Proressors of music are generally eccentric

We know.of one gentleman who late!y was forced to gef up at 2a.m., with the thermometer at 13 below zero, to drive from his yard a quadruped in the semblance of a cow, when ho found two other persons on the same erranc. 23 himself. Last night a stout ransical gentleman, holding a considerable official position, after making sixty-four New Year's calls, was obliged to lie all hight listening to the melancholy howling of the vile animals aforesaid.

‘Spoon Stearine. —Daniel Carroll and Ter- rence McAtee were charged before the Stipen- diary Magistrate tlis (iriday) forenoon with stealing fourteen siiver spoons, two silver but- ter knives, and a yiass receiver from the din- ing room ef the ‘‘Farmers Arms,” Queen street. The facts of the robbery, as far a3 we can learn, are :—Shortly after five o’clock on Wednesday evening the spoons were missed from the dining-room cupboard. Mr. Crabbe, the proprietor of the hotel, was informed of the fact and he, suspecting Carroll and Mc- Atee of committing the robbery, made com- plaint against them {at the police station. They were promptly arrested and two of the spoons taken were found on Carroll's person, but no trace of the stolen property was found on McAtee. Carroll gave no reason for hav- | ing the spoons in his pocket. Both prisoners were remanded eiyht days.

In fact, they have thrown a gentlemen who carries on a like business, en- tirely into theshade, No doubt this is owing to the cheap rate at which the firm obtained the bottles. The secret is: They go io the house of a eitizen whom they know to be from |hiome—citizens who have a quantity of saleable bottles—enquire for the mistress of the house, and on her appearing,
