TO TIE EDITORS OF THE HERALD.
j wa, gratifed, in common with many Of my
fellow citizens to see in your paper of Satur tays
well deserved structures the condition Of our
public streets. There is, however way to improve
them. Let it be forbidden by law to throw any
thing but pure water into the streets and let them
be swept, and the side walks washed, daily. ana
not an admirer Of everything in Boston; but tho
practice of washing sidewalks daily, and sweeping
streets, which prevails there, and the fact that
nothing but pure water is rmitted to be thrown
into the streets, are matters worthy Of imitation.
have observed in London and Paris, that the
streets are kept clean, except in particular loca-
lites. The same Is true Of Brussels, Milan, and
Florence; while in Rome and Naples have seem
the vilest garbage and the most filthy ocduro
lying in the most frequented thoroughfares. ID
seems incredible that New York, which has better
facilities for keeping herself clean than London.
Paris, Brussels, Milan, Flereac or Boston, should
be in the filthy condition of Rome and Naples; and
l am sincerely rejoiced to find that your valuable
and widely circulating paper has taken hold of tho
subject. Go on, and you will be backed by

SlOO REWARD.

MY Negro Boy BOB, left my premises 4
Iu about the first day of June last, and al E
though he has been almost raised in this countyA
and has many relatives, a wife and children. &c I,
here, 1 have not heard of him since. He probably
has some marks of the whip upon his back. He
is of copper color, though not of mixed blood,
about 20 years of age, about five feet eight inches
high, and weighs about l55 pounds, sprightly and
quick motioned, rather likely, with pretty large
eyes which have great deal Of white in them
when opened much, has rather bad teeth with
gap in the front part of the upper jaw, he stam-
mers or suffers, talks fast, and is little bold and
impudent. In walking fast he usually makes
long and short step though lame, which l
believe is not the case. When boy he was a1ly
burned upon one of his arms Il think the right
from about the elbow down, the scar of which is
yet to be seen. He is lively and fond Of music,
and plays upon the banjo. l am fearful that he
may have fallen into bad hands, and been con-
veyed off and sold in an adjoining State. If this
should be so, aud the boy is now in the hands Of
an honest man, hope to hear from him. Ii not
stolen he in all probability has gone to some Of
the neighboring Indian nations, and may have
obtained forged free papers and attempt to pass
himself free, or he may be towering about some
city or town not far distant. hope that the patrol
and police of the country will look out for him.
If the said boy Bob is taken up out OF this State
and confined so that get him, will pay a
reward oil One hundred DoarS, or u taken Will
in this State and confined so that can get him,
L will pay reward Of Fifty Dollars Amy ihfor-
nation in relation ID said boy will be thankfully
received.

OBITUARY.

DIED, in this place on the night Of the Doth in
of his age.
The DECEASED css tctn in Claiborne county,
East Tennessee, and came to Arkansas IA the
year lS43. Having qualified himself for the prac-
tce of medicine, and possessing fine intellect
with great energy of character, he commenced
his professional career in Sewer county, IN this
State, and in two years time, had acquired such
a reputation as would have insured him rich
harvest of success, when, on the Sd OF August
last, he was attacked by the disease, whose slow
but sure advances bafffed the skill of his Physi-
cians; and consigned him to an early grave Du-
ring most of his illness he was confined to his bed
and although, from his own knowledge aud con-
vctions of his situation, hopeless of recovery, he
bore it with forttude, and resigned himself, calm
ly, to his fate. Although not professor ct reii-
gion, he became deeply interested on that subject
before his decease. and TO am enquiry made by &
Minister OF the Gospel as to his spiritual condi-
ton, replied, placing his hand on his breast, "al
is right, here" Fitted for usefulness, and rust
entering upon the field of his labor, he has been
stricken down in the prime of manhood; whilst
his departure presents a forcible and mournful ex-
ample Of the uncertainty of human hopes, and
of the frail tenure by which even the most robust
holds his mortal existence. But a few years have
elapsed since visions of future prosperity and re-
nown rose brightly before his fervid imagination,
aided by the intellectual and physical energy we'll
calculated to realize them. Now he rests be-
meath the cod Of the valley, and friendship Pours
above bis grave its sunavain& tribute.

T6 THE PUBLIC,

FRIENDS AND FELLOW CIrrzENs.-My position
before you is truly novel one. MY name has
gone o ut as the superintendent of the Washing
ton Male and Female Seminary, and now appears
rs conducting an individual enterprise in the same
village. l feel Il my duty to define my position
clearly; am not connected with the other school
at all; expressed my determination to resign to
the President Of the Board the day that the Sem
mary began its present session. A few days af-
ter handed him my resignation accompanied ny
my reasons, rather abridgment Of them, for
resgning, requesting that the entire document
should be published in the Telegraph, but for
reasons which the gentleman referred to supposed
would justify him. he has not done it, probably be-
cause the Board has not met. / am satisfied that
he intended no injustice to me in doing so, nor do
intend any reflection on him by the above re-
marks, for have ever regarded him my friend.
and perfect gentleman.
Among the curious, there will doubtless be ma
ny speculations with regard to the causes which
have led me to pursue this course, and | confess
have some disposition to crafty them, but as the
time is not far distant when the authority which
placed me at the Institution, will demand the rea-
sons at my hands forbear giving them now. more
than simply to state that in my judgment could
better subserve the cause of education and pro-
mote my own private interests. l am man, and
must subsist like other men. What would have
received from the Seminary, would not have sup
ported me and my family, and to procure this, l
regard my first duty. When resigned, pur-
posed trip to Kentucky and Tennessee to COL
lect some money duo me there, but being delayed,
was offered suth cient number Of pupils, not
attending any school in this place, to support me
handsomely, and without disposition to interfere
with any man l have determined TO take charge
of them, and they shall have my individual at
tention, both to improve and protect them. After
the present session, or BEFORE if it should be found
necessary, shall associate with myself gente-
man of und'sputed qualifications as a teacher.
Send me your children, and if do not advance
tlem, take them home again.
Respectfully,

which he had enjoyed during the palmy
days of Jackson and Van Buren, and his
general reputation as a writer and full
member of the Kitchen Cabinet, and a
welcome visitor to that of the parlor,

not so green as to write cup an admins

to consent to write articles for the Globe,
but not to have his name mentioned in
print in that connection. They who
have seen Mr.. Blair are aware that he is
not Joseph or an Absalom for beauty;
and when the distinguished visitors were
pressing him to do as they earnestly de-
sired, he said to President Poik-"I k's0ao.
