SALTWATER GLOBULES.

The funeral of the wife of Rufus Blan-
chard occurred yesterday morning from
her late home in this city.
Among the motley array of petty offend
ers at the police court yesterday morning
were four big, able bodied vagabonds,
who evidently would rather starve than
work. They were ordered to leave town
forthwith
The wigwam was filled to OVERLOOKING on
Monday evening. 1t is now apparent that
a great mistake was made in not building
the building larger in the first place.
Every evening since the opening people
have went away unable to obtain admis-
sion.
1t is very probable that a number of
the light fingered gentry and rogues of all
kinds will be in the city on the days of the
| races. Chief Shortall and the police force
will do all in their power for the protection
of property. At the same time, Mr. Short
all suggests that the people be on their
guard, especially against pick pockets on
the race grounds.
Of course the citizens of Saltwater were
| pleased to see the people from Hastings
yesterday, but on the next visit please
don't hire the tug Longfellow to tow the
| barge unless the owners of the boat pro-
vide new steam whistle, for of all the
hideous. outrageous, bowling noises made
| yesterday in sounding the return, 1t surely
was enough to destroy the pleasure of the
excursionists on their home journey.
The Baptist Sunday school of Hastings,

and various members of the congregation
made an excursion to this city yesterday.
arriving here about three o'clock in the
afternoon. After couple of hours spent
IN visiting friends, the return signal was
sounded. As the tug with her barge in
tow sounded to pass the draw, vigoreus
waving of handkerchiefs occurred on the
part of the visiting ladies, which with
the excellent music of the band accompan-
ing the visitors and the lively demonstra-
lions aforesaid most pleasing scene was
presented.
Mr.. Vim. Fisher is an adopted citizen.
but he is of the opinion that this is no
| longer free country, when man is COM
PEELED to pay $25 for whipping his wife,
as was the case with Mr.. Fisher yesterday.
But he seems to forget that he has only
been fined once. whereas he has thrashed
his better half great many times
which would reduce the amount for each
particular offense to a mere nothing. It
is evident that Mr.. Fisher was aware that
| fogging ones wife was a violation of law
or he would not have run off at full speed
when the officer was seen approaching.
The Rev. Father Murphy. of this city.
has probably as large stock of patience
as the generality of people, but the vex.
atious disappointing he has experienced
regarding the chime Of bells ordered for
st. M1chaePs church may well nigh have
exhausted his supply of the above named
| virtue. AS is pretty we'll known, Mr.. Muir
ply has made every possible exertion to
get the chimes here, but he has been put
off from time to time with excuses, first
| one thing and then another, the last one
being to the effect that two of the bells
were on trial and found to be defective
rendering recast necessary. But if the
manufacturers have the most remote re-
! gard for their word the bells will chime
| here on the Fourth of July
