THE Town Council at their last meeting, de-
cided on improving the public square ir Market
street by enclosing It with an iron railing and
laying out walks, SC. The square will extend
from Second to Third street, with a street on
each side. workmen commenced on Monday
morning last In filling up the low places, and be-
fore many weeks we may expect to see this
laudable enterprise completed. This will be one
of the best improvements yet made by our bo-
rough fathers, and we hope they will continue in
the progress of improving the streets aud alleys.
To do this 1t will require money, but we do not
believe any citizen will object to paying tax
when improvements are made which will enhance
the value of property generally, and give the
town better appearance than it ever had before.

1MPRovEMKNTs.-Messrs Isaac May II Co.,
the lessees of Burnside colliery, are engaged at
present In making some extensive improvements
at their collery. On Monday last they COM
menced sinking a slope on the second lift of one
side, which they expect to have completed in
three months. They think that by sinking about
rs yards they will strike the basin. When this
is reached large area of the finest Burnside coal
will be open to them, which will increase the ca
paciy of their colliery to 10000 tons per month.
They have also commenced driving the big
tunnel, known as the "Bttenbender tunnel, - the
contract of which has been allotted to N Deit-
man. They propose driving this work until they
cut the No. 10 vein and the twin veins, which
they expect to cut on driving about $50 yards.
This work is to be completed by February, 1873
What is remarkable about this work and worthy
oial ;at n
ments are being made the regular shipments of
the colliery (60o0 tons per month"; are steadily
going on. This is feat In coal mining hereto
fore unknown In our country. The operators
are practical men, and when they succeed in
making all the proposed openings, they can east
ly mine coal enough to supply two first-clnss
breakers. The Burnside has bright future

THREE OF THEN.-With the sitting up or
sparkling on Sunday night slipped into sweet OBJ
livion the three first months of this leap year of
love-making, when it was anticipated that the
ladies, having the whip hand and the inside
track, would do fourishing business in the
matrimonial line but up to this time these ex-
pcctations have scarcely been fulfilled. To be
sure, they have had only three months in which
to work but still the time has been ample for
better display Of results. Consummatcd matri-
monial contracts have not increased On the
contrary, the marriage notice columns of most of
our exchanges show decided falling of from
last year. Perhaps, like skiful riders, they
are holding back for the last quarter, when they
will make desperate dash and come off victors.

The Sales Of Arms Investigation
THE TESTIMONY CLOSED.


The special committee OF the Senate to inyes-
hgate the sale Of arms this morning recalled
Gen. w. b. Franklin, agent OF the Colt fire arm
manufacturing company and examined him as
to the exchange made by him with the Ord
nance Department of nine Gatl.n guns his com
Pany having an order from the Remingtons for
these guns. His testimony showed that he re-
ceived the guns from the Ordnance Depart
ment, returning therefor at a subsequent period
nine Gatlin guns OF improved patterns. The
guns which he received from the Ordnance De-
partment were delivered to the Remingtons
The government received pay tor the nine guns
and paid back that amount for the improved
guns subsequently furnished.
q. y. McGoicdn, clerk to the ordnance officer
at New York, testified that there was a deposi,
OF S14, 400 i'm his Office, and that it remained
there until the nine guns were returned, when
it was surrendered to the Colt COMPANY.

WHAT The HERALD SAYS
The Hsraid, giyIHg the substance OF the char
ter, SAYS" IL provides for an election for
mayor ana aldermen on the 2lst OF May. Nine
aldermen are 10 be chosen from each senatorial
district in New \ Ork OF forty five in all, and an
eector has the privilege of voting nine times for
single candidate, or OF dividing up that num-
Der OF ballots among several, a. he may please.
In the board of aldermen are vested ali legis-
latiye authority, and exclusive power 10 appro-
pirate money for every object of city expendi-
ture. They possess the KEY 20 the whole city
government, n they hold the purse strings, and
can cripple or extend the facilities Of the sew
eral departments at their will. They also share
in the executive branch of the government. as
they elect four Of the commissioners of each OF
the departments of public works and public
parks, charities aud correction and finance, and
SIX commissioners OF public safety. IL will be
seen. therefore, that the aldermen are the most
powerful agency under the new charter, and
when we remember the character of the men
to some apprehension as 70 the wisdom OF this
mixing up of the legislative and executive
branches OF the government. III it does not lead
TO combinations, bargains and conspiracies

people are increasingly vigilant and careful in

TEE TRIBUNE FINDS SOMETHING TO Commend

The Tribune says" The charter differs,
however. i'm a great many important points,
from all laws under which we have been mis-
governed heretofore, and while il seems to us 10
be needlessly cumbrous in some provisions, and
defective in many Others, there are portions Oh
il which command our hearty anrrQvals"
