| A Handsome Premium-'ln peace prepare fol
war!"--t. has been a subject of complaint fol
many years, that the condition Of our sidewalks
IN the winter was great annoyance TO the cifi-
zcns, and a reproach to those in authority. We
have sometimes known the ice 70 accumulate to
the depth Of two three inches, and be permitted
% rem,in several months, without The least CT
fort being made to remove it, One Of most
intelligent and liberal fellow citizens, who has
once or twice in the course Of short life, had j
"confNH5cd fall, = while proceeding to and from
hts business, has authorized us 10 offer premium,
TO the person who shall succeed in invcnting a
machine that viii be successful in cleaning the
sidewalks, either by horse or hand pow or, imine
diately aficra snow storm. Competitors for the
premium will have to exhibit their machines at
the Fair of tho Machine Association, which is
to be held in Fancn Hall in the middle of Sep
tenItcr. Competition is invited from abroad. A
committee composed Of disintcrested individuals,
will decide upon the merits of the several ma
chimes which may be offered, and award the pre-
MUM TO the successful competitor.
As this is matter Of some importance to in
genius mechanics and others, we will thank
editorial brethren not only in this city but abroad
to briefly notice it. II the plan succeeds, the
limbs Of many good citizen may be preserved
from fracture every winter.--Boston Cent. &
