piles of refuse quids the scent of which would

render it necessary that there should be, during

court. If the markets, which are open and ex.
posed to free currents Of air, require semiweekly
ablutions we certain think the Office Of the chief
magistrate In the city should be kept in sonething
like healthy rider. We spoke of the offensive con-
dition of this court some weeks since. Yesterday
there was an attempt, the first we have seen for
| six months, at cleanliness. Whether it is propos
ed to continue the operation, and purify the space
under the desk and the reeking walls by the LIST of
January. remains to be seen. Welcen only say to
the persons having charge Of the cleansing of the
Hall-and we have not been able to find out who is
responsible for it-that they win add much to the
convenience, the health and the comfort of those
whose duties compel frequen! and protracted at
tendance atthe Mayors courtby keeping it in con-
dition approxmating to within at least 20 degrees
of the cleanliness of negro clubhouse.

is attraction in bright eyes, rosy lips and peary
teeth that penetrates to the very sole of an "odd
fellows" boots Talk aboutmagnets and poles!-
They are not a circumstance to the shooting elec
trio rays which. eminating from the black, blue or
hazel eyes of woman pierce the inmost heart OF
| man. As q matter of course, the school and all
those friends who participate in the excursion, will
| have pleasant time of it.
| On next Sunday the Wesley Valley Sunday
School will hold their anniversary in the Church in
