantomime troupe will appear this
evening ut the Opera House. or 1t the
Providence Erening Bulletin says:
"Tony Denier's pantomime troupe gave
a very good performance at the Providence
Opera House last evening, The famous
old Humpty Dumpty' was given with some
variations, and with series Of speCialties.
'Humpty Dumpty' was represented by Mr..
George II. Adams, upon whom the mantle
Of Fox seems to have fallen. Mr.. @. F.
Fox appeared as 'Pantaloon,' VIM. Eunice
as Harlequin, and Miss Ada Boshell as
'Columbine.' Each was good. The spec.
ialties were also well received. Among
the features Of the play which took with
the audience was the Masonic exposure,
which was suggestive enough to cause a
great amount OF laughter and some ap-
plause. The performance will be repeated
this afternoon and evening, and people
who enjoy a pantomime need not wait for
better one"

was addressed by Colonel ]. F. Hoy, Of
Baltimore, a well known and eloquent
temperance orator. His speech was to
thepoint, an earnest appeal 10 all to work
for the temperance cause and fight the
rum traffic. There was also a large meet
