George Guyon took the track ,at 8:30 p. m. and made_thirteen miles in two _' hours and thirty seconds, which' is considered very good time, when allowance is made for the sharp angles and twenty-cight laps to the mile, The attendance last evening was quite large. The South Town Board held an adjourned meeting yesteaday at noon. There were pres- ent Justices Wallace in the chair, Pollack, Haines, Supervisor Jackson, and Clerk Schorec Owing to 1he illuess of the Collector, his dep- Mr. Judd, was instructed to present the oll to the Board for audit by Mondav morning, and the Board then adjourned until 12 m. of that day.

The members of the committee lett for their homes last nizht, bat will return to the city next week, and coo- clude their business. They represent the pros- pect for holding the contemplated fair as most encouraging, and arc confident that it will ba given au the time designated, most probably in this city. - Postmaster-General Key has issued an order that after the end of the present quarter, March 31, the system of selling stamps, etc., at 3 dis- .| counttocertnin designated agents in some of the larger cities, be discontinued.

He was a_member of Columbia Lodze agd St. Andrew’s Chapter, F. and A. M., and alfo one of the most honored members of Boston Commandery of Knights Templar. Mr. Crosby ‘| was 42 vears old, was twice married, and leayes 2 widow and two children by his first wite. .He was a wholesouled, genial gentleman, and he had many friends in the West, particularly in this city. He died of Bright’s diseasc of the Lkidneys. A strong effort will be made at the close of the morning services at the First Bantist Church this morning to raise some money in order to get rid of the financial entanglements which are at present worrying the congregation. A member of the Committee appointed by the . church to raise the necessary amount to reduce the debt to $30,000, stated yesterday that the Comnmittee had secn all the creditors, and had received a proposition that, if the church could raise $16,000 in_cash, the debt could bere- -duced from $S0,000 to $30,000. It is proposed to raise this $16,000 by getting $6,000 in cash donations and $10,000 in cash subscriptions to the second mortgage . bonds. It is hoped that that portion of the $16,000 which has not yet been raised will be . sccured at the,meeting this morning. Ald. Jonas, the projector, and Mr. Henry Rottner, the manager, of the Free Lodging- House, corner of Wells and Indiaua streets, bave made & report of the work of that iostitu- tion for the past month. ‘The report shows that 3,012 men, of almost every trade, have been furnished lodgine Among the lodmers were 1,217 Americans, 690 Irish, 679- Germans, and some from al- most _every other pationality, including six colored.” The averace age is 35 years. Every lodeer is given a rood bowi of soup and plenty of bread belore going away in the morn- ing. “Each lodeer may stay three nights in sue- cession and return after a week. They are orderly und respectable in appearaace, and many return after securing employment to thank the managers for the help extended to them. The report closes with a detaiied list of donations to this charity, and, returning thanks for past favors, asks for continued assistance. A newly-wedded couple from Oshikosh arrived here yesterday. and. after seeing all the sights, brought up at a fashionalde restaurant, where the groom said gallantly to bis shrinking part- ner, ‘‘Sarah, ’m going to treat vou if it busts the motto and the turkey clean out of this here silver dollar. Mister, you bring us some oys- ters, the best you know how.” The man speedily returned with two dozen raws on the balf-shell. “What’s this, bey?” exclaimed the guest, with a rising intlection in his_voice. “ Qysters, sir, on the half-shell,” responded the waiter. ** Well,” replied the guest, calmly and deliberately taking off his coat, **I’ve neerd of your Chicago tricks upon_travelers, and I know Tlookasif I came from Oshkosh, and I did, by thunder; but you cav’t play off any of your oysters in fire-brick butter-plates on me, young map. You just hump yourself, and bring us some honest oysters,—oysters with their native tin round’’em, and the ou the shell - like they came’ ‘from the hands of their Creator. ‘Think I don’s know an oyster when I see it Itis about this present time of year that as- sociated efforts in behalf of favorite charities are usually made. The most popular direction these efforts take is that of amateur theatricals. There is mtimation thut a pumber of things in this line are in preparation, and promise is given of some very fine performances. The women’s department of Hahnemann Hospital is to have a bandsome benefit, for which some of the best amateur talent in the city has been enzaged. A lively comedy in three acts has been trans- lated from ihe French, called *“Plot and Pas- sion,” and & cast which will at once command at- tention has been made. It includes Mr. Henry Crawford, Mr. McMillan, "Mr. Dapa, Mr. Henry Raymond; Mr. Appleton, Mr. Ayer, and Miss "Copeland. The date of the play is 1810, and is to be costumed in the dress of the period. Fashion plates actually printed in that year have been obtained, from which dresses for the leading lady are being made. Two perform- ances will be announced—one at Unity Church, and another at the residence of Mr. Crawford, on nCalumet aveuue, As an accessory attrac- tio”, a celebrated lady violiniste will, it is ex- peCted; play. The Postmaster had received no further infor- mation yesterday in regard to the future loca- ion of the Post-Otfice, nor had he received any official notice of Mr. Freeman’s decisio He is still confident that the new building will be put in shave, and said_that the efforts for an extra appropriation would be pushed as much as possible. Mr. Freeman, the law officer of the Post-Ofice Department, has finally made his decision, which is in substance that the Post- Office must occupy the Honore Block untit _the Goveroment Building can be fitted up for its reception. ‘The Honore Block is now ready for occupatiol and the only question is bow soon the Custom- House Building can be gotten ready. If it can- not be fixed up within a reasonable time, then the Post-Office must zo back toits old quarters. A stroog effort will be made, however, to have it fitted up. Superintendent McDowell thinks that he can getit ready by the lst of April, and _Congressman Aldrich bas written to Sccretary Sherman, asking that cs- timates for furnishing the basement and first story be submitted immediately to the Committee on Appropriations. The representatives of the Connecticut Mutual ac- quiesce, it is understood, in Mr. Freeman’s de- termination that the occupancy of their build- ing is tu cease when the Government Building is ready. Tact and politeness obviate many difficulties. A returped miner from the Black Hills arrived intown yesterday, and went to x saloon and asked for some of the best whisky in the nouse, and when it was served to him pat it out with unutterable loathivg and said, * I called for whisky, youny man; mebbe you didn’t hear me?”’” The barkeeper said that he had heard him and that he had given him whisky. ‘The gentleman from Deadwood proceeded with more deadly calmness, though his hand istinctively sought his hip-pocket, ““I called for the best whisky in the house, younz man; mebbe you did not catch the full significance of my lan- guage?’ Now, many another barkeep- er under similar circumstances would have resented the insinuation as - to his ligoor by pouring it into the sink, and say- ing, *“ You don’t know good whisky whes you see it,” or words to that effect,-or have offcred the man §500 if he could.find as zood whisky as that anywhere oo the footstool, or in some other mauner not berein speciied bave led the man from the Black Hills to draw his revolver orhurla chair through the mirror. “But this barkeeper was 2 man of quite aoother sort, so be said kindly, “I beg your pardon, Captain; 50 many people come round that don’t know what whisky is, but I might have séen with half an eye that you knew the. difference.” So be urbapely but hurriedly mixed in a bottle some alcokol, kept for dleaning the mirror, andspirits of turpentine; and Jamaica .ginger, and Perry» Dayis' pain-killer, and when the stranger said “Yes” in reply, to his question whether be liked some bitters In it, shook of pepper-sauce into 2 tumbier g:}it Brn.fi‘liled t?xepp boitle towards bim.

So long; take this in remembrance of me,” und, pressing an $300 nugget upon the barkeeper, he wasgone. oner Mann yesterday held an inquest unon t.hgo;ody of a ncl’li‘-‘)om infant that was found under a sidewalk at the corner of Loomis and Harrison streets; upon Maria Galloway, colored, who dicd of heart disease at No. 449 Clark streets and upon a man supposed to be C. IL Burton, of Three Rivers, Mich., who died at the County Hospital of injuries received sy I;\l}mg down av _ outside stairwav on Fifth avenue leading to the basement of the Times' building. He appeared to be suffering from a fit of some sort, and acted like a person intoxi- cated. ‘There was no evidence, however, that he had been drinking. An foquest was also licld upon William Wirtz, who committed sul- cide by taking chloral at his home, No. 357 West Washington strect. Deceased was formerly a sambler and sporting character, but by the in- fluence of his wife, who is an ecarnest laborer .in the temperance field, he was moved to turn over a new leal a couple of years aro, and fora while he, too, figured quite ex- tensively in the temperance cause. A few months ago he relapsed into some of his former bad habits, and remorse at his fallen coudition is supposed to bave been the cause of his suicide. e was 46 years of age, and left a wile and one son aged about 12 years. It was duriog the palmy law-and-order days, and an honest and muscular old Dutchmao who was enzaged as a performer behind a vertic bar was aroused one Sunday morning by a en- tle tap at the door of his saloon, and, on looking out, in slipped a cadaverous-looking man, who said: *That’s all right, Schneider; ot any whisky?” The old man gazed upon him as if his face were familiar, and the stranger, grow- ing uneasy under the scrutiny. said, reassuring- Iy: O, that's allright! You know me; you've seen me before.” ‘The saloon-keeper had seen him before,—as complainant in some liquor cases: at the police court,—and forall answer he smote the cadaverous stranger :between the eves, and knocked him intoaheapin the ballway. Forabout five minutes there was a fearful riot, rumpus, and row, in which, amid the soupd of dcath- Kicks falling thick and fast like liglitnings from a thunder-cloud, might be heard with voice like trumpet loud the Iusty Teuton erying, “ Nice Kind of veiler you are, éh? Preakin® de Sappat tay all oop intoschmall pits und dryin’to got me to preak der law, don’t it? Sehoundrel, I made you_resbpect dose Sunday ge-closin’ law,” und The like, till at last the cmissary seized the op- portumty when he was thrown out through a broken panel in the dour, and while the Dutch- man was fumbling at the lock, to take to his heels and fly. After he had repaired damages somewhat, he was about to have the old man ar- rested, but, when he came to think the matter over in cold blood (which was all down his shirt 1ront), he concluded that he couldn’t convict him of an_ infraction of the Sunday law, any how, for the mau had refused to sell him any liquor, but he was by no means satisfied that the Dutcbman’s zeal was honest. THE CHICAGO VETERAN LIGHT ARTILLELY held its first annual meeting last evening at_its headquarters in the Exposition Building. The attendance of members was large. Caot. Tobey presided. The latter read a report recapitulat- ing the Company’s history since its organiza- tion, Jan. 18, 1878 The first turn out was May 18, and the battery had been out four times since, and practiced firing at tareets once. There had been fifteen meetings, at which the average attendance was thirty-four.

An adjourned meeting of property-holders {nterested in having a viaduct built over Halsted street and Chicago avenue was held last night at the Workingmen’s Hall, corner of Halsted and Ridgeley streets. Ex-Ald. Baumgarten presided. The Committee appointed to circulate peti- tiops for the improvement reported progress, and a general desire in the community for the viaduct. One member of the Committee re- ported that he bad got signatures rcpresenting 3,000 frunt feet. Ald. Ryan, being present, was asked how soon the petitions should be placed before the Council, so that the viaduct could be included in the Appropriation bill for this year, said that there.was yet about two weeks before the bill would come before the Council in Com- mittee of the Whole. He said that the policy of the present Council was economy. Still they were in favor of 21l measures nccessary for the protection of life and limb. He thought that the North Side Aldermen tavored the measure, and that the improvement being necessary, it would be made as soon as the taxes were col- lected. He promised his support. Ald. Stauber likewise promised his assist- ance, and suggested that committees be ap- pointed to wait upon the other Aldermen und ask their co-operation. The report’of the Committee was adopted, and further time was granted for other signa- tures. Thesame Committee was instructed to call upon some of the other Aldermen and re- quest their support.

The estimates particularly under consideration were those of the School Board. The request of the Board for pew buildings aud sitts wus $140,C00. This the Committce cut down to $70,000 after much discussion between Ald. Pearsons and Inspector Wells. Outside of this the cuttivg down did pot agerezate more than Sl.'J&A The question of school-teachers’ The Board de- sired to have the payments arranged so that the often impecunious teachers should not suffer from the discount on scrip. No increase of salary was asked for. The Comm:gtcc_fl_nally decided to add to the amount asked for 325,000, making the entire appropriation for salarics $576,900. [n the discussion over mnew buildings und sites it was stated that there was in__ the Treasury an unexpended bslance of $50,000 applicable to the coustruction fund, and it was suacested by the Mayor that this mouey should bt used for the purpose. The Committee s0 agreed. THE COUNTY-BUILDING. The quasi-criminal calendar will be called in the Crimioal Court to-morrow. The South-Town Collector turned $1,600 ir'm) the Treasury yesterday, and some of the outside towns also made liberal contributions. . The Finance Comimnittee yesterday agreed to extend the time for receiving bids for the sale of the county bonds un til the 15th instant. Up to date but few bids have been received, doubt- less on account of the belief some persons have that the rates of interest would be increased; but the Committee announce to all such that five per cent is the most that will be paid. The Printing Committee wasin session all day yesterday examining bids for supplying printing and stationery. ‘here were four bids in all, but that of the iegal News Company Wwas tarown out because it was away nbove the others. No conclusion was rcached as to who the award would be made to, but the bids showed that what one bidder would furnish for 31, knowing that ne would never be called upon to furnish the article, another not so well posted would charge $5 for. 1 the lowest bidder. then, adding up the bids on the various items, is given the award, the county will be badly swindled. It is the old drug bidding over again. The guillotine has azain fallen in the Sherifl’s oftice. It fell yesterday very stranzely upon the head of August Steinhaus to make room for ex-Commissioner Mulloy. ~— Both are expericnced men, and It is_ said that the removal of one and the appointment of the other would make a long and fnteresting story. The machine also fell upon the head of Builiff Morris, aud E. C. Comstock was appointed to bis place; and upon the head of Bailif Moran, whose successor has not been made knowu. Rumor has it _that the machiue is still in working order, and no one knows how soon it will fall, or upon whom. ‘LOCAL MISCELLANY. Chicago will soon rival New Orleans as a field for sensatioral investigations. “ When I die,” remarked a street-rallway. superintendent, *you will find beautiful snow written on my heart.” Col. Ingersoll is said to be the happiest man in Washineton, Why shouldn’t he be? There’s no investigating comm ittee after him. The burning of the City Alms-House at Lou- isville, Ky., last Friday; with the loss of six- teen lives, is the latest iilustration of the neces- sity of permanent fire-escapes. Think of the number of buildings in Chicagowhere hundreds of lives are in hourly danger for lack of proper means of escape. In this conpection we notice that the Howland Block, on Dearborn street., is being provided with two of Cowles’ patent stand-pipe fire-escapes, which proved so valua- ble in saving lives and property at the burning of the Honore Building, adjoining. Probaoly the happiest combination in all this wide world durinz these merry winter days is half a mince pie with a boy around it. A * Text Book of Domestic Practice,” of 190 pages, treating of the simple diseases with homeooathic remedies, is sold for 50 cents at Boericke & Tafel’s homeopathic pharmacr, 35 South Clark street. “ Sing me, my own,” he whispered lovingly, as they both szt dowd on the oue piano-stool, tsing'me ‘Oh, whisper what thou fcelest.’’ « 1 will, young mao, I will,” said the tremulous tones of her papa trom the direction of the door. ‘We will sing it as a duet, you and [; L will fcel and you can whisper what it is. And then he felt for the boy with his fect, and went on with unfeeling iadiffercnce. “}* And you needn’t con- fine yourself to a whisper nccessarily in telling what yon feel and what it feels like. Give it voice, young man, give it voice.” ‘We notice that in preparing the catalogues for the coming year at W. W. Kimball’s piano estabtishment, it has been decided to drop cer- tain styles of cabines organs from the iists on account of changes in the styles of the cases introduced by the mapufacturers. The old styles now in stock will, therefore, be closed out at greatly reduced prices. Among these instruments are some of the celebrated Smith ‘American organs, aud also of the popular Kim- ball organs. ‘They are perfect in every respect, containing all the latest improvements, and at the prices offered are decided bargains. = Those contemplating the purchase of organs should not overlook this opportunity. An observer savs that there are a_great many men in this world who ‘imagine that they are born with genius, and lte down on the sofa and wait for an inspiration, until some fellow who thought himself a dunce rises by hard labor to competency, buys the sofa, and Jeads the wait- ing genius out by the ear. This is no joke; it is a fact. ‘We notice that the Brrant & Stratton Busi- ness College is increasing its facilities. The greatly increased patronage during the past few weeks necessitates additional room. As a2 pop- ular school of practical business education this institution has no rival in the United States. A fashion journal remarked that ‘ ungloved hands are fasnionable among geotlemen this winter.” Surely; what are trousers pockets good forif aman has to pay $L75 a pair for gloves? . Noarticle of food ever used has grown into popularity so fast as has ‘‘Mack’s Patent Process Oatmeal.” Purest, cleanest, finest natural-flavored oatmeal in America. A Bridgeport man_had to have both his feet frozen and amputated before he would ioin the Red-Ribbon Club. There are some men who won't quit drinking whisky until you amputate their necks. - The old favorite Tremont Housc seems to be entering on a new era of prosperity under the able management of the veteran landlord, John A Rice. A liberal policy has been adopted, special contracts can be made, and rooms with- out board are offered at $1 to $2 per day. While the restaurant is closed rooms with board can be sccured for $2.50 per day. At these remark- ably low prices the ¢ Palace Hotel of Chicago” will not have many vacant rooms. The Camanche Indians ncither work, fish, trap, or hunt, but support life and furnish their ‘wigwams exclusively by stealing. And vet it is a difficult thing to induce our tramps fo emi- grate to this happy Camancbe country. % The most obstinate cold in the head yields to the action of Gale & Blocki’s Compound Cubebs Cigarcttes now sold by-all druzgists. It has been finally aonounced that Cansda dous not desire to be, and positively will not_be annexed to the United States. "Then letus shut up the Capital and let the United States o cut of business. There is no moure hope for this poor old neglected country. ‘The finest assortment of elegant valentines in the West is now shown at Smith’s book and news store, 122 Dearborn street. Henry C. Work sadly told a reporter that “the man who writes songs doesn’t generaily fecl like singing them.” Well, no, we snouldn’t think he would; not when men are shooting people for singing My Grandfather’s Clock.” 1f ever a man feels like wnting Sunday-school Avmms it is when on_returniug home late he finds the gas out and the servant-maid with thoughtfulness has placed the ash-box on the hall stairs. “Truth crushed to earth will rise again.” So will 2 brolen barrel hoop, especially the end you don’t step on. ———— SOAP.
