Judge Dibble has already, at the request
OF the President of the Board, taken steps
to secure the attendance of Messrs Wahl and
Pierce. and the investigation will begin on
Monday. 1t appears that Mr.. Wahl owns
about $1,000 worth Of real estate in the Sixth

MIR. NJ Freret, keeper of the Magnolia
Bridge, desires us to say that hs has no con-
troll over the bridge after o'clock in the
evening. At that hour he leaves, and if loaf
ers congregate there the police should look
after them. Not an officer has been seen
about there for year. Application has been
fruitlessly made for them. The loafers should
be driven away.

rice raised upon the plantation of our gallant
friend, Capt. Norbert Trepagnier, two miles
below Algiers. The Captain has forty arpents
planted in rice, of which twenty-five afpents

near the city is an experiment of Trepag-
nier's, and he very naturally feels encouraged

8 good one. These dirt piles composed, as
hey are, largely of vegetable matter, and

We suggest that the City Council, during the
not term at least, give permission to anybody
