A CANAL OVER THE ALLEGHENIES — For the space of ove hundred years tere has been in almost perpetual agitation a scheme of running a canal over the Alieghentes to copnect with the Potomac river and the Yonghiogheny. General Washington firs’ conceived it, and became the first president of the Potomac company. The tliustrious General Simon Bernard, secretary of war of Louis Phillippe, and a staff officer of Napo. leon, surveyed the route about 1817. The canal has beep completed to the coal field at Cumberland, and sends coal to Washington city for about fifty cents a ton toll. It will cost to run it over the mountains $50,000,000, with very doubtful probabilities of securing water enough to float the barges at that great beight and effect the monstrous lockages. The last performance in this airection ne Pm enterprise of Senator Henry Davis. le has cleaned out the chanuel of the north branch of the Potomac, a narrow, rock- strewn torrent, which rises at the Fairfax Stone, and is often nearly a dry bed. This river runs alopg the southern base of the kboné mountain, whose scarps are cov- ered with large timber. Davis tomake the stream carry off the logs he should fell on the mountains, where he has bought a vast tract of timber, from 30,000 to 50,000 acres, @t less than two dollars an acre; but the water bas not been sufficient to carry out his objects. —{ Phila Times.

A man by the pame of Mitchell in the party said they had him t dauce and he sboulddance. The negro told them if they were going to make him danve he would Wait and see. Mitchell then seized a stick to Strike the negro, but some one caught hold ofhim.

STABBED WITH A PITCHFORK.—The Staupton Valley Virginian of the 20th has Ube following account of a singalar fatal ae- cident:—“A very sad death occurred near West View, in this county, on Wednesday of jast week. Mr. Jesse Radford was en- Lao in threshing at Mr. Jobn T. Cajhoun’s. Y bile standing on the edge of a rick of straw about ten feet high he was observed to slip down on the side.

LEGISLATIVE POWERS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH IN QUESTION. F Wm. ee, = meneame ing @ nuisance by storing and keeping grease, hides, and other offensive aaumal matter in a decaying condition. Mr.O. A. E)}ijot put in @ plea of jarisdiction that the Police Court has nojarisdiction to hear and determine this case, for the reason that the ordinances of the board of heaith, by virtue of which this court claims power and jucis- diction, is pow null and and the infor- mation should be quashed. He state1 taat this was an attempt to deprive defendant of his property or to exact a fee him; aud in order to maintain such action the suit should be brought under the common law and be tried by a jury. He maintained that the powers of the board of health were con- Sned asto what are nuisances, and to pro vide for the removal thereof, but that they have no legislative powers to mae ordi- nances. Mr. Beam, for the board of health, claimed that the Jurisdiction of the Poiice Court bad been settled and recognizea by the Supreme Court. Thecourt overruled the plea on the ground that this was a court for preliminary hearing, and had jurisdiction of cases of this Kind, which weré nuisances at common law. Mr. Elliot then asked a con- tinuance in order to get @ certiorari from the upper court, which was granted. So the prose :™ probably be beard in the Supreme ourt. FRESH WOODS AND PASTURES NEW.

Patrick has recently been fined several times for pastur- ing bis horses on the street parking, aad this seemed to be & new expedient to get his borses pastured free of cost, but as the proof was not quite positive the court gave Pat the benetit of the doubt, and disi the case.
