CITY IMP RovEMENTs.-Now and then we pe
grudgingly from the Corporation some ina prove
meRt in the city, which is like drop to the bucket
compared with what ought to be DONE A resolu.
tion was recently passed by the Common Council,
ordering the curbs Of the sidewalks at the
corner Of Fulton street and Broadway to be
rounded. This is all right. Bat an additional
improvement is required in that locality Light is
wanted; and the erection of two or three gas lamps
would be exceedingly useful, and save soma of our
citizens from being run over by the wheels of the
omnibuses in the dark. The general lighting of
the city is Lot what it ought to be, and compares
unfavorably with the lighting of other cities.
Surely. the great metropolis of the United States,
the depository of such vast amount Of wealth, is
entitled to at least as much light is enjoyed in
cities of inferior importance. This is matter in
which the interests Of the citizens are sadly neg
lected by the city government.

FREDERICKSBURG "A writer In Fredericks-
burg paper recommends the Improvement of
the navigation Of the Rappahannock river by
diminishing its breadth and erecting stone walls
so as to deepen the channel. Fredericksburg
is a beautiful and fourishing city; its inhab-
itants are enterprising and Industrious and it
lies at the head Of q noble river, which requires
but little assistance to render it navigable for
good vessels This town is the recipient
of large trade from populous and fertile
country, and it needs nothing more than a
moderate degree of well-directed enterprise to
develop its resources and render it a. place of
much Importance We shall be glad to hear
that the people Of Fredericksburg have adopted
some plan for increasing their facilities of trade
and commerce; for q people enjoying the adj
vantages that they do should not suffer their

A FRYING YANKEE.-A Yankee in London at
the Worlds Fair has given a very convincing
proof of the prying character of his countrymen.;
he has succeeded in picking his way into the
best patented locks made by the English manu-
facturers. This feat was done by Mr.. Hobbs,
who operated upon lock placed upon the vault
door Of the State Papers office, and considered
proof against any picklock. In twenty-five
minutes he was in among the state records, and
in ten minutes he relocked the door-a feat, the
lock being detector, that was thought impos-
sible. He is to experiment on another patent
lock, which is to be enclosed between two
boards, sealed by the committee, and nothing
but the hole for the key is to be exposed to
view, and thirty days is to be the period allowed
for opening it. The experiment is looked for
ward to with considerable interest by all per-
sons connected with the trade Mr.. III. is to
get G2O0 for opening it, and he says he wiH do
Il. Mr.. Hobbs exhibits lock, and offers a re-
ward Of GOO to any person who can pick
it or form false key which will open it, after
examining the lock and key for any period they
may please.

NORTHUMBERLAND

ALABAMA C0N0REssMEN.--The Rspublic of
Saturday rejoiced in the result Of the Congress
sional election in Alabama. 1t appears that si1
Democrats and one Wing have been returned
to Congress from that State. In the last Con-
gress the delegation from, Alabama stood ,fus
Democrats and tho Wings. So the Wings have
lost one member at this election. Is this Just
cause for the rejoicing Of the chosen organ Of
the present Wing Administration
But how came the Wings to lose member
Of Congress in Alabama? The loss was made
in the Mobile district, where Charles G. Lang
don, the Mayor Of Mobile and the editor of the
Mobile Advertiser, was the Wing candidate,
one Of the first and ablest men in the whole
southwest. If he had been successful, he would
have had no superiors, and but few if any
equals as statesman, as man of sterling
common sense, and as sound and energetic
business man, in the United States House of
Representatives.
And why was he not successful in district
always Whigs Let US tell why, for we think
we know. a2e Af@
As soon as Langdon was nominated an old
Wing Mobilian sojourning in this city went to
the President, the Secretary of State and the
Secretary of the Treasury, and urged those
functionaries, repeatedly, to dismiss from office
two very influential fire. eating electioneerers in
the Mobile custom house--t0 dismiss from Of
fee the influential fre-eating district attorney
for south Alabama--to expose to the public
gaze the Jdefalcation of two prominent elec-
pioneering firc-eaters in Mobile, whose defalca-
tons stand recorded on the books of the Urea
sury Department, one of the two defaulters being
prominent candidate for the Legislature in
the Mobile district-an in fine, to cripple the
enemy and cut off his supplies, in every lawful
and legitimate way, or else combination and
rascality would defeat the gallant Langdon.
The functionaries thus earnestly and repeat
eddy appealed to, to stand by and sustain the
Wing cause and glorious Wing champion,
promised most faithfully that what was asked of
them, in behalf of the Wings of the Mobile dis
trict, should be done.
But instead of doing what they had promised,
or any part of it, they turned timid and did
nothing, except to grant leave of absence to the
ing the heated campaign, on q visit of recrea-
ton and pleasure to the Virginia Springs
There is pleasant finale to all this. On
Saturday evening last. the Secretary of the
Treasury met, at the National Hotel, the old
Mobile Wing who had first urged the chief men
Of the Administration to do their duty towards
the leading and most influential enemies of
Langdon and the Wing party of the Mobile dis
trict, and held q short colloquy with him on the
subject Of Langdon's defeat to this purport:
Sscretary.--So Langdon is beaten?
Mo6ilian-Yes, sir; and he has been beaten
by three men. l.EH
Secretary. who are they? s.a a."a'

Gov. BRIGGs ON BAcHELoRs.--Ex-G Governor
Briggs delivered an address on Thursday before
the New York State Normal School, at Albany,
which is described as being full of humor, an
ecdote, happy illustrations, and sound argu-
ment in favor of free education. 1t was mainly
an unwritten and unprepared effort, but well
stored with good sense and moral instruction.
Towards the close, he gave the "old bachelors"
scoring, particularly that class of them who
grumble at being taxed for educating other peo-
pies children. We quote his language: "Am
to be taxed to support children not my own ~
grumbles the old bachelor. " Certainly" But
have no children of my own" $50 much the
worse; you ought to have them" But l
have no wife" g Bad again you ought to
have wife and children into the bargain !!
And not having q wife, which no good man
ought to be without, and no children, which are
also necessary, you deserve to be doubly taxed.
Go and present your case to some good lady, as
one fit for her sympathy, and if you are de-
serving of it, you will certainly fnd-it."

INVERTED LoooMoTIoN.-Thc papers tell us
that some interest has been excited in Pitts
burg by the performance of Mr.. Mccormick,
who walks, head downwards, on Tor rather un-
der) slab of polished marble, to which his
feet attach themselves, as he asserts, by atmo-
spheric pressure. He made some six or seven
steps, the slab being only nine feet long. This
experiment is said to be the result of many
years of research and labor, and involving phi
losophical principles.
