Cruelty to Animals.

tied the San Pedro Springs yesterday
and Seeking amusement commenced
teazing some Of the animals belonging
to the menagerie. The cayote and one
of the bears became special objects of
attraction, and after poking the cayote
with sticks until they were tired. they
sat down near one of the chained bears,
and after enticing bruin with nuts took
out their pocket knives, and when bruin
approached TO get what he thought
would be a toothsome dainty, he re-
ceived instead sharp scratch on his
nose from these gentlemen's knives,
making the bear howl with pain and
rage. The unusual noise the animal
made caused Mr.. Kerbel 10 ascertain the
cause of it, which did not take very long,
and resulted in the arrest of both of

The official terms of four of our city
Alderman will expire with this month,
viz: Gallagher, Schreiner. Lockwood
and Pauly. 1t is claimed, however. that
these parties are justified in holding
their seats for a further period of Is
months. although the charter has been
amended since they were elected by the
people. Several legal gentlemen of this
city, in speaking of this question, main
tain that there is no power in law where
a body of public officers can extend their
term of office when they have been
elected by the people. This does not
apply to members of body whose duty
it is to order an election, but if they fail
to do so and make such an extension,
that body and all its subsequent acts be-
come Illegal.

Almost a Fire.

What might have been serious con-

was ayerted in its incipiency yesterday
about y o'clock in the yard of the Gille-
land residence, on Kingsbury street.

tempted to burn the dead grass and
fired it promisCuOusly. The fire grew
uncomfortable under the strorg wind
blowing and reached the house and had
caught the lattice work about the foun-
dations OF the dwelling ere some gentle
men Of the neighborhOOd came to the
assistance Of the frightened ladies and
eXtinguished the flames with few
buckets of water. There are large
number of frame houses in the immedi.
ate neighbOrhOOd, which could have

Imperial Cadets.

The Fashion Theatre was filled with q
very large audience last evening, and
this was due, in a great measure, to the
fact that it was the first appearance of
the Lady Imperial Cadets and Military
Company, who have been specially ell
gagged by Messrs. Simms & Samuels for
five nights. The entrance of the cadets
in Hussar costume was the signal for q
whirlwind OF applause, which was re-
peated at frequent intervals as the excel
lenGe of the evolutions struck the spec
tators and called forth spontaneous adj
miratiOn. They appeared twice during
the evening and gave perfectly sep-
arate drill each time. These young
ladies claim they cannot be equalled, and
they challenge, for a purse of $3.50, COM
petition by any local, civic or military
company. After seeing their evolutions
last evening it can be asserted that they
are by no means likely to lose $3.50 in
this city, their wonderful accuracy pre-
Guiding such possibility. Bertrand, the
skater also appeared and executed some
very clever skatorial feats. Mr.. James
Neary also appeared and give his eccen-
trio song and dance, concluding with
his challenge clog. Messrs. Morton and
Mullaney, whom we have before noticed
as being the neatest song and acrobatic
dance team that have ever appeared at
the Fashion Theatre. A host OF other
attractions were presented, but pressure
on space prevents them being men
toned. The Lady Imperial Cadets
were admirably commanded by Miss
Clara Lawrence, and their engagement
was happy stroke of management.
