CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Grading Streets. In the Western section OF
the city, public improvement has kept pace
with private enterprise. The evidences of pros
perty are every where apparent Gibson-st.
has been recently graded as far as DoIphni-st.
and granite curb-stones placed along the mar
gins of the sidewalks. Dolphin street is being
graded from Gibson to Madison street Hofr-
man street is being paved and laid out so as to
form continuous thorouglfare from Pcnnsyl-
vania Avenue Oh the West, to North street on
the East. That portion of st. Mary street be-
tween Eutaw and Ross streets, is also UNDERGO
ing the process Of grading.
Run Alley. This narrow, dirty alley, in the
Western part ofthe city, has long been source
of annoyance to property holders in its inme-
date vicinity. During heavy rains the water
PUSHES through it like an impetuous torrent, in
undating the dwellings of the poor coored
families by whom it is chiefly inhabited An
effort was made some time since to have it
arched OF tunnclled in such manner as to af-
ford free passage for the water. The expense
of such an undertaking would doubtless be
more than counterbalanced by an enhanced
value of the adjacent property
improvement Suggested AS Improvement
seems to be the order Of the day, we suggest
the proprety of removing the building which
stands on the west corner Of Light and Balti-
more streets. This will have the effect of wild
eniDg Light street, and Of bringing it so nearly
opposite St Pau's street, that they might both
very appropriately be considered as one street,
and be called by the same name. All who
have visited the Methodist church on Light st.
know the inconvenience to which u crowd Of peo-
pie arc subjected while passing through so mar
row thoroughfarc. Weknow of no improve
ment so desirable or beneficial as that which
we now propose.
Interesting Meeting. The Presbytery of the
District Of Columbia (new SCHOOL, and the
Synod of Virginia, (new SCHOOL, will meet in
the Fifth Presbyterian Church, (iIev. MIR.
Hamner's) on the l4th and 18th of this mouth.
These bodies will bring together some fifty or
more clergymcn aud ruling elders, among
whom are some Of the most pious, learned and
eloquent men in that department of the Church
Of christ.
.4tmopheficaI Phenomenon. Last evening,
between and O'Clock, a singular appearance
was observed in the heavens, consisting OF
bright streak of light, extending nearly east
and west. AS "comng events cast their sha-
dows before Them" we suppose our friends, the
Millertos, and other fanatics will consider this
portentous omen of the approaching disso-
luton Of our planets.
Religious Reripal An extensive revival of
religion has lately prevailed in several of the
Methodist f. Churches of this city, especially
the Entaw, Fayctte, Exeter, Monument and
