A girl stands in the middle of a circle of players and says the following lines, altering the names to suit those present: There is a girl of our town; She often wears a flowered gown. Tommy loves her night and day And Richard when he may And Johnny when he can. I think Sam will be the man. She points to each one as she names him, and at the last line the one selected immediately runs away.

St. Louis, Sept. 20,—The board of police commissioners, sitting as judges and jury, sustained the charges filed many months ago against of Police Matthew Kiely aud dismissed him from the service.
