It wi be recollected that charges of ‘short weight” in coal were made in the Board of Trustees of Pub- lie Schools, and that, after an investigation, the board refused to pay the bills unless a deduction was made for the alleged “short weight.” Mr. Gainand refused to make this deduction, and now sues for the full amount of his bill. ——_e—___ Birtes ‘PPERHEAD.—Mr. A.G.

She came to police head quarters early this morning, and told a pitiful story about having been robbed on the street cars this morning of two dollars, (which she said was ail the money she had,) and a gold cross belonging to one of her jost children.

Her story and her appearance could not fail of exciting sympathy rom every one, but it was discovered that hér stories to different persons did not agree, and soon Lieut.

He was a large borrower, and it turns out that his liabilities amount to '$490,000, while his assets, though they exceed this sum on the face of them, are really much less.
