subject Of market house TO be situated in a cen
tIal location in the Seventh Ward Is agitating
the popular mind, and at the same time en-
beavers are being Instituted for doing away with
several old established anneyances which have
i1nS since become the objects Of especial anxiety
To those interested In the welfare OF this import
ant portion Of the Federal Metropolis. In view
Of the wants OF the fast augmsnting population a
number Of the leading citizens have determined
10 call meeting Of the citizens Of the ward for
the purpose ofstaking into serious consideration
among other things. the opening of Sixth street
through to Pennsylvania avenue, the building Of
Geek. 'T
With respect to the latter object there can be
no doubt but that the health OF the entire city Ia
more or less aArcted by the condition of James,
Greek during consider able portion of every wear;
hut al the same time there Is prospect that the
proposed Improvements at the Arsenal will ef.
feet this object without the Interference of the
citizens. 10 prepare the ground for the erection
Of the proposed Arsenal buildings much grad
Ing and filing up will be- required, and the
amount OF filling up'will far exceed that Of grad
ing, so that there will be a necessity for the use
of large amount OF material more than will be
obtained from the cutting down Of the elevated
portion OF the ground to beimprOved That side
Of the late purchase which lies next TO the river
will require all the material which will be OBJ
tanned from the excavation. The question Will
then arise as to the best place from whence to OBJ
tain the material for filling I'D that portion bor
dering on James Geek; and here is the plan for
abating the pestilence which, rising al this point
Is every day and every hour during the warm
months of the year, convened ali through the
city and is the foundation Of the fortunes Of nine
tenths Of the medical fraternity. In James Greek
Is TO be found this material the removal of which
from its bed will not only drain the marsh and
render this now waste territory useful and yalua-
bic, but will save the Government the expense Of
hauling from distant places Thus a tvo-foId
object Will be attained at a nominal expense
But the subject OF a new market house for our
nelghoors OF the Seventh Ward seems to be a ls-
gltlmate question for them TO discuss The time
will eventually come when the Centre marked
VIII cease TO exist at its present ocatioB IL will
give place to more important matters, and it be-
hooyes the people Of this part OF the city 10 look
TO the question in season, of their accOInmoda-
ton. The Island Is becoming thickIy settled
even to its most extreme southern limits, and the
distance which considerable portion of its pou
uatiOn are now compelled travel fo5 articles of
daily domestic consumption, is becoming mat.
ter OF serious contemplation to them; and il
properly fOstered, will soen end in the establish
ment Of good aTket- house in a central mart of
this extensive community. We notice with
pleasure the activity of the Seventh warders
upon this subject.

spirit Of improvement Is observable all about the
place. Mr. George Wright, the master of the
machinists department here, is engaged upon the
ment Of the vessels designed for the ex TO

cradle skill in their construction, and are in the
proper hands to insure their coming out all rio ht

No SOUL FOR MU.Ic.-Mr Ediioy. In the Star
ofyesterday noticed particularly the notice OF the
nuisance 10 which our citizens have been subject
ed for some time past by the organ grinders g.
Another class, equally to be complained Of are
those who hawk about our principal streets fruit
vegetables, &c, blowing at every few PAGES of
their progress, those miserable, shriil tin horns
much TO the annoyance Of The well, but severely
painful 20 the afflicted sick. II there Is any law
70 prohibit this nuisance, II is noticed either
o. the police or others. A word from youT pro-
Inc pen may give much relief TO MANY Of Your
nots rs, QUIKr.
The only way in which our nervous correspon-
dent can surely get rid of the organ grinding
nuisance In these times, is for him to abandon
all thought OF living in city, and take MP his
dbOde-say la Some cave. As for his tother
nuisance-th2t OF the tin horn or the coster-
