But they man- aged to seize him, and a fight ensued in whieh be was roughly bandled by the efti-ers. He was fully committed for trial at the Criminal Court Bacrat TREaTMEY> oF a Horse —Martin Conner, who drives a horse and cart, which be happens to own, was on Saturday afternoon ar- tested and taken before Justice Thompson, of the Fifth District Police, for brutal treatment of bis horse A respectable gentleman, the informer in the case, testified that Martin was loading bis cart with wood, an@ that by some means the collar of the harness became displaced and dis- elosed the neck of the Poor animai, attached to the cart, to view which presented a most revolt. ing appearance, it being completely raw from the friction of tue il!-adjusted tackling, and the strain of the double load he was made to diaw. The beast was so starved and weak, as to be scarcely abie to stand, and the brutal Inast best ituomercifally.

Under the good management of the Commis- sioners, the smail amount of room afforded to a is well and impartially apportioned, and the stalls througbout present a neat and inviting aspect. Recently, the long line of sheds running along the south parallel of the market house, have been accommodated with gas- lights, which has already doubled the value of the sta!ls there. Oa rday nights, the scene at the Northern market house resembles more a festival than a piace for the purchase and sale of beef, potatoes, etc .and numbers of people are thus attracted thither to admire the general order which pre- vails. The better to facilitate the business of market hours, the market master has caused a new scale house to be erected ox the south side of the main building, and converted the old scale Bouse into a number of butchers’ Stalis, the rental of which swelis the annual revenue to the Cor- poe some hundreds of dollars. To show he value of a butcher’s face upon a good stan in this market, it would be proper bet tery ree a& few weeks ago, a new stand fitted up between the two main doors of entrance fronting on Sev- enth street, was bid off at the annual rent of $500. CuUncH oF THE Ascexsion —This church was Teopened for Divine worship yesterday week, after having been closed for the Purpose of being enlarged and furtber improved during the past summer and autumn. In its present condition the interior will bear inspection by the side of any other church edifice in the city as to size, convenience, and the appropriateness of the de_ sign. From an ordinary brick building, with square windows, flat ceiling, and general unin- viting aspect, it now stund« forth a beautifal gothic tem n all save the want of a tower, which will also be added at no distant day. The interior presents a most agreeable aspect to the eye of taste in its high arching roof with grained mouldings and stucco embellishments, and the neat arrangement of the chancel, together with the appropriate devices with whica the walls weadorned.

The committee and the congreg difficulty; and I think the mintster ts to blame, and is the cause of all the trouble. The facts of the case are these: About eigh- teen months ago | made a contract to build a ecburch in Alexandria county forthe sum of $1,500. The contract was made with the building com- mittee, Messrs Stuart, Lacy, and Corbitt. I fal- filled mny agreement; and the congregation have bi he use of the church for more than a year, ta an unfinished state, it not having been fiaished for want of means The committee bavedone all in their power to raise funds to pay me the balance due on my con- tract. J bave not asked for oneceut extra, and only requested the money as far asl have fur- nisbed the work and material. When the gen- eral conference met tast spring, ® new minister was iit Segre and for the first time an objection was raised tbat the committee bad made too lib- eral a contract, although made with the consent of the previous minister and of Mrs. Huoter. The present minister wished to have the work measured, and the committee called on me aod requested to have it for the satisfaction of all par- tes. 1 consented, and Mr Price, of Alexandria, ‘was sent for (by the minister,) who advised him, the minister, in the Presence of the building committee, not to have it measured, as it would Cost considerable more money to pay for it by iMeasurement; that the contract was low, and pip the work was not measured. Still the minister was got satistled; and at a mosion wo edanrtetly confere: it wes thoug ex, to ive un- hg Super boo a re Sa 1 wan ask would snbmit to that; J com- plied immediately, aud even gave pes ef sion to choose all t) ation bave had some tien.
