A gloom was cast over our city yesterday
by the death of Mrs. Laura Goldberg, the

iury are still in session; look wise and say
nothing.-The criminal docket was called
over this morning and few cases
set for trial. At the last term
of the court the Grand jury found twenty
three indictments, most Of them of trivial
nature. The offenses, no doubt, arose from
An Ignorance Of the revenue laws instead OF
disposition to violate them,-General A.

lecture last night at Taylor opera-hall., His
subject was Brazil" 1t was listened to
with marked attention BY the audience
There were only four courts in session here AT
one time last week. Uncle Mike says that
''comes nearer to perpetual motion Than any
thing he ever saw tried" --Our city some
time ago lupsed back into its native state and
dispensed with city officials and
city government, and have been living under
that peaceful regimen ever since, but the
County Judge recently issued a proclamation
requiring the several wards 10 elect two AL
dermen each, and the election came on yes
terday, according to law. Your reporter Is u
citizen of ward number three, and at the
usual hour repaired to the usual place the
Engine House on Market street, to exercise
the franchises, etc. He found the sacred ed

ers. and tcnated only by y vener-,

the assets Of the corporation when it went
into liquidation. Billy was chewing tine

ious expression that II statesman does when
he is deyising some plan to pay otl the pub
