The latter not very fully attended but there

between the two, the democrats will undoubtedly carry

day morning opposite the Park II is one OF the line that
runs from City Hall to 2Ith street
| GRoss OUTRAGE AND FALSE lMpRIsoNMENr.-A most
agran and inexcusabe outrage was committed on sun
day last the State OF New Jersey upon Two respecta-
BILE residents of Brooklyn who were on visit to Tren
ton Falls and its neighborhood 1t appears that OR
the Friday night previous the store Of Messrs. Hend

had been burglariously entered and robbed of wool

bitants of the place were, OF course, all IN arms
for the detection and arrest Of the offenders, and ra
ther be disappointed in making capture they very
sagacously determined to take into custody the two
gentlemen above alluded to, viz -essrs Marriott Nc

accusers by all reasonable proofs Of the mistake
which the latter had made,' they and their trunk,
ordered to be searched and their persons were
subjected to the most unjustiable and unbecomng IN
dgntes. Their valises were broken open their bag

custody of officers and by rabble body guard to Eaton
Town. distance OF three miles from the original place
OF arres and had it not been for the accidental presence
of Mr. Bowyer, of the New York Police (whose shrewd
ness and dissemination IN such matters well known)
they would inevitably have been consigned to a

Indignation has been excited by this occurrence among
the relatives and friends Of Messrs. Monaghan and Nc
Kinney-in Brooklyn and elsewhere-and, no doubt,
the trespassers upon their liberty Will he called to
for their lack judgment their rashness and their
temerity.
Hill, and Hodges gentlemen OF high professional ability
in their respective departments will give course OF
lectures and lessons to primary musical teachers ladies'
SC, in October next. The defective manner in which
the elementary principles Of the musical art have usually
been taught, has often led us to wish that something
might be done to improve the qualifications of teachers
and though ten days course of lectures is quite
inadequate to the purpose still glad to see even
lowed by others until the object Is fully achieved We
find that Messrs Hodges and Hill are not as was stated
IN yesterdays paper connected with Mr Hastings the
above Of lectures but that their associate in tins
case is MIR j. f. Warner, the well known translator OF
Weber's Theory &c. and that while their course of
lectures holds connection whatever with the Choral
Union " its only relationship to the American Musical
Convention is such merely as arises from its occurring
at the same time.
Goop.-The man whom the Mayor has stationed in
Chatham street bearing the banner which painted
in large capitals, Beware OF Mock Auctions"-walks
up and down by these establishments with deter.
mined look. Two of the Funks have given it up for
bad job and closed their shopsand probably the others
will soon become tired and follow their example, as bu
will pursue the with the genteel swindling
shops on Broadway country cousins will be under
eternal obligations to him.
WILL SALTPETRE ExPLopEl-This question is now a
prominent in the catechism-but unlike the other
questions. there set down. it lacks answer. will salt
petre explodem We don't know. A committee
appointed by the Common Council to decide the ques-
tion But after nearly two months much
in the dark Why do we not have the report? Sc.

WILL sALrErRE ExrLoDE7--Mr. c. F. Durant. of No.
81 Wall street has sent to the Mayora communication
in answer to this question: copy of which have be-
fore u.s. II is rather elaborate occupying six pages
The ground taken by Mr. Durant is, that saltpetre will
explode when united with carbonaceous matter and that
it saltpetre which caused the explosion in Crocker
Warren's store MIR. Durant does not treat the sub
ec theoretically, but practically He has had many op
portunes for testing the explosive power of sapere
He refers to the blowing up of the ship Harold in 1889
Warren's "in both cases he saws 'the carbonaceous
matter ignted the satpetre and the inevitable results
were explosions with detonatons proportoned to the
strength of confinement" Mr.. Durant offers to prove
by experiment. at his own expense, the same results
with the same matter He thinks that IS lac highlyn
phur and converted the satpetre into gunpowdcr. On
the whole, the communication is of great interest
fact any thing adays is Of interest that throws any
Light upon this vexed question-"Will saltpetre ex-
plodel"
BAD TAsrE--Some of the eating houses on Nassau
street have every day before their doors three
huge turtles lying their backs and gaspng breath
A label is placed upon them stating the hour at which
they will be served up" at much per bowl steak
these are placed here for the pupos of tempting ep
cures to partake OF them when cooked should think
they would fail to produce that end Such exhibition
is IN very bad taste and think the gentemanly pro-
prietors of these establishments would advance their
own interests by disseminating il.
Thar PAvEMsNT.-We don't know of n greater street
nuisance than the wooden pavement at the Wall
ard Nassau streets. few months since it was newly

nued, that depot be established at the corner where
these could be procured by pedestrians will the an,
horties see that Nassau above Wall street is paved
and will they that is paved with something more
durable than pine wood.
