cate of incorporation to David Haering,

Joseph Meyer, of Allegheny county,
Pa, under the name concord I'm

to be to provide homes in Wet
zsl county, for the members of
the "Un:on," and to promote their
moral and intellectual Improvement.
They further declare their object to be,
Improvement in Agriculture and Hor-
ticulture,-tO establish and carry on
mining and preparing for market,
transportation, and sale, oil, coal, ores
and other products of their lands; cut
ting, transporting and selling lumber

We are told that the gentlemen men

MAN Enthusiastically morning a
man named Tippett, brother of the Mr..
Tippett, painter. met with severe ac-
cident at Mr.. Hull's house on Centre
street. Mr.. Tippett had gone out on
the roof of the back bailding to remove
some shutters in order to paint them.
The roof was covered with snow, and
while proceeding to take off the shut
ters, his feet slipped and he came down
to the gound with a CRASH heard forty
or fifty yards distant. In his descent
he fell through the branches of a
tree along side the house, breaking
down several OF them of considerable
diameter. This, no doubt, broke his fall,
and thus saved his life. The distance
he fell was fully twenty feet, and his es-
cape from instant death was almost mi
raculous. Mr.. Hull fortunately was
near, and ran to his assistance. The
injured man was able to walk to DIR.
Baguley's Office on Fourth street, where
on examination it was discovered that
he had suffered a fracture of the
left arm just above the wrist and
dislocation of the elbow and shoulder.
His injuries received proper attention,
and lie was conveyed to the residence
of his brother.

The REASON WHY.-Some say it is
strange that President Grant did not
see the law of 1859 before he appointed
Stewart place in his Cabinet. Had
Grant been provided with a pair of
those superior spectacles sold at Oxtoby
& Duftield's Jewelry Store, 1O3 Main
Street, he would have seen his way
clearly. "a word to the wise," &c. In
addition to every style of glass, at this
house can be found everything in the
way of watches, clocks, jewelry, solid
silver and plated ware, gold pens. &c.

CIRCUIT CoURT.-This Court is close.
ly engaged in disposing OF the civil
docket, which we were told a few days
since was very full Que. Since the
disposal OF the criminal cases no trial
of any special interest has taken place,
and yet the Court room is pretty well
filled both at the morning and after
noon sessions. We have not heard any
intimntions of an adjournment, and
presume the term will not close before
the end of next week, possibly not be-
fore the middle of the week following.
The Court meets each morning at
o'clock, and at two in the afternoon.

HATS AND CAPs.-Elsewherew will be
found the advertisement of s. N. Pra-
thor, hat and cap dealer, on Main
street, between Monroe and Quincy.
Mr.. P. has been for many years en-
gagged in that department of trade, and
is thoroughly conversant with all its
details. He has a fine, large and we'll
selected stock of goods, adapted to this
market and season, and will sell at
wholesale or retail at low figures. The
retail feature in his business he has but
recently introduced, and the first floor
of his establishment is devoted to that
branch. Hats and caps from the low
est to the highest price will be found on
his counters. Whether, therefore, you
want the finest silk or the commonest
wool chapeau, go to Prather's and you
can be accommodated. Country mer-
chants will find it to their advantage to
drop In and compare his prices with
those OF other establishments of similar
character. II not convenient to visit
the city, they may send their orders,
confident that they will be filed as
fairly as if they were present to make
selections.

Powers ENLARGED.-The Legislature
at its recent session made an important
change in the law defining the powers
OF the Municipal Court in this city. The
18th section of 1.-THE act establishing the
Court, passed February "a, 1865, pro-
vides that, "within the city, said Court
shall also have the same jurisdiction
and powers in civil suits and proceed
ings, [6wt not an chGncery,) where the
amount in controversy exceeds one
hundred dollars, exclusive of interest
and costs, or the possession of real or
personal estate is concerned, as the Cir
cult Court of Ohio county now has or
may hereafter be vested with, but in the
following cases only: LIST, Where de.
PENDANT or one of the defendants re-
sides in the city; ID, Where the cause of
action arose within the city; Sd, Where
the property, real or personal, the title
or possession OF which is in controversy,
or some part of such property is in the
city; 4th, Where the defendant or one
the defendants, being nonresident OF
the State, is found in the city, or has
6SIhIo VI eAcSLS S"AJ Wv
mand against resident of the city, or
a corporation or firm doing business
therein, or any stock or share in the
capital of such corporation or firm,
shall be deemed effects in the city,
within the meaning of this clause"
sIThe change alluded to is the removal
of the restriction as to chancery juris-
diction. The Court Is now clothed
with equity powers, extending, how
ever, only to cases coming within the
specifications above set forth, if we are
correctly informed.
The act passed recently adds one
more term annually, to the number
heretofore authorized to be held, (eight,)
go that, hereafter, nine will be held each
year. With this enlarged Jurisdiction
and additional term it is believed that
the business of che Court will be large
" increased, as cases in chancery can
be heard and determined al. intervals Of
ONLY a few weeks. 1t is thought that
this arrangement will prove beneficial
to the public.

POLICE CoURT.-There was a crowd
of spectators at the police court yester-
day morning, and a full docket. There
were all ages, sexes and conditions
present. We came very near saying
all colorS were represented, but the
truth is only three, white, black and
yellow, did we notice. AS to the pro-
portion of each, the black largely pre-
dominated.
The first case was that of David John
son, (white,) who was charged with be-
ing found on the streets in state of
intoxieation. 1t was clear case of
chain lightning. and johnson was ask
ed to pay one dollar and costs. This
he could not do as he had invested all
his funds in another direction, and he
was remanded to jail.
Ann Sims, (colored,) was arraigned
on the charge of assaulting James I.iv-
ingston, (white,) but the evidence put
another phase on the affair, and while
the case against Ann was dismissed,
Livingston was taxed with the costs.
Livingston was then brought up for as
saulting Ann, and the testimony was
overwhelming against him. He was
fined five dollars and costs. This and
the costs in the other suit were too
much for his pocket book, and in the
afternoon himself and family were en-
joying the freedom of the lookup
Whether he succeeded in raising the
requisite sum to release himself, we
know not, but the case looked bilious
at 4 o'clock r. NJ.
Harriet Wilson and Sarah Thomas
(both colored) were charged with keep
ing houses of i'll fame. They declared
on account of the absence of materia
witnesses, and tho cases were continue
ed until this morning at 10 O'Clock.
The session closed with the trial o
Dennis Gardner (colored,) charged witt
disorderly conduct. Gardner was {
boarder with Harriet Wilson and Sarat
Thomas, who occupied a part of the
house in which Livingston resided
All of them were tenants under Anr
Sims. The entire business of the Court
yesterday morning Except the case Of
Johnson,) was the adjustment of diff
culties occurring at this same house
and to one who listened to the testimo
ny of black against white, and vict
versa, it required no great stretch O
the imagination to conceive that "tht
war of the races' had indeed com
menced. Down to the trial OF Gardner
the African was victorious. but in thu
last grand charge the white man tri
umphed. Gardner was fined ten dol
lars and costs, which was soon forth
coming and he went on his way.
