yard Sunday nights and the rumpus attract
ed Special Policeman Gibbons. He tried
to break up the picnic, when Dorm left off
pounding the other fellows and turned on
the officer. They were all waltzed to the
tower and yesterday Dorm was sent over
for ten days. The others were dismissed.
Great preparations are being made for

ing. A varied and interesting programme

Michael Barrett had been collared by the
strong grip of the law under circumstan-
ces of a highly suspicious nature. When
arrested he was in the very act of climbing
through the window of dwelling near the
Manitoba round house. The dwelling was
occupied by lone, lorn lady, and she
was quite naturally very badly frightened.
The fact was that Michael had taken sew
eral bowls too many, and he really mag
ined that he was making an entrance to
his own house. Yesterday the lady want
ed him committed for year, instead of
which he was taxed $25. He produced the
coin.
Yesterday afternoon Beaupre & Keogh's
double team, used to deliver goods in st.
Paul, started down Fort street on run
away of pretty extensive proportions. AS
the animals came tearing down Third
they came in contact with sleigh in front
of Geo. Benz place, belonging to Mr..
Haggenmiller, and smashed it all in pieces.
They continued on down Third and at
every jump they left barrel of sugar or
a Jug of syrup, or something else equally
as sweet and pleasant, all along the route.
1t was lively runaway and caused people
on Third street to hustle around to get out
of the way.
The st. Paul Choral society gave pub
lie rehearsal at the Opera house last night
preparatory to the second grand concert
by the organization, to be given at the
same place tonight. The parquet circle
was comfortably filled with auditors last
night and the ensemble of the society never
appeared to better advantage. The solos
and concerted numbers were given with
marked finish and the chorus was in adj
mirable spirit and fine working order.
The programme is varied and pleasing,
and its in the hands of the best aggregation
of musical talent ever gotten together IN
st. Paul. On the whole to-night's concert
promises to afford a rich musical treat.
We have before US ''Travels from Ocean
to Ocean and from the Lakes to the Gulf"
by Amos a GottsschalI, very interesting
work of 2S7 pages. The writer crowds
into his little book twelve years. expert
ence as rowing journeyman printer, and
he makes good deal out Of his travels.
He is pretty well known in this city, hav-
ing worked for j. j. Lemon and other
firms. He is an easy writer; sees every
thing passing; keeps the attention of the
reader, and his moral is good, viz: "a
rolling stone gathers no moss" and in this
he has the hearty verdict of all tramp
printers, who, at advanced years, see the
folly of roaming, but generally too late
to recover the good they have lost.
