tunty olairing his coqucncc before Squire
Robinson, yesterday, in case OF assumpsit,
between Resch and Walter, Resch lost his

20 The Fourth ward is afflicted with quite
number of very bad and mschievous boys.
They are fertile in the invention Of means
to annoy the neighbors, and now that they
can't fusilladc passcrs-by with snowballs,
they have commenced bombarding private
dwellings with mud balls. A night in the
Cooler for the leaders in the mischief
would have wonderfully restraining effect,
and we should not object to see it tried.
The card Of Mr.. G. 7. Wmtlock ap-
pears in another column in this mornings
BULLETIN, and we direct the readers at
tention to it. Mr. W. is an industrious and
entirely reliable young man; and merchants
and business men can cntrust their collec-
tons to him with every assurance that he
will give them faithful attention. Just
such services as he offers to the public are
in frequent demand, and the business por-
ton of the community should lend him all
the encouragement it can.
The "Religious Illustrated Lecture on
Spirit Power" by Miss Amy Grey, cxcit-
ed considerable comment, yesterday; but
the character Of the exhibition was not dis
! cussed, for the reason that there was no
diversity Of opinion about it. Everybody
agreed that it was the boldcst swindle ever
practiced upon an innocent, unsuspecting
community. There was not even pre-
tense Of carrying out the programme; and
the whole thing was Transparent as a fraud,
shameless ass cheat, and villainous other
wise. As the female rascal" goes in the
direction of Georgia (unless the agent lied
about it, which very likely he did we adj
monish our contemporaries down that way,

the most pronounced type.
We have learned nothing at all deffi-
mite about the funding arrangement" au-
thorizcd by our voters, and cant say
whether the propositions we submitted to
our creditors will be accepted or rejected.
1t is highly probable, however, that most of
our creditors will fall into the arrangement.
Some may hold off, until admonished by
the result of lawsuit that it is better to
take half loaf of bread than no loaf at
all; and very few may stay ont altogether.
1t was not expected that the arrangement
would be even partially effected without
trouble; but the protracted silence of the
agent is unaccountable Quite recently
we received an intimation that everything
was going on all right but beyond that
we have heard nothing since the election.
Jim Anderson, in the vicinity Of Fitz
gerald's Sample Room, yesterday, drew his
revolver out Of his pocket, and fred it into
the air five times in quick succession. Mrs,
F., in the house near by, was thrown into
the most fearful state of agitation under
the conviction that her husband had been
shot, and some time elapsed before she
could be treasured. Policeman Cain hap.
pcning along took James under arrest. II,
was considerably alarmed, and pulling a
roll Of bank bills from his pocket begged
Cain to accept the amount and his thanks
and let him off Cain not being ENGAGE
in that kind of business. took Anderson
before Judge Bird, who fined him $25 and
costs for carrying concealed weapons anC
making such reprchcnsible use Of them.
