The city Hail Improvement.

DRAFT OF PLAN FOR THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE
gUILDINd-INrERIoR ARRANGEMENT, &c.
T.. H. Rico, architect, has prepared the draft
Of a plan for the proposed Improvement of the
City Hall building by the erection OF an addition
in the rear. The plan has not been approved by
the Committee on Public Buildings, although in
the hands of the chairman, II. F. Pickels, Esq,
but with some slight alterations it is probable
the plan will be accepted.
1t il proposed in these drawings to extend the
building back ~ feet from the present rear wall
and to raise it to tho height OF the present build
ing. This will allow three floors i'll the addition,
the ceiling of the ground floor to be about IL
sect high, and the second about ten, while in the
third story the floor apd ceiling will be of
the same level as the council chamber tearing
away the rear wall in this part Of the building so
that there may he no distractions in the room.
The city cells and police headquarters arc To-
Gated on the ground floor on level, or few
inches above, the surface OF the earth. A large,
airy room is set apart for headquarters on the
South side Of the building, extending tho
whole length of tho extension except the space
end OF the addition. Back OF headquar-
tors r corridor, wel-lighted and airy,
traverses tho addition from East to
West, opening in tho West end into the cor
ridor before mentioned which extends from
South to North the whole width OF the building
and continuing down the North side terminates
at the rear wall. Within the square thus formed
by this corridor the cells are located, back to
back, and opening into the two East and West
corridors The cells, eight in number, are 7 10
| feet. Iron grating doors of tho same width of
the cells arc provided and furnished with secure
| locks. Tho wallis are to be OF heavy masonry
| eighteen inches in thickness.
| The second floor is divided into two large
rooms, one for the reception of male and the
other for female dodgers. The stairways in the
plan wind up in the side recesses formed by the
present recess in tho rear wall of the building.
| No provision is made for All enlargement OF the
present audience room in tho City Hall. The
extension will be Of brick.
1t is thought that an addition such as the one
above described may be erected with the sl5,
900 which have already been appropriated by
| Council for the purpose.

EVENING.
The telegram in the COMMERCIAL, on Saturday,
reported Paul Boyntons swim across the English
Channel to within ten miles of Boulogne. He
reached that point at s:l5 in the evening, in eN+
cellent health and spirits, and was enthusiastic
cally received by large crowd. Boynton did,
not, however, swim entirely across. He was
taken on board the press steamer, shortly after
six o'clock in tho afternoon, against his own
wish within eight miles of the coast. The
weather had become boistcrons, night was clos
ing in and the pilot declined tho responsibility
of guiding him after dark.
Boynton's dress is mostly of India, rubber, and
IL so arranged that it can be inflated, and ren-
dered not only buoyant but water. proof. Boyn-
ton, on his way over from New York, jumped
overheard some ton or fifteen miles from the
coast Of Ireland, landing with safety. Recently,
in London he gave an exhibition on tho Thames,
he and two others floating from Westminster to
Greenwich the trio cutting, drinking and smoking
on route. More recently Boynton gave an exhi-
btion in the presence of IIer Majesty, in tho
waters Of Southampton, which resulted in sew
eral suits of the dress being ordered for the
royal yacht This dress is so arranged that the
wearer can carry not only supply of provisions
but rockets and othor signal apparatus. With a
fair wind B)ynton generally sets small sail.
He also 1lses double paddle to propel himself
along, which he no doubt did on Satur day.

A REMARKABLE CASE OF oATALErsy IN AN INDIANA
TOWN.
The Evansville Qnd) Co'ri OF the 3lst Of
March relates the following on tho authority OF
a neighbor Of tie lady who is the subject OF the
story
"In our neighboring town OF Nowbnrg, which
represents Warrick county, on tho Ohio, some
weeks since, Elizabeth Iippert, the wife of n
farmer named Gottleib Iippert, was taken very
i'll with inilammatory rlieumatism and the dis
ease continuing, her life was despaired Of. She
continued to grow weakor and weaker, and u
few days since died. or expired to all appear
ances. The grief of the family was very great,
but at tho death-bed there were also a number
of neighbors. In tho hour OF distress, they pro-
ceeded TO prepare the corpse for burial. The
body was placed in convenient position, and
was noticed to be still warm but not moro so
than they are usually after dying of fevers.
The neghbors, about a half an hour after
Mrs. Lipperts death, commenced to wash the
body. As soon, however, AZ water was placed
ON the face the corpse seemed to become III
spred with life, and after the ab!utions had con.
tinued for nearly fifteen minutes she opened
her eyes, much to the astonishmert OF the at
tendants, who were not little frightened, for
they thought they were dealing with corpse
instead of one still on this side of the celes-
tial world. The women continued their atten-
tions, however, until Mrs. Lippert was able to
speak. She said that just before she died
everything about her became dark, and soon she
went to sleep. When she woke it was bright
and as she tells it, she was in a strange place

Tho Stanton (va) Ttndicator gives tho fol-
towing account of the ceremonies at recent
burial of lady member Of the Granger order
'.Early in tho morning the Changers, each
wearing a small bouquet in his coat, commenced
arriving at the Presbyterian church where the
funeral wns TO take place, and of which the de-
ceased had been consistent member. Among
those who arrived were the designated pail
bearers OF the grange wearing white baldrica,
and tho marshals of the procession, who wore
tho orange colored baldrics OF their Office. The
funeral sermon was preached, after which the
concourse of persons, numbering over five hun
drcd proceeded to the cemetery. The pail
bearers OF tho order bore tho collin decorated
with flowers to %ke gate, followed in order by
tho family of the deceased, the lady members Of
the order, the male members, and last, the pro-
cession of fcitizonH. At the gate tho coffin was
stopped, and tho members OF the grange opened
ranks and PASSED on each side of IL to the grave,
around winch they formed a circle, the
coffin being placed at the side OF excavation in
their midst. The msster OF the grange then
made n brief address, followed by the chaplain,
who repeated the Lords Prayer tho repetition
being followed by all the members Of the or
dor. The chaplain then read from the
burial service Of tho order some words OF COM
fort to the relatives Of the dead. and brief adj
dress to tho members of tho order. hymn was
tlen very sweety sung, during which the Gran
gers passed around the empty grave and break
ing their bouquet apart dropped in the flowers.
The chaplain then read tho beautiful burial SER
vice, which ends with the twenty third psalm,
during which the coffin was lowered into the
grave and tho lady members of the grange then
passed around it, oach breaking her bouquet and
scattering flowers on the colin, very sweet
hymn being sung during tho time. The master
of tho lodge and the pail bearers then advanced
to tho grave and threw in their bouquets, the
master saying:
"A good name is better than precious ONT
ment, and the day of death botter than the day
Of ones birth. He shall 60 as he came, and take
nothing of his labor which he may carry in his
hand. He then took up n handful OF earth and
sprinkled it in the grave, which concluded the
ceremonies.
"The grange has set apart day for planting
memorial tree. as it il tho custom of tho Or
der, ut the grave They also hayo in the sum
