We understand that the boilers of the
Parkersburg packet Express have let
down, and that she will be laid up. The
Charmer will take her place until the
new boat is finished, and will commence
her trips on Wednesday next.
1t is not unlikely that the new packet
for the Wheeling and Parkersburg line
will be launched tomorrow from Will
son, Dunlevy 81 Co.'s boatyard. From
her appearance we feel safe 10 saying
that she will be as fast a boat as there
is on this river.
A letter was received on Saturday by
the President of the Cincinnati Board
of Trade from Hon. j. B. Beck, men,
Der of Congress from Kentucky, stating
that the committee on Appropriate ons
had made it his duty to ascertain all the
facts relative to the appropriation asked
for to complete the Louisville and Port
land canal, and asking for information.
This is q favorable indication. There
are several gentlemen from Cincinnati
in Washington now for the purpose of
directing the attention of Congress to
this subject, and Captain John A. Will
hanson, who is thoroughly versed in
matters pertaining to the navigation
and commerce of the Ohio, left for
Washington on the same business Sat-
urday night.

ance on Judge Goods Saturday morning
levee was not large, it was wonderously
select. There were present some of the
first circles of fusileers and galoots, and
it made us feel as happy as forest OF
big sunflowers to meet these old time
benzinists, whose absence we have
mourned, weeping bitter tears the
while.
The first that came is the very Napo.
leon of galoots, the immortal Goose
berry. That Gooseberry has been pulled
from the gutter-more times than any
other berry that ever grew. 'Gooseberry
is green to get as drunk as he does, for
he is invariably locked mp, like choice
canned fruit. For being drunk on
officer Richardson's door step he was
fised at the plain drunk rates, 81 and
costs. Of course his pocket.book was
innocent of filthy lucre, and he resumeth
his studies of the, to him, perplexing
science of geology, as taught by Prof.
Price, in connection with a ball and
chain, or rather lsck on the under
standing.
The next that came was lovely, fair,
the fairsst of them all; her nose was
red, uncombed her hair and wrecked
her waterfall. The Court, the clerk,
police and crowd did in amazement
stare to see the beauteous Mary Scott,
the social evil there. Mary is nice
girl, a very nice girl. As swearist
she is profound success and as drink
ist she has no equal. For prowling on
the Island between the hours of sun
down and sunrise she was arrested and
in default of payment of so and costs,
she will hold her receptions at Castle
Faris for the next twenty days.
Courtney Sewbridge came to this city
from Baton Rouge on Friday, seeking
for certain friends. His mother, o trunk
and yaller dog bore him company
Becoming worn and weary with his
long and anxious search, he lay down
on convenient cellar door. When his
mother aud the dog attempted to arouse
him he drew a pistol that only lacked
trigger and several caps to make it ef-
fective, and expressed Willingness to
blow the old lady to her last long home
for two cents. As no one offered 80
much money, he didn't do it. He was
arrested on charge of disorderly con-
duct, but the facts did not warrant the
charge, and Sewbridge, his mother and
the yaller dog departed in peace.
The charge against Henry Robinson
of forestalling the market was con-
tinued until the 18th inst.

THE Decentralization have al
ready been given out to the United
States Marshals preparatory to the
taking of the census. The subdivisions
of this State have not yet, we believe,
been announced. Where subdivisions
have been made, it has bsen upon a
basis of not more than twenty thousand
inhabitants. Each assistant must do
the work in his district himself, and not
by proxy, and must reside in the dis
trict. The following are the fees: For
the name of each inhabitant, two cents;
for each factory, ten cents; for each
farm, fifteen cents; for each mile, ten
cents. The mileage is ascertained by
multiplying the square rost of the nun
Der of dwellings in the district, the
philosophy of which we leave to each
one to decide fer himself. 1t will be
seen that an inducement is thus held
out to make the fullest possible returns.
The returns must be made before the
LIST of October.

THE WoRKINGMEN.-Now that the
nail feeders have gone to work at the
reduced rates it was thought we would
hear no more of strikes for a while, but
the probabilities are that the iron boil
ers will be "out" in a few days. The
contract under which they are working
expires on Thursday next, when, it is
rumored, a reduction in their wages
will be demanded by the mill owners,
and the demand will be resisted, or at
least we judge so from the temper of
the meeting held on last Saturday.
