CITY INTELLIGENCE.

The Condition of the Streets. We hear fire.
quent and Just complaints made of the dirty
condition Of the streets, which in some places
are almost impossible, on account of the mnd
and filth, to pedestrians. We have mentioned
this subject before, and hope that the "Fathers
of the City," who will soon assemble in their
legislative capacity, will deem 1t a part of their
duty to devise some plan by which the public
thoroughfares may be kept clean, not only dur
ing portion of the year, but the whole year
round. 1t was wise law, and a very tortu-
nate one at the present time, which forbds all
''swine from running at large" during certain
months of the winter season; for under pre-
sent circumstances many "pOrker," and
young specimen of the swinish race, would
find itself stuck in a slough of mud, instead of
being more lucky, and be stuck for the benefit
Of the poor of Baltimore city and county
aims house, mode of death preferable at least
to sufocation in a quagmre. We sincerely
hope that something may be done this session
of the Councils, which will obviate any neces-
sty for complaint hereafter.
