that is required, to insure a soldier the

improvements

The Building Committee OF the Pres
b5terian Church, have broken ground for
ahe new church building, to be erected
during the summer, OH Main street, in
this borough. The location is very
pretty one, and the lot is Of Sufficient di-
nensions to afford room for a good sized
church, and to prevent danger from crowd
ing in the future.
The Lutheran congregation, we learn,
have concluded to postpone the erection
of their church building until next spring.
The subscriptions received for this work
are sufficiently liberal to warrant the
building this season, but consultation
fixed the plan of gathering the means and
material this summer and fall SO as to be
ready to go to work, without probability
of delay, in the spring.
Aaron Rymer has commenced the
erection of a two story frame building on
the lot recently owned by the heirs OF
she late Ann Erb, on Jacob street.
John r.. Blair has purchased lot of
James Ii. Stroud, Esq, near the Pocono
Bridge, and is gathering material prepar-
atory to the erection of new dwelling
The uptown Mill has been undergoing
repairs. It's enterprising proprietors
have treated it to new slate roof. and
we learn they intend weatherboarding
and painting it. An improvement truly.
The alterations and repairs on the old
Candle Factory commenced by Samuel
Emory, some time since, who purchased
the property, are assuming shape which
indicate the completion of two neat dwell
lings, out of what was an eye-sore of a
building.
The new brick building erecting for

A Singular Case of Opening Letters.

Court, this morning, Mr.. III. G.. Hall, OF
No. l55 Beach street, was arraigned be
fore Mr.. HalIett, on charge of receiving
and secreting letters belonging to another
Ii. G. Hall, of Cincinnati. 1t appears
that the Boston Mr. Hall received some
letters from the penny post, the contents
of which he did not understand. He did
not know that there was another III. c..
Hall in the city. After finding out the
contents of the missives he returned all
natl, reported the case to Mr.. johnson,

Office Department, aud visit to the Bos-
ton Mr. Halls counting room resulted in
the recovery of the other two letters
Mr.. Hallctt said that when the Boston
Mr.. Hall received the first letter the first
line should have shown him that the let
ter was not for him. He delayed return
ing the same, and must have known that
it was not for him. lie had no business
to call family council to pry into the
secrets of another man, as he did do
The first letter he knew was not his ; and
yet, when the second letter came, in the
same handwriting, he took occasion to
open this one. The letters showed plain
ly that they were not for IL. c.. Hail. Of
Boston. lie kept three letters for awhile
before he returned them, and kept two
more for an indefinite period, or until
special request was made for them. The
case was one that should come before a
jury, and Mr.. Hallett said he should hold
the defendant to recognize in $500, and
to find surety in the same for appearance
before the June term of the Superior
Court. Mr. III. G.. Hall, of Cincinnati cvi
dcptly considered these letters of high
y important nature, as he mentioned the

At an election held in Washington city,
for municipal officers, on the Sd inst, the
Republicans carried the day by twenty
five hundred majority. This was the first
election at which the negro vote was poll
ed under thorough organization, and the
result is the complete redemption of the
city from the thraldom Of copperheadism,
and of modern, fire eating Democracy. 1t
is somewhat noteworthy fact that, not
withstanding the Democracy are opposed
to negro suffrage, Democrats did not hesi-
tate to attempt to cheat negroes into the
support of their ticket. Thanks, how
ever, to the superior intelligence OF the
latter they were not to be cheated. A
mong the candidates elected, we notice
the name of Appleton p. Clark as being
elected Councilman for the 9th Ward.
Mr.. Clark, who is, of course, Republi-
can, was formerly resident of Toby han
