600, and other conditions of strength and

DIR. Valerius & Co. sold this week the
Clydesdale stallion Cromar Major, Vol.
XI, to Rich. g. Jones, Cambria. Con-
sideration, $1,000. This is a very pro-
missing stallion, and Mr.. Jones exercised
very good judgment in securing the ami
NAL. We shall be surprised if this horse
is not heard from again in the near
future.
Some persons evidently have the
idea that Main street is race course,
from the fast driving they do 90 the
thoroughfare, making it ve:y dangerous
for those crossing the street, and especially
for children. There was considerable OF
this running of horses on the street Sun
day. Such fast driving III the city is in
violation of an ordinance that it might be
well to enforce.

The opening lecture last evening in
the Y. NJ. G. A. course, by Hon. Geo. E.
Sutherland, on "The Negro in the Rebel
Iion'' was a fine production. Notwith-
standing the stormy weather every seat
was occupied and the speaker was listened
to with marked attention, while he traced
with great clearness and force the relation
the black man bore to the late war, giving
him high place OF the roll of honor and
a distinction during trying period of
our history worthy of emulation.

Saturday afternoon last, Mrs. Mary
O'Malley, residential the Seventh ward,
while on her way home walking on
the St. Paul track east of the depot,
was struck by the engine OF freight
train breaking one of her ribs and injur-
ing her on the head. She had a very
narrow escape from being killed. No
blame can be attached to the train en-
ployes, as she started to cross the track
from behind the 4:30 passenger train and
was not seen until the engine was fairly
! ON to her. DIR. Spalding is attending
her.
