Notes About Town.

The tobogRan slide has been straightened.
making it better than ever. A shed has been
erected at the top of il and walk made from
the bottom TO the top with steps wherever
necessary. A man has been employed to
take charge of IL and viii allow only MEM
bers of the club to slide on it. The presi-
dent, DR.. Alex. Donald, has had a handsome
red badge printed for members OF the club,
which he is distributing gratuitously. He
had ESQ printed. Members of the club and
persons who want tickets for the slide should
call at Dur6ut & Wheeler's office. The sum
of 81 will secure a membership and the priv
ilege of sliding at all times. Quite a number
of persons tried the slide yesterday and Tues
day night, and pronounce it much better than
before it was reconstructed.
Mr.. william Lee Howard, who lectures to-
night before the Y. NJ. c. A, will, in the

account OF the present ice carnival, aud the
arrival of the Greeiy relics, this part OF the

is that Judge Nethaway did exactly right in
filming Smith so heavily.
