A Street Entertainment. Yesterday afternoon a couple of nc* groes and a little cow furnished quite an attraction on the lower end of Forsyth street. The cow was being carried to the butcher shop and seemed to under stand the fate that awaitad her. When she entered Forsyth street she refused to go another step, and lay down on the ground, blockading the street. All the persuasive powers of the negroes could not move her, and quite a crowd gath ered to see the spoit. Some one thought of the water, and soon bad a good stream turned on the cow. She stood it for a while, but finally concluded to move on, and the last seen of the trio they were moving up the street at a slow pace, one pulling at the rope and the other twist ing the tail of the obstreperous little cow. Grand Removal Sale Let It Be “The Windsor." The Times-Recorder: It la under stood that in a few days our grand and beantiful hotel will be named “The Windsor." All the surroundings con sidered, this would ho appropriate, but the simpleness of the name, and at the same time a handsome one, would meet the wishes, we are sure, of the thinking public. To get a name to please all Is an impossibility; but what is wanted is a name that the traveling public mny be attracted to, and one that would com bine comfort with elegance, and the name of "Windsor" would, in our opin ion, convey such. So let that be the one adopted, and all will be satisfied. To the Public.
