Mailamt Young. This remarkable person is still at the United States Hotel, where she will re main three days more. The curious would do well to give her a call, for, from our own experience, we are confi dent she will give satisfaction. In a Bad Box. In passnig up the steps of the City Hall a day or two ago, our ears were greeted by the most impatient and dis tressing noise, which we soon found to ' proceed from one of the inmates of the city hoarding house, in the basement of the building. A folorn looking indi vidual was leaning against the grate, with one arm outside in which he held a piece of plank two feet long, which he applied ferociously to the wall and to the coal dirt under the window, while he yelled, stamped and cursed vocife rously. As wo approached he became quiet, and adapted a more pathetic and intercessory tone. Said he, “For God’s sake, stranger, help me! I live here in town—have a family here who have nothing to eat; they’ve had me locked up here two days—what for, I don’t know, for I’ve done nothing, and am cold, hungry, and (to use his own words) most d—n dry, besides. Do use your influence to get me out of this place, \ if you please, stranger, for I do believe | I shall choke to death.’ ’ Promising to do all we couhl for him we left the window, and hereby respect fully present his case to the tender con sideration of the city fathers. Tile tYendltr. The first real snow of the season, com menced falling yesterday eveuing. . There tvas not enough of it to make sleighing, or to obstruct the cars on our Railroads. This morning it was feeling ly visible, and overcoats and mutfiers were in demand. As tire day wore on the fleery old gentlemen sneeked off, as though ashamed of having attempted so unsea sonable a feak, leaving the field clean to old Boreas, who owed us a visit about this time, and being fresh from the North, he has clearly made his presence known, and now we have not the slight est objection to his taking his leaf.
