,nd 5th Wards of this city, liable to draft, j,eld & meeting ou Frjday evening last. to Lake measures to ftll the quota of the district.- A íubscriptioii paper was prepared. guaranIjeing if sufficient funds are raised, a bounty „f $100 to every vülunteer credited to tbe district; a payment of $100 to eaoh resident who shall put in a substitute; and also, if the quota is not fillod, a paymeut of one hundred dollars to each contributor to the fund who shall be drafted. If tbe fund raised is in excass oí L1M Per man. the PaymeDts t0 be increased pro rota, Each enrolled man is exuected to contribute $25 to the fund, and we believe the Committee appointed to circuíate the suliscription are meeting with vcry good j suocess though not as good as they should. There iome hold backt in the Wards. There are 374 enrolled men; the deflcicincy of the district is now understood to be 32; and at $25 per mauenough money ought to be raised to nuke a ward bounty of 200. The city, ia idditiun, will probably vote 100 per man. -The lst and 2d Wards have adopted subitsntially the sauie course. These Wardb tito 398 enrolled men. L2L " Chases New York MinüreU," aiw candidates for the favor of our citizens, are advertised to appear at Hangsterfer's Hall, on this and to-morrow evenings. The Cleteland Herali says of Ibis troupe : This splendid troupe appeared last night fttthe first úime before a Cleveland audience. Bninird's Hall was crowded, and we are conirfenlthat we but speak the senliments of all uresent mbeo we .say it is one of the best orauizations of the iiud that ever appeared here, amlsome respecta far superior to most, if uot all, traveling bands oí Miustrals. One DOticeable feature 3 their freedora from the uperflnous and exaggerated shirt collar style tljat prevails to so large an exlent mongliie profession, as though it was irapossible to act, lalk or look 'i'mniy" without inextenuated checkered shirt collar, protruding itself sevoral inches above tho head f the performer . The"!umiy business" in thia band is really funnj'. and a'lthough their jokes and sayinga nlay not always Ie peifectly original, tliey ire told in a terse, frexh style, tliat. is periecllr satifactory to the audience. Their instrumental and vocal ransio is of a high order, iad elicited well merited applause. L5C" The little frame building oppósito Hoopers brewery was consumed by firtonthe night of the 3d inst. It was occ'Ulied by Mr. Bt'iiham and r.sed as a match factbry. We believe theie was no insurance. ïhëflremen were promplly on hand but the flírtiés had made sucli progress that they could render 110 asshtance. JCy We have received the August nüraber of the American Monthly Knickerbockr, 4 weU-prrated magazine of 96 pages, "detbted to Li;erature, Art, Science, and Politics." It is eiiited by J. Holmes Agnew, forttierly a Professor in the Michigan Uuiver■sKy. lts literatura is of a high standard, .ítí'cí its politics a decided improvement ou the radical periodicals which have so long mocopclized the field. In fact, it is confessedly md outspoken Democratie, and as such we ■comrtiend it to those of uur readers who wdiW be glad of the monthly visit of a magazine f a healthy political tone. The Editor tnd his enterprise iré endorsed by a large number of the prominent Demócrata of the country, and we hope that both may succeed. {3 a year; two copies, $5. Address J.
