Pennock Pusey, of st. Paul, Minn.,
brother of Joshua, Edward and Joseph
Pusey, and brother-in-law TO J. T..
Heald, is now on visit TO his Whining
ton friends, Mr.. Pusey went out to Min
nesota in 1854, and, to use the 6gurative
western expression, "grew up with the
State" During his. residence there he
has been at the head of the Bureau of
Statistics, and has been officially identi-
fed with the educational interests of the
State. He was assistant Secretary of
State for several years, and is now pri-
vate secretary to Governor Pillsbury.
Between Mr.. Pusey and Mr.. Head, ali
interest has for long time existed in
relation to the population of Wilmington
and st. Paul, Mr.. Heald all along insist
ing that st. Paul, which is comparative
ly young city, would soon exceed Will
mington. The probabilities now are
that st. Paul will lead Wilmington
about 1000, and that minneapolis, an
other chief city of Minnesota, will lead
st. Paul to the same extent.

a Theft of Bonds.

THE PROPERTY OF AN OLD LADY MYs-
TzRIoUsLY STOLEN FROM THE CLAY
TON HOUSE.
In a closet adjoining her room in the
Clayton House, Mrs. Louisa M. Vaughn
has for long time kept box contain
ing valuable papers, such as deeds, bonds,
notes, &c. This box has not been OPEN
ed for some time, and on last Saturday,
when Mrs. Vaughn went TO look at the
bonds for the purpose of drawing inter
est on the coupons, to her surprise she
found that four United States bonds of
the denomination Of $50 each had dis
appeared from among the other papers.
There is no clue whatever to the thief.
In taking the bonds the thief must
have unlocked the door Of the room, the
door of tue closet, and entering, opened
the box containing the papers aud after
that, re-fastened the lid and locked the
doors again. Mrs. Vaughn lives with
her two sisters, the Misses Sellers, and
none Of them have the least recollection
of anything that will lead to the discov-
cry of the thief. The police are mysti-
fed, and used every endeavor to keep
the matter from the reporters.

-Four dogs supposed to be mad were
killed by the poiice yesterday.
ST., 125 was cleared at the recent fair In
the basement OF st. Peters church. This

the managers arc deserving Of great
credit for the results.
The mud seems to he getting worse

The Supervisors.

Judge Brad ford's decision in the u.
s. Court, Saturday, on the Supervisor
subject, conclud ed as follows:
"If am right in my conclusion
would do great wrong in not making
these appointments; while if err in my
legal judgment no injury is done to any;
nor no mans rights are invaded or al.
fected injuriously, and ample oppotu
nifty will be given before full bench,
with full argument, to have this ques.
ton finally determined. shall, there
fore, make an appointment of Super
visors of Election, as suitable names
shall be presented to me by the Chief
Supervisor of Elections of this district"
1t will be seen by this that there is
still chance to determine this vexed
question in the higher Court. 1t should
be remembered that the Judge, in his
opinion, held that the Supervisors would
have right to scrutlnize the work of
revising the lists as done by the Lew
Court. An Impression had gone abroad
that the Supervisors would only deal
with the Assessors.

formed q reporter Of the GAZETTE, that
he had not seen money so plentiful for
two years past as it was at the present
time.
Applications from persons desiring to
become depositors were being made ev-
cry week, and so plentiful had money
become that the officers of the institu-
ton had refused to take over $4,000 on
deposit during the day. The institution
could find no Investments for the money
and were therefore obliged to refuse to
take 1t on deposit.

THE MEETING OF THE MOROCCO MEN
SATURDAY NIGHT.

..... SATURDAY NIGHT.
The meeting called in S@nger Hall,
Saturday night, was one Of morocco tau
ners and beamsmen, but when the hour
OF commencement drew near it was
found that there was but four or five
tanners, and about fifty dressers present.
The tanners at once concluded to aban-
don the idea of holding meeting, in
order to give the dressers q chance to Or
ganize. IN
The result was that the dressers at
once formed q permanent organization
for mutual protection, with Hamilton
Maxwell as president, ,and Hugh Sweeny
as Secretary. The meeting was not held
for the purpose of institnting or encour-
aging q strike, but simply for the object
OF generally aiding the interests of the
ci aft. Quite a number of Intelligent
morocco dressers were present and
made addresses, in which they urged the
idea of permanent organization as a
good thing, but declared they would not
remain 10 it If 1t would be used to create
unpleasant relations between employer
and workmen. 1t is not likely that the
