PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
Why the Pavement ia not Begun,

In our afternoon cotemporary of{Saturday
an item in regard.to the paving of Pennsylva-
MIA avenue appeared which is apt to mslead
the business men and property-holders there
on, and, in order that the true state of the
case may be thoroughly understood, repre-
sentative of THE REPUBLICAN has obtained
the following facts, which may be relied upon
as entirely correct. The work having been
awarded to the two paving companies-the
Neuchatel and the Grahamite-contracts were
entered into with them blythe Avenue paving
commission, bearing date August 10, 1876,
and providing that thirty days would be al
lowed the companies to prepare for their work,
and providing further that they should not be-
gin work until the Avenue railroad track had
been brought to the grade prescribed by the
Avenue commission, which duty was imposed
upon the railroad company. This corporation
was also notified that the commission would
fix the several grades itself, which, when COM
pleted, would be made known to the proper
officers, in order that the track might be set.
In order to facilitate the fixing of the grades,
Surveyor Forsyth, at the request of the engi-
neer OF the District, prepared an elaborate plat
of the Avenue, which Generals Wright and
Gilmore took in hand themselves, and person.
ally fixed the levels and grades of the track.
They concluded their labors a. few days since,
and notified the railroad company thereof
The contractors for the company Immediately
commenced work at Fifteenth street and at
Sixth street, in order to make ready for the
paving companies. By this showing it will be
seen that the paving companies are by no
means responsible for the seeming delay. Mr..
Williams, whose ability as a contractor is
thoroughly well known, was secured by the
Neuchatel Company to do their work. No
purchase" Of contract was made, and the
Neuchatel Company, hyy thc.FF thc.F CONTRACT With
the Avenue commission, is wholly and solely
responsible for its pavement. The Grahamite
Company has also the control of its contract,
but has engaged Mr.. John s. Baldwin as its
sub-contractor. Both of the gentlemen named
are ready and waiting to go ahead with their
work, and, from the fact that the machinery is
all ready, it is safe to predict that the Avenue
pavement will be completed within the time
required by the contracts. The machinery of
the Neuchatel Company is being prepared by
Messrs. Gray and Noyes, of this city, and that
of the Grahamite Company in Philadelphia.

Catarrh, Offensive Discharges from the Head
and All Chronic Diseases Successfully
Treated.
That the timid and disappointed may feel
the utmost assurance and confidence in the
good faith of Doctor Hartley, he generously
proposes to attend all persons, rich or poor,
free of charge, until the best evidence and
most con Iincing proofs of his success have
been realized from his treatment. Office and
residence: No. 6 Grant Place, near Patent
Office.
DR.. Hartley begs to state that he has no
connection with any person advertising to cure
catarrh, offensive discharges, &c, neither has
he given permission for The publication OF
certificate purporting to emanate from him,
and cannot, therefore, be responsible for any
alarming consequences resulting from rash
ness ard desperation practiced by ignorant
pretenders. The loss of money may not be
material to some persons, but the deprivation
of one of the most important senses ought to
be regarded and treated with more than ordi-
nary solicitude.
The following testimonials are submitted
with confidence. They will show, at least, in
what estimation his professional qualifications
are held by some of the most distinguished
medical men in the country:

in practice, and have been led to form favor

The Police Veterans.

To-day week will be the fifteenth anniyer-
sary of the organization of the Metropolitan
police force of this District. 1t has been Gus
tomary with the veterans to celebrate the day
in becoming and appropriate manner, but
this year, owing to the reduction of the pay of
the officers and the Withholding of the salary
intended to be paid, the men find themselves
heavily embarrassed, and the celebration will
probably be on primitive scale. The old
force consisted of one hundred and fifty men,
and of that number there are now ouly the
following members of the force: Captain Brock,
Chief Detective Clarvoe, Lieutenants Vernon,
Gessford, Noonan, Hurley, Greer, Skippon,
Eckloff and Kelly; Sergeants Pearce and Mil
stead, and Priyates Drill, Sebastian, Riley,
Jones, Cameron, Findley and A. Brown. All
these were sworn in as privates with the ex-
ception of Capt. Brock, who was sworn in as a
roundsman, and Lieut.. Kelly, who was sworn
in as a sergeant. Six of the ancient priyates
now on the force are on duty in the Third
(Georgeuown) precinct.

Several of our resident artists have returned
from their summers sketching tours, and
have commenced work in their studios.
Among them, Mr.. E. F. Miller, at his studio
over Galt's, is engaged in filling large NUN
Der of orders for portraits. One order, lately
received, is for five portraits of Lieut.. Riley,
late of the 10th U. S. cavalry, killed IN the
Custer massacre. OF these two are to be
paintings in oil, two crayons aud one upon
ivory. The only one completed is life-size

drawing, and pronounced by the friends of the
deceased, who was a Washingtonian, an excel
lent likeness. In addition to these Mr.. Miller
has several orders from Chicago to fill, all of
which will keep him steadily engaged for
some time to come.
J.H. Witt, another of our artists, is at Co
lumbus, Ohio, where he is engaged upon a
portrait of our next President, Rutherford B.
Hayes.
Max Weyl's painting, recently finished, of
"Great Falls by Moonlight" had scarcely left
his easel before it was in the possession of one
OF our citizens of wealth aud taste, who has
placed it among his choicest gems. Mr.. Weyl
is engaged upon several new pictures, which
give promise of comparing favorably with any
thing he has produced.
