MR. JOIIN ROSS, of the brick yards, hrd a runaway yesterday afternoon, resulting in the complete smash up of his buggy and a general battering up of his person. He attributes the runaway to nothing but pure, unadulterated meanness

ELSEWHERE is printed to-day a card from Thomas Jackson in answer to an item which appeared in this morning's Express. The GAZETTE is glad to see that Jackson has come to look rightly 011 this matter, lie is a man of good mind is upright and honest, and of generous impulses, and a little more determination and action will again firmly set him 011 his pins.
ON AND after this day the clothing houses of this city will close at "j}* P. M. This is a move in the right direction, since keeping open until nine or ten o'clock, as has been the practice, is not only overtaxing men connected with the business, but incurs expenses. This is entirely unnecessary. We hope this rule will be sustained, and that every other house will follow the example.
A Sensative Cow.
Tom Gist has a cow who takes to heart the war upon her race which is now being waged in the city council. She has been quite sick since the morning following the first introduction of the subject in the local legislature.
The news of last night's proceedings is rather encouraging to the cow party, and her cowship is feeling much better to-day.
Amusements. CAMMILLA URSO.
Through an awkward mistake, the Cammilla Urso concert has been annouced in the GAZETTE, for Thursday evening. The concert takes place Saturday evening at Dowling Ilall.
Miss Urso has a reputation which extends throughout rhc entire civilized work!. She is, in fact, the only lady violinist who is recognized by the great masters as a thorough artist. She has made the violin a life study and has arrived as nearly to the point of perfection, as mortals are permitted to do. She is supported by a company of artists selected from the most accomplished artists in the land.
A Happy Nig.
A genuine specimen of a "happy nig from old Virginnv" has been roaming up and down Main street all day, dancing and singing for the amusement of passers by. This morning he made an impromptu stage of the landing at the foot of the I stairway which leads to the rooms of the Y. M. C. A., in the marble block.
His peculiar actions soon attracted a large crowd of people whom he' entertained for fifteen or twenty minutes with his peculiar actions. 1 lis most noticeable performance is the dance known a6 "cssence of Old Virginnv."
He furnished his own music, producing with his mouth, a very close imitation of a bag pipe, or a jews harp, we are not sure which.
Another Ditch.
At a recent meeting of the council, the citv engineer was instructed to put in stakes, for a ditch running from Locust street7 outi\ on Twentieth to the nail works. This ditch, it is tine, follows the natural "lav of the ground," which falls in the direction of the mills, and will carry the water from the east and northeast part of town down that wav but is that lair?
The truth of the matter that the vicinity of the nail works is made a hugh reservoir. It is estimated that the water from 2 000 acres ofland in the citv and near the city is drained onto that g'round. It can do nothing there but
it shall
remain nntil
have soaked into
the ground or evaporated. Why not let it do this when it falls? Would it not bfe fairer to the residents of the Sixth Ward? In other words, by what right can one man drain water from his land onto another man's farm.
COINS.
Some Curious, and Some Old.
'['here is a gentleman in this city, forincrly a resident of Canada, who has a great taste for collectihg old and curious coins. When he first came west he had a very large number of them, but he has since reduced the number in gifts to friends until he has now not got over half hat full. The oldest coin he ever had was
MADE IN 1800 B.
another old one, but still, a very infant compared to the first, is a Roman coin having date 1423 A. D. This coin must be heated to a white heat to make the date distinguishable'. He has a number of pieces of less ancient coinage. Among them is a sixpence bearing the imprint of the features of the sensuous Charles II. of England, and dated 1677. An American coin dated 17S9, has curious inscriptions 011 it says: "Mind your business we trust "We are one: 13 States in the Union."

An India coin bearing the imprint of an elephant on one side and a horseman on the other and a Chinese piece of money, of which it takes 100 to make 7c attract attention.
A representation of the Pope is on the Irish Cronebane or half penny and the Duke of Willington (without the boots) on a coin of 1816. Calling forcibly to mind the scarcity of small change pre vious to the war there is in this collection a small coin-shaped peice bearing on one side the words, "Avers Sarsaparilla Enclosed on the other side is a postage stamp. These were largely used for change.

A SLANDER.
Thomas Jackson Denounces the Express for Saying that he Intends to Shuffle off.
T-j the Editors of The Evening Gazette: The Express to-day says: Tom Jackson has been vainly endeav oring to get some one to write him "statement," and says he is going to make another attempt to "slntflle off."
A greater falsehood, could not be told nor greater injustice be done, to one, who misguided in a moment of temporary de rangement committed a wrongful act Since my recovery, I have asked forgiveness therefor of God and man, and I cannot see the justice of traducing one who certainly does not offend the public I do not believe, and I am certain you Mr. Editor and the public as well, will agree with me, that it is not the province of a newspaper to slander individuals who endeavor to mind their own business. These great reformers, should, instead of jiulling a man down, encourage him, especially when they know a man's condition, and how wrongfully he has been used by certain members of this community.
Respectfully,
THOMAS JACKSON.

SCUDDEK'S'DOG
CAsi].
A Nice Legal Questien Settled. Max Aileler in Philadelphia Bulletin. A man came into the office of Judge X. the well known lawyer, the other day and when the Judge had time to listen to him he said:—
Judge, my name is Scudder. I called to see you about a dog case that kinder bewilders me, and I thought maybe you might throw some light 011 her—might just give me the law points so's I'd know whether it was worth while suing or not. You see me and a man named Potts went into partnership on a dog. We bought him. He was a setter, and me and Potts went shares on him so's to take him out a hunting. It was never definitely settle which half of him I owned and which half belonged to Potts, but some how I kinder formed an idea in my own mind that the hind was Scudder's and the front, end Pott's. Censequence was that when the deg DarKetl I Jllwnys-oatd-, '-rTf-iCre Pott.' half exercising itself," and when the dog's tail wagged I always considered that my end was being agitated. And, of course, when one of of my hind legs scratchcd one of Pott's car or shoulders I was perfectly satisfied first, because that sort of thing was good for the whole dog and second, because the thing would get about even when Potts' head would reach around and bite a flea off my hind legs or snap at a fly. Well, things went along smooth enough for a while, until one day that dog began to get in the habit of running around after his tail. He was the foolishes the dog about that I ever saw. Used to chase his tail round and round until he'd get so dizzy he couldn't bark. And you know I was skeered lest it might hurt the dog's health, and as Potts didn't seem to be willing to keep his end from circulating in pursuit of mv end I made up my mind to chop the dog's tail oft", so's to make him reform and behave. So last Saturday I caused the dog to back up agin a log, and then I suddenly droipped the ax on his tail, pretty close up, and the next minute he was booming around that yard, yowling like a boatload of wildcats. Just then Potts came up and he let on to be mad because I'd cut oft" that tail. One word brought on another, and pretty soon Potts sicked that dog on me—my own half, too, mind you—and the dog bit me in the leg bit apiece out. See that look at that leg! About half a pound gone eat up by that dog. Now what I want to see you about, Judge, is this Can't I recover damages for assault and battery from Potts? What I chopped oft" belonged to me, recollect. I owned an undivided half of that setter pup, from the tip of his tail clear up to his third rib, and I'd a right to cut away as much of it as I'd a mind to, while Potts, being sole owner of the dog's head, is responsible when he bites anybody." "I don't know, replied the Judge, muss inglv. "There haven't been any decisiont on cases exactly like this. But whadoes Mr. Potts say upon the subject?" "Why, Potts' view is that I divided the dog the wrong way. When he wants to map out his half he draws a line from the middle of the nose, right along the spine and clear to the end of the tail. That gives me one hind leg and one fore leg and makes him joint proprietor in the tail. And he says that if I wanted to cut oft" my half of the tail I might have done it, and he wouldn't cared but what made him so mad was that I wasted his property without consulting him. But that theory seems to me a little strained, and if its legal why I'm going to close ot my half of that dog at a sacrifice sooner than hold any interest in him on those principles. Now what do you think about it?" "Well," said the Judge, "I can hardly decide so important a question off-hand but at the first glance my opinion is that you own the whole dog, and that Potts also owns the whole dog. So when he bites you a suit won't lie" against Potts, and the oul thing you can do to obtain justice is to make the dog bite Potts also. As for the tail, when it is separated from the dog it is no longer the dog's tail and it is not worth fighting about." "Can't sue Potts, you say?" "I think not." "Can't get damages for the meat that's been bit out of me?" I •'I hardly think you can." "Well, well, and they talk about American civilization, and temples of justice and such things! All right let it go! I kin stand it but don't anybody attempt to tell me that the law protects human beings in their rights Good.morning, Judge." "Wait a moment, Mrs Scudder,,', said the Judge "you've forgotton my fee."
F-f-f-fee! Why, you don't charge any thing when I don't sue, do you?" "Certainly, for my advice. Mr fee is £tio»
r--
22
"Ten dollars! Ten dollars! Whv, Judge, that's just what I paid for my half of that dog. I haven't fifty cents to my name but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll make over all my rights in that setter pup to Vou, and you kin go round and fight it out Avith Potts, as sure as mv name's Scudder."'
Potts owns the dog now and Scudder guns without one.
