Tor some weeks for the purpose of making re.
pairs to the building, is shortly to be re-opened
Tne building has been much beautified and put
In thorough state of repair; the Library room
considerably enlarged, and gas introduced with
tne intention OF hereafter keeping II open every
evening as well as during the day. We are par
neuaTly gratifed to learn this fact, and hope the
yoons men Of our city will avail Themselves Of
the facilities thus afforded them at a trihing ex.
pense, Of spending their evenings in improving
tnsir minds by reading, instead Of lettering
ABOUT the liquor saloons and corners Of the
streets. We trust our citizens generally will
feel an interest In sustaining and encouraging
TINS enterprise, and though they may not wish
personally to avail themselves Of its benefits yet
in view Of the benefit 1t will confer on others,
will take pride In aiding II by every means with
In their power Among its present friends and
supporters are some Of our most wealthy and in
huential citizens, and we hope many more such

TRIAL OF CAvERLY HALL-From Hon.
w. w. Kingsbury, delegate from Minnesota,
we have the following In relation to the arrest Of
Mr., Hall: ... 20.
81 Caverly Hall, who was arrested on TIL srs-
day last by officers Boss aud Allen on suspicion
of being connected with the robberies at the
National Hotel, had his trial on Saturday before
Justice Dom. No evidence whatever appear ed
TO criminate Mr. Hal, and in fact no definite
charge was made against him. 1t appeared on
trial thar none Of the property in his possession
was that which had been stolen fIom the Ma
fionai On the contrary, the possession of every
timony adduced in Mr.. Halt's behalf The evil
dence of several prominent citizens Of Minnesota
established the fact that his character, while a
resident Of that Territory, was good and that LIE
had, until within short time, been EMPLOYED as
one OF the detective force of the city of ST Paul
The arrest was evidently d mistake-;,u unwar.
peared or evidence which afforded tue least
ground for suspicion. On the contrary, every
thing went to prove that Mr.. Halls cha acter
Tor integrity is above suspicion;
HARRY SANpERsoN's CONCERT. The great
number of entertainments occurring about town
last night, Occasioned a sparser attendance at
SandersOn's concert than his many warm friends
and admirers conld have desired; but we are GER
tam that for the audience, the concert was all
that could have been desired Can somebody tell
Us Something more about those excellent singers
the Misses Heron, who have lately made their
appearance I'D musical circles here and with such
remarkable success, How many times they were
called out last night, by encores we are not pre-
pared to say, but believe that repetition of every
piece they sang was demanded So Of Sander
sons brilliant performances upon the piano
Herr II tdolphsOn received his share Of the ap-
piause OF the evening; and We must not forget to
mention n the unrxceptionable manner in which
frof Thunder-a new face, too, in our concert
rooms-presided at the piano.

FROM WHAT WE HEAR, the exhibition on Fr-
day last, at the Georgetown Female Seminary
must have been highly interesting. The eyer
clses consisted Of Rotations and dialogues in
English and French, elOcution music &c , being
an exhibition OF the daily exercises of the school
rather than an exaggerated aud Ostentatious show
rms Is the first exhibition OF the Seminary since
Miss narrower brcame its princjpal and In ALI
respects Was most creditabe TO her.
CASE FOR TRIAL.--This morning. a warrant
was Issued by Justice Dom, against person
who was accused of selling a Cow in the mar ket
condition, and healthy. The prosecutor de-
ciared that upon attempting to milk the COW she
lonnd that Two OF the teats were spoiled. She
wanted to return the COW but the dealer refused
10 receive her. The case was ruled for trial be-
fore Justice Dom.

BOGUS CoIN.-This morning gentleman pre-
scented US with bogus twenty-five cent piece,
which had been passed upon him short while
before. 1t is strongly suspected that the mint
fom which this coin proceeds is located in or
near this city. 1t is very close representation
OF the genuine coin Of 1853, but may be detected
by greasy feeling, and pewterish lustre pro.
duced by rubbing II between the fingers .
