IMPRovEMENT.-We notice from the cor
ner of Town and High Streets great activ
ity across the river in Middletown. What
was few days ago corn field, is now the
scene of the carpenters busy hum. Six
comfortable houses are being erected, and
already our friends across the river are pre-
pairing for the increase in property, and of
business, that will doubtless be produced
by the II. V. r. R.
Upon inquiry we learn that 7. w. Tai
madge is making these improvements and
will offer at auction this afternoon on the
premises about fifty lots, some of which
are supplied with houses ready for occu-
patton. -Four years time will be given tc
purchasers and we advise the laboring mer
to be present to-day and secure cheap ant
comfortable homes.

POLICE CoURr.-Business in this in stitu-
tion was horribly dull yesterday. John
Jearhost was found sleeping in Ambos'
machine shop, and was arrested. John
said he had just come from the lakes. He
had been a sailor on the propeller San
dusky, which was sunk in collision few
days ago, and had lost all his clothes and
things. John was funny looking subject
as he stood before the Mayor pleading to
be let off, his hair tangled and unkempt,
his face black from the contact with SCOT
and the coal dust in his late bed room, his
linen coat, "a world too wide," torn and
dirty, and queer, half-puzzled look upon
his honest German face. He was perfect
picture, and we had half notion to send
him TO our friend J.. NJ. Elliott, the great
photographer, to have his "picture tuck
Johns evident honesty, his funny appear
ance and pathetic pleading so worked upon
the Mayor that he discharged him with a
warning not to be brought up again.

LEAKING DOWN DEMOCRATIC DlLLS.--O0
yesterday considerable excitement was
created on the streets by report that John
Seltzer had amused himself by tearing
down one of the colored bills posted on the
west end of the building occupied by him
as music store. We at first thought it
was the result of accident or thoughtless-
ness, but subsequent developments satisfied
us that the bill was torn down dcsignedly,
aud with the intention of, as far as he
could, interfering with the meeting re-
ceiving proper notice. 1t seems that, pre-
vious to tearing the bill down he had tried
to induce the bill posters to paste bill
over it, the which,, to their credit be it
said, they refused to do. John Brown
made affidavit to the fact before
Squire Lohrer, yesterday, charging that
Seltzer did intentially deface, tear and de-
stroy bill posted in public place, and
Seltzer was arrested on warrant issued
by the justice. The trial will be held this
morning at O'Clock. This game of tear
ing down Democratic bills is about played
out. If our opponents cannot vent their
spite in any other way it is well to stop
them doing it in this. If Mr.. Seltzer is
guilty, ,he.should be made to suffer to the linn
it of the law. There is no excuse for man
of his intelligence and standing, it the act
was designed. Holding as he does place
where the money of a Democrat is as good
as that of Radical, he should be very
cautious, and not allow his political
prejudiees to run away with his
reason. If Democrats are to be thus
insulted, if there be a design to cul-
tivate the feeling of hate between neigh
bors which existed in 1885, it were as well
for Democrats to take warning in time and
return the feeling with interest, giving all
their trade to those, and to those only, who
are of the same political faith, or who trea
them as honest in their political faith an6
principles, and who think that ever
If white nun will not vote that {

lamentable, but if Republican store keep

If they will have it that all Democrats ar,
traitors, that all soldiers who will not vot,
for negro suffrage are hospital pimps ant

serters trade only with traitors and hos

laborcr's half being deducted from his

which the contract is broken by the en-

Of the expense falls on the employer. But
this is a risk which farmers must ncceSSa-

THE Holt EXPoSURE-PRYOR AND WOoD.
No one could or would believe the atli-
davits published the other day impli-
eating Messrs. Pryor and Wood in a con-
spiracy against Holt. No one, therefore,
will be surprised to learn that Roger A.
Pryor is out with an affidavit pronouncing
false in every particular, so far as be is
concerned, the statements published in
the New York Times of this morning
tending to show conspiracy on the part
of certain leading Democratic politicians
to use Sanford Conover and his per-
iuries to effect the removal from office OF
Judge Advocate Holt. Pryor says he has
had no communication, direct or indirect,
with President Johnson or any other Of
fetal in Washington either in regard to
the release of Jefferson Davis or on any
other subject that, moreover, he has had
no correspondence whatsoever, during the
past five years, with \. J. Rogers, Will
liam Radford, W. E. Niblack, G. A. El-
bridge, F. G. LIE Blond, or George X. La
than. The affidavit is attested by Judge
Barnard.
"Ben" Wood, whose name is also
mixed up in the business, likewise pro
nounces the atlidavits Of Matterson, Nc:
Fall, and others, gross fabrications, and
proceedings will at once be taken against
them, he adds, to punish them for per-
Jury.

A MULE AND CART WASHED AWAY IN
THE CHICKAHOMINY RIVER, AND THE MULE
DRowNED.-Early on Friday morning, as
Messrs. Hotz and Hutchinson were attempt
ing to cross the Chickahominy river about
six miles from the city with their market
carts, they found themselves atloat and
being carried rapidly down the stream.
Seeing their danger, both of the gentle
men Immediately jumped into the water
and endeavored to save themselves and
their teams. One of the gentlemen pulled
off his coat, containing his pocket book
with money and valuable papers, and
threw it into the cart which, with the
mules, he soon got into safe place; but
great was his surprise when he came to
look for his coat to find that it had tioated
out of the cart and was then going down
the river out of reach. The other mule
and cart were carried down the stream,
the mule drowned, and the cart lost. The
driver fortunately escaped with good
wetting.
