WHATlIT Has CosT.-We learn that
when completed with all the eyelets, dc,
according to plans and specifications,
the franklin Avenue sewer will have
cost nearly $4,000, When it is under
stood that we have some four or five
such already completed, or nearly so,
some idea may be conceived of the ex-
tent of the public improvements in the
city. iHa
By next autumn, il no untoward event
transpires to prevent, our principal
streets will be powdered, or laid with
the celebrated Nicholson pavement, and
we shal! have one of the cleanest and
healthiest cities in the State. In addi-
ton to that, it is expected that some
six or seven squares of our wharf will
be paved in the most substantial man.

commerce that is pouring in on US.

ANOTHER NATIONAL BANK. "A new
National Bank is about to be estab-
lished in Henderson, Kentucky, with a
capital of 100000. Ninety.fve thou
sand dollars of the stock has been al
ready taken, chiefly by the citizens Of
Henderson, among whom are many Of
the leading and most wealthy men of
the city. 1t is proposed, as soon as the
bank is organized, to ask for an increase
of $4,000 to the capital stock This,
we take it, is a sensible move on the
part of the capitalists of our neigboring
city, and will no doubt prove a profit.

B@~ Well, Courier, when your people

chants and grocers want to replenish
their stocks, just let them came to New
Albany, where they can be accommo-
dated at all times IN A. Ledger.
Just So Capt Berry went to New
Albany to get shaft for the Lady Lyon.
After much delay, he made arrange
ments to have the work divided between
the two cities-Louisville and New
Albany. 7F.7
The work of forging the shaft was
commenced under the poIderous strokes
of the New Albany trip-hammer, a rick
city affair which soon broke; and while
the proprietors were engaged in repair.
ing the damages, one wall of the build
ing fell down and checked progress.
Capt. Berry still hopes that the two
cities will be able to furnish the shaft by
spring.
In the meanwhile, we would suggest
to some of our interprising machinists
to arrange for forging shafts for steam
boats. They would not have to send
them to another State to have them
turned off and fitted up.

A SONG OF A SLATER.

Upon the church roof perched so high,
The white clouds are. my company
Far down below the shadows iiy
Across the flowing grain
And through the belfry, in and out
A CHEEKY wind is making rout
1t blows the pigeons all about,
And flutters them amain.
Down there, beyond the plum-tree row,
There is n garden-wall know,
Where vines with purple grapes aglow
Encase a garden door.
See, from that nook of leaiy shade
Into the sunlight slips Il maid
hold my breath as half afraid
OF seeing her no more
But on she glides, her sunny head
Now CLEANS above her flower bed
Now, yelled in dappled dimness shed
Through lacing branches, glows
Now at the porch, she will not stay
One moment turns her face this way,
One moment brightens all the day,
Then into darkness goes.
And there beyond my own home lies;
My little brothers voices rise
Among the trees and mothers eyes
know are turned this way
A hundred happy homes lie round,
And in them all my friends are found
What more is in this garden ground
have no heart to say.
