aEoRaETowN AND IT'S AFEAIRs-


dEOh0ETOWns ceptemDor t-i1 W.
AS far as am informed, the following Al
some Of the most important changes proposed
to be made in our town charter by the friends
and advocates Of reform:
To extend the right Of suffrage to all free
white male citizens twenty-one years of age,
and to impose poll-tax Of one dollar upon all
who are not Taxpayers under the present char
ter, to be appropriated to educational purposes.
Under the present charter only those who pay
q tax on one hundred dollars worth of real or
personal property are entitled to vote.
To elect all the officers of the corporation by
the people; under the present charter the peo-
pie only elect one--the Mayor.
To prohibit the holding Of more than one
elective office by one individual; under the
present charter any person may hold all he can
get.
1t is to be hoped that when these measures
are being discussed, we shall not lose sight al
together of certain improvements of public
character, which are Indispensable to the pros
perity of our town.
The Rev. DR.. Murray, of the Methodist Pro-
testant church, will preach in the Methodist
Episcopal church tonight; and the Rev. DR..
Johns, of Baltimore, will preach in Christ
Episcopal) church on next Sunday morning at
eleven o'clock.
/ hear many complaints from the citizens
living in the northeast part of our town, of the
little attention paid this summer to their COM
walks are in such wretched condition that it
is almost impossible to get along them in the
day, and to attempt it at night would be dan
gerous The hogs, too, are allowed to run at
large in small droves, and many of the owners
being too stingy or too poor to feed them, they
have to "root hog or die" Consequently,
their noses are often found in the various gar
vegetables flowers, &c. Where are the Po-
lice? The poor-house needs these four-footed
offenders.
The packet-boat Fashion arrived here yes
terday evening from Cumberland, with over
sixty passengers; thus showing that this is
already becoming quite favorite route with
persons travelling to and fro in that direction.
