The FOURTH STREET MAoApAMTzING.--Th
street roller was put upon the last square in
macadamizing Of Fourth Street, this morning,
but refused to climb the hill. Tho shoulders ON
the wheels could not take hold upon the loose
stones, and for this reason the ascent could
not be made. A new experiment was made in
the preparation of the stone for this square.
viz by screening it to see if dust could be
avoided in the street, consequently there was no
solid foundation for the wheels. The roller was
therefore brought up to Market by another
street and sent down the hill, after which the
rolling of the street was begun from side to
side

The BALD MOUNTAIN Hoax ExPosED.-A
communication in the Wilmington (N. Co.
Journal says: Colonel AmeS is using vast
amount of nitro lyce1Tne in blasting out Ma.
lures deposits OF granite, lime, and sand
stone in Boggen's cut, keeping large force
at work night and day. This is done by
charging Immense blasts with ntro.glycerine
and discharging them all at time with a
patent battery, arousing the country for
miles around with the terrific thunder Of the
explosions. Any one who will take the
trouble to note the time of the day or night
when the rumblipg sounds and reports are
heard at Bald Mountain and compare it with
the time when these fearful discharges are
made at Boegen's cut, cannot fail to come to
the conclusion that they are both produced
from the same cause.
