Tin: city is very qiiiet to-day in spite of the approach of election day. This is as it should be. We are . pleased to ee that there arc very few people ob structing the walks or noisily talking politics, to the inconvenience of passers by. Our friends are understanding the requirements of citizens, and we con gratulate them. Tut. cheapest stock of drygoods to be found this side, of New York is at S. Ha x.ST ei x & Co.'s v New York House, lm 15 Market street. 1 1 1; k i x eat Crow. Some boys were engage I yesterday in gathering bird's eggs for a gentleman's collection, and one, more agije than the rest, climbed to the top of a tall tree to reach a crow's nest. In it he found one egg, and care fully "'placing it in his mouth to avoid accidents, he descended. When near the ground he jumped down, but, alas ! the jar was too heavy, and the egg Was crushed' in his mouth. Imagine his disgust when lie found his mouth tilled with egg shell and a small crow. He don't " hanker" after crow ! To make room for a large Fall stock we have deduced our prices, and are now selling our entire stock cheaper than the cheapest. V S. Hanstein & Co., New York House, lm 15 Market street. As announced yesterday the three steamers were out on drill duty un der direction of Chief Engineer Rob inson. The Rankin at the dock, foot of Market street, threw water through 1 ,400 feet hose into a hogshead or tank on Third street, where the Adrian was. sta tioned. This steamer threw water through about 750 feet of hose and emp tied it into a reservoir near Sixth street." The Cape Fear engine here, took water and issuing 850 feet of hose threw water beyond Seventh street. It is to be hoped that Capt. Robinson will have these dt ills often that our Fire Department may work more harmoniously, and with much less noise in ease of a fire. Tim: only chance of getting a suit of clothing, shoes, v shirts, &c, at New York cost, is to go to S. Hanstein & Co's., New York House, lm 15 Market street. Carelessness Again. In Monday's issue of the Post, we warned boys against the careless use of fire-arms and now we will warn those of a more advanced aged, and cite an instance in which one young man came very near shooting himself in the forehead, and ot another voung gent who shot himself in the arm. On Monday one of our sportsmen was in the National Ceme tery hunting and was loading his gun, the right hand barrel was loaded and capped, and our Nimrod was loading the other barrel when the loaded barrel was discharged and a few shot took ef fect in his wrist. Luckily for him his arm was a little to one side and it was Only the scattering shot thatstruck him, THE TOWN CRIER. Mildt--2 Gold is 115. Weather delightful. Mosquitoes are plentiful. State mail slim last night. Stand by your; nominations. Hotels pretty full nowdays. Business is enlivening a little. Vote against the amendments. Bring in the returns promptly. Sol. Bear & Bros, sell fine goods. Melons still in good supply and demand. See that you vote the proper tick ets to-morrow. See that your tickets conform to the one in the Post. J acobi is ! far from being out of hardware. Ax him and see. Most of the inhabitants, as it were, have gone to the Sound to-day. We presume the saloons" "will be closed to-morrow. How dry we will get. Many bets madei on the regatta. " Twn n rrr namr tlio wi'n'nJnff Vuiafc V If any one sees any stray Post re porters at the Sound to-day, we hope they will treat the poor fellows kindly. An opportunity is now offered to those interested to pay their city taxes. Blessed privilege ; happy the man" who hath the stamps so to do ! .Last night as one of our young men who had been out of town was nearing the city he attempted to fire his pistol, and snapped it but did not fire. He was in the act of looking; in the muzzle when the pistol fired, the ball striking the visor to his cap tearing it to pieces and badly frightening him. There is always a possibility of a gun or pistol hanging fire and we think it would be advisable for a person to wait a little while after the cap is snapped before they go to looking in the muzzle to see what is the matter. We do not think . our friends at the Sound could have nianufactured a bet ter day, if they had the power, than to-day, for the regatta. A clear sky and most delightful breeze, renders every ihing lovely. Just about the time the Post goes out to its readers to-day, the yachts are expected to sail, and consid erable interest is manifested because of the new regulations. AVe presume there will be the usual duckings and laugh able incidents conmon to such occa sions and we regret we were unable to go there to witness them.

Church had been dismissed, some thief entered the church and stole the bread and wine that htfd been prepared for the sacrament of the Lord's Supper which was to have been celebrated at the close of the evening service.

He implica ted Wesley Harris who was at once ar rested and taken before the Mayor. Major Williams was allowed to turn State's evidence and being sworn testi iied as follows : Wes. Harris went into the church through the window and took some wine hnd asked me to drink some. I tasted of it but did" not drink any. He then drunk the :wjne and took the jcloth and folding it up gave it to me and sent me out to hide it, and I done so. We both went in at the window and come out the same swav. Wes. sent me out first to look-out. Do not know what time of dav it was. It was just after the afternoon Sunday School was dismissed.

This is the first in stance since 1852, of a conservativej&n didate being elected for the borough. The result, which was not altogether unexpected, caused a general depression in the liberal ranks. In well informed circles it is accepted as virfually deci ding the political campaign. It is almost certain . from the indica tions that the Conservatives will return to power, after the approaching general election, with a fair working majority. It is already stated on good authority that Gladstone will not seek a re-election at the hands. of his Greenwich con stituents, and that he contemplates re tiring finally from parliamentary life. A series of laAV suits are about com mencing against the Erie R. R. One for a formal demand for the adjudication of the Erie road as bankrupt for a refu sal to pay the interest on certain bonds.

By consolidation and construction, a road has been put into operation on the shortest possible line from; Nashville, Term., to 8t; Louis, "the future great City of the worH.'1 This line, the j ST.

Its trains are made up of new and commodious day cars, provided with the celcbratqcf Mil ler coupler and platform, and the Westing house air-brake. 1 It is po6sitively the only line tunning Pullman Palace Drawing-Boom Sleeping Cars through without change lrom Nash ville to St. Louis. No other line pretc4a to offer such advantages, either in distance, time, or equipment. Why, then, journey by circuitous routes? Do not be induced to purchase tickets to St. Louis or the West byany other Hue, remember that The' "St. Loiis & Southeastern" is the shortest, cheapest, quickest, best and j only line under one management irom Nashville to St. Louis, and is from 00 to 200 miles the shortest to St. Louis, Kansas City.
