New Steamboat.

The Steamboat company are also negotiat- ing for a new iron passenger steamer. It was first intended to build 8 new wooden in Portland, and begin to work on her this year, but it was afterward decided to spend $1oo,0 GOO more and get an iron steamer. The latter would save large outlay in repairs in the long run, and with water tight compart- ments and made wholly freproof would be less liable to loss and injury. An iron boat would be 150 tons gross weight lighter than 6 wooden boat of the same dimensions, and require only seven feet draught heavily load ed. They are more easily managed than the wooden boats. The company propose to have all the accommodations to be found on can get here at o'clock every morning. Ha1ttord ITnaes

Police Notes.

Mir. Patrick Dugan, residing on Congress avenue, wishes the public to understand that he was not arrested for drunkenness or light ing Tuesday evening on the arrival of the Canal railroad train, and that he will prove before the court Friday that he paid his fare.
 Cornelius McNamee was arrested last night for the theft of two gold rings and pair of sleeve buttons. He is also charged with ob- taining goods under false pretenses, and other charges of late date are pending against him.
 Michael Kiernan was arrested last evening for breach of the peace out at Cedar Hill He claims that he was only defending an old man who was assaulted by another party. The facts will come out in the City Court this morning.
 An evening contemporary, under the head ing ''Oficer Phelps Poor Shot," misses fire worse than the officer did and should take better aim. The officer fired stone last Sat, urday morning at about 5 o'clock at the police dog which was pursuing milk wagon and barking, and the stone glanced on the pave ment and stove hole in one of the plate glass windows in 0. G. Kimberlys wholesale crockery store in Arnold's building, State street corner of Grown. How the glass was broken, the paper states, was mystery for several days until colored boy was heard of who, being found, stated that the officer did it. The account then says Captain Arnold confronted the officer yesterday Wednesday, and charged it upon him. and that the officer received reprimand at headquarters for neg lecting to report the matter, and was ordered to pay the full cost of 8 new window. The sscobble stone is at the store and is as big as hens egg. The off :er says he reported the mishap at the police office as soon as he could, and Monday forenoon at 9 o'clock went to Captain Arnold, stated the case and at Captain Arnold's suggestion visited several stores and got the figures of the proprietors for new pane of glass and drove back to Mr. Arnolds This certainly clears the off cer of blame.

The Toy Pistol.

There are several kinds of toy pistols in the market, but the one which does the most harm is barrel bored, uses blank twenty two cartridge, and it's explosive force is equal to that sized cartridge wherever used. The lock is cheap and constantly out of order and in trying to get the hammer stay cooked
 the thing is often discharged into the palm of
 the left hand, imhedding the powder and wads and making wound better calculated to produce tetanus than if it had been clear passage of 8 ball.
