NEVER TRUST TO APPEARANCES.—It
is: as good a thing for policemen as for
other people never to trust to appearances.
Yesterday a party of printers went to the
depot to see a friend Mr on the cars, and
their devil-may-care appearance - led tho'
police to imagine them to be pickpockets,
and they at once arrested them. There
was but a thin space-between them and the
calaboose. Nothing could be piano- than
that such a case could not stand. The idea
of putting printers in the galleys for taking
quoin was a point that wouldn't stick; so
after the matter was squabbled over a while,
the police' allowed them to' take off their
forms without being locked up in quod. A
very pi-ous notion. It is time to put a full
stop to these slugs who can't tell what type
of man)]. printer is.—Ohio Statesman.

'VIOLATION OF THE MARKET ORDI
NAINC.E.—Tho borough brought suit before
Samuel Evans, Esq., against Gdorge Har
man, (butcher,) for violating Section 3, of
"An ordinance relating to markets, enact
ed May 9th, ISCO,r which reads as follows:
• " That it - shall he unlawful for any person or
persons to buy or sell, either directly or Indirect
ly, any article or articles whatsoever, at said
market, before the time fixed for opening the
same• any violation of this section shall sub
ject the offender or offenders to a penalty not
exceeding ten dollars."
Froth the evidence it appears that the
defendant purchased a pair of chickens
from lilr,Bruckhart,on Wed nesday,the 15th
day of April, 1858, ten or fifteen minutes
before the time for opening the market ; he
took them to his shambles, and promised
to pay for them when the market opened.
The defendant was mulct in a fine of five
dollars and costs. .
The market-master is certainly derelict
in his duty; the above ordinance is fre
quently and constantly being violated. We
have known every pound of butter to bo
engaged and sold before market hours—the
consequence is, scores of families who have
the means to pay for it, and at market when
opened, are deprived of that article, so ne
cessary in the family. We presume no
money is exchanged for these articles in
most instances until after the market opens,
but are they not indirect sales, and does not
the above section of au ordinance cover jnst
such cases? If it does not, then the Coun
cil should at once repeal the ordinance, and
permit articles to be sold at all hours, and
every one then could have an equal chance
at the "grab game."
NEW MARKET HousE.—A few weeks
ago we called the attention of the live mem
bers of the Town Council to take some ac
tion with regard to the 'erection of It new
Market nous°. One of them, it will be
perceived by reference to the proceedings
of the Town Council,iu another column, has
partially waked up, and actually offered all
ordinance to (authorize and empower the
council to contract for the building of a mar
ket house, ac. Wo were under the impres
sion that the Legislature empowered the
Couneit to borrow money to build a market
-housa.te.,).pattel, yip thu present rottay.mthitth
will not accommodate the wants of this
community. It is idle to consume Limo in
offering ordinances, or to make plans, with
a view to the extension of the present mar
ket house. The people want a new and
commodious ono that will shelter and ac
commodate all ; anything less will be a
farce, and the Council will find it out when
toe bite to make a change. Every one
knows that when you make repairs to an
old building, the expense is often as great
as the erection of a new structure, and
butch work at that. Where is the use in
wasting money on incomplete buildings,
and additions made thereto front time to
time that will in the end cost at least one
third more than iforected entire at once.
Besides the erection of a market house, a
lock-up is as Lunch needed, and could be
built with comparative little expense, if
done at the time a new hall and market
house were erected. The presen t hole, called
a lock-up is absolutely disgraceful, and
unworthy of the enterprise and wealth of
our Borough. Some day nit unfortunate
malefactor will give up the ghost because
of the loathsome and detestable place ; Mon
we suppose the Council will wake up and
pass,an ordinance authorizing the erection
of a decent lock-up.

ported that they had had the crossings at

cost of $.482.08. They recommended that
Walnut street be dug oir from Fourth to
about 100 feet west of Third, making a uni
form grade ; that the summit of Third be
lowered about •l feet at Chestnut, and that
the street be cindered the entire length ;
that Fifth street be graded uniformly from
Mill street to alley, as near as practicable—
that the street be cindered, and parties
owning property there be required to pave
their sidewalks—that the Rolling Mill
railroad at Fourth and Mill streets be
raised about 13 inches, and said streets made
to confortn with it ; and that Fourth and
Manor streets be cindered 25 feet wide, 9
inches in the centre, and tapering to 5 inch
es on the sides, zdl cindering to be done by
contract at so much per cubic yard. They
also recommended that Union street be
cleaned and cindered, and that the Colum
bia and Washington Turnpike Company be
requested to. clear ,and put their, road in
order within the Berough.limits.
