THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS have directed

| the board, in which hesuggests that the practice
Of stretching flags and sire amers across the

| the board first he obtained. the Tapping
| caused by the wind makes il dangerous, fright
ening horses, and causing them TO run away.
In this suggestion he is Joined by Mr.. Cluss, and

| A SAD APFAIR.-On Monday evening last a
| Young gentleman of high responsibility, with
| his wife, welded on Christmas, arrived IN this
| city and took rooms at one OF the hotels The
| gentleman, whose name is suppressed, had
received an official appointment which called
him to this city, and while his attention was
called to the Capitol on Friday, worthless
vagabond. who worked about the hotel, sue
ceeded in decoying the young bride from her
| husband ard lett for parts unknown. The hus-
band is deeply affected and almost heart
broken, but in the end we think the loss will
| prove his gain.
IMPROVEMENTS. - Among the MANY hand
some residences which are being erected in the
northwestern part OF the city, is the one which
| is being built by Mr.. Edward Medler for n. Ii.
Clarke. ESQ. The building, planned by Charles
| street by siXty-fve feet on Sd street. The main
structure istwo stories high and Nansard roof.
Each chamber will have a dressing room, large
closet, hot and cold water, marble top stationary
wash-stand, marble mantel and bell. The
windows are of best French plate glass.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE SouTH.-No
| small job of work done under our District
authorities since the present system of improve
ments has been inaugurated has received more
| approval than the new flag footwalk extending
across the location of the old 10th street bridge
TO the Smithsonian grounds, making it possible
| for residents Of South Washington to reach the
Avenue without getting mired. 18th street now
wants little reconstruction in the vicinity of
the bridge, TO make it passable in wet weather,
| when the South WashingtOnians will be happy.
| TIE DEDICATION of the new and beautiful
| chapel, corner of 1 and 81 streets, will take
place to- morrow. A full notice of this church
/ appeared in THE STAR several weeks The

Sabbath Of January, but the very severe wea-
Their and storm prevented. We understand tn lat

regular service will be held in the evening at
the usual hour, *.
| COMPLAINT smade by the people doing busi-
| ness in the Center Market of the alleged filthy
