CITY IMPROVEMENTS

In my varied wanderings over this city, it is
with pleasure | notice the sundry improve
ments among private individuals, in the erect
ing of warehouses and dwellings,, the repairing
of streets, repaving sidewalks, Sc, show a
degree of enterprise not to be equalled by any
city of the same size and population in the
Union. But our public works are few, and
will always remain in the same state, while
the majority of the citizens of Baltimore ma
nifest the same feeling of misconstrued selt-in-
terest that fear they ale becoming proverbial
for
Not long since, there was considerable stir
among the guardians of our city, concerning
great town hall, to be erected on the site of
the Hanover Market, but of late it seems to
have luled into silence; anxious to know the
cause, and feeling an interest in the improve
ments of that neghborhood, proceeded down
Hanover-st. to see if it was not III progress OF
erection, or some preparation making to clear
the ground, when 10! and behold, beautiful
structure, in all the magnifcence OF modern ar
chtecture, burst upon my view. 1t is neat
and handsome building, built of brick, which
think rather an out of place article to build
such an edifice as the town hall of Baltimore
should be; the steeple is pure white as Paran
marble, tall and pleasing to the sight, and does
great credit to the mechanic who follows the
tashioning of the trees of the forest into build
ings for the use of men, Il mean house car
penters,} The heavy doors, the massive win
dows, and in fact the whole appearance of the
building, bespeaks great credit to the builder,
(but not to the enlightened and intellectual cit-
zens of Baltimore.) 1t wants nothing to add
to the beauty of this edice but the removing
of the market sheds, which surround it, and
placing a cedar post and rail fence around its
beautifully laid out grounds to protect it from
the marks, (for cannot call it writing made
by boys calling themselves firemen, in both
red and white chalk, together with all other
markable substances, in the praise and of the
power of those engines, the pride of the minor
of Baltimore, the fire department. @e@
OF the dimensions of this edGce, | have
said nothing, and perhaps it would be we'll
not to, were it to meet the eyes of any except
our own citizens
The site on which the town hall was to have
been placed, is occupied by small though Il
decent looking edifce, but just finished, and
designed for the Clerk of the Market, about
, by % feet square
Thus does the public spirit of Baltimre ma
nifest itself, while New York, Philadelphia,
and Boston, abound in Atheneums, Lyceums,
Town Halls, and public buildings Of all kinds,

INJURY TO THE CROPS BY FROST. We learn
from correspondent at Beaver Dams, Carroll
county, in this state, that the aeighborhoad
was visited by severe frost on Thursday and
Friday nights last, killing the early potatoes,
and considerably damaging the corn and clo-
yer, and it is feared the grain also. Tobacco
plants also suffered, and even the young bushes
and elders were severely bitten. The same
correspondent says the country is IN want OF
ram, complaint, we believe, which is becom-
ing general.

MEssRs. EnIToRs-Doubtless many of your
readers have noticed the wonderful result re-
Gently attained in Europe upon the application
OF Galvanism to growing plants, simply by the
insertion OF strips OF copper and zinc in the
ground near their roots--and am sure they
will be delighted now to learn that to a Balti-
MORGAN belongs the merit of prior and much
more important application of the same prin-
cipe. About year ago, an ingenious me-
chanic of this city invented, under the direc-
ton of one Of our first physicians, plan for
introducing into the solcs of boots and shoes
thin pieces of copper and zinc, terminating at
the heel in sharp-ponted wires, the immediate
effect of which was to produce current of
Electricity through the person of the wearer,
the moisture OF the body proving sufficient
conductor for the fluid.
The object of this contgivance was a medi-
cnal one, but it was soon observed that the
Galvanic fluid thus generated had a remarkable
and unexpected influence upon a child wearing
pair off shoes 50 prcpared-an increase in sta
turc and weight, rapid and unnatural, was soon
noticed Other experiments tested and proved
this singular discovery, having been successful
i'll five out of SIX cases, going far to establish the
theory suggested in that late work t he Nestiges
ofCrCaton, which refers the Principle OF Life to
Electricity.

to prepare the public mind for the statements

SINGULAR DEATH. A young man, named
Womax, at Russelville, Brown CO., Ohio, at
one of his neighbors on the 18th inst, seeing a
hawk alight among the poultry, went into the
house for the rifle; to ascertain whether the gun
was loaded or not, he placed his foot upon the
lock, blowing at the same time into the muzzle;
when his foot slipped off the lock and the gun
being loaded, went of; the ball entering his
mouth and passing out at the back part of his
head, near the left ear.

The FIRE AT QUEBEC-hnlenge destruction
Of proptrty-Loss Of Life. The fire which we
stated yesterday had occurred at Quebec, dcs-
troyed from 1900 to 1000 houses, leaving H.
900 persons without a home, and resulting in
the death of about 100 by accident and other
wise, the bodies of II of whom had been re-
covered at the latest advices. No less than 8
schooners were burnt at the wharves The
scene of the conhagration is described by eye
witnesses as having been perfectly awful; men,
women and children, absolutely bewidered by
the almost instantaneous combustion Of their
dwellings, and in their efforts to escape from
the flames, as often rushing into the midst of
danger and destruction as obtaining safety
One painful incident was the destruction of the
hospital, to which, as being considered entirely
out of the reach of the conf1agraton, numbers
of sick persons ofall classes were carried, when
melancholy to relate the building became g-
nited by the flakes of fire carried from the dis
lance by the wind, and the unfortunate inmates
unable to help themselves, persisted miserably.
The total loss has been variously estimated,
from 81 600 900 to 50, 900, 900.

DR.. TYING AT ST.. GEORGES. This eminent
divine, says the N. Y. True Sun, delivered his
first pastoral discourse in st. Georges on Sun
day morning. The church was crowded to ex-
cess. The discourse was liberal in tone, pow
erfuly written, and most effectively delivered.
The Rev. Doctor presented most wildly to his
audience the distinctive characteristics of high
and low church Episcopacy He advocated the
propriety of extempore prayers to be used at
the discretion of the clergy and laity on special
occasions and at the family altar. His deca-
ration of his own opinions was candid and
manly. We have no doubt the sermon will be
pfinted.

SERIOUS FIRE IN New YoRK-Ohe hundred
ing, fire broke out in the extensive stables of
Mr., F. A, Palmer and Peters, proprietors of the
Empire and knckerbocker lines Of omnibusses,
in Eighteenth st., between Sixth and Seventh
Avenues, which spread with irresistible fury,
and swept away near 100 houses, rendering
some 200 poor families, chiefly Irish and Ger
man laborers, and including near 1900 men,
women and children, entirely destitute Of eve
ny thing but their night clothes. The houses
were generally of little value. Not fifty dollars
worth of furniture or property of any kind, so
far as can be asccrtained, was saved by any of
these poor creatures, and not 20 individuals
were insured at all. Messrs. Palmer s. Peters
had lao horses belonging to their Broadway
Omnibussos,) in the two stables, lo5 of which
were saved: 25 were burnt to cinders, and the
remainder were so much burnt that they were
shot. They were insured for 1850: loss ST.
000 All the ostlers and men about the stable
lost every thing they had-most of them hav-
ing families living in the burnt district The
scene, says the True Sun, beggared description.
Twenty-Five carcasses of horses lay smoking a.
mid the ruins of the stables. The vats of a
soap mandatory, which was destroyed, sent
up horrible stencil. Hundreds of poor Irish
men and Germans, with their wives and chill
dren, were gazing on the desolaton, or attempt
ing to make arrangements for temporary shell
ter, not few of them weeping and mourning
over their irreparable losses.
