CEErnE MARxEr.-We have recently seen two
plans for the improvement Of Centre Market
square. One of them was projected in lS47, and
the other three or four years ago, by Robert Mills
architect The subject being now in agitation.
and an earnest desire expressed for the erection Of
buildings better suited to the purposes of trade.
these plans possess more interest than heretofore
The first 10 designed with view to revenue and
the reduction of the taxes The general dimen.
stone are. on Pennsylvania and Louisiana avenues.
fve hundred and sixty fest; front on Seventh
street, three hundred and fifteen feet; front on
Ninth street, five hundred feet; front on or Canal
street. five hundred and twenty three feet; depth
OF front buildings, fifty three feet. The edifice 10
be three stories in height, built of BRICK with an
octagonal clock-tower; range of stores on Penn.
sylvania avenue, FIRST floor, with court for the
market The second story, a spacious and grand
saloon; the third, for exhibition rooms, societies,
armories, and for other uses. The second plan
embraces two stories the lower exclusively for tn.
market, and the upper a spacious saloon: the
structure to be of the Greek Doric style of archi
lecture, chaste and elegant in appearance, with a
grand centre, surmounted by tower and spire.
The fish market to be erected over the canal.
We learn that Mr.. Mills has tho subject still
under consideration; and there may be other gem
tlemen occupied in projecting plans with view to
the same object.
As over ten thousand dollars have been SUBJ
scribed for Metropolitan Mechanics Institute
rooms on the site of the Centre Market, and az
there are not sufficient accommodations for the
Disrictcourts and the municipal corporation in
the City Hall, we are of the opinion that there
should be no unnecessary delay in commencing
the work, not only for these reasons, but because
more suitable market arrangements are demanded
by the public.

improvements, some of which might, perhaps, be
adopted here TO advantage. "Tbe interior is ven-

therefore fixed to prevent either ratrlng
noise, or disputes about opening and shutting
them. The back OF each seat is curved outward,

SINGULAR ArFAIR.-The Cumberland IND y
Journal of Friday relates the following singular
occurrences:
"On Wednesday of last week the dead body of
young man was found in the Potomac river, near
the big tunnel of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
From fracture OF the skull and other injuries he
was supposed to have been dealt fouIly with. Vari-
Gus surmses as TO the identity of the corpse were
entertained, when Captain Henry Troutman, of
the Cumberland night watch, became convinced
that it was the body of his son James, who bad
been at work in the vicinity, and missing at
tee time. eoroner's jury was summoned from
Cumberland, and the body was fully identified By
Captain Troutman and others "a that Of bis son.
Particular marks were pointed out by the dis
slightest doubt on the subject. The jury returned
an unanimous verdict based upon the facts as thus
set forth.
The body was consequently decently inferred
by Captain Troutman, " DO forthwith arrayed him.
self in the garb Of mou rning, and engaged the SER
vices of q minister Of the Gospel to preach fune
raj discourse the sad occasion. 1t turned out,
however, that, on Sunday morning last, the dead
son of Captain Troutman deliberately walked I'D
70 his astonished father and informed him that be
was not dead! The mingled surprise and delight
Of the father may be imagined. The fact ia, the
young man had been at work in another direction,
and upon hearing Of his reported demise returned
to Cumberland to relieve the approximations of his
parents.
"Ihe dead man 10 supposed to have been boat

into the river. Some persons suggest that be was
