The people of Baltimore are familiar with the
proceedings which have taken place in reference to
this building. The Jail originally designed was
to have cost Sl02, $50, and contract was made to
build it for that sum. The amount actually ex.
pended, including cost of furniture, amounts to
1921, ,940.72. The work is not yet finished,
and the above must yet be increased. To
what extent is unknown. The Messrs. REYNOLDS
have obtained judgment against the city on ac-
of this ai for 500, $3.50, with interest from
l9;h July, 1859, and costs, which is ex-
Iusive Of the amount of the above $29l $40 II.
The verdict in their favor was for $685.
1885, but this was reduced by order OF
the Court to the above amount Mayor Swami in
his communication about the Jail does not refer to
this judgment, is supposed because the city has
entered an appeal in this case. Such are the facts
about the Jail. They speak for themselves. Such
a case has, it is believed, never before occurred
and it is hoped that nothing like it will ever
hereafter have to be recorded.

There is also large and unusual number Of suits
pending against the city, some of which are for
heavy amounts the results of which are yet to be
ascertained. The expenses of the various contro-
versies, in which the city has of late been engaged
are great, with every prospect Of large additions
from these sources. There are also various
amounts of appropriations by the Mayor and City
Council for the year 1860, which are not embraced
in the estimate of the Register and which have not
been paid, the total of which have been unable to
ascertain.
In the Mayors communication we find that he

the assets in favor of the city the 3lst December

statement of Mayor Swami? So far from having
cause to boast it will be made to appear that every

Inc litigation in relation to the legality of these
extra dividend bonds is still pending and must be
uecidea by the courts, and the note of SOL 800 in
an PROBABILITY, will not be paid until the litigation

Of n BOilcr-Twelve Persons Killed

OF n BOlIcf-INeiNc TcrsOnS h1lieu.
PrrrspURG, Sept. 2i.-One Of the most appalling
calamities that ever occurred here startled our
citizens to-day.
The boiler in the marble works Of w. W. Wal
lace exploded at one O'Clock this afternoon
There were one hundred men engaged in the
works at the time, ten twelve of whom it is sup
posed were killed and several wounded
The boiler passed through the building reducing
apart OF it to heap of ruins and then struck the
front of a clothing store the opposite side of
Liberty street, killing the proprietor Mr.. Robert
Burkers, who was standing at the door. His head
was nearly taken OF. The boiler then passed
through the rear wall of the store into Swarz's
lager beer hall, which it nearly demolished; and a
named Wipeifer, who was in the saloon was
killed. The boiler finally landed in the Presbyte-
rian graveyard back of the hall, haring pGssed
through tour rails.
The scene at the building was terrific and heart
rending Some of the wounded hobbled out; Others
were removed to the pavement and left there until
they could be taken away. The lower part of the
building mass of ruins, from which assembled
the grOans and shriek5 of the wounded and diving.
At this time, too, the house was fire, and such
scene of death and destruction has seldom been wit
messed here.
As the panic occasoned by the sud
denness of the explosion had subsded, and the
spectators began to realize what had occurred, the
work of removing the dead and wounded was COM
menced and was continued until all had been taken
out.
KILLED.
The following are among the killed in addition to
those named Robert Barker, j. r. Hamilton VIM
Agnew, John McCutchen, James McCutohen

This sum- large as it is may, and doubtless will
be, much increased, inasmuch as what is called the
toating debt is confined to notes given, and does
not embrace liabilities assumed or incurred. The
special appropriations for 1850 with the exception
of those which may be embraced in the above sum
of S3OG,OO0 are not included in the above, and are
not given in the Mayors communication, nor has
he embraced the various outstanding liabilities
other than the notes. While, therefore, the Mayor
has failed to put down the liabilities at their real
amount, he has put down the assets at more than
can be realized from them the 3lst December,

THH UsE AND VALUE OF RAwHIDn.-A
writer in the Country Gentleman says:
How few persons know the value Of raw
hide It seems almost strange to see them
sell all of their deacon" skins for the small
sum of thirty or forty cents. Take strip of
well-tanned rawhide, an inch wide, and a
horse can hardly break it by pulling back
two of them he can not break, any way.
Cut into narrow strips and shave the hair
off with a sharp knife, to use for bag-strings;
the strings will outlast two sets Of bags.
Farmers know how perplexing it is TO lend
bags and have them returned minus strings.
II will outlast hoop-iron (common) in any
shape, and is stronger. 1t is good to wrap
around a broken thill--better than iron.
Two sets of rawhide halters will last q
mans lifetime--if he don't live too long.
In some places the Spaniards use rawhide
log. chains to work cattle with, cut into mar
row strips and twisted together hawser FASH
ion. 1t is good to tie in for q broken link in
a traee-chain. 1T can be tanned so it will be
soft and pliable, ike harness-leather. Save
