Joseph Mcdonald Bound Over to the
 Superior Court For Burglary
 About six o'clock last night James Sheridan, who lives at 51 Washington street, over Michael Russel's saloon, had occasion to go to the cellar. He heard a noise and upon Investigating discovered Joseph Mcdonald in the place. He also found that keg of beer had been rolled from Russelrs cellar outside the storm door, which had been broken open Sheridan notified Russell and the latter coming down spoke to Mcdonald, who was in the rear yard, but received no reply. While Russell went for an officer Mcdonald attacked Sheridan, knocking him down and pounding him. Officer Cahey placed Mcdonald under arrest. This morning he said he was trying to get into RusselPs saloon to obtain a drink, when he found the keg of beer outside and the door broken. He was fined S7 and costs for assault, $7 and bonds for burglary.
 For the past six months Miss Julia Ryan, one of Brooklyn's most popular young ladies, has been annoyed by Swede named George Bardis, who has followed her repeatedly and made her life miserable. She could not leave the house at any time during the day or night without meeting Bardis, who in- suited her with his attentions. Bardis on several occasions has insisted that she marry him or he would kill her. One at least of Brooklyn's young men, be it said to his credit, has given Bardis a thrashiug. This had no effect on him. for he continued his acts. Last Friday capped the climax, when he seized the lady by the arm and threw her against a tree. She escaped from him and con- suited a lawyer. The lawyers letter | was handed to Bardis, who tore it up A warrant was then issued for his ar rest. Miss Ryan was extremely nervous when she took the stand and related her story. Her account of the continued insults inflicted upon her at the hands Bardis, caused almost every one in the court room a desire to inflict summary punishment on the scoundrel in the box.
 Miss Mary Dumphy, a friend of Miss \ Ryan, Anton Soneskt and Officers Mo Carthy and Sullivan all corroborated her testimony. Judge Bradstreet did not at first know what to do with the prisoner. but finally fined him S10 and costs and placed him under $500 bonds to keep the peace.
 Michael Hennessey for drunkenness
 was fined S5 and costs this morning. He has been arrested several times, but has always escaped on suspended judgment by giving an assumed name.

A HUMAN SNAKE.
A Prisoners Little Trick to Get Out of
 Jail Fails to Work

A Prisoners Little Trick to Get Out of
 Jail Fails to Work.
 Don Juan St Carlos, a snake charmer, confined in the Bridgeport jail, has been giving free histrionic performance at that institution with the hope of being transferred to the Bridgeport hospital, where it would be easy for him to es- cape. While at work in the caning de- partment, St Carlos suddenly fell to the floor and distorted his body in horrible manner. He squirmed and wriggled like snake and crawled on his stomach the entire length of the workshop, about 150 feet. The prisoners were awe stricken, they became excited and in a few moments St Carlos had the entire workshop to himself, while his fellow prisoners looked on him with fear. Every few moments St Carlos would dart his head back and forth with light ming like rapidity, he would hiss and his tongue would extend at a remark able length from his mouth. The jail officials, with the assistance of several prisoners, made rush for St Carlos to overpower him. They found he possessed the strength of a p1aniac.
 This performance was continued with variations at intervals for several days, but his shamming was at last exposed by the application of hot iron to the end of hisspine by physician while five men held him. Then he screamed and begged to be let up. He took his ex. posture very sheepishly and is now the most diligent workman in the jail. ?

A Monstrosity Caught with Hooks fin an
 Ohio Creek.
 A small boy living on the banks of Eagle creek, very fond of fishing with trot lines, the other morning went out to run his line, says a Neel (O.) cor respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Finding one end of it broken loose from it's place, he got in his boat and crossed to the other side of the creek to find the other end of his line.
 Taking hold of .A and giving it little pull he thought hS had huge fish. He called for help tc save it and man came to help him, and when they got to it they found alarge animal about eight feet and half long, with sixteen legs andufour eyes. He had caught himself on the hooks, and had eleven large hooks fastened in his body. After a long and severe struggle they got the animal ashore.
 He seems to be very quiet animal, and will be easily tanned. They now have him tied with a rope, and with a slow, steady pull he will crawl out on the bank and lay for short time, and then go back into the water.
 He has a head somewhat like a horse, neck like dog, sl.ort, thick legs and a short tail He is of dark brown color, with short, fine hair. He has six toes on his front and hind feet, and only our on the rest of his feet. He meas, urcs five feet four inches around the body behind the front legs, and tapers gradually back, and measures two feet ten inches in fnDnt of the hind legs His nostrils are much larger than those of horse, and he makes noise like 8 d uclz, only great deal louder.

Some of the old Long Island towns were
settled by Puritans from across the sound
in Connecticut. In the musty records of
some of these places are to be found ordi-
nances which bear so much of a likeness to
the Connecticut blue laws as to leave the
historical iconoclast who says those laws
never existed little ground upon which TO
stand.
The good townspeople of Brookhaven,
in Suffolk county, met in 1874 ten years
after New York had passed from the hands
of Petrus Stuyvesant and was enjoying
the rule of the merry James of York, and
passed this resolution;
