500 A good deal Of fun is expected.
ANOTHER case Of death rattle insurance
was currently rumored to have come to light
last night, but as Is always the fact IN like
cases, the reports do not rest upon substan-
tial enough basis to justify disqualification
The revenue stamps stolen from Thomas
IOnes's boy on Wednesday by some depraYed
street gamin, were found yesterday near the

deyiltry.

CONSIDERABLE complaint Is made OF the
faulty heating apparatus at the Third ware
schools. Many parents have taken theil

for display they were very brittle aud would
easily break, besides losing something Of
their color. The new way is to take the
leaves without pressing them, and form
them into wreatlis or any other shape lesira.
Bile ind leave tho atmosphere to dry them.
Then they retain their cOlcr forever and
ever. Another method Is TO gather them
with the dew on their surface and place them
