"UNCLE" JOHN DOUGLASS.He Will Hay. His Cherished Birthday

l'urty on .Monday."Uncle" Johu Douglass is to havo a

jollybirthday party, after all, on his 70thanniversary, which falls on the same dayof the month as that of Washington,namely, the-Ski. Anil this result is dueto a few generous-hearted persons whoare not unmindful of "Uncle" John's oldage and dependent condition.

Yesterday a young lady (.who gave hername as "Miss M. K."j left $1 at theRecori>-Union office tobe added to thebirthday purse for the old \ eteran of theMexican war. The following note wasalso received inclosing another dollar:

Bacj______nto, February 19th.Eds, Recobd-Union: Please rind InclosedJlfor "Uncle"John Douglass, to help him

.tt: bis birthday and Washington's; also,that ofmy lather, who was a soldier Ol Is 1:---and a Colonel tn the Vermont State mtiitia.My mother was a gr___c__.ee. ofColonel ElbanAllen, whom the tied Men intend to honor intheir tableaux on the 22d.

Mrs. S. L. Rk-hakus.The good ladies of the Women's Chris-

tian Temperance Union bave kindlytaken upon themselves the matter of pro-viding a reception for "Uncle" John onMonday next. It will bo held in theirrooms on Third street, between X and L,from 4 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, whenall who feel disposed to contribute some-thing forhim, or to help make the occa-sion a pleasurable one, are invited to bepresent.

The children are especially invited tobe there and to bring some token of theirregard for their venerable friend, how-ever small it may be.: An interestingprogramme ofexercises is being preparedtor the occasion.

U., or leavethem at this office, whence the moneywill be sent to the ladies, to be handed tohim on his birthday.

NOT DIVIDED.Leeal Expressions Give a Wrong Turn

to a Lady's Petition.Reference was made the other das^ to

the application of Mrs. Affie Wickers ofWalnut Grove to be appointed a soletrader, m which some legal expressionswere used that seemed to imply familydissension. Mrs. Wickers writes to saythat both herself and husband weromortified thereat, and she adds:

"WTe do not like to have a such an ideaeast to the public as that seems to say.The purpose of that step was that mysignature might be safe in my husband'sabsence. Our laws are such that, in orderto obtain what is desired, one must con-form to certian specified forms of ex-pressions that are often misleading, as inour case."

It is said by those who are presumed toknow that Mrs. Wickers and her hus-band live together in peace and har-mony.

POOR M'HALE.The Unfortunate Youuk Ball-Player

Becomes More Violent.Robert Mcllale, the well-known ball-

player, whose mind has become de-ranged, was removed from the CityPrison to the County Jail yesterday, andwillprobably be examined by the LunacyCommissioners to-day.

During the afternoon the unfortunateyoung man became so violent that JailerJohnson had to coufine him in a "tank"cell. Here Mcllaleshouted and tore hisclothes, and when some friends oulledand -poke to him through the cell-wickethe spat, in their faces.

Nothing has been learned yet as towhat caused the sudden insanity of theyoung man, but it is thought to be morethan a temporary derangement.
