IMPRovEMENTs.-Mr thinner, on
Market street, has recently Pnt up a
which adds very much TO its appear
ance. l tF
The Messrs. Brockunier are engaged
in mstamorphosing one OF their houses
near the City Building.
Several weeks since our enterprising
fellow-citizen, A. j. Harry, Esq, COM
menced remodelling the old building
formerly occupied by the Register as
an office. The same building had been
used as printing establishment for
the last seven or eight years, first as
the Union Office, then as that of the
Press, and finally by the Register. 10
those who are acquainted with the
abuse to which buildings thus occupied
are subjected, we need scarcely say
that the one under consideration was
in a dilapidated condition. But friend
Harry has turned it inside out, and it
now presents, both In its exterior and
interior, a very fine appearance. On
the first floor are two good store rooms,
with hall and stairway between. The
upper stories are fitted up for resi-
dence, and will be taken possession of
by Mr.. Harry within the coming week.
JAM.-There was regular jam on
the back river bridge Friday evening
last A countryman was proceeding
lsisurely across the bridge with his
wagon, when the tire OF one of the
wheels ran of. To go further with his
wagon in that condition WAS impossi-
BILE. A crowd, made up Of wagons,
buggies, carriages, horsemen and
street cars, began to gather on either
side. To add TO the confusion two
teams from opposite directions met
about half way in one of the tracks.
Then began IL scene which beggars de-
scription. After considerable delay
and vexation, aud very large expen-
diture of profanity, the difficulties
were all overcome and the surface of
the waters were again calm.
A N nI Of m Of
the Hope Fire Company, for the ensu-
ing year, was held at their Hose House
on Saturday evening. The result was
AS follows:
FreSident-John Nolan.

The regular meetings oil the company
will be held on the first Saturday night
OF each month during the ensuing year.
WE direct attention to the advertise
ment of the sale of the Howard Iron
Works. to take place in front of the
Court House, on Wednesday morning
next, at IL o'clock. The establishment
is fully supplied with the necessary ma
chinery for making gas and steam pipe,
and ia in good repair. Arare chance is
N,ara nfTaraI for sn,,a ., a - =, ,,, m rt{aa -
enterprise and capital to make a large
paying investment. as the production of
such pipe amounts almost to n monopo-
Iy, and the demand for It Is constantly
increasing. The machinery in the How
ard Works is comparatively new and
ofthe most approved pattern.
YESTERDAY was warm, beautiful
autumn day. Several OF the pulpits q
the churches were filled by the stranger
ministers in attendance on the State
Sabbath school Convention. That of
the Fourth Street NJ. f. Church was oc-
Cupied by the Rev. ]. Il, Vincent, who
for an hour held vast auditory en-
chained by his enunciation OF practical
teachings in genuine eloqueuce. Rev.
Mr.. Chidlaw, of Rev York, OBLIGATED
at the First Presbyterian church, with
great acceptability to a large audience.
Rev. Vincent preached in Zane street
church last night.
EXcURsIoS.-The Lodge OF Good
Templars in our neighboring town Of
Washington, Pa, propose to go to Clays-
Vile on next Thursday evening to or
ganize Lodge there. They have char
tered a train on the Hempfeld Rail-
road, and the citizens OF Claysville will
be entertained by an address on the
subject Of Temperance by Rev. W. B.
Watkins, of Washington. A pleasant
