Board of Compensation.

The Board of Compensation held meet ing last evening in rooms 10 and Il City Hall for the purpose of hearing parties in- terested in the benefits arising from the strengthening of West river. At previous meeting those claiming damages were heard.
 Attorney Hamilton, who was present, gave a history of the agitation regarding the strengthening of the river, which he said commenced after the washing away of the Chapel street bridge. He thought that no one had sustained any damage by the inn provement, but thought the lands on the slopes of the river had been slightly inn proved by the strengthening.
 Town Agent Reynolds and others expressed similar views on the subject.

Merry Christmas at Ryder's.

One would think while gazing at the i'm mense stock of candies and confectionery in the store of L. E. Ryder, 79s Chapel street, that ''Louis" was making ample provision for all the children of this city, as well as ''children of larger growth" possessed of ia sweet tooth.'' Certain it is that the dis play there is very fine. Among the attrac- tions we noticed the following: Mixed can dies in incompatible quantities, caramels all favers, cornueopias, sugar canes' silk boxes, animal boxes, baskets, fancy trim mings, fancy boxes and numerous other holiday goods. MT. Ryder has eclipsed all his former efforts and should, and doubtless will, meet with commensurate patronage.

said the Wheeling men, in the debate defended
their action in advancing the card rate, claiming
that nails at 81 % per keg were not more than
paying for themselves. Some of the Youngs-
town district manufacturers, who make iron
nails exclusively, were advocates of contnu.
ance of the So 10 rate, and the Pittsburg men,
bers were of similar opinion. Some members
still decline to say what conclusion was arrived
at, hut others state that, after great deal of
earnest discussion, the advance was ratified
Most of the manufacturers present expressed
confident hopes that trade would now improve.
The manufacturers of steel rails say they are
