BRIEF REFERENCE.

There is a stencil from some cause or other
| which proceeds from cellar on the south
side of X street, between Seventh and
Eighth, which smells so loudsyou can hang
your hat on it, and beats all the glue manu-
featuring establishments extant. What is the
cause of it is the question which the occu-
pant of the premises, people living In the
neighborhood, or Board of Health should i'm
mediately inquire into, for in its present con-
dition there comes up condensed cholera, un-
barreled typhoid fever, yellow fever mlasma,
and other kindred visitants not especially
pleasant to have in the family.
A woman on L street shows her love for
the beautiful by exhibiting water-snske
some one killed few days since down the
river, and which she has got hung up by its
lip in tie basement, but will take it down
and show it off willingly as an accommoda-
ton.
The last set of engines and beilers for the
new river steamer were completed and sent
below from the shops the past week.
County Superintendent Bishop speaks
highly of the schools at Folsom, which he
recently visited.
The City Board of Education meets to-
night in relation to the Grammar School
difficulties.
The new river steamer, it is expected, viii
be ready for duty about the middle of next
month.
The calendar of the Superior Court for
the June term will be called to-day.
MORE PURE USSEDNEsS.-Saturday a..
ternoon Deputy Poundmaster Stevens, while
riding along Third street, between / and j,
on his dog cage. with scoop-net in hand and
an unlawful nav for pound fees. he saw Mr..
Wachhorst's little girl in the alley back of his
jewelry establishment, with little rabbit
and pet poodle in her arms, when he made
charge upon her and q most disgraceful at
tempt to get her pet away, even using vlo-
lence upon her. Several parties saw the
whole transaction, and state that it was with
out the least occasion or opportunity tor inter,
ference on the part of the Poundmaster, and
only out of a spirit of most reckless and des-
picable ittleness and meanness. The ex-
preston is becoming frequent of late, that If
the city has got to be afflicted with such
specimens of deputy officials as this, there
will be general demand to have all the hogs,
goats, geese, COWS and mules turned loose
and driven into their front yards, but save
them from these Deputy Poundmasters.
