Polioa Court
Only two cases were tried in the
police court yesterday morning, not
withstanding the bad weather and the
unusual amount of drinking
indulged in during the past few days.
It was thought that the docket would
bs a heavy one as there were not a few
cases that ordinarily would have been
hauled up. Wc presume, however,
that considering the fact that snow
falls hero only about once in fifteen or
twenty years the occasion was regard
ed as a holiday season end consequent
ly a great deal was overlofiked.
Jennie Porter, colored, was convict
ed of talking too much with her
mouth, and had to pay two dollars or
work five days.
Jim Hadley plead guilty to fighting
and was given his choice of working
ten days or paying two dollars and
costs.
All Right Now.
The arc olectric lights were all right
las’, night. For two or three nighls
previous they bad not been burning.
During the snow storm and sleet an
accident, an unavoidable one, occur
red, hence causing the shutting of! of

vigorously to work and now have the
damage repaired. There was never
any trouble with the incandescent
ights. They are steady ai clocks.

Out of Place.
Oh you snow, yoi ‘biautiful snow,"
Why don’t you (all where you’r booked
“don’t you know,”
Aud let us who live in the “land of flowers’’
Enjoy our usual gentle showers.
When the moisturo from heiveu fulls on us
down here,
It shouldn't appear in a garment so queer,
And our shoulders ain’t shaped in the way,
‘•don’t you know”
That fits under your mantle “oh hcaat’ful
snow.”
Uavo the elements above us all joined in a
“strike”
And resolved that wc all must be served
just alike?
Or has the cterk of the weather, that queer
old loon,
Been Stirling things up with too big n spoon?
A welcome for strangers down hero is as
sured
And if they’re '‘consumptive” they’re sure
to be cured.
But to such your icy touch brings nothing
but woe
So gojback where you come from oh, “beau
tiful snow.”
