ton of the corpse of the man found
in Pigeon Creek, on Monday it is sup
posed to be that Of Don Carlos Mil
Ter, of Mt. Vernon, Maryland. who
has been missing from the American
House, since the I'D ult. He arrived
there on the 10Th, and registered as
r. V. Willard, Baltimore, Maryland,
and after remaining in the city until
the first date, most Of the time being
deeply intoxicated, when he disap-
peared.
When the proprietors of the hotel
read the description of the body in
the morning papers. they at once sus-
peeted it to be Willard, and proceeded
to examine his baggage. which con-
tanned letters that went to show that
the registry was under an alias.
Miller spoke Of having two broth
ers-in law at New Harmony, whom
be intended to visit. He also spoke
of buying tobacco and other goods,
but is not known to have had any
money.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAs.-The
suit of G. @. Barnett. ct al vs.. w. j..
May, ct al, was on trial by the Court.
The case involves the question of the
liability of the owners of the steamer
Mercury, which having shipped some
freightat Evansville, for Metropolis,
was unable to land it at the latter
place on account of high water, for
which reason the goods were retained
on board, while the steamer pro-
ceeded on her trip, intending to de-
liver on her return, which never oc-
CURED. She having sunk, the goods
were lost. The question is entirely a
question Of law, there being no dis
pute about the facts.

SWEETNESS IN PRosPEcT,-The la
dies of the IngIe Street, M. K. Church,
are preparing to hold a Floral and
Strawberry Festival, in Masonic Hall,
to be the first Of the season.
The lady solicitors of funds are
meeting with unexpected success.
Cash, and the various good things
necessary for the occasion, are being
contributed freely.

the first time this church-since its
organization seventeen years ago-has
asked the aid Of the public. The fes
tival will come off in two weeks.
The ladies Of the church, not being
able to see all their friends, respect

by the report Of Elliott & Sons real

the County has purchased the Grim

terms being so arranged that the pay
ments are made in three installments.
The County Commissioners have
been paying $1,000 per year for the
rent of the building. The upper
story, which is occupied by the Lii
brary Association, brings $500 rent,
and will continue to be occupied by
the Association. The investment is
generally regarded as a wise one, and
the action of the Commissioners is
to be commended.

s9- Colored men who examined
the supposed credentials of the two
confidence men, KEENAN, and Evans,
who were endeavoring to establish a
secret society among the colored men
last week, pronounce them as very
clumsy forgeries. Only three or four
colored men took any stock in the
proposed humbug.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE Council
CHAMBER. - The com mittee Of the
Common Council to arrange a re-
porters' table, after considering the
manner Of accommodating all con-
cerned, erected a table, at which the
Mayor and Clerk sit, and have pro-
vided a separate table for the report
ers between this and the table at
which the Councilman sit. By this
change the Council assumes more the
appearance of a legislative body than
under the old arrangement, the table
being an ornament to the room. The
reporters are better accommodated,
and the general appearance Of the
Council, while in session, much i'm
proved.
