City Engineer Thrupp, in seeking the
proper grade for the sidewalk on Washing
ton avenue between Fourteenth and Eigh-
teenth streets, found that the old walk was
considerably above the grade. The walk,

half foot lower than the old walk and
will be up to the proper grade.

A quarrel arose yesterday between two
white women, who reside on Division
street, near the corner of Poplar, which re-
suited in a law suit. The women's names
are Dora Hagerty and Mary Jones and their
trial came up before Squire Osborn. Mary
Jones was fined five dollars and costs after
paying which she went home with VEN
gence in her heart and green in her eye.
Our county treasurer, Mr.. Miles W.
Parker yesterday completed the assess
ments and turned over the books to the
proper officer. Mr.. Parker's work, in re-
gard to the assessments, has been very
thorough, gives the best of satisfaction to
everybody and reveals some remarkable
and interesting figures, which we will pre-
sent to the public tomorrow.

ed large skiff or yawl, and painted her up
grandly. Like the ''old ship of state" un-
der the management of the Democracy OF

lead her safely through the breakers into
the haven of safety and peace.
Not long ago we published an extract
from one of our Mt. Vernon exchanges
which stated that Mr.. John @. Hartman mad
left that city in search OF health, etc.
While Mr.. John Koeher was at Cincinnati
he met Mr.. Hartman there, and we are
pleased to learn from him that Mr.. H. was
rapidly regaining his health-was, in fact,
looking as handsome as peach and was as
happy as lark.
The Catholic ladies of the city are,
and have been since day before yesterday,
giving fair and supper in Mr.. Louis Her
bert's hall on the corner of Tenth street
lad Washington avenue. The ladies have
evidently been laboring hard to make the
attractions as numerous and irresistible as
possible, and judging from the throng that
has been constantly in attendance, We con-
clude that they have succeeded to their
most sanguine expectations.
We have not mentioned the matter be-
fore, because We failed to make note of it
at the time, that Mr.. Michael Shcehan and
Miss Ellen Cummings were married at the
formers residence, by Father Masterson, on
Sunday evening last. Mr.. Michael Shee-
han is the son of our fellow citizen, Mr..
John Sheehan. and is an industrious and de-
serving young man, and one who is esteem
ed by his numerous friends and acquain-
tances in this city. We always regarded
him as too handsome a flower to remain
at the wayside when leap year
came around and now find that we were
not mistaken in our belief. We congratu-
late him.
A white woman, whose name we did
not learn, was yesterday forenoon relieved
Of a pocket book containing five dollars
while witnessing slight-of-hand perform

outside Of the tent. She carried her pock-
ct book in a side pocket, and being greatly
crowded by the mob about her the thief
was enabled to remove it without her
knowledge. After she left the crowd she
dscov, red her loss and notified the officers.
but, of course, looking for thief in so
large crowd of men was equal to looking
for a needle in hay stack, and the rascal
was not found.
