consequence of q failure to pay the inte-

THE NICHOLSON PAvEMENT.-Forrest,
Montgomery & Co.'s workmen COM
menced tearing up the old Nicolson pave
ment on Jefferson street, between Front
and Main streets, yesterday morning.
The pavement was put down as an expe-
riment about eight years since, and con-
siderable interest was manifested by our
citizens to see how it looked. The white
oak blocks were almost as sound as the
first day they were laid, while the red
oak blocks were completely rotted. The
planks on which the blocks rested were
sound. Itseemed to be the general opin-
ion formed on witnessing the condition
Of the old pavement, that the Nieolson
now being put down on the streets in the
improved suggested by several
years experience and with more durable
blocks. would last for at least twenty
wears.
