they are much less frank and honest-5or while
they sympAthixe and act in concert with the seces-

not the manliness to avow their principles and are
ever seeking to avoid the true issue, by thrusting
others upon the consideration of the people. A few
months since they openly declared their purposes
to discard old party alliances and associations, be-

however, that the people would not be duped into

Ma. EDIrv.: Permit me through ths col
umns Of Jour paper to enquire if our Town
Council design continuing fhs, present season,
the improvements they hz1s % no6y carried
On the past year or two. @
The great majority Of our citizens, 50 far as
l can judge. are much in favor Of the improve
ments made upon the Public Wharf, and
streets the past two years, as also the present
movement in regard to fencing and otherwise
putting the BuryIng Ground in order, and are
willing and anxious to see them carried out,
, not only in finishing. what is as yet hat half
done, the Public Wharf, but 10 put our Public
Squares in some sort Of a condition that they
will not, as now, be an eye sore to all, public
receptacle Of almost everything. such Is piles
Of stone, piles Of plank, drays, carts, boilers,
pig metal, barrels Of salt, sticks Of timber, and
various other srtlcles. Enough. however, has
been enumerated to show that such nuisances
on our Public Squares, Immediately IN front
Of the business part Of the town, most be any
thing but admirable.
Were permitted, Mr.. Editor, TO suggest a
plan for such purpose, would. without delay,
cause all Of the above rubbish TO be removed,
and at once proceed to grade and level each
square. so when finished they would present
/ smooth and even surface, the whole very
slightly sloping to the top Of the wharf, then,
] to prevent a repetition Of their agan oeeom-
\ ing a public cateh-all, | would throw around
I each square a neat, light and durable fence.

be any thing that would please the eye better,
and would it not be pleasing to see our chll-

there could be the same amount OF money ex-
pended in any other improvement Qor all this
would not cost very much that would add so
much towards identifying our thriving village

tained, viii venture to assert, by majority
Of the citizens.
Our town Is beginning TO attrnct the atten-
tion Of visitors from abroad. on account Of ITS
healthy and beautiful situation, and from the

The brig Juliet arrived at New
York on the ID day Of June, from
Valparaiso, having left that port on
the I7th ult.
By Captain Havens, who came
passenger in her, we learn that a ter
ribIe and destructive Earthquake oc-
CURED there on the 3rd Of April,
which nearly destroyed the whole
city. It lasted for about so seconds,
when many Of the buildings were
thrown down and the whole city
rocked violently.
The first shock, which was the
severest, causing the greatest de-
struction, occurred at 6 o'clock. in
the morning Of the 3rd ult., but sue
cessive shocks were felt for a period
of ten days, doing some, but no
great damage.
CONSERVATION seized upon the
yeople, who abandoned iheiI homes
and business and fled in all directions,
in the midst Of the terrible excite
ment, expecting momentary, that the
earth would open and engulPh them.
This is the most destructive EARTH
quake that has occurred in that pOr-
ton of South America, since 1877
When the Juliet sailed the excite
ment had subsidized and business had
been resumed. 8.
