sbundantly supplied with everything in the line Of
provisions and vegetables. The prices have fallen
even below the usual rates, the farmers having
brought in all their marketable produce, expecting
the high prices Of Tuesday and Thursday. Eggs
have declined to twenty-five cents and other things
in like proportion.
Even beef is growing cheaper The wholesale
price is from % to 90 per cwt, against IS and ~
heretofore given.
This is very pleasant news, indeed, to boarding
house keepers and men Of families, who no doubt
have been wishing for this time to come, for the
past three months.
PIcKPocKETs--This class Of felons appear to
have arrived again in city. Weheard of several
cases ofpocketpicking yesterday, and the Sentinel
of this morning says, that AT the circus, on
Thursday night, several persons, while enjoying
the acrobatc and equestrian performances, were
quietly relieved Of their porte-monnaies and early
yesterday afternoon, gentleman in the densely
crowded Senate gallery lost five dollars by the
hght-fngered operators while another, in company
with two ladies, had his pocket picked Of between
fifty and sixty dollars and his cloak stolen from his
back /
We should call this the coolest proceeding i'm
sginable, and we would advise all who wish to save
their money, to leave II at home.
THE FAIR still continues to be crowded nightly,
although il has now been open nearly four weeks
As everybody with their wives have to go three OF
four times, in order to be able to discover all the
mutitudinous inventions and articles Of taste this
Is partially accounted for.

IMPROVEMENTS OF EVANSVILLE
German Evangelical Sion Church.


There has been but one church edifce erect
ed in Evansville this season. All seets APP
pear to be pretty well supplied with churches
by this time the tall steeples Of which are
pointing to heaven from almost every part Of
the city. The German Evangelical Sion
church congregation, under the pastorage of
Rev. Christian Schrinck a devout and most
worthy man, have just completed large and
very substantial building for the worship Of
God, in the upper part Of the city, on the site
of their old church. 1t is the third in size of
all in the city. 1t is built of brick, of very
superior quality, and all the material used, and
the workship employed are of the most sub
stantial quality. The dimensions of the
building are 4oby rs feet, and 26 feet 6 inches
from floor to ceiling. The ceiling is arched.
There are two aisles leading from the front
doors to the pulpit, with two tiers Of pews in
the centre for females, and two outer tiers for
males. These pews will accommodate about
600 persons comfortably. The pulpit is very
neat, and raised high so that the minister's
head may be about half way between the floor
and ceiling, by which and broad sounding
board above, the voice even when low, can be
heard distinctly to the remotest corners of the
room. On each side Of the pulpit are pews.
The windows are in the Gothic style, and very
large. The sash of these windows, are made
entirely of light cast iron, and cost less than
the window sash Of similar windows in the
Iio oh, or ha,,a A
present, there is no steeple to the church, but
adesign has been prepared for one similar to
that of the German Evangelical church, though
not so large. 1t will be erected just so soon
as the means of the congregation, who are
poor tn ugh numerous will admit. The roof.
ing Of the church Is built very strong, so that
when the present single roof shall decay, a
slate roof may be substituted. @
There is one fact in connection with the
erection of this church, which speaks well fol
the congregation and their energy and indus
try. 1t was erected entirely by themselves
both pecuniarly and practically. They found
the means, and members Of the congregation
did the different parts Of the work, the carpen
tering, brick work, &c; &c. The work ha:
been nell done too throughout. t9e
We may say here in this connection, tina
the Germans of Evansville and Lamasco, have
six churches, all well attended. They have
the three largest or among the largest churches
in the city They appear to support thei
preachers well, have good places of worship
and lend them free and steady attendance.

The Mayor---City Council, &C.

In making paragraph in aIlusion to city
papers nonsensical article about our Mayors
salary, &c, and its appcaIto tax payers in
view thereof, we have been slightly misappre-
hended, but the faalt.was our own in not-sta-
ting details. The general salary Of our Mayor
Is $500, which is paid in City Orders, and nets
about S27o. This year, the Mayors salary.
in view of his, performing. all the duties of
street CommissionerlEha has been raised to $500,
payable in the same manner. The Council, at
its last weeks meeting, passed an order allow
ing him $3.50 for his half year'ssa1ary. 1t be-
ing entered wrong in the minutes, it was so
copied in the journal, as being the allowance
of his quarters salary.i3 The salary of the
Mayor was not fixed blythe, present Council,
so that an attempt to fix stigma upon it in
this connection, is absurd The Enquirer
yesterday apologized for stating that the mem
bers Of our City Council received ST per night
for its services For once, and the only time
within our. recollection, it confessed an, error
We hope that to-day it viii confess its error
in regard to the Mayors salary, and thatito-
morrow it win apologize for its charge relative
| to the Fire company donations-then it will
be precisely where. it started except little
deeper in the contempt of the public. we
have heard the Enquirer's original article con
demned in proper terms by those who arr
classed among the most ultra Old Liners IL
the city. 1t can make nothing by attacking
our present City Council. It's members arr
earnestly trying to do their duty, and withou
ANY direct reward. The attack on any por
ton Of them falls upon all, as they appear t
be very rarely. divided on. any subject, AM
still more rarely is there political division
among them. They are not working as par
tizans, but as, good citizens and all attack
upon them or upon any portion Of them, s.
long as they are earnestly seeking to do ,the
duty, should be repealed by all as abuse Of TIL
whole body. ,4ss5-f7a

Marine Hospital.

This splendid building is. now nearly COM
pleted But little more work remains to be
done. It stands on beautiful position just
below the city, and is the first thing that
strikes the eye of the stranger on steamboats,
coming up or down the river miles distant.
This building was erected by Government at
a of nearly sixty thousand dollars. Il is
built on a plan similar to that of the Marine
Hospitals at Louisville and Paducah, yet it is
a handsomer piece of work with the improve-
ment of beautiful iron verandahs and cast iron
pillars in front and rear instead Of mere brick
pillars and palings. Hon. Jas. Lockhart is SUI
perintendent in the erection of the building,
and Mr.Jas. Roquet, Architect. This building
is oneof the most elegant specimens Of pressed
brick work in the West. 1t has been built in
the most substantial manner throughout. All
the floors are double and filed in thus deadning
sounds, and making very solid floors. The
mantels are of fine italian marble. -e.. IS
The brick for the building were made and
burned on the ground, by Mr.. McInerny. The
corners or angles of the building from the
ground up, are of finished stone and OF course
the foundations the same. The Cloverport
stone has been used for this, it being selected
from number of specimens presented to the
examination of the authorities at Washington
The building will b. heated throug bout BY
furnaces erected in the cellar The roef i
covered with very heavy article Of tin. This
ediffce will comprise many late improvement
not in,sinilar buildings in the West. No ex
pense has been spent in its erection to make i
complete in every particular, and substantial
enough TO stand earthquakes. BY contract, !

The Professor noticed some beets, and spoke
OF their naturalization, and the inferiority pro-
duced by it. He then took up couple OF
pears, Of kind recently introduced from
France, which command almost fabulous prl-
ces in the East. They are grated on ounce
bushes, and ripen off the tree in January, Feb

mcnt to the city, and we class it first among
our public improvements as SUCH Itstands in
the centre of a block of three acres, and will

This Hospital is lob feet long, by Sc feet
deep, with two fronts, exactly similar in APP

contains about fifty rooms. In the first story
there are large reception rooms, 20, feet square,
with sliding doors, so as to throw them into
one large parlor. The building is three stories
high with a. fine light basement half above

the Marine Hospital aas we have inpreyious
