The DAILY GAZETTE arrived here late
yesterday, but an anxious crowd pa-

than half an hour 500 copies were dis-
posed of.
The Mayflower Hook and ‘Ladder
ball at Music Hall last evening was a
complete success. There was a large
attendance and everyone entered into
the pleasures of the occasion with zest.
Heine’s band furnished music. Danc—
ing was kept up until early morn, and
all went home with the pleasantest of
memories of the occasion, and the
Mayflowers added another to their list
of successful entertainments.
John Tuttle, who by the way pulled
2,000 bushels of turnips in November

turnips from the soil as one could wish
for. He has about ninety bushels in
the ground which will receive like at-
tention the next thaw day.

The inner entrances at the postofiice
could be greatly improved were they
supplied with noiseless swing-doors.
At present the doors meet when closed
in violent contact with an upright cen-
ter jamb with a bang that is probably
repeated several hundred times a day.
This racket is not only very annoying
to the human ear, but does neither the
doors nor the jamb a particle of good.
The temperance pool and billiard
room in the Haviland building appears
to be well patronized, principally by
minors. Look out, boys, that you do
not graduate, or retrograde rather, in-
to the “beer on pool” institutions.
At a recent session of a certain se-
cret society which is composed of both
sexes, an intermission was held, during
the evening, devoted to pleasing recre-
ation. A short impromptu entertain-
ment was arranged which terminated
in an astonishingly ludicrous manner,
The ladies were all seated in a line and
a gentlemen was stationed in front of
them. He was then privately instruct-
ed by the manager to crow like a roos-
ter at a given signal. , The ladies were
then secretly instructed what they
were to do, and then the signal was
given. The improvised rooster emit-
ted a crow that made the roof crack,
but the ladies sat still as statues fer a
minute, their countenances o’erspread
with well-feigned expressions of amaze-
ment, which was succeeded by'shrieks
of feminine laughter. Thegentleman
then gave an inimitable facial imitation ,
of the face of “Mary’s little lamb”and
the curtain fell. A man who was pass-
ing along the street, hearing the crow-
ing, rushed breathlessly into a store
under the hall and wanted to know
whether it was a chicken dispute or a
poultry show.

Certain persons are anxious to pur-
chase the Lawrence McClure prop-
erty, to be laid out in building plots.

ried out a large number of valuable

The hearing in the O’Brien and Quit-
ner saloon remonstrances was resumed
this morning. Messrs. Eli Kemp and
John G. Pugsley appeared for the de-
fense, and testified'to the location be-
ing a good one. In every instance both
the witnesses for the remonstrants and
for the defense have testified that the
O’Brien saloon was the best conducted
saloon was that ever located in that
neighborhood. Chief Vollmer and ex-
policeman Robert Mortontestified that
no disturbance had ever occurred at
either of these saloons.

The extraordinary and unexpectedly
large circulation of the DAILY GAZETTE,
while exceedingly gratifying to us,has,
in consequence of the utter failure of
our water power almost continuously
since its publication began, overwhelm-
ed us with a vexation, misery and dis-
tress unbearable. Every day, we have
been promised better conditions, but
in fact the water pressure is steadily
less. To obviate our enlargement we
secured a Small steam engine, but that
soon gave out; we then resorted to man
power, but our editions are so large it
is not in human strength to drive our
large presses with any degree of veloc-
ity. , As a consequence, our editions
are unavoidably late, and this was
mortifyingly the case on Saturday in
issuing our Weekly and Daily com-
bined. We are making every possible
endeavor to bridge over this trouble
with the water works, but if the pres-
ent trouble is to be much longer con-
tinued, we shall put in an engine cap-
able of printing and printing rapidly,
all the GAZETTES the public desire to
buy. Meantime we crave the indul-
gence of our friends.

Frank Stevens, the limping tramp,
who was arrested yesterday by Officer
Gormley, was arraigned in the after-
noon before Judge Austin, charged
with drunkenness and vagrancy, and
was found guilty and sentenced to 60
days in jail and fined $7 and costs.
This will keep him behind the bars at
least long enough to prevent the out-
side world from playing April fool
jokes on him. Stevens is an old
rounder and makes his appearance
here at regular intervals, generally
sailing under a different name at each
visit.
eral times for various offenses, and,
although he undoubtedly deserved the
sentence imposed on this occasion for
the misdemeanors alleged against him,
the principal reason for his arrest was
a suspicion that he might be the fire-
bugaboo who has been having so much
fun burning barns.

DOMINION ELECTIONS.
They \Vill Occur in March—Tho House
of Connnons Dissolved.
TORONTO, Feb. 4.—The Empire, the chief
organ of the Dominion govern ent, an—
nounces that, acting on the advice of his
responsible ministers, his excellency the
governor general has been pleased to dis-
solve the house of commons and issue
writs for a new parliament. The nomina—
tions will take place on Thursday, Feb. 26,
and the polling on Thursday, March 5. As
the reasons that have induced the govern-
ment to appeal to the country at this tim
The Empire gives the following: ~
It is understood that the Dominion gov-
ernment has, through her majesty’s gov-
ernment, made certain proposals to the
United States for negotiations looking to,
the extension of our commerce with that
country. These proposals have been sub-
mitted to the president for his considera—
tion, and the Canadian government is of
the opinion that if these negotiations are
to result in a treaty, which must be rati-
fied by the parliament of Canada, it is ex-
pedient that the government should be
able to deal with a parliament fresh from
the people rather than with a moribund
house.
It is understood that Canada will send a.
delegation to Washington after March 4,
the date on which the life of the present
congress expires, for the purpose of dis-
cussing informally the questions of the ex-
tension and development of trade between
the United States and Canada and the set
tlement of all questions of difference be—
tween the two. countries. This delegation
will visit the United States capital, it is
said, as the result of friendly suggestions
from Washington.

equal amount of gasllght. This means
that the light of the glow worm is four
