known the gentleman failed to appear, to
| the great disappointment of the assem-
blage.
woman in the neighborhood of sixty
years old was before the court this morn

The old lady denied the charge, and the
case was continued until 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning.
A deaf and dumb man very much in
toxicated, was picked up by the police to-
day. Although he could not use his tongue
he made use of his head in bunting people
on the sidewalk with whom he wished to
speak Or quarrel.
Amel Thoralson, employed at the prison,
accidentally cut his left foot with an axe
while at work this morning. The injury

Some other mode of advertising should
be devised than that of scattering broad
cast on the streets large hand-bills. To-

A perambulating hardware merchant,
accompanied by his wife and son, made
their appearance on the street corners to-
| day. Soon after opening his stock in
trade he was surrounded by large crowd

Mr. O'Brien had quite an expensive

Persons who have not contributed to-
| ward the fund for charging the Methodist
church have no right to criticize the ap-
pearance of the building. Whether it
looks like Noahs ark or not is only the
business of those who have invested their
money in the work. Further, these fault
| finders can have no just conception of just
| how Noah's ark looked; consequently they
are not qualified to make such compare
sons. People can judge better when the
work is all completed.
| The boys had made extensive prepare
tions last night for serenading newly
married couple. Their musical instruments
were of the latest style, and no doubt the
| performers would have acquitted them
selves to the satisfaction of all concerned.
For some reason the band were mistrust-
full that their efforts would not be properly
appreciated, or possibly officer Costello
may have been around somewhere. Any
way the boys became disguised, and now
the cow bells and tin gongs are a dead
loss.
