ROUGH ON THE CUsToMERs.-Ay young man
who has long driven the milk wagon of one
of the oldest established diaries of this coun-
ty, and has supplied milk to its customers for
years, yesterday, early, came to his employer.
and to his great surprise resigned his situa.
ton. He had no other place. had no COM
plant to make, was attached to his employer,
liked the business. and all that, but resign he
would 1t turned out that this was the
cause: Tuesday tie maid, whose duty it is
to fill the used cans of that day, poured them
full of water as they stood in the wagon, and
left them to stand twenty-fOur hours to
sweetep, as is the rule. Before day break
ysste driver brought out his team
and hitched - TO the wagon containing the
cans of water colored by the remains of milk,
instead OF to q second wagon in which the
fresh milk had been placed for him. Oblivious
of his error, he drcve over his entire route aud
served all the customers with milk colored
water. When, later in the day, he discov.
cred his error, he resigned rather than face
the battery Of the complaints he knew was
ready for Lin. Il can go up to a cannon's
mouth" said he, land let 'em shoot me in
two, but never want to set eyes again OF
house where [ served that water" His en-
ployer enjoys the joke hugely and was busy
all day yesterday setting things to rights and
explaining the error between his gasps for
breath from too much laughter. Some Of mis-
customers remarked that they had noticed
the milk wasn't quite as rich as usual.
A BREAK-One of the old six.inch water
pipes burst on Third street, between and K,
Tuesday. Workmen were engaged last night
in digging to reach the break. At 10 o'clock
the earth caved in, and nearly all they had
done all day proved to be lost labor Mean
while the water was shut of OF the whole
city after 10 O'clock last night, as the old
pipes are so cut up and plugged up now by
reason Of many breaks, that the only way
is to shut off the water supply from the
whole city in order to make the repairs. The
new pipes are arranged very differently. At
midnight it seemed scarcely probable that
the break would be closed before daylight.
This is the third break in the Third street
pipe within year.
CHINESE BANQUET.-A banquet was given
last evening by the members of the Congre-
gational Chinese Mission in this city to q
number of the prominent supporters and
friends of the Society. It was given both as
a part of the New Years feast and to show
their American friends some of the many
dishes which are included in the culinary art
of the Cslestials. A great humber of courses
were served, in a most approved manner, but
the English language is without words to con-
vey any idea Of their component parts or
their method of preparation. The occasion
was much enjoyed by those present.

regular meeting last evening, were visited by

breezes." Among those that seemed to be
having jolly time were Albert Gallatiu,
Judge S. @. benson, Joseph Stefens, E. +.
Smith, Byron McCreary, G. w. jackson and

quadrille was provocative of much laughter.
