THE ENERGY Of the fremen at the fire which
warmed the Crescent Office night before last, was 50
genuine and so thoroughly lively, that we cannot
easily forget 1t.


Perseverance No. 13 were holding 8 meeting,
wher the alarm reached them that the Camp street
printing Offices were in trouble. They put on their
shirts as they ran after their machine, which came
laundering like locomotive through Commercial
Place. The foreman, who with all the other boys
worked like Trcjans from first to last, never dis
covered till after the fire was over that be had put

! THIs is THE WEATHER to tell where dead body
| is. dreadful smell, yesterday morning, led the
people in house on Chartres street, between Main
and st. Philip, to discover that corpse was in one
of the rooms, which room had been supposed to be
empty 1t is an old, dilapidated frame house, in
which different poor people occupy rooms, in indie
pendence Of each other. The corpse, which was
much decomposed, proved to be that of Antonio
Canenarovitch, who had been employed in fruit
store or the levee, and who for week or two had
been drinking hard. On Sunday last, he was very
drunk, and friend helped him to the room, where
be left him. thinking be would sleep off his liquor and
get up and go home for he did not live there. The
Coroner investigated the case, and upon the above
facts rendered verdict of death by intemperance.
Deceased was native Of Dalmatia, 45 years of age.


TIE DOGS have need to keep their eyes skinned
now. The police last night began the spread of the
annual feast of poisoned meat, for the especial deu
sion and death of the vagrom CANNES. Those sleek
and magnificent wandering minstrels of the night
the Thomas Cats, should likewise sing less and pay
more attention to low.cunning for in year past
many gallant Thomas has met with premature
death in especially set for their mortal enemies
the Towsers.


The strychnine offering should have begun weel
ago, but could not because the necessary quantity
of poisoned meat could not readily be obtained will
the sum appropriated by Council for the purpose
The meat was distributed around at the different po


lice offices last evening" in brown paper parcels done
up mathematically square the parcels to be divided
out in doses Of proper size, among the police We
understood that the meat was not to be left lying


loose in the Streets but that the police during their


leisure, were to offer it to the dogs personally and to
keep it for another bait should the last dog be full
or suspicious and refuse to accept.


1t is hard to have to treat dogs They are natu
rally friendly and confdng; they never steal only
for something to eat they never get drunk and make
beasts of themselves never pick pockets or breaA
into houses; never commit perjury willfnl murder
and never interfere with the human race only upon
bad education of human incucation, or under the
influence Of malady for which they are not ndivid
ually or doggshy responsible. Doesn't it smack oil
treachery, to come the Lucretia Borgia over such
race of animals? But, unfortunately, the dogday
malady and the cumbersome populatveuess of the
ours, requires the biped community to declare wal
against them, and to cur-ta their number once
year.


Mad dogs, we hear, are about. One Of them crea
ted great panic on the levee in the Third Distric
yesterday afternoon. He ran aboard ship, ever,
body gave him wide swathe, and he finally ran int
the river and drowned.


PEOPLE TRAVELLING should be careful of the az
quaintances they pick up on the way. Mr.. ].
Burdinea gin'manufacturer from Georgia, arrived il
the city few days since. Coming over from Mobile
he got acquainted with nice companionable feoy
giving his name as Henry Barnett. They kept tc
gether on arrival Burdine during the day went to


brokers' office and got gold for lot of Georgia on
Alabama paper which did not pass at par here, an
his new friend was with him. That night they too
, lodgings in the same room in house on ST. Charlie
street. Next morning when Bnrdine woke up, hi
money, amounting to $780, was gone, and SO was hi
friend. He stated that although his friend was
good fellow, and did not look or act like thief b
still cautious of him. they being yet strangers
and in his caution, as he went to bed, he quiet
slipped his coat, which had the money in the breas
pocket into the armoir near the bed. He fancie


Barnett did not notice him but still being distrus
full, he laid awake most of the night, slept, so
speak, with one eye open," till near daylight whe
he fell sound asleep. When he woke, he discoyere
that his newlyfound friend had proven himself th
sharpest Of the two. Moral: when you travel, tres
every man as gentleman, but secretly set him dow
thief till you find he is actually gentleman o
as the postofice and the railroad depots say, Bewar
of Pickpockets!
