MARKET HOUSE SrEEpLE. Some ofour good
citizens are engaged in raising money for the
purpose Of rebuilding the s'eeple upon the
market house. Sympashizing deeply, as do,
10 every effort to retain or replace our ancient
landmarks, am constrained to enter an objec-
ton to the one referred to, if the design is to
restore the steeple upon the model of the one
which was burnt. It's style of architecture was
borb clumsy and tawdrey, borrowed from that
of Sir Christopher Wren's London churches,
with the addition of exaggerated decorations
aud by no means in keeping with the edlice
which was destroyed, much less so with the
one now being built, and appropriate only to
church. | trust that, if the effort shall sue
coed, the steeple to be built will be 10 harmony
INTELLECTUALLY with the house on which it is T."
stand, though to me it seems that mar ke
house is about the last place that can be i'm
agined for placing one upon.
The most perfect models of the style Of the
market building are those at Versailles, to

A Washington dispatch to New York says :
"The men who are controlling the Cincinnati
convention, which is called to nominate liberal
republican ticket for President and Vice Presi-
dent have become impressed with the idea
that there is definite prospect of Grants be-
ing set aside at the Philadelphia convention,
and DESTROYS of making no premature moves,
they have decided to postpone the Cincinnati
convention till June 20, in order that they may
accept the nominee at Philadelphia, if it be
man on whom they can unite" What reliance
can be placed upon the dispatches sent abroad
from politicians in Washington, who are Presi
dent-making, we cannot say. Probably, this
one may be correct
