of the city shall have been exhausted
in paying the debts, there will still
remain unpaid Of the city debts, the
| sum of $6,467 "a, to be provided for,
either by the legitimate means for
revenue to the city, or such means as
our fellow citizens, in accordance with
their proposition above referred to,
may devise.
What may be done by eur fellow
citizens by way of voluntary contri,
buttons for the payment of the city
debts, l cannot anticipate; but nothing,
so far as l am informed, has yet been
done.
The honor of the city and its citi-
zens, requires that all the debts of the
city shall be paid or provided for, be-
fore the city government shall cease
its action altogether, and all things
considered, l doubt whether there can
be more expeditions or better method
devised, for the honorable payment
and discharge of these debts, than the
legitimate one provided by the city
charter.
The sooner we can be relieved from
these debts in an honorable way the
better. The responsibility will rest
upon the city and its citizens, in some
form or other, until they shall be paid.
The character of this responsibility,
and the extent of it, it does not seem
proper here to discuss. Whatever
course the Common Council shall de-
eide upon in the premises, shall receive
my aid in carrying it into effect.
Under existing circumstances, !
refrain from touching upon matters
relating to the government or improve

cooperating with you and my fellow
citizens in relieving ourselves from the
burthens Of city government, and
providing for the payment of the debts

WILT THOU REMEMBER ME.

WILT THOU REMEMBER ME.
Remember me,
Although between us ocean rolls,
And mou ntains rea: their towering heads
They cannot disunite the souls,
In love and friendship truly wed.
Remember me,
Should fckle fortune deign to smile,
And spread thy path with blooming
flowers,
Let one fond thought on me beguile
One moment from those happy hours.
Remember me,
If sorrow DER thy head should fling,
Her sable mantle, dark and drear,
Sheuld thy fond hopes Of life take wing,
And leave no friend to soothe or cheer.
Remember me,
When memory turns to scenes long past,
Recalls the happy hours of youth,
Those golden hours, too bright to last,
Season Of faith, of love, of truth.
Remember me,
And when DER me the grave shall close,
Let memory faithful to her trust.
Recall the friend Of early year,
From death, from silence, and the dust.

ANCESTORS.

| sccrn the man who boasts his birth,
And counts his titles and his lands
Who takes his name and heritage
From out dying fathers hands.
The sword his proud forefathers drew
He cannot lift from out its sheath,
But walks shadow on the earth,
OF mould and ashes down beneath.
| scorn him, and his countless gold
His equipage, and lands, and slaves;

The glory of ancestral graves.
Fool with his parchment and his seals
To think him, as he walks his sod,
A better than the poorest man
Who claims father in his God.

1t isn't strange that it is crowded, I've
read that its namesake always is, but
there's the devil to pay in both cases,
and by the numbers of these splendid
asylums for the insane, it strikes me
the bills received from the poor souls

In a pleasant cottage, on the old

their longing arms. Their eyes ill
with tears, and their bosoms throb with
emotion as they think of his long alb

To the Common Council Of the City Of
Nerada:
FELLOW CITIzENs,-In accordance
with the duty prescribed to me by the
city charter, to make "quarterly,
a general statement of the situation
and condition of the city, in relation
to its government, finances and i'm
provements," respectfully lay before
you this, my second quarterly state
ment.
About the last of August last, q
large and respectable portion Of eur
fellow citizens expressed to you,
through their committee, their desire
to be relieved from the expense Of a
city government--requesting you, as
soon as practicable, to stop further
expenses, and to liquidate the debts of
the city, and pledging themselves TO
raise a sufficient sum to meet whats
ever amount of indebtedness might re-
main unsatisiied after applying the
then available means of the city to
the extinguishment of the city debts.
The Common Council, believing
that the above proposition was the
result of wise and prudent policy,
in as much as the population Of the
city had greatly decreased, and con,
sequently, the expenses Of the city
government, as provided by the char
ter, had become greatly dispropor-
toned to the means for revenue
acceded to the proposition, in accord
ance with the wishes of our fellow
citizens, and have liquidated the debts
of the city. Agreeably to one of
the terms of the proposition, no pay
mcnt has yet been collected for liz
censes, for the months of September
and October, nor any fines sought to
be imposed.
The whole expenses Of the city up
to the present time, for which appro-
priations have been made, amount to
the sum of S13,743 &C
Ofwhich amount the sum of 4,434 Sc
has been paid
Leaving the sum of 9,308 80
due and unpaid by the
city.
TO meet this balance of indebted
ness there remains in the hands of the
Treasurer, notes amounting to the
sum of S 297 90
Of the city taxes, there re-
mains uneollected the sum
of 1850 SO
For licenses, previously to
the 1st of September $50 &c
For fines, breaches of city
ordinances, etc. 1,o71 90
And the city buildiags, which
may be estimated at 1000 90
Making the whole means Of
the city, without including
anything fer licenses since
Sept. lst, amount to the-
sum of 5,5S7 sc
But Of this sum there will
probably be about LOO 90
of the taxes, and 1,O46 90
due for fines never collected, -
