number of our citizens. This is as it
should be. We want the people open
their eyes in this matter and go to work.
We are already aware that no better in
vestment of money can be had; it is safe
and pays larger dividends on the amount
invested than any other business. Sew
eral methods for obtaining the desired
funds are already in contemplation,
whether by private individuals or the
public.
As the matter now stands the City
Council cannot do much unless the pro-
iect is pushed forward by our citizens
but we understand that the Council
stands in readiness to assist, or cooperate,
with any party, or parties, who may be
contemplating the building of market
house. Further than this, they will un
doubtedly acquiesce to the erection of
said market house on the pub
lie square, or any grounds con-
trolled by them. Some persons may
doubt the validity or right of Council to
hold the city square, that ground being
disputed by several parties in this city,
and the case is now pending in our
courts. As it is the Council still claims
the right to control it, and any party
will be perfectly safe in building on it
with their consent. Again, if the prose
cution be decided in favor Of the dispu-
tants, which is perhaps doubtful, the
ground will be disposed of as whole or
in lots and there will be no risk in engaging
in this enterprise. Again it was sug-
gestcd, by one Of our prominent citizens,
yesterday, that it would be policy to
build the market house in such a manner
as to admit of having large hall above
it. This would be an additional expense
but would certainly pay, us there is not Il
respectable hall in the city. Any person
wishing to enter into this enterprise
should Immediately do so with vim, as
we understand that there is considerable
interest manifested in the matter, and
who knows what may be done. We are
bound to have Il market house.
POLICEMAN RICHARDSON, Of Gravel
Hill, while putting out the gas light. this
morning about three o'clock, was attacked
bv several unknown men; he was knock
ed down, and then they began throwing
stones at him, when he got out his re-
volvcr and fired four times at them, and
thinks he hit one of them. They then
left him, and Richardson came down and
awakened Marshal Rowles, who returned
with him to Gravel Hill, but all traces of
the rowdics were then gone.
A GAME of ball comes off on Saturday,
between base ball club of this city and
the Standards, of Wheeling. 1t Is not
certain whether the Standards are TO
come down, or our boys go up there. 1t
does not make much difference, we'll bet
on our boys.

OUR citizens ore continually admring
that structure lately built around the
lookup windows, and come to think
about it, it is nice affair; but we are
brought down from our sublime specula-
tions pretty quickly when a stranger in

which are confined stray hogs, etc. What
a world!
SOME evil-disposed persons sawed sew
eral spokes in two in Mr.. Manchester 5
express wagon the other night, suppos-
ing, perhaps, that the wagon would
break down and Mr., Manchester
receive All injury. Several instances
of trickerv of different natures
but all destined to do harm have come to
our ears lately, what the meaning VI
this is we are unable to say. Our citi-
zcns should keep their eyes open.
