Moses made one of his speeches to the court in which he elaborated upon the seriousness of Uoliaduy's "offense against the peace anddignity.of tho city, and contrary to tbe statutes in such cases'made and He insisted that the prisoner sh.ou:d he held under bail.

There have been some extensive Improvements made in the city purk lately, which add greatly to the beauty of tiie place. Tiie circular kooh on which the keeper's cottage stands has nil been dug up, the brush thinned out, and the bunks along the drive? Handsomely sloped, and all is ready for seeding' to grass. A driveway has been laid out, which will surue beautiful views of the city, a tfmding footpath has been laid out, at suitable points along which rustic wili be placed. Tbe flower garden is looting fine, nnd considering tiie scarcity of water, ih.e fiowcra are magnificent, but many of them uru uow becinmng to wither.
