Itied to observe, however, during n late
walk eastward, that IA considerable
number Of Improvements are being
made. Several new brick houses are
nearly finished, aud excavations are
being made for others. Perhaps, in

The ISLAND as a place OF residence is
growing in favor day by day. 1t Ia IL
comparatively cool. quiet spot: the
wafer brought mp through the sand and
gravel below the surface loan, is of the
yery sweetest aud sortest quality; ev-
erytbiug tends to make it IA pleasant
place to dwell. There is one objection
10 II, however, and that il the liability
10 be overlooked by the spring floods Of
the Ohio. But this seems to be lightly
considered by those who are seeking
homes, and the consequence Is that a
good class of people are moving there
and property has gone up amazingly.
The POLICE COURT was dull, yester-
day morning. John Rodgers for viola
ting the ordinance relative to the Mar
ksr House, was fined one dollar and
costs.
rhoi case of c. II. Quimby charged
with selling an indecent publication.
namely, the ".Sporting I'meS," was
continued until this morning.
John +. Gordon. for using loud and
abusive language towards some person
ON the Island, was hned five dollars
and COSTS.
There being no further business, the
Cont adjourned until this morning at
q o'clock.
THE TENIrERANOE LECTURE, last
evening, ut the Court House, WIS
meagerly attended. Why, We do not

Tue circumstances eNeTted their inlu-
Guces last evening. The audience was
very fit. but very few, and we regretted
the fact when The boy" opened out
with IA burst abont that noble bird, the
American Eagle, which convinced those
pTsaunJ oi tie propriety OF his naming.
Unexpected TO see the Tamplars out IN
fun force but where were they? y few
attended, We believe, but the minority
had pressing business in some other dl-
TectiOn. This is hardly as II should be.
The Templnrs, above all others, should
have pntronized IA lecture aptly design
ed to- help along the great cause of
which each one OF them is an expo
neut. and we hope that, when next
Temperatures is preached in this city,
they VIII turn out en- HoSSe,
We did not remain TO hear the whole
of Mr.. Cheany's argument, but have
no doubt the concluding portion was as
brilliant and effective ns The first.
