The Crofou Water and the Streets.
wv writes long, unreasonable letter, abus-
ing the Crotcn Water because the People do not
introduce it into their houses, and because the
City is not kept clean What can the man mean (?
The Croton Water is good it is abundant and
the People are taking it in, though perhaps not as
fast as they should. Those who condemn them
selves to pay taxes for it without enjoying the full
benefit of it can blame none but themselves. 10
these the saving in assurance, in Washing Streets,
&c, will but meagerly compensate for ;heir in
creased burthens. But those who introduce the
water use it and pay for it, as we do, will find
it richly worth its cost
As to keeping our Streets clean, with ten thou
sand Hogs in them and the People so filthy as l
great many of them now are, we fear II Is out OF
the question. Oar City lies very badly to wash
itself, and even with rain every day grows
worse and so long as half the inhabitants VIII
throw their garbage into the streets, sweeping
them every dav would not remedy the evil. II
our officers had nerve enough to proclaim and
Cdil cut llldl Tue laws "uutS' " 7tt4S'AJ
and fines rgdy exacted of whoever threw rub
Dish in the streets, the nuisance might Tor time
be abated, but it would probably render those 9TH
GERS unpopular and turn them out the next kIcc-
ton. Sc We fear shall wag on in TIE Old way
BENEFITS OF ADvERTIsING.-HARD lines =
We understand that Mr.. Sears, tie publisher OF
several useful pictorial Volumes has sold since the
oath of May last upwards of 1000 copies of his
BIBLE BIOGRAPHY, and that orders are con-
stantly coming from all parts of the Union, which
he is unable to supply. There is no doubt that the
volume is q good and useful one; but this Is not
all the secret Mr.. 5. advertises literally and
extensively in all the leading papers of the Union.
For the veracity of these statements, the reader IS
referred to MIR. Mahlon Day, the printer, and Mr.
! e. Walker Fulton street, the binder of the work.
