CHEsAPRAKR AND OHIO CANAL.-At the
monthly meeting of the board of directors of
the canal, held yesterday in Baltimore, Presi-
dent German submitted his report, showing
that the total accrued revenue for the month
was S68 ,340.05, and the expenses of maintaining
the canal and necessary repairs. $40 ,0J039.
The increased coal tonnage, as compared with
1871, was 4,703 tons; with 1872, I1S tons; while
the increase in revenue from tolls, as compared
with 1871, was IS ,0S4; with 1872, Sll ,3f7 49, The
report continues" Not only is the canal in
good condition, but the question of freight,
which, in the early part of the past month, it
was thought would interrupt the trade, has
been adjusted, all the companies except one
paying the same freight as heretofore, viz: Sl.35
to Georgetown, while the number of boats
registered and engaged in the trade will &C
commodate during a boating season of eight
months one and half millions of tons. The
continued eemand for coal and other articles
transported over your work must continue TO
increase its trade and revenue. Not only is the
present and prospective trade Of the canal fiat
tering, but the receipts from tolls and rents
from the LIST day of January last to the Both of
June are in excess Of those OF the correspond
ing period Of the past year, notwithstanding all
the delays and Interruptions to the business of
the canal since the opening of navigation"
The board appropriated S101,97 to pay the
July, 1857, and January, 1858, coupons on the
preferred construction bonds Of the canal.
This is the largest payment ever made at any
one time to the account. The board adjourned
to meet at Frederick on the 9th Of August.

Cookies stable, which was reported at the Addi-
con engine house by-a boy. The firemen

to have originated from matches having beer

CONSTABLE ACT. MAGISTRATE, AND VICE
VERsA.-This morning some excitement took
place at the intersection of Louisiana avenue,
ID and 9th streets. 1t appears that some time
since Augustus Gotthile rented the premises at
the corner above named, and sub let portion
to Augustus E. l.. Reese, a notary public and
justice of the peace. Gotthile moved out:
leaving Reese in possession, and the owner
refused to acknowledge Reese as tenant. JUS
tice Mills few days since issued a writ of
restitution in favor of owner, but in conse-
quence of Reese promising to apply for an in
junction the service of the writ was DELAYED.
This morning, however, Constable Henry Lacy
proceeded to the Office and set the furniture
out and in the meantime the justice got posses
sion of the key. While the constable was SO
engaged Reese went off and issued a warrant
against Lacy, charging him with threats and
Officer Burns took Lacy into custody, and he
was taken to the police court where a nOAe pros
was entered.

Two SKULLS ON RoOF-Quite an excite
