about fifty.nine by forty-Six feet
1t contains four rooms, two on a
ground floor and two above, The
lower areas are for gentlemen, one Of
them a reading room to be supplied
with all the largest newspapers and
our State papers; the upper ones for

A "AIopEL" MONUMENTAL the
last session of the Legislature a bill
was passed authorizing the subscrip-
ton of $500, provided Ohio would
subscribe Il like amount, for the ercc-
ton off monument at ut. Pleasant,
Mason county, in commcmoration of
the battle fought on October 10th,
IVA. Rev. DR.. Hill of that place ar
rived in the city yesterday en- Tovte
for Columbus, to urge the Ohio Leg
islaturc to mako the appropriation,
He had model of the proposed
monument with him, which was on
exhibition at the Mcclure House.
The design is very appropriate and
mathematical. The four sides of the
monumcntare surmountcd by arches,
which are cmbcllished with the coat
of-arms of each of the thirty-eight
States, while the floor is laid out in
blocks, upon which is engraved the
names of the original thirteen States.
Upon the top is the Goddess of Lib
crty, The design is appropriate and
good and we hope it may soon be
reality Wheeling Register.
1t has been deemed, by majority
of the Judges of the Supreme Court
of Appeals, incxpcdicnt to hold
term Of that Court in Charleston this
Spring. The Courier says: "Circum-
stances well known to the citizens Of
the State have prevented the assem-
bling of 4 quorum of the Court at
Charleston until the last day fixed in
the published docket for the hearing
of causes ut the January term has
passed 1t is, therefore, thoughtmoSt
TO omit the term entirely.
Cases of pressing importance may
be brought before the Court at its
june or August terms and will then
be heard, and the interim will be en-
ploycd by the Judges in the prepare
ton of opinions in eases that have
been already argued and submitted
to the Court
II is announced that the Secretary
Of the Treasury is now maturing a
plan for tho speedy redemption Of
fractional currency, the amount Of
which outstanding is fifty millions
On the supposition that fully sl4,-
100000 has been lost or destroyed and
never be presented for redemption, it
is estimated that the substitution of
s3G,O00,0O0 in silver will be $4,000
600 in excess of the actual demand
for small change, so that the Trcasu-
ry will be protected against boarding
or Withholding silver from circulation,
and the public will have all they
want of the subsidiary coins.

every Saturday night the Government

child in the United States ten dollars,
tie payment to be made at the post
Office nearer the residence of the APP
plicant. and further, to avoid any
undue expansion of the currency,
