John 'llnsvary' b JCS to Court to Becofl.000. Cash Was in His Pockes When Police Appeared. ' John Ungvary, the South Norwalk saloon keeper who had quite an exper- ience with the green goods men in Long - Island City last month, on Saturday afternoon applied to Justice Gaynor, of Brooklyn, for an alternative writ of mandamus directing Judge Connerton to turn over to him the $3.000 in good money which Ungvary captured from the green goods dealers, and which Judge Connerton had ordered return- ed to the sharper's. Ungvary’s plausible line of argument was that the cash was in his pocket when the police appeared; that it was not alleged that he had stolen it; and that, therefore, the presumption was that it was his. Judge Gaynor was so impressed with this line of argument that. he granted the writ. It" was made returnable to-day and the tug of war to decide whether the laugh shallgbe on Ungvary of the finan- ciers will then be decided. ANOTHER DANBUIlY FIRE.

The latest and most Ingenious way of getting rid of roaches and water bugs we have heard of is related of a citizen of Schenectady, whose kitchen was infested with them. A servant, hearing that toads were an antidote, caught three ordinary hop toads and put them in the kitchen. Not a roach or water bug, it is stated, can now be found in the ifiouse. The toads have become domesticated, nev- er (wander about thedrouse, and are so cleanly and inoffensive that there is no objection to their presence. Another use. for toads is to employ them for insect destroyers in the gar- den. They are determined enemies of all kinds of emails and slugs, which it is well known can in a single night destroy a vast quantity of lettuce, car- rots, asparagus, etc. Toads are also kept in vineyards, where they devour during the night millions of insects that escape the pursuit of nocturnal birds, and might commit incalculable havoc on the buds and young shoots“ of the vine. In Paris toads are an article of merchandise. They are kept in tubs and sold at the rate of two francs a dozen—Hampshire Gazette. I' Proctor's Solemn Wis.
