man elect from Ward No. 2, appear

Alderman Hitchcock was appointed
Chairman of Committee on the City
Clock, and was also appointed on the
Commlttee on the Market and City
Scales.
The Chairman of the Committee
on the Market submitted the follow
ing reports, relative to the building
and completion of the new market
house:
t. w. RADcLrrFE, Chairman Of the
. Committee on the Market
SIR: We have the honor to report
the new market building in such q
state of progress towards completion
that, at the request of your Commit
tee, we have accepted it.
The work having been commenced
IN the winter, its progress was neces-
sarily slow, but the contractors
Messrs. Kirk & Howell
in ralsing the walls without material
injury to them. The ealmostincessant
rains of March and April having
completely saturated the foundations.
we considered it necessary to recon-
mend to the Building Committee the
propriety of erecting three cross
walls on either side, between the
inner and outer row of piers, thereby
providing effectually against the con-
tlngency of violent storm prostrat-
ing the building. This was accord
lngly done. the walls acting as but
tresses against lateral thrust fully
insured the stability of the structure,
which, at the period alluded to,
would have been in imminent danger
from the causes mentioned, had this
precautlon not been taken.4
Not finding sufficient number of
old brick in condition fit for paving
the central avenue, new were ordered
for that purpose The outlay will,
III the end, prove economical.
Gas piping has been laid through
out the building, ready to receive the
brackets.
BY instructions of your predeces-
sor III office, we prepared designs for
fitting up the stalls in an uniform
manner. One stall has already been
completed as q sample 1t is neces-
sary that protection of some kind
should be provided for the vender
before the winter season arrives, and
we, therefore, respectfully suggest
the completion of all the stalls
Some of the granite steps from the
old City Hall have been placed at the
South porch-a sufficient number
still remains to surmount the porch
entirely, should your Committed deem
it advisable.
There has been laid in the new
building 100000 brick, taken from
the old City Hall. which, at their
market value of $500 per 1000,
were worth 81, 200, and the different
contractors work amounts to S6, 437. :
9O-the value of tho building, there
fore, is S7,697.9O.

.JustIce's Court,

BEFORE ESQUIRE STINs0N.-Walter
Bruce filed an affidavit against Fred.
Kerr for assault and battery. A brief
examination satisfied His Honor that
there was no real cause of complaint,
and dismissed the case.
Petty cases of assault and battery,
superiuduceds by malice, are becom-
ing annoyingly frequent, and it would
be well if both parties could be occa-
sionally, fined and costed. II would
be productive of good, we doubt not.
LUNAoY.-The party, of whom we
made mention yesterday, as iaboring
under an attack of mania q potat, or
temporary insanity, had an examina-
ton, yesterday, before Justices Stin-
son and Walker. Several witnesses
were examined, but the Justices were
not sufficiently satisfied of his insan-
ity as to send him to the Asylum. If
the individual is sane, it is the most
remarkable sanity we eyer saw.
Since last Monday, week, the man
had remained in his room most of the
time entirely naked, because, he said,
1.-THE Lord had so commanded him, "
and many other 3,incohefent phrases
and singular acts, seemed to justify
the belief in his insanity, His eyes

we really cannot believelhe is safe
man to be at large. He is a splendid
looking man, and evidently highly
educated. It was finally arranged
that he should leave town last night
or this morning.
