opened by'Prof. Salmon, who gave recital,
and who pronounces the instrument good
one. He was assisted by the following we'll

ANUMBER of ladies and gentlemen known
in scholastic, medical and legal circles in
the two cities propose to make the acquis1-
tfon of French an object during the winter
months. Prof. Parker, the weliknown
French scholar, has been frequently re-
quested to establish an evening class for the
convenience of those whose time is occu-
pied during the day, and he thinks the oe-
sire to learn "la langue diplomatique is so
general that he has decided to give lesson
every Monday evening from 7:30 O'Clock TO
1880 o'clock during the next nine months.
The Fourth ward school rooms have been
granted by the directors for the purpose,
and the opening lesson will be given next
Monday.
The entertainment given by the Epworth
League at the Arch Street NJ. E. Church last
evening was most enjoyable. Miss Ellen
Pershing read selections from Dickens
works with much humor and pathos, and
there was q general discussion as to the ex-
act shades of meaning to be attached to diff
ferent passages in the great authors works.
There was very large attendance.

1t does not pay to cross the path of an
Ogdensburg woman. A party of railroad
employees were having game of ball near
the r., w. and o. Depot in that city early
Saturday evening. Accidentally the ball
was thrown into the yard of a house near
by and at the door appeared the woman of
the house, who name is Mrs. de Lair, says
tie Utica On. - Observer. She ordered
the men to go away from in front of the
promises. but they did not do so and in
stead invited her out to play with them.
She returned to the house and in moment
appeared at the door with a shotgun in her
hand This is the kind OF ball I'll play"
she shouted, and fired point blank at the
ball-players. One of them, Frank McGraw,
a conductor, was hit in the leg. He was
at once conveyed TO a doctors Office and
eighteen No. 4 shot were extracted from his
leg.
Mrs. de Lair was arrested aud with her
ten-months-0ld baby confined in the Police
Station. She is about % years of age and

There is little doubt that the woman had
some provocation. Almost any one can

WASHINGTON, May 20.-In the case Of the

Philetus o. Tyler, on appeal from the Conn
miSsioner's decision allowing Tyler to trans
mute to homestead entry his pre-emption
filing in the Shasta DiStrict-now Redding-
Acting Secretary Chandler says: The
alleged settlement of Tyler, while the said
tract was Withdrawn from settlement and
entry, was Illegal and could give him no
equitable claim to said land Moreover,
said selection segregates said land, and until
the selection is disposed of no subsequent
entry or filing should be allowed. 1he de-
clsiOn is accordingly modified and said ap-
pllcatlOn to tTanSmute will be suspended,
and said Tyler will be notified to show
cause why his said filing should not be cam
celed. If Tyler can show that at the date
of said withdrawal said tract was excepted
therefrom, then his settlement prior to
said selection, would except the land there
from and there would be no objection to
allowing him to tTansmute to homestead
entry, otherwise his settlement must be
declared illegal and his filing Cancelled.
