IMPROVEMENTS AT THE BATTERY-THE CAUSE OF
MS DELAY.-The extension Of the Battery, which has
been under variable Roadway for the past three years.
is progressing very slowly, and from the present sp
pearance there little probability that it will be COM
pleted n less than two years time. This is owing
chiefly we are informed, to the small force which has
been employed in carrying on the work. From the
time Of its commencement, up TO the present Day
there have only been about thirty carts engaged IN
conveying dirt while there is work enough tor twice
that number, and for which an ample remuneration
could be realized. The time allowed for its compile
ton was three years. and thst time has now expired
Yesterday we called at the Office Of the Contractors,
where we received the following Information: 1t ap-
pears that in the year 1884, the Legislature Of the
State Of NewYork granted TO the Corporation Of the
City Of EewYork charter to extend the Battery 300
feet at the junction of the North and East Rivers.
The subject was soon dropped and nothing more was
said about it, until the latter part of the year 1851,
when It again brought up for consideration. In
1862 the Corporation offered proposals. for the making
OF the extension, and Mr.. II. p. Concklin came
forward and accepted the contract, three
years being tho time allowed him 70 finish
the work. On the 2lk Of Novembes the contract was
drawn up cad dgasd, sa& ths rsqared bqp& giyes TIT

HEAVY VERDIcT.-Among the many
cases decided al this term Of The Circuit
Court was The following, which we think
worthy of record. This was al action
of Samuel NJ. Long vs.. Humberl's Exc
cutor, for Usury. The plaintiff contend
ed that in the lifetime of Humberi, ne
(HumberD had taken plaintiff bond Tor
doubIe the amount due, and evidence was
introduced to sustain the plea. A mum,
Der of bonds executed by plaintiff and all
bearing upon transaction were also miro
duced--aIl these bonds have been taken
up annually by plaintiff and new bonds
executed--it was on the last bond eNecu.
ted that suit was brought. This bono
was for about $4,000, and the Pla!nlIh
commended that the original debt was f'r
about $1,000, and that the $1,000 bono
was executed for double the amount due
in consideration of forbearance. The
case was deliberately argued by ingenious
and able counsel and excited much inter-
est. The July, after short retirement
rendered verdict for the defendant lthe
holder of the bonds which with interest
amounts to between $1,000 or $4,000.

A Fact for Ladies.--A writer on fash
ion says that founces, by marking the
hegh, at regular intervals, take away from
it, and make short figure look shorter.
For this reason, short persons should not
wear stripes running in parallel rings
round the dress. Perpendicular stripes
upon dress make the wearer look taller,
like the flutes in acomPosite. 1t is too
much the Custom of all who would be
considered fashionable, TO initiate the pre-
vaiing mode, regardless Of lis suitability
10 face or form. When founces and
hoops. as now, are worn, short dumpy la
dies hounce up 10 their ears, and extend
their diameter infinitely beyond their per
Pendicular measure. which gives them
ludicrous appearance enough somewha,
similar 10 a Dutch built brig, under lulI

HE MoRMoNs.-We give place to a
portion of Mormon news upon The first
page OF to-day's paper, from which it will
be seen tina, the Mormons are beginning
TO assume belligerent attitude towards
the Government troops which have been
sent to that Territory. 1t will be seen
that Brigham Young sets al defiance the
laws of our Government and is ready al
any moment 10 resent our troops at the
point Of the bayonet, aided by an army of
twenty thousand Indians, which will
swell Brigham's whole army to at least
forty thousand, all well equipped with
plenty of munitions of war and pIovis-
ions. Thus it will be seen that it de-
mands our Government TO send large ar
my, instead Of hand full Of men, as has
been the case, 10 exiermnatc them and
bring them TO suhjectinn. There should
be no mincing matters with them. If
they are permitted to practice their i'm
rnoraites under the cloak of religion
should be taught to recognise the author.
