opportunity offered, and telling him con-
tidentiaily that he would like TO have him
keep an eve on the other men and see that
jhey did the fair thing" by the city. The
Judge thought it was an excellent scheme
to hasten the work along. but Yesterday he
was inclined to believe that he had made
mistake, as he had appointed them all
" bosses, and a " boss cannot be expected
to take hold of his labor like an ordinary
employc,
About 80 \. N. yesterday local officer
May saw a man in the alley between and
J, Fourth and Fifth streets, and concluded
to interview him. As he approached he
heard 4 noise as of bottles striking together,
and on ovcrhauling the individual disC0v-
cred that his pockets We're full Of empty
pint bottles, of which he had eleven about
him. These he claimed to have purchased
for cent apiece. In a conversation with
the officer he tangled himself up To such
an extent that he was taken into custody.
While on the way to the station-housc,
going through Second street. between | and

recently, aud has been furnished with food
A little female terrier, whose owner is nov
in the County Jail, also attempted 10 be-
come a steady boarder AT the same place
as ii We're lis doors she saw her master
enter last, but her presence was not
deemed desirable, and she was driven
away. One of the TRUSTEES noticed few
days ago that the setter ate very little of
the food furnished him, but generally car;
ried large portion of it into the yard ad-
joining the Jail on the west, the gate of
which IS always open. One day he fol-
lowed the dog, saw him bury the meat
though il was hard work, owing TO his
lame paw, and then 20 oil and hunt up
the terrier, which he took to the place
where tie meat was buried, and allowed
her to cat il. This he has been observed

disappeared from the vicinity under the
perSuasivcncss al the driving administered.
THE lIANcHETTE REcrTAL.-The piano
recital given last evening at the Congrega-
tional Church by Miss Estelc Hanchctte
was one of the most successful, in point of
merit. that has been given in this city.
Certainly not since Kctten appeared here,
has any one presided in public at the piano
with such ability to enrapturc critical
audience. In fact, it may he said that Miss
Hanchette displays perhaps. as compared
with kettcn am equal degree of briliancy
and power in execution as well as most
exquisite touch and sweetness in subdued
passages. while her case and graCeiulnoss
in performing the more difficult scores
were most delightful, and in marked con-
trast with the pronounced demonstrations
