night Harry Brown, who had been on a
protracted spree, grew very disorderly
while at his mothers house, though
she AYERS she was doing everything she
could for his comfort, and began to
break up housekeeping in earnest,
Shattered glassware jingled, crippled
chairs danced about, and article after
article was demolished by his fists and
heels. A young man who was in the
house at the time undertook to pacity
him, but soon found himself the victim
of an assault ON the part of Brown, who
appeared bereft of reason. His mother
sought the protection of the police and
Officers Belts and Arlington soon had
the refractory man in their charge,
This morning he was placed in the
dock at police headquarters where his
another appeared and testified to the
above facts, stating also that she was
apprehensive for her personal safety, as
this was the third time her son had
endeayored to demolish everything in
the house. Brown was fined SO, and

CITY iail until next September.

SHOOTING WooDcocK.-The item in
Yesterdays GAZETTE concerning the
superstitious gunner who met a crcs:,
eyed man, concluded it was an etii
omen aud returned home, brings 10
mind the fact that it is unlawful to
shoot woodcock between the months OF
April and November. Had the Nimroc
proceeded on his intended hunt he may
have encounted more serious opposition
than cross-eyed man in the shape OF
some minion of the law in Fairfax coun-
ty, who would have enforced certain
section of the code against him.

the modification of having their plans
frustrated yesterday by the mother Of

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.-Au adjourn
d meeting of the Board of Aldermen
was held last night. Seven members
we're present.
The board was called to order about
airb, o'clock, and after the minutes
Of the last meeting were read and APP
Mr.. BRYANT, from the committee on
streets. presented several reports on
pcttIons, etc, which had been referred
10 them. The reports were adopted,
after Mr.. B. had explained their i'm
The appropriation bill, which had
been passed by the Common Council
Tuesday night, was read and their ac-
,jon concurred in and an hour was
consumed in the reaching of other pr
pcrs most of them yoluminous(
which had been acted on by the lower
board. Their action was concurred
in without debate.
Mr.. Leadbeater presented a petition
of scveral merchants for the erection of
an electric light on the strand between
King and Prince streets, and explain
ed the utility of a light in that place.
He urged immediate action.
Mr.. Bryant moved that the petition
he referred to the committee on light,
with power to act. A light should be
placed at the point indicated, or any
where along the strand, provided the
capacity OF the works is sufficient to
run more lamps.
Mr.. Burke thought the light should
be placed at the street intersections.
The placing Of them in the middle OF
squares looked too much like i!lumi-
mating private property. If the steam
boat companies needed the light they
should pay for it.
Mr.. Lindsey thought the light should
be erected on the alley running from
Union street to the Strand.
Mr.. Hinken didn't want it placed in
front of Reeds ice house.
Mr.. Goodrich favored Mr.. ants
motion.
Mr.. Leadbcater explained why a
light should be placed in the ncighbor-
hood of the wharyes where excursion
steamers landed.
Mr. Hinkeu believed light at the
foot of King street would answer all
purposes.
Mr.. Goodrich could not see how the
light would be for the special benefit
of any one. 1t would be u public con-
venienCe.
Mr. Bryant's motion was adopted.
Mr.. Leadbeater presented an ordi-
nance directing the Superintendent Of
Police to have all alianthus trees re-
moved from the streets Of the city by
the first of next December. He refer
red to the fact that such trees had
been removed in other places; that
they were akin to nuisance and emit
ted an unpleasant odor Should they
be removed by December time would
be allowed for the planting of other
trees. There had, the speaker said,
been attempts made in former years to
have these offensive trees removed
from the streets, and he consulted
several persons in regard to the matter
and concluded to introduce the order.
The paper was referred to the COM
mittee on streets.
Mr.. Goodrich introduced a resolu-
ton which was adopted directing the
Superintendent of Police to have two
crossings laid at the intersection OF Lee
and Cameron streets.
The board then adjourned.
