BATHING IN THE RIVERA large number
of boys and half-grown men are in the habit
of bathing daily in the river, near the ferry

Marshal Of Newport will abate the nuisance
at once.

The Horse Fair mt Carthage-Report Ofth
Committee on the Stenm PIoyy.

The weather, day before yesterday, was
very pleasant, compared with that of Friday,
and the attendance at the Carthage Horse
Fair, although not as large as the exhibition
deserved, was quite fair. Twenty-three en-
tries were made on the second day, and the
competition attracted much attention.
The principal feature of the exhibition,
however, was Fawkes's patent steam plow,
which was in operation at intervals through
out the day. In the afternoon, the Board of
Directors Of the Hamilton County Agricul-
tural Society met and appointed Isaac Shuff
Samuel Sayden, B. F. Dale, John @. Hunt
and Alexander Hammell, a committee to ex-
anime the plow and report upon its utility
and practicability. The following is their
report
"Io &c RGard Of Directors of the Hamilton County Ao
ricuhardi Society
"Gentlemen:--You Committee, appointed
to examine into and report upon the merits of
the steam plow of Mr.. Fawkes, now on cx-
hibition at the Fair Ground of the Association,
beg leave to offer the following:
"Your Committee witnessed the machine in
operation, and had fair opportunity of view
its performance of the work claimed for it.
The piece of ground selected was in bluegrass
sward, well known for its tough and resisting
qualities. The plow trayersed the ground
easily and expeditiously, the sod turned being
on an average, fourteen lncneS WlQe ana tOur
and a half inches deep. The plow progressed
at the rate of about four miles an hour, being
faster than plow could be drawn by horse
power. In conclusion, your Committee are
perfectly satisfied with she result, believe the
steam plow to be success in every sense OF
the word, and of fincalculable utility to farm
ers having large tracts to cultivate"
Premiums were awarded as follows G. A.
Scott, for best mare over four years old b.
Senior, for best mare over three and under
four; G. A. Butterield, for best mare over
two and under three; Jesse Wilson, for best
saddle stallion Ben. Higdon for best pain

Contractors AND STREET CLEANING-CoN-
DITIoN OF THE STREETs.-lf any one should
entertain doubt as to the wretched con-
dition of the streets, and by walking along,
not only the more narrow ones and by-ways,
but the principal thoroughfares, were not
convinced that there is q serious neglect
somewhere it is only necessary to attend a
sitting of the City Council, to have every
shadow of doubt removed. Not Wednes-
day evening passes but our city legislators
are reminded, by numerous petitions, of the
defects Of the present system of street clean
ing At the last session of the Council, a
resolution, introduced by Mr.. Mack, member
from the Second Ward, elected discussion,
which fully canvsssed the merits of par
ticular species of evil, of which there are
hundreds now in this city. The resolu-
tion proposed to appropriate the sum of
fifteen dollars for the cleaning of Baker,
street, the contractors having refused to do
the work, alleging as an excuse that the rub
bish had been placed there by parties, two or
three years since. To the inquiry why
those parties had not been compelled to
change the place of this refuse matter, it
was answered that they could not be found.
Mr.. Weasner opposed the resolution, and
declared it the duty of the contractors to re-
move the nuisance themselves, or compel its
removal, by the parties creating II; other
wise, the Board Of Improvements must cause
the work to be done at the expense of the
contractors and this opinion was concurred
in by the greater portion of the members,
nearly every one of whom could name, not
only one instance, but many, of similar
character in their immediate neighborhood.
Indeed, so apparent had the defects in the
old system long since become-and the de-
| feet is in the system as much as the con-
tractors--that an ordinance, known as the
Garbage Ordinance, was passed by Council,
to take effect Immediately after the expira-
tion of the present contracts, Should this
ordinance be inforced--and we presume II
will belt will radically revolutionize the
whole system of street cleaning, or rather,
substitute system for the present absolute
failure; and the convenience to our citizens,
and the sanitary results will amply compsn-
safe for the expense incurred. Should it moi
be executed, however, it will be worse than
no ordinance; for, on this subject, at least, q
bad law inforced, is better than good one
neglected. .--..'-. -.......
The system is not an original one, but Il
copied, with such notifications as our sitna,
tion rendered necessary, from that already
adopted in almost all our Eastern cities, will
the most satisfactory results; and in which
its inforcement is found to be comparatively
easy. 4.ssl'lg..s 81. n. as9 N gi

SUfFERIHGs OF A DESERTED WIFE-A BABE
Born IN A STATION woman, Mary
Fouchard, whose husband deserted her, some
five months ago, leaving her in maternal
condition, and compelling her to gain liveli-
hood, obtained a situation in family ON
Fourth-street where she lived some time,
endeavoring all the while to conceal her pc
culiar state from her employers. This was
at last discovered, however, and though she
told her story as it was, she was disbelieved,
and ordered to depart. The poor woman
was once more homeless and an outcast; but
having a little money the proceeds of her
wages, she wentto a common clearinghouse,
where her slender means were soon ex-
hausted. She related her circumstances to
the female with whom she boarded, but the
hard-hearted creature bade her go forth
though she starved, and even told her she
might, for all she cared, perish in the streets.
Mary was again houseless wanderer, and
after roaming about for several days and
nights, she sought shelter at the house of her
mother-in-law, on Butler-street; but there
she was not only refused admission, but
cursed from the door. She passed that night
wednesday, in a lumber yard, and after beg
ging from door to door for food, and being
forced to lie in the street exposed to the pitt
less storm, she attempted, nearly exhausted,
and in an almost dying condition, to gain
entrance into charitable institution.
The managers believed her an imposter,
and sent for the police, who committed her
to Pearl-street Station, where, yesterday af-
ternoon, she increased the worlds misery by
a breathing unit, and was at last accounts in
quite comfortable condition. Poor woman,
she had suffered enough to have died, and
would have done so had she not possessed a
constitution of iron. That she did not per-
ish wretched pariah in the street. is no fault
of the unfeeling world, whose charity is
cruelty, and whose goodness more balefpl
than a curse.
