MILK and 1ftS

A correspondent says: The fact of find ing a lizard in the milk that one Is about to drink is such a sad and unusual experience that we are at loss whether to feel more disgust for the reptile or sympathy for the young man who was about becoming the vic tim of misplaced confidence But really if & milk vender is about to introduce lizards 0d infnjtlm, it does seem as if he ought not to be allowed to pine in seclusion and obscurity Such large and uncalled for liberality seems to require that all the main facts in the case should be duly recorded. Milk is so seldom watered that when it is most people demand and require that the water should be pure but if all the primordial forms of the human species are to be commingled witt the 1acteal fluid, it is evident that the subject assumes serious and grave aspect. It might tend to make the evolution theory more repulsive, but we doubt whether it would improve the quality of the milk. True indeed, under such circumstances, children would have more opportunity to study the form and habits of the lower order of reptiles, the milk business would be more lively, and if children inquired how many strange things got into Noahs ark they might be told that it is not at all surprising when Q lizard gets into a milkman's can, notwithstanding the well known fact that they never use water.

Cedar Hill.

The entertainment given at Cedar Hill Union mission chapel on Wednesday evening by the Sanford orators and Denison's orches- tra was eminently successful. It was evident from the number of people present that a good entertainment was expected, which ex- pectation was fully realized. The parts pre- sented by the speakers and the music by the orchestra gave evidence of good ability. The ladies of the mission contributed greatly to the enjoyment of those hungry in the way of sumptuous repast which was partaken of at the close of the entertainment.

TOM n,HIIAIR

TOM THUMB,
 General Tom 1homU and wife with Major Newell and the other attractions drew a crowded house at Pecks Grand Opera House last evening The gallery was packed and there was large audience on the floor below. All were delighted with the entertainment. Every afternoon and evening this week the company will appear at the same place. HE VOYAGE FEN SUISSE"
 The Hanlon brothers have decidedly novel entertainment in the play entitled 'Ie Voyage en Suisse It is void of plot, but furnishes enough of ridiculous situations to make up for that. An adventurer having married the sweetheart of young Irishman through false representations, and having an other wife, is about to start on his wedding journey through Switzerland. The disap pointed lover, together with @ fond parent and score more or less, of relations resolve to follow the pair, make the honey, moon a lively one and rescue the bride, she having been informed of the trick played upon her and entering into the scheme. That they follow out their intention was evident from the bursts of laughter which came from the audience last evening. The tum- bling over of 8 stage coach, dumping passen- gers and baggage, partly prepared the au dience for the fun that was to follow, but their anticipations of iveliness in a compartment of a railroad car must have fallen far short of what was really the case and the final smash up was realistic enough to make one feel comfort able in his seat The agility of the Hanlon brothers is certainly wonderful and their tumbling and jumping with the quickness of a cat through the windows, doors, and in fact all over the car, would lead one to fairly question whether they had any bones or not Their talents in this line are no less marked in the next act which represents dining at a country inn, and the difficulties under the circumstances are portrayed in 8 manner that keeps the audience in state of expect ancy which is relieved only by successive roars of laughter. The fun is kept up throughout the play, which is certainly well worth witnessing, This and to morrow even ings it will be repeated, and tomorrow there will be a matinee.

Not Down in the Bills.

As the Knights Templar were marching up State street Wednesday, 8 large white cat jumped from window in Bingham's & Dodd's hthographic establishment, fourth story, and landed in the street. The distance of her jump must have been fifty feet. But she was not stunned. With tail erect she ran quickly through the postottice yard and hid under some rubbish, being only deslrous of escaping from the gleamlng swords of the Knights and the uncatry music of the band -H07tf0rd IEnes.

Reckless Pistol IShooting-Narroxv Escape
 from Fatal Result.
 A startling occurrence took place about noon yesterday in the rear part of the house No. 12O York street, the residence of Prof A, c. Loveridge, Of the Yale Business Col lege His little son, eighteen months old was standing at the window when pistol ball from a neighboring yard dashed through the pane of glass only two inches above the child's head. It made hole of about one and half inches in diameter, scattering bits of glass upon the little one's head and the floor. A young sister, about thirteen years old, and her playmate Miss P. were in the room. The former snatched the boy from the window unhurt, though narrowly escap ing death from the missile. The ball struck the door opposite with such force as to ina bed itself partly into the wood, dropping or bounding back upon the floor. It is of conf cal shape, fattened where it struck on the lead part, the brass part gone. It is just like those used in the very dangerous toy pistols The sale of these, it thus appears, continues ill spite of their fearfully dangerous nature The two boys Gold enough to know better) stood looking at the window after the shoot ing.

 The New York Heau5d says in notes of the Malley trial: Queer place this, where jurors, judges, prisoners and sheriffs dine together and the law of the land is defined and applied by the gentlemen of the jury. This, by the way, is curious fact Imagine the scene-Locality, the Tontlne dining room. Enter, first, two deputy sherifs and two men on trial for murder. Handcuffed?
 Oh! bless you, no In they come and take prominent seats. With them is the father of one of them. Every waiter in the room is crazy to wait on them mere patrons can get what they want when they can Shortly after, in comes the judge before whom they are tried He sits at an adjoin- ing table, when presently two counsellors for the defence sit by him. Then come the jur- ors. Isn't it queer to New York eyes? I should say SO

That Badger Again--An Alarmed Girl.
 Maxwell Evarts' badger which was trap. ped out of the sewer Wednesday night, was taken yesterday morning to MT. EVarts room, 90 High street. A number of Yale stu. dents had great publication over the cap ture. During the forenoon it was found that the troublesome animal had escaped from the trap He removed a number of bricks about the re-place and tried in vain to escape from the room in that way. He then took to the chimney. A number of students and few dogs tried to dislodge him, but without suc- cess Later in the day the animal descended into the kitchen. A servant girl was in the room, and sundry screams from her brought the family to the rescue. The door was shut and all the ladies found themselves shut 1T with the animal, which seemed intent on tear ing up the carpets. A great ado occurred finished by the arrival of MT. Evarts from his recitation, who secured the animal and locked 1t up.
