What are the hrothe'rl bfthlii city going to dt) that day? Recorder's Court. Messrs Cabal '& -Taylor paid a fine of $5 and costs yesterday; for permitting slop to be thrown in the rear of the Crescent City Hotel., The Recorder'had issued warrants for quite a number of others who were guilty of a like offence. -Horse Fair. A Horse Fair is to he held at New Albany on- the 2d of May. The arrangements have already been completed, and the premium list made up. The premiums offered amount to near three, thousand dollars'. I The editor of the Courier, in yesterday morning's paper, talks about pukes" and "monkeys." He is given to speaking ill of his superiors. : Some time -since he -produced by hard scratching, an article on the subject of lice, things he seemed much more familiar with than anything else What next, neighbor? ! . . T . . . ' The Courier calls on the May or again for an exhibit of the finan cial condition of the city. We won der if it is done at the suggestion of "three "heavy tax payers?. Get up another meeting, have another ' Com mittee appointed, and give us another "great cryJ and little wool," can't you? . OlL. Our friend Mr. Norton in forms us that he visited the " oil re gions " in the vicinity of Newb'urgh.'e few days since, a notice of which we published some days ago. He informs us that there are strong indications of oil; in fact, the oil itself seeps incon siderable quantities through the crev ices of the rocks., A more thorough examination is to be made soon, and a company will probably be formed. 'An Old Citizen Dead. In this morning's japer will be found a no-, tice of the death of an old "citizen of this county. We allude to Mr. Riggs, who was 69 years of age at the time of his death. During ' the long and bloody strife of the brave boys in the field, against treason," tyranny, and a miserable serfdom, this old man was a most ardent patriotand true lover of his country. He had three sons in the amy, one of whom fell la that.ever memorable hard fight at Perryville. I The others fought bravely foT . their country, and the old man lived to see the Federal - arms successful. After living :to a good old ..age, . he, was ena bled tovsay,' "Now IettestHhcW-thy servant depart in peace." ' Telegraph Line -prom 'Xew-al-; . bany to Henderson. The New Al bany Iedger learns that at Henderson, Rockport, Owensboro and Cannelton, their quota, of stock for the build ing of a new telegraph line from New Albany to Henderson; has Wu gab- ecribed, and that it only remains for that city and Evansville , to take the balance when the work 1 will' at once be. commenced.' Mr, Booth, who is at the'head of the enterprise, is now calling on the veilizens of . New' Al bany, and it - is confidently expected that, the necessary amount :will be readily subscribed. If successful in that city," he will doubtless revisit our city, where we hope he will', receive more encouragement than on a for mer visit. , 'Water Works. The , plan for water works, proposed by Mr. Chan tiler,' at themeetingioif TxsTayeven-j ing is based upon the theory that un derneath the sand bars of the Ohio river are beds of gravel, growing larger in 'size as you descend. It is said whenever sand bars have been opened or j bored into,', this; 'theory ; is con--firmed.;, , Mr! John Jeffrey of Cincm cinnati, a practical civil, engineer, who has erected many of the gas works in the Wesjt and South, is the originator of j the t plan-i HeH demonstrated its feasibility by putting it into operation on a small scale at' the Cincinnati 'gas works, some years ago! " ' ' The plan contemplates the sinking of a tunnel in a bed of the sand bar opposite the city, say six-feet in diame ter, ten feet below the low water line of , the river, running under the sand bar such a distance as may be neces sary to secure' a sufficient supply of water, the brick to be laid without ce ment at the ends. On the shore end of the, tunnel engine i Jiousga re Jo "be erected, with an iron tank at the top, into which the water is pumped by a direct and perpendicular lift. f From ' this '.tank, which is high enough for" that purpose, the water will flow by its own gravity into the third stories of .th'e'iaouses in' the dityj or! higher if it should be thought' ad visable, and into a 'reservoir'' if one should r be rfou'nd : necessary 1 KTh water of the river percolating ihr6ugb the immense body of sand and gravel, and the interstices of the brick work, will -j'jurnish ;; a" constant supply i 'of clear,' 'cool,' delicious wateT,. free from mud, insects and all other; impurities. fQiaei persons s nave. suggested, o that 'there'rwould be danger, thai Jn, ej. treme l6w wJater, "a sufficient amount might not penetrate the mass' of sand and gravels filter xto ihe j)umpsi To obviate any possible danger, Mr. Jef frey proposes to take ; the precaution of inserting 'a 'pipe ' under;-the foundations of the engine house, and lead it out to the running water chan nel of the Ohio, which pipe being pro vided with a: valve jnside: the'Tengine house, can be opened, "if required, to let in water, wbich.will only.be at-extreme low water, when the water is clear, and no detriment will.- occur from ' using unaltered, water.;,', When the river -rises, this , valve can be closed, and an abundant supply of water may be depended on coming through the filter when the water is up over it. ; :.,-.,'!:f:'r For the information of our readers, we subjoin-: the following -estimated cost of -construction of waterworks for Covington j ; Ky.,.as calculated ; by Mr. J effrey. 3Ir.
