Mayor's Court, June 18th. Henry Stremiug was up for shooting Sunday, fined $2,50. Three Hotel runners were fined $5 nch, for disturbing the peace, at the )epot of the T. H. & R. Railroad. The Irst case we believe under the ordinance j-may it be the last.

How OUR BODIES ARE MADE.—The following is a forcible illustration of the way we supply the natural waste of the body:

Let it be 'remembered that to take food is to make man. Eating is the process by which the noblest of terrestrial fabrics is constantly repaired. All our limbs and organs have been picked from our plants. We have been served up at table many times over. Everv individual is literally a mass of vivified viands he is an epitome of innumerable meals ho has dined upon himself, supped upon himself, and in fact,— paradoxical as it may appear—has again ind again leaped down his own throat. Lie big states that an adult pig weighing one hundred and twenty pounds Mill consume five thousand one hundred and ten pounds of potatoes in the •course of a year, and yet at the expiration of that period its weight mav not have increased a single ounce.
