JEFFERSON STREET MARKET.-There
is DO one question in which all classes of
the community are so deeply and vitality
interested, as in the supply of good,
wholesome, fresh food, more especially
meats and vegetables and he who does
anything to improve that supply,
whether in quantity or quality, is a
public benefactor. Such was the thought
that suggested itself to US yesterday, as
we walked slowly by Jefferson street
market: and while thus thinking, what
should we hear but the bluff and hearty
voice of the very man to whom our
thoughts pointed, Charlie Williams,
calling US to come in and look st the i'm
prSEements that he had been making.
We accepted the invitation, and on
entering, found him busiIy engaged
ia trying to drive the last fly out of g
huge cage made of mosquito netting,
with which he has surrounded his stalls.
He has erected around his meat tables q
light framework of wood, over which is
stretched q strong mosquito netting,
extending from the wall 10 the floor,
forming, as we said, q complete cage,
from which, if the flies are once ex-
eluded, they have no means of getting in
again. This protects the meat from be-
ing hy-blown, and is also a protection
to those who work inside from these ter
rible nuisances. He opened mis- wicket a
little as we came in and allowed us to
enter, and then showed us his ice-box.
or more properly, iee-room, to describe
which as it should be, however, would
take more space and time than we can
well afford. But it is great institution,
the advantages Of which are apparent
to every one who will take the trouble to
pay Charlie a visit. You can purchase
your round Of beef, or your fruit or vege-
tables, in the morning, and leave it in
this huge ice-box until you wish to use
this market being open all hours Of
the day from 4 to IL O'Clock. Customers
at Jefferson street market can also be
sure Of not purchasing diseased meat, as
Charlie considers his reputation s of
more value than money.

EXAMINATION OF EDAloNsON.-E A.
Edmonson, u of the parties in the ter
rible affray of Monday evening, was
brought out of jail on a warrant issued
by Squire Miller, and carried before
Squire Walton yesterday afternoon. He
was charged with being accessory to a
murder, and the motion was to have
him committed without hail. The case
was argued for the State by Squire
Miller very ably, but not being prepared
to prove certain technicalities, he asked
for a continuance of the case. Squire
Walton accordingly continued the case
until to-day at 2 O'Clock, and allowed
the accused to go free on his W reeog-
nizanee until that time.

A FILTHY HOLE,-We would re-
spectfully call the attention of the san
ita-y police, who r so extremely active
in spying into private yards and alleys,
and so ready to arrest citizens who sre
unintentionally derelict il carrying out
their sanitary orders, to the condition of
the public alley between Second and
Third streets, where it crosses Jefferson,
on the south side. There is a hole close
to the sidewalk at least a foot deep,
Slled with the foulest and flthiest Of
mud, which, when stirred up by some
passing esrt-wheel, stinks with an odOr
as mephitic as ever vas exhaled by the
serbonian bog. 1t is enough in itself to
create q pestilence in the n~eighborhood,
and it is q crying shame, an infamous
outrage on the public generally, but
more especially on those in the neigh
borhood, that day after day this reeking
pest-hole should be allowed to stand,
and not only stand, but accumulate fiji
thiness. Attend to it, gentlemen of the
sanitary police, Immediately.

RIVER nLArTERS.


A heavy rain yesterday cooled of the
atmosphere and effectually laid the dust,
VIII ch was becoming rather too abund
ant for comfort. Il was clear and cool
in the evening. The river at this poidt
is falling faster than eve was known be-
fore while at its present high stage. To
use the phrase OF an old b0atman, " 1t
would seem IS though the bottom had
fallen out.n The decline in the past "a
hours was fully s inches, making a fall
Of A inches in all. At Cairo the Ohio is
falling st the rate of 3 feet 8 inches in "A
hours. The Ohio is falling from Pitts
burg to the mouth. The latest advices
from that quarter will Be found in our
telegraphic columns. The Missouri is
rising slowly towards the mouth, but
is at a stand, If not falling, at Omaha
and St. Joseph. All the tributaries OF
the upper Mississippi are declining. The
Arkansas is recediOg, with : feet TO Lit
tie Rock. White river is declining rap
idly.
