The party who wrote up string of
'horse news" (!) for the Courier last
week imposed upon that journal and
necessarily its readers in several of his
statements, notable among which was
that ED. Stamboul" went Through
Main street the other day at 2:2O

charge of Stamboul that the colt had
not been away from his stable in thirty
days, and he thinks the Courier man
must have been talking through his hat.
The planets Venus and Jupiter were

until they sank out of sight At the
time of contact Venus was to pass Ju
piter, moving eastward. A similar
conjunction occurred on the Goth of
July, 1859, but no person living to-day

thimbleful of brains or grain of de-

gettleman to stand upon such dirty,
dingy stage as that ut our opera house

cover up part of it. The paragraph
referred TO was studied insult to the
ladies of the lecture course, who have
taken so much pains to give us inter-
esting, instructive and pleasing enter
tainments. w.
