The Board of County Commissioners will meet at their rooni, at the Court House, in regular session, to-day. Some important business will be transacted. Market Beport. We publish a corrected market report this morning, as is the custom every Tuesday morning. This, with full telegraphic market reports, will be found in each isue of the Weekly. Fine Photographs. We arc indebted to Mr. Phillips for a couple of fine photographs of two of the locomotives that run on the E. k C. road, together with the engine-house in which they are kept. Fined. Young Frippen, who was charged with malicious trespass, in that he had split a cow'e tongue, was lined by Esquire Walker. So ; costs about $15. It was a mean act, and his punishment was uo doubt well merited, as the cow belonged to a poor widow woman. Too Wet. We met quite a number of farmers in the city yesterday, who complained that the wet weather has set them back very much with their work. But little corn has been planted so far, aud the late rains will, of course, operate much against planting. Court of Common Pleas. The session of the Court of Common Pleas, commenced yesterday, Judge Johnson presiding. A jury was impauneled for the term, and some probate business attended to. Beyond that, uothing was done. The Court adjourned at an early hour in the afternoon. Protectant Episcopal. The lit. Bev. Bishop Talbott will visit this part of the Pioeese next week. He will visit Trinity Church, Smdersville, on Sunday the lOih inst; will be in this city to attend th Southern Convocation on Tuesday atd Wednesday, the 12th and. 13:h int.; at Mount Vernon on Friday evening, the 13:h inst., and at New Harmony ou Sunday the 17th inst. New Bells. The bells formerly selected for the use of the St. Mary's Catholic Church, not proving to be jut what was desired. Prof. G. W. Warren was employed to visit Cincinnati and select a' chime that would answer the purpose. Ile left the city for that purpose ou Friday, reached j Cincinnati on Saturday morning, and, iu three hours after he arrived, had selected the bells and had them shipped for this city on the steamer Sam. J. Hale. The bells reached tlu city vesrerdav morning, .m.l ,i ,i . ; , ,, hauled to the church. The be'ls, ' . . tilree m nua;her. welched 7 471 pounds. That may be coasidered quick work. The bells are said to have fine tone.

Monet Under Falsi: Pretenses. Last Saturday a mia named Henry I). Wertz. wa- arrested at Boonvilie, IlJ.. by an otticer from .Indianapolis, au i brought to this city, under charge of obtaiuing tuouey under false pretences and forgery. The money,

aoout .:i')0, was, as is alleged, obtame i ; irom trie :a:e ireasurer on a lorsreu order, or certificate of some kind, the exact nature of which the officer did not know. "Wertz was li ing in Boonvilie under an assumed name, having gone to that place about six months ago, and purchased a law library of Jesse Fuller, giving his name as Henry D. Wilson. He formerly reside! ia Virginia, where he was married. At the commencement of the war he entered the rebel army, and served as Captaiu until he was cap tured, and placed in one of the North,r j e . : cio piisijus. lie Wfai'Ci nuiu iiiuu, and when the war had ended, re-turned to his wife, living with her for some time. Her parents were wealthy, and she received a large amount of money from them. Wertz f-ucceeded in getting about $15,0o0 in his own hands, and then left his wife. Since that time it appears he has been wandering up and down the coustry, and has, of coure, spent all the money. When the officer arrested him, he used the name Wertz, to which Wertz replied: " What do you call me by that name for? it is not my name." The officer told him that the proof of identity was posit;ve, aud that it was no u.-e for him to deny that Wertz was his ro il name. Wertz then said he Wuuld go with the officer, but did not want any uoiso made about his arrest. He at once repaired to his room, got his vali.se, and came to the city with the officer, on Saturday, being lodged iu the city prison till yesterday morning, when he was put on board the train and carried to Indianapolis. At Boonvilie, he passed himself for au unmarried man, aud had gained the confidence of many of the sood citizens of the place. The above statement was placed in our possession on Sunday,-by the officer, who requested that we refraiu from publishing i t until he got away from the city with the prisoner, hoping that he would be able to induce Wertz to disclose some facts about the operations of other parties in different parts of the State. Arrested. A " gay and festive " well, we won't say what or who, any more than to state that he bore a striking resemblance to a man, wel' dressed, polite aud courteous to police officers, was caught out at au early hour on Monday morning by one of the police officers, on what might be designated, with propriety, an extraordinary and protracted drunk. Had he held his tongue, aud not made so much noise, he possibly might have reached his boardinghouse without molestation; but no doubt feeling that he was a rich, wholesale liquor dealer, he became so jubilant that he attracted the attention of a policeman, and found a lodging in the city lock-up. The description of the individual was given, but not the name. He was discharged from custody, but will yet have a hearing before the Grand Tycoon. Trade. It is most gratifying to state that the trade of the city is iiu proving very fast. Our wholesale dealers never before realized so good a trade at this season of the year as at the present time aud for the la-t few weeks. A better class of mer chants are now visiting the city than ; heretofore, and more cash is being paid on purchases. Many merchants from the South, tn route for Louisville and Cincinnati, after looking through th3 stocks iu this city, have -male their purchases here, aud then returned home satisfied. With direct railroad communication through South Illinois and Western Kentucky, we may expect a largely increased trade. The great question is . cow, Shall we have that eommuuicatioa? So far as Western Kentucky, and the country to the south of it is concerned, it. is for our people to sy whether we shall have that railroad commuaicati'.-u before or after railroads from other cities have penetrated the country, the trade of which Evansviile should control. The vote on that question will be taken on the 6th inst. T Yet Found. The body of -foliu Bowers, the boy who was drowned in Pigeon Creek on Sunday evening, has not yet been found, and it is thought likely it will not he. As the bottom of the creek where he fell iu is known to be covered with logs, j it is supposed that his body lodged ' under some one of them.

Narrow Escape. On Sunday evening, a little child of Coti-taljle Frank Morris,- asked the father fur five cents. Frank gave the child a nickel five cent piece, and. for .a while, thought no more of it. Directly the child was discovered to be strangling. The mother at ouce picked up the child and gave it some sound thumps on the back, wheu the nickel flew from it throat half way across the room. The hild had at tempted to swallow the five cont piece, which had lodged in t.ie throat. But for the timely -ii-covry, it :;.i.ht have proven fatal. Before Esq. Walker. A woman named Henrietta Weipel, caused to be brought three suits ai ainst a m in named Charles Stigmer, yesterday, one for provoking ao assault, one for au assault, and one for malicious trespass. The case for provoking an assault was dismissed, but iu each of the other cases he was fined $1; co.-t in each case i'7 00. It appeared that Stigmer had been living in a aouse belonging to the woman, and that when he was removing from the premises some trouble aroe, which resulted in an assault on the woman, aud the damaging of her property. He paid dearly for his fuu, as men usually do whi?n they get into trouble with a woman. Served him ricrht. Left. The Holland Combination left on Saturday by the Ada Lyon, we are. told, for Bowling Jreen. Mr. Holland following by the Morning Star, yesterday, and going by way of Louisville. There is not room for two theatres in this place, as has been clearly demonstrated during the la-t three or four weeks. If ti e one already here was better supported, better playing might be expected. Mr. Uolland left without paying sundry bills that he had contracted, and it may b; well for the Bowling Green people to know how he transacts business. Grant Club Meeting. A large crowd assembled at the Court Ilou-e and found the building occupied by a religious meeting, no arrangements having been made by the Club to secure it. The Club was. however, called to order by the President, Col. Buchanan, in ;the hall below. Capt. Darling, Capt. T. C. Smith, and Capt. Esslinger were appointed a committee to procure a place of meeting. After a short speech by Col. Buchanan, a score or more recruits were enlisted, and the Club then al- ! j-"urued to meet next Saturday eveniuz. at such place as may be secure 1 by the Committee. Every man determined to have the largest hall in the city and cram ?t full at the next meetiasr. The Grand Opera Benefit of Prof. Mathias. 0-.vin to the inclement weathir, the proposed benefit to Prof. Mathhs, which was advertised for last bight, was piwpoued until to-ni-rht. on which occasion, we hupe to see the hou-e crowded to its fullest capacity.
