FOR IRELAND.
An Interesting Meeting on Thursday.

The meeting called for Thursday night by the
committee appointed some time since, to expires;
sympathy with the Irish people in their present
struggle and to devise means for assisting in al
leviating the suffering and misery in that unhap
py country, was held at the Court House on
Thursday evening. 1t was attended by all classes
of our citizens, the gathering filing the court
room.
The meeting was called to order by NJ. T. No
loney, ESQ, on behalf of the committee, who, in
acc ordance with the programme adopted, nOmi.
rated Mayor Nicholson as chairman, who was
chosen.
Mayor Nicholson simply stated the object OF
the meeting: as American citizens to speak such
words as were proper on the subject and to dc
such other business to aid in alleviating the SUI
ferings of the people of Ireland as shall be deem
ed fit.
on motion Mr.. Daniel Trainer was made sec
retary; after which the chair introduced as the
first speaker,
HON. VIM. REDDICK.
Ne said he had first learned of his appointment
by seeing his name on the posters during the al
ternoon on his return from Kankakee. He was
clad to see such an audience: composed OF Irish,
Americans, Germans, &c, especially the Ger
mans; for though he had had differences with
them, vet he knew, as do all, that when the prin
ciples of Liberty are at stake the Germans are
the greatest people on carth,-all history since
Caesar has proved il.

each from Wallace h. White, a noted rcpubli

friend Of Blame, on thsr agreeing TO resign
their seats in the fusion Legislature and thus
leave that body beyond the hope of getting a
quorum. II is also added that White, after
agreeing with Swami and Hartman to pay
the money, was seen to go to Blanc's house
and then return from 1t with the money in his
pocket. Blaine puts in furious denial, ana

Shadow.

Early in July last John Abbott was
taken from the depths of the " Union
mine in Gold Hill with his head crushed
by falling wall-plate. He was laid on
the floor of the Office while medical aid
was summoned, though it was clear that
he must soon die. Next day Superin-
tendent Rooney noticed that whore the
man had been placed on the floor bis out
line lay like n shadow. IJs ordered the
floor to be cleaned and wN+' to his din
ner. The shadow reappeal,n almost as
soon as he did. He ordered a vigorous
scrubbing and went home for the night
The place showed the effects of soap and
water next morning, but the shadow re-
turned during the day, and occupied the
floor at night-fall with its ilI-omcned
presence. An attempt was then made
to paint the mysterious apparition but it
came back after a day or two, and sec
ond coat failed to get lid Of it. Finally
Superintendent Rooney getting nervous
in it's terrible presence had the whole
floor taken up and relaid; and doubtleas
tho shadow is reposinG mobscrved on
the discarded boards wherever they have
been piled up.

Amputatino a Wooden co.

Michael Power, an Irish compositor.
limped into Chambers Street Hospital
last night complaining thai the stump of
his leg-the best part of which had been
left i'll Erin-was causing him acute pain.
He had fallen down, he said, and had
broken his wooden leg and injured the
stump. DR. Moore took him IN hand,
and upon examination found that the
heshy part of the stump had united
firmly with the wooden leg, which was
Of the Oldest and most approved pattern.
The doctor proceeded TO amputate the
wooden leg, and after an hours work
succeeded IN disengaging the two The
cause of the trouble was the neglect of
Michael to take off his wooden leg for a
number of years. This induced a
species of grating and the flesh actually
attached itself to the wood
