AN APPROTRIATION OF $50,000 REFUSED. Sensarierp, I, Feb. 27.—The bill ap- propriating $50,000 to the Douglas Monument was up a8 a special order in the Semate. The Benators from Southern Ilinois were present and strongly advocated the bill through Tom Casey, their leader. He delivered a strong eulogy on the characters and lives of Lincoln snd Douglas, calling each the peer of the other. Mr. Waite explained that Mr. Gage's resigna- tion as Commissioner was in the hands of the Governor, which would obviate some objections held by Senators. - 3r. Whiting did not want to say that he was opposed to the perpetustion of the memory of great and good men: he would not say anything sgainst Mr, Donglas; he would nob say any- thing on the other side of the question, though ho would not Yoto for the bill. As msual he talked a long time without eaying anything, either wise or funny on the subject-maiter be- fore the Senate. All he did say was to insinuate 2 la modo that A BARGAIN EXISTED between the friends of the Soutbern Penitentia- ry and the movement, which was perhaps true. Mr. Casey ssked him, point-blank, if he in- tended to insinuate any sach nnderstanding. Mr. Whiting raised his feathers, and said that Cascy * could not brow-beat him."” ngt.?y repeated the question, walking toward ing. Wnicgug stammered a litilo, and said he would answer tho geutleman in his own way, went on with his talk, aud enid, after a littlo, that “such suspicions as thosa referred to Lad been widely enteriained. Mr. Owens followed, opposing the bill, with a eiticism on the political record of Douglas. Mr, Shepard opposed the biil because of the CONDITION OF THE STATE FINANCES, submitting the following intercsting statement from the Auditor : The amount duo to July 1, 1875, on sppropriation ‘heretofore made, and payable from tho general reve ‘zue fuhd, is as follows : Expenses'of the Tweaty-cighth General As- ...$ 50,000 Ab- ,000 101,354 336,353 Expenses of the Stato institation: . 1,047,585 Expenscs of the new State-Houss, * 500,000 AMiscellaneons expenses of printing, Execu- tive mansion, couveying convicts, otc.. 956 Total amount due toJuly 1, 1875. 2474233 Yo meet the mbove there now in the Treasury.

Voria threw himself in defenss of the Dlinois Central Railroad record of Douglas, and said that & larger amount than that named in the bill should be appropristed from tho revenuo the State derived from the Central x0ad to the honor of this manas A DEET OF IONOB. Mr. Hampton could not see the consistency be- tween refusing to confirm Prof. Turner and now passing a bill with Dave Gage's name in it. Ar, Canfield replied to Mr. Shepard (Chair- inan of the Appropriation Committee), and_tho statement purporting to come from tlo Auditor. Both were fallacious. _The Auditor's statoment was incarrect. A similarly incorrect and conser- vative statement was submitted last winter to the Committee, and he (Canfield) went to tho Auditor's clerks and convinced them that it was incorrect. Upon the basis of a corrected state- ment of the finances of the State, a bill was pre- pared making appropdations that could be met, ind among e appropriations then counted up- o0 and provided for was this u!:pmprimon. of £50,600. The statement was full of INCORRECT DETAILS. One was an_estimated amount of $200,000 for she Twenty-Ninth General Assembly, which pro- vides for & scssion of over 160 days,—undoubt- edly oxcessive unless & majority of theso lead- s are re-elected. An item not mentioned was tho unexpended balances of approprialions here- {ofore mado that will not be drawn. Ho was in tayor of the bill, Mr. Stecle made his erowning effort of pathos xvd eloguence in defense of the character and wcts of Mr. Douglas, but closed his speech by saying that tho appropriation was ill-timed on account of the financial condition of the Btate aud 1ts people. #The bill was lost by the following_vote, under 8 operation of the previous question : Teve Brown, Ganlach, Starne, Canfield, Hinchviiffe, Thompson, Catey, Hundley, Vorls, .

SPRINGFIELD, IIL, Feb. 27.—The contumacious Paino was at the bar of the House at 10 o'clock looking elightly penitent. A lotter from him nd another from Gor. Palmer wero read, stat- ing that since he had learned of the passage of slaw to protect him from being compelled to rrimipato himself he was willing to zuswer. TRountreo got on his legs in & rage that is unbe- coming to his style of beauty, sud rosred until Connotly brought him to time by s point of or- der, which compelled him to make a motion'that tho papers be laid on the table. " The Speaker answered that they wonld go on tho table any way. _Bozm p3id it was the biggest boo boo for the Littlest calf ho had ever eaw. Grey moved that the documents be rpturned whence they came, and the motion prevailed. Paino, having said Lo would answer the Committée iu the ovening, was turned loose. THOSE WHO MANAGED THE CASE 0 the part of the House acquitted themseclves quite creditably, particularly Dunbam, who proved nimself the ablest of the lot. Rountree minde a strong but labored ar- Eument, ana would hsve escaped With he mot persisted in ropounding _super- questions to Pguncr. Now Palmer docsn't gcare and overy question was turned 3gainst the intorrogator antil be must have felt like crawliug through & knot-hole, sod drawing e hole in after him. Moore, of Adams, fhe ** man of solemn voice,” ¥ho did_the Christianity in the case, was also roughly handled by Palmer. Shaw escaped b; Mg nothing, and Bradwell wisely esiiel w2y Dunham was the only one of the crowd almer scemed to have any respect for. L PAL PITCHED IN ALL EOGXD ving the ‘‘honorable House " and the * five arned aud distingnished lawyers " Hail Colum- besides taking a side wipe at the Rewspapars. This cage has cost timo and trouble, but it wil serve o 8 procedont, el PR x‘?n\:n's CCONFESSION. @ witness I'aine appeared this evening b fore tho Printing Committeo and told & strfnght forward story. Ho mado out a bid at less than the maximum rate. Bailhache offered him £1,000 not to put itin. He gave the bid to Mel- vin, tho banker, it being understood that they were to divide the profits in case they. got the contract. Metvin had an execution for $750 on Paiue’s printing-oflico. He waa surprised to find the bid was not put in. Soon after, Melvin re- leased him from the excention, which was equiv- alent to paying him $750. He supposed Melvin got §1,500, and gave him half; knew nothing of bidders selling out until he got the money. ~He lost thousands of dollars on the contracts for binding the Convention and geological reports. This ends tho famous contempt caze, and now, perhaps, tho House will buckle down to steady work, which has been interrupted and delayed for a weok. — COOK COUNTY AFFAIRS. Speetal Dispateh to Ths'Chicago Tribune. JURISDICTION OF BOARDS OF HEALTIL SPRINGFIELD, III., Feb. 27.—When the bill ex- wnduau the jurisdiction of Boards of Health fivo miles beyond city limits camo up, Pelizer advocated its passage, and Hopkins, guardian angel of _l].\e Btock-Yards, denounced it 88 a blackmailing institation, intended to help Health Oficers and sell & patent smell-annihilator. TRountree made a fervent appeal for the health of Chicago, dwelling on tho necessity of annihi- lating outside smells. Gordon said that, under the bill, hogs dying en routo to Chicago could not bo sold. Scaulan, Collins, Bradwell, Washburn, and Rogers derided the bill, but Kase, who repro- seuts the East St. Louis stock-yards, and Way- man backed up Hopkins. Bavage moved to rofer ta the Cook County members, but Hopkins got on his feet again, killed that motion, und then Lilled the bill, which got only 89 votes, and is very desd. If Chicago ‘wants the messure she must sond some ono down who can onttalk Hopkins. COOK COUNTY FEES. The House bill increasing the fees of Cook County ofticers passed the Senate after a litile fierco lloor lobbying by Scnators and Represen- tatives from Cook, by the emargoncy voto,— Burk, Hampton, Nicholson, and Whiting only Yoting nay.

'DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. The House spent most of the day revising the bill relating to the Department of Agriculture, county agricultural boards and fairs. The point inthe debate was the adoption of an amendment exclnaing spirituons liquors from fair-grounds. Quinn triea to let in wine aud beer, but tho House wouldn't listen to it. The bill was sent to third reading. TIE DUSBAND AND WIFE BILL.

SrRINGFIELD, III., Feb. 27.—Another contest was had in the Senste to-dsy over suspending the rules for the consmderation of Mr. Glenn’s bill for an act to provide for the payment of the registered indebtedness of countics, townships, cities, 2nd {owns. Senators evinced strong cou- victions for sod against the bill in discussing tlie motion to suspend the rules, but were rapped dovn by the President before giving their reasons therefor. The rules wore suspended and the bill ordered to a third reading. The bill reads as follows : SecTION 1. e it enacted by the People of the State of -Tilmows, represcnted in the' General Assembly, On the 1st day of July of each year, the Treasuzer and Auditor shall estimate the smount of surplus fands Which will remain in the State Treasury to the credit of eachof tholocal bond funds, after deducting the amount necessary for the payment of ail intercet on the registered raiirosd bonds which will fall due beforo the receipt of taxes by the next levy ; and on the third onday of September of each year such surplua shall Do applied to the purchase of such bon 2t ot more than par, on thelr presentation at the State Treasury, in the manner hereinafter provided. 8z, 2.

SEC. 4. If there ball bo mo proposals to scll the ‘bonds of any county, township, city, or fown, at mot ‘more than par, suflicient to absorb such surplus funds, it shall be the duty of the Tressurer to invest such ‘surplus not expended in the payment or purchase of such bonds, in United Btates bouds at thoeir merket value; and thereafter the interest on such United Stztes honds shall be added to the fund to which such bonds belong, and on tho lst of July of each year the value of such United Biates bonds belonging to the several funds sholl be considered ju fhe estimstes mado by the Auditor snd Tress— urer 25 aforesaid, The United States bonds shall bo #0ld and the proseeds applied to the purchase of reg-- isterod bonds offered, ot not more than par, on the third Monduy in_September, And whenever the in- vested surplus of any local bond fund shall be equsl to the amount outstanding of the registered Indcbled- ness of the county, township, city, or town to which such fund belongs, such county, township, cits, or town shall ccase to receive the bemefits of the act of April 16, 1869 ; and tho Auditor sball enly levy for in- terest, in caso the intercst earned by such invested sur- plus shall not be sufficient to pay the interest on tho Tegistered bonds outstanding. . There is great danger that this fraud will be consummated. —_—— MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS. Special Dispatch te the Chicago Tribune, BOYEE.

LOCAL MISCELLANY. . CRIMINAL. . THE POLICE COURTS. 01d Bob Cole, the most successful horse-thief of the Northwest, was arrested Thursday by Sergt. Gallagher, with no Jesa than five horses in his possession. Two of them have baca identified a8 belonging to a livery-stable keeper in Wisconsin, but the other three remain uniden- tified. He¢ was taken yesterday beforo Justice Bcully, who held him in bLonds of £2,000, con-. tini ing the case until Wednesday, by which timo 5 roq uisition from the Governor of Wisconsin will probably arrive, and cause his extradition, Meantime: the owners of the othor horses hiad better Lurry up. - Tho only important nows at the dog-kennol in which the West Side Police Court is conducted was that conveyed in grateful toues by the Clerks that there is & prospect of the Court's moving to another and more suitable locality. What thoy want is Bomothing better than what they bave got. They complain that the odor of the court-room is 8o offeusive that it is gradually undermining their constitutions. The little room in tho rear is said to be a regular hive swarming with inscct cattle of parasitic npature in such numbars that it ia s wondor they do not somo day lift the building up bodity and walic off with it to Bridgeport. A change from their presoat locality is & crying neceasity, which should beat once attended to. Andrew Rogors, Mike Hussey, and Richard Barron, who woré arrested tome time ago oua Cchargo'of bresking into and stealing from a car of tho Chicago, Alton & 8t. Louis line, wero again brought befor Justico Boyden, at the Armory, yesterdsy. No evidenco was produced againgt Hussoy und Barron, aud they were dis- charged, but s sufliciently strong case was made out against Rogers to induco Justices Boyden and Doggott to hold him to the Criminal Court in bail of $1,000. The attorney of the Company stated that tho line had eufferéd severoly of lute from the depredations of thieves who had broken open freight-cars, and removed freizht of cousiderable value, and that ho thought the Company Was in & fair way to break up the gang. John Berry, o colored Dundreary, with 18-inch mutton-chop whiskers of the most approved cut, was charged with stealing 815 of whips and har- ness from tho barn of Mr. Leach, a distiller. The prisoner pleaded that he got the things from Mr. Lench's cozchman in payment of a debt, but the Court could mot pardcn the ofense, which was changed to disorderly, the sentenco Dbeing a fine of §50 or 100 days in the Bridewell. JEALOTS OF THE DEAD. . Philip Brickett was brought befors Justice Boyden sesterday morniug charged with disturb- ing his wife's dental arrangemeuta to the extent of ‘two loft molars and an incisor. The prisoner has for the last two months acted in the capacity of second husband to the prosceuting witoess, 3 rolo in which he has of late introduced tha greenseyed monster in 8 manner which has been vroductive_of much unhappiness. 'Two wegks ago Mrs. Brickett, in an unguarded moment, canght her offspriug by her provious Lusband to ber arms, exclsiming * Philip, look at these eyes, just liko Ler poor, dear, dead father's.” Philip uoted, but failed to admire the similitude, and took the child across his knee and treated her to stepfutherly attentions, which placed o bloody chasm between bim and his six-weeks’ bride. Upto the moment that he had been called npon to remark how faithfully the beauties of bis predecessor wero_reproduced in his wife's daugbter, he had repelled successfully any of those littlo misgivings that may occasionally tor- ment the imitator of the aged Weller. Thence- forward a torrent of torturing ideas filled his ‘brain. In bis butcher-shop, as be elicad tender- lom for his customers ho remembered that his motrimonial predecessor was particu- Jarly fond of _that cut of meat, and ho handed tho viands over with a sigh, and could nardly mske change for the tears thot began in- volantarily to flow. Athome those eves, the Jegacy of his forerunner's love, added to his oos, and, under the circumatances, Lo thought it was best to fall into a deep-seated melancholy which could find relief only in the peculiar antipathy of the Ohio Crusaders, He eold his butcher-shop for & mere song, and iuvested that by installments in different snloous. Mrs. Biickett objected to bis taking that comfort from intoxicating drinks which he promised to find only in her gociety, and tho bloody chaem widened daily, antil hand-shaking across it was impoesible. Thursday night Linckett came ‘home drunk. The child with her father's eyes met him at the door and rushed for her 4 }Ma” The latter greeted her spouse with a saresstic romark with regard to bis. condition, and he retalinted with a_cuttivg refoinder re- garding her first Lusband. -** D¢ mortuis,” ericd tho wife, and as sho resched tho word bonum, she suited the action thereto, and made her teeth meet on both sides of her husband's wrist-bone ; 80 the husband eaid, and produced three marks in evidence. The latter then struck her sad cansed the seattering among_ her teeth on which sho based her complaint, and in proof of which who prodnced two tecth, the third Laving un- fortunately been swallowed in the excitement. The prisoner was ably defended by the saloon- keeper, of whom he i8 the most profitable cus- tomer, and tho Justice bound him over to keep the peace in bonds of €200. 1 THE FELSENTHAL CASE. The cage of Isanc and Alber: Felsenthal, the wealthy Israclitish junk-deulers who wero so surprised by the verdict ‘of a Crimival Court jury which, a few days ago, consigned them to & Jear's durance in tho Penitentiary for receiving stolen goods, came up again before Judge Moore yesterdsy morning, on the motion for & new trial. Sinco the conviction of tho Felsenthals many of the leading German citizens have been untiring in their _exertions to secure 2 triol. Lost Saturdsy their counsel, Mr. Robert Hervey, made. s tearful appesl to the Coust in their bebalf, which, Loy~ over, failed to melt tho Judgc, who was on the point of refusing the motion, whon & few days' delay was obtained. In those few days the friends of the Felsonthals havé been busy bring- ing to the notice of the legal represcntatives of the Chicago and Northwestern Company the fact that the defendants received the brass journals etolen from tnat Compamy in tho usnal course of business, and their ability to prove the same both by rmilroad re- ceipts and witnesses. Tho result of this endoavor was the production in court yesterday of a letter from the President of the road to the State’s Attorney stating that the Company desired that the Felsenthals Lave o new trial in order to give them an nppormniliw ut in evi- dence ihey decmed valuable, the benofit of which they did not enjoy ot the previous trli_:!, 13 2ud that they might bo sdmitted tb bail. State’s Attorney baving read tho letter to the Court withdrew his objections to & new tria), which was accordingly gravted, the cass being continued until the next term, and the prisoners liberated on bonds of £1,000 esch. The result i in many reepects a happy one. Henrv Greeno- ‘baum, who bas worked hke a little mun for tho defendants, is happy ; the bride of the younger ‘defendant iadelighted ; and Robort Hervey, who had sworn & solemn oath that if tho new trial were granted, Lio would give up tho Bmclice of the Iaw, is perbaps happiest of all at Lis narrow escape from staying in 8 ephere of ugefulness in Which, sa the Ststo's Attorney remarked, “no one is bis peor and bat few bis equal.” A NOVEL GAME. Mr. Rudolph Sylvan, proprictor of the Sves Hotel, avd eJi’tar of o Swedish newspaper, has ‘been copsiderably exercised of late over the pro- pensity to_gambling smong his {fellow-country- men in this city. To his grief he has observed that young and old, poor aud rich, sre prone to induige in gamo called ** Eillo,” which is play- ©d with a_pack of cards, and on which the con- testants Tisk amounts of moncy, from the ‘bum- blo mickel up to tho Congressional $10,000. Wketber or not the game of * Kille " posgesses (ho lively charme and interesting com- binations of cribbage, tho sparkliug va- riety of euchre, tho uafathomatle depth of whist or the corrupting eeductions of draf- ‘poker, it remains nnshaken that the Swedes play {be game whenever they Lave spare time on hand, and that the heart of the unce’ gude Ar. Sylvan was thereat considerably grieved. = Strik- ing at the root of the evil, be found oht that the maker of the cards with which the game was plared was a man named Stinquest, znd that the individual, with & reprehcasible contempt for Uncle Sam's revenues, fsiled to put the usual revenue stamp on each pack which be manufactared. Consequently, he had him ar- rested and brought before United States Com- issioner Hoyne, who continued tbe case for a day or two. The Commissioner bad one or two packs of the cards in hLis possession, which he showed to such vi rs ae called upon him. They are forty-{our in namber, being two sets of twenty-two different cards, running from one to ten, sud themce through different pictuzo cards, fnown respectively 23 the Blaren, tho Ar- lequin, the Cavall, the Cucw,’ the Ward- shus, the Husu, and one or two others. The Times reporter lifted one of the cards up to the window, . thinking it Was _transparent, but the Commisiioner took him by the ear sud led him {from the room, remarking, indiguautly, *What sort of & man do you take me for 2" . JAMES . DAREOX. James R. Barron, whose alleged conpection with the Tremont House robbery has become so faithfally belioved in by the publio thst he is known as the Tremont Housa robber, was again brought before the Criminal Cor Jestordsy morning in apswer to the charge which has enrned him his unenvizble name, A new jury bhad been summoned, but before they were called Mr. A, 8. Trude, defendant’s counsel, moved for s change of venue,reading in support of his motion an saflidavit stating that tho prisoner belioved that he could not get s fair trialin Clicago, where he claimed he had been misrepresented by the pressin general® mnd articularly by the pamphlet recently is- more sued by Mr. Chandler, of the Btar Union Line. The prisoner's counsel rend extracts from the various city newspapers, as well as from thie pamphlet, in support of the allegations of. the afidavit, but the Court overruled tue mo- tion. Prisoner's coungel then moved for a con- tinuance of the cace, urging as a reason the ab- gence of s material mitness aud the little. time allowed to prepure the now caso in. This motion was also overruled by the Court, who ordered the jurors to be cailed. The gotting of twelvo men was a long job, and it was nearly 2 o'clock. heforo the examination of witnesses could bo procoeded with. 'The testimony in the case was pretty much the same as that elicited in the case against Schwen and that brought out in the Barron trial of last Wednesday. The cage' was left at 6 o’clock in tho hands of the jury. MISCELLANEOUS, . The boot and shoe store of Roberts & Mathows, at No. 228" Wentworth avenue, was entered by burglars duriog Thursday night, and goods to the valuo of 375 stolen. No arrests. The house of Mr. 8losson, No. 619 West Lake street, was visited Thursday evening by a eneak- thief, who stole a valuable overcoat. Thomas Jefferson, who was stabbed last woek in an afiray at one of the low resorts on South Clark street, is at tho County Hospital in a precarious condition. _‘The phyeicians 1 attend- anco report him a8 sinking rapidly, with no pros- poct for his recovery. Irving Wood, a Ealesman in the employ of Charles Lutz, was given a check for $62 by his employer yesterday, witn dircctions to collect tho same and moko duo return of the proceeds. After collecting the money, he appropriated it to bis own use, much to the inconveniencs of Lutz, who got awarrant for his arrest. Tho young man was found ou West Madison street, and faken to the Sixth Precinct Station, whers he will tarry until broughs before Scully this morn-~ ing for final disposition. Afellow is peddling gold pens in Chicsgo which are marked ** Clark & Co,, Buuth, No. 6, charging $4 apiece for them. Many people have urchased of him, but to their sorrow. A few ours’ use wears off the plating, and the owner sccs, to his nstonishmenf, that b has paid sa much for one pickel pen asa gross can be ob- tained for. The community are warned against this swindler, and all others of his kind, and they shounld make no farther purchaso of them, if they do not desire to bo cheated. ——— THE CITY HALL. A. S.Tields was yesterday appointed » South Slde Inspector in place of Samuel Jezsen, who was removed. The Judiciary Committes will meet to-day at 2 o'clock in the office of the City Clerk. - The dismal and uncomfortable offices of the Boaid of Public Works are to be renovated throughout, the coutract having boen awarded yesterday to G.

A great deal of pressura was brought to bear yesterday at the City Ha!l to hasten the award of the ocontract for building the Fullerton avenue conduit, but {ke-Board of Public Works, after a long consultation with Mayor Colvin and Comptroller Mayes, decided, in view of the stringency of money in the City Treasury and the aificulty experienced in_collectiug taxes, to postpono the work for an indefinite time.

The first case that camo up for consideration was that of Officer Jumes Leansn, chiarged with being dishonest, iu not paying Lis debts.

Hood should bo singled out for attack, for sny one who hias been at all conversant with police mat- ters for the past four years kuowa very well that it hes been tho custom for Captains and Ser- geants of Police to fill out blank warcants. This 18 no reason why it should be done, for itis wholly illegal, and ought not to _ba permitted, but Sergt. Hood was not tho originator of the castom, The testimony taken yesterday affernoon amounted to unothing beyond proving what every ome knew, viz: that the warrant for Rafferty’s arrest was a blank warrant, filled out by Sergt. Hood. Cits-Attorney Jamieson, in drawing up the specifications of tho charges sgeinst Hood, charged him with filling out o blaok State's warrant, This thoy could pot prove, and had the Board held the prosccution to the charges =g drawn up, the case should bave becn dismissed.

EVANSTOX. A choice literary entertainment was given by the literary societies of the University at the Presbyterian Church Thuredsy evening. Prof. Carhart, who well ropresents the dignity of that great educational 1nstitation, prosided with his usual grace. The exercises opened with a quartet by Miss Dates, Mrs. Llewellyn, and Messrs. Hines and Taylor, after which Mr. 1. 0. Lowis declnimed *‘ Cataline’s Dofiance " in & very effective and forcible manner. Mr. Willjsm AL Knox, inan onginal oration, then related the melancholy history of * Silas Higgins,” a mythical character, who originated near Kenosha. The addresa wasan excellent take-off on modern histories, and abounded in witticisms snd the humorous sllusions for which Mr. Knox is becoming noted in the 1natitation. A quartet of male voices preceded the debate, which was upon the guestion: * Resolved, That Industry 1s_more_cssential to success than Genius.” Miss M. S. Bnrgh supported the af- firmative in a sound, forciblo speech, claiming that genius was unable to sccompiish anything without the aid of industry. Miss Ida Stowart followed in & graceful address. The gist of ber argument was that industry was an acquiro- mont, and genius a gift. Tho lstter was more essentinl to success than the former, becauso those who presented the latter could ac- uire the former, but those who possessed in- lustry could nover acquire genius. A song prepared tho audience for Prof. R. L. Cumunock, who read threa caatos from ** The Courtehip of Miles Standish,” in his own inimi-~ tablo manner. R.G. Hobbs spoke I!gmn “ Lit- erature,” and, after more music, Miss E. E. Parks read a thoughtful ceany upon “ The Grest Tover,” the subject being explained in tho fol- lowing sentence : ** Life's great lever 1s the silent iniluence of character.” Mr. J. 8. Norris then declaimed *The Danco of Ballochroy,” which conveys a terrible warning to all gay deceiyers, and one that is neoded in the raral comdunity wherein It was delivered. The reading of **Boots at tho Holly-Tree Inn ™ by Prof. Cumnock closed tho ontertsinment, i ie spprecincad by thelarge audience resent, and netted 830 above expenses to the itarary societles. Considerable astonishment was created in town yesterday by the reported marriago of & young merchant, who was married at 6 o’clock the previous morning and returned home on the midnight train. ‘The February number of the T'ripod appeared yesterday, and it is therefore probablo that to- daz’s I will contain some local news.
