anxiety on account of his Wickedness, Was
arraigned before Justice Frisbie on Thursday
morning charged with picking tho pockets of
Frank Warg, at tho band pio nlo at Mak

Tho evldfllleo Was that whllo Warg was
asleep at tlio pie nlc, McGady went through
his pockets, taking therefrom a silver watch,
a pocket-book containing some money, and
a hahdkerckiefi The evidence against Mc
Gady was circumstantial, as none of the
articles have been found on his person, and
no witness testified that they saw him com
mit tho deed, but it was deemed sufficient to
bind him over to tho high CbUrt),and ho
was held in tho sum of $1000 : in default of
bail, ho was committed.
TtittitAtltSEl) tfttit III R La: It is said by
those who attended, that tho pic nlc giveu
by tho Phconix Band on Saturday evening
was a model success; and it certainly was,
financially, for tho band realized oyer $100
net profit from it; but every sweet has its
bitter, and the members of the band have
felt cxtremelv anxious during the week at
a threat to prosccuto.thcm for selling intoxi
cating drinks, at the pic nic without a license.
This threat, it is understood, was made by
members ofllio Cadets of Temperance, which
organization is under many obligations to
tho band for gratuitous music on several
public occasions ; and it is more than likely
that the threat will not bo executed. But
this is not the first time that tho question of
stopping tho sale of intoxicants at evening
pic uics at Maxheimcr's has been agitated ;
and in the future managers of pic nicsthcro
Would do well to bo on their "giiardi It
would cost tho proceeds of tWo or llirdo pic
nics to pay tho cost of such a prosecution,
ami besides the penalty is imprisonment.
Miscellaneous. James Kusliner,Aaron

conception of life's duties. He congratu
lated tho order upon its acquisition of wo
man's benign influence in its labors of lovo
and charity) likening lief to an angel
of nierey whose hand is ever outstretched
to tho needy and Unfortunate. Of her In
fluence in tho offalrs bf life) ho illustrated
With tho truelsm, "Tho hahd that rocks tho

address by reciting the following beautiful
and appropriate little poem I
The helping hand outstretched to aid
A brother in his need )
Tho kindly word in griefs dark hoar,
That proves a friend Indeed;
Tho plea for mercy, softly breathed.
When justico threatens nigh,
Tho sorrow of a contrite hoart
Those things will never die,
Tho cruel and the hitter word
That wounded as It fell,
The chilling want of sympathy
We feel, bdt neVcr tell ;
The hard repulso that chills the heart
Whoso hopes wero bounding high,
In hn unladen record kept
These things slltllhevc! die.
Let nothing pa;s, for every hand
IWust find some work to do
Lose not a chance tt) lYnttch loVei

from the promised speech, and Mr. Horace

'a humorous reading. Mr. W. L. Styles, in

Jmt all declined for reasons best explained
by Mr. Longstrcet "too full for utterance"
Mr. Stiles, however, UClcrmined to have a
speech, and took tho stand himself. His
subject was a happy one "What to say and
whentdidy it," but be stumbled ujloli an
unlucky illustration of his subject, that of a
man who returns homo from his lod;o at a
lata hour and explains that he has been
watching with a sick brother, but has for
gotten tho brother's name. A fair fist just
to tho right of tho speaker warned him of
tho untcnablcness of his position) and ho
brought tb b. close a speech which) if It had

A frlclld bf Dr. B. 8. Erwln, or Mauch

Colorado, A live Specimen of tho horned

Is not moro valuable for Its rarity than it Is

more of the latter than tho forrtlch It IS
called a toad) perhaps, principally on ac

Tho toad IS not venomous, although its
reputation as a poisonous rbplllo obtained
for it among the superstitious preternatural
powers, and dealeis in magio and witchcraft
have mado much use of it in their Com

it among the ingredients adopted by the
witches in Macbeth to raise the, spirits of
the dead :

Caroiinas, there is found a brindlc, little

head resembles tho specimens of Captain
Ycakcl's and Dr. Erwin's, but has no caudle
appehdagd. It affiliates witli tho oilier va

As wo havo found a load typo merged Into

tho Pamlico sound, and perhaps other south
