second communication of the city engi-
neer, upon the proposed plan of plank

congratulation to our citizens to mark
the interest and energy manifested by
this officer Of the city, in this most i'm
portant subject, and his efforts at secur-
ing the opinions Of able engineers to
fortify the views he advances. 1t is to
be hoped that the invitation which he
has extended to the late city engineer
of st. Louis will be promptly accepted,
and that Mr.. Moulton will personally
inspect our city, and give us the benefit
Of his valuable experience. The city

Some weeks past, two rather comely
young girls came to this city and took
lodging ut boarding house on Market
street. From whence they came was
kept shrouded in a mystery for several
weeks, and would not have, in al proba-
bility, been made known unto this day,
had II not been that the landlady insisted
on having her pay. Being unable to
pay, the trunk as they had but the one,
was attached or held tor the bill. One
OF the girls disappeared, and the other,
the more respectable looking Of the two
who had come from Pitts burgh. got word
TO her uncle residing in that city,
who was huntidg her. The uncle
paid his Eeices' bill and took her bone.
Ii seems that the young lady had left

to Cleveland, but had fallen in with her
companion on the road and was coa1ed

SOirt.e.

Mrs. NJ. A. Whitaker gave soiree
last evening. Her own pupils were the
performers, and more pleasant evening
we have not spent for n long time. We
did not think it possible that in music
such young performers could give so
much pleasure. While among the mo
advanced we recognized the voices OF
two or three OF Wheeling's isvorjte
singers. We cannot parLiculsrize, but
feel that too much cannot be
SAID tor the careful attention
and faithful labor bestowed by the
teacher on her pupils. The vocal
scholars rendered their pieces in such
manner that each note was pure, and, each
word mil enuuclsted, and the piano
scholars were remarkable, not only for
their selections, but the good style in
which they were played. Mrs. Whita-
kcr sung several songs by request in her
own inimitsble manner. We hope she
will keep up these solrees during the win
ter, and we consider ourselves specially
favored, Tor only small number were
invited owing to her limited space.
