vArloN..--We had thought
that the ancient city Of Annapolis. in
Maryland, was finished some time
since but oy the following, from the
Baltimore Sun, it would appear that
all were mistaken
A gentleman just returncd from the
ancient and honorable city Of
Annapolis was much surprised at see
ing in that place short and tall dray
moving about the streets in n brisk
and businesslike manner. 1t is not
known what action the Oldest inhab.

thing is certain, siraws show which
way the wind blows. Annapolis is
not finished, and we predict it is des-
tined to become an important business
city.

temperance music is made Of. Music
is the language Of the passions--the
expression of feelings that words can
not embody. Music "to sooth the
savage soul" has no method in it
it cannot be confined to rules, though
il maybe measured by them. 1t is
wild and soft harmonious and dis
cordant by turns, and herein consists
its power TO "heal" and its beauty to
sooth.
An old song when sweetly discour-
sed, fills the brain with departed
spirits that come and 60, in a medly
0fgood and bad, rs we have seen them;
and inelts the soul into mood of adj
ioiration for the great power that is,
and has bestowed upon us the god-like
faculty of aspiration for the future,
and memory for the past.
Talk of Temperance music"-we
would us soon have the sea to be al

CuRGous--A subscriber in Lenawce
county, says that he attempted last
week booriDg for water in his well,
which had gone dry. After boring
several feet through strata of clay,
the augur suddenly sunk, and was sud
denly thrown back, with sefiicicnt force
to raise the man who had hold of the
rod, leaving him suspended in the air.
On drawing out the augur, a jet OF
fine sand was thrown many feet above
the top of the well, with noise like
the escape Of steam, from a large en-
CINE. The jet continued for about
half an hour, completely filling up the
well with fine sand, resembling dry
ashes.-Detroit Tribune,

that an important despatch, covering
one address to the Cuban authorities

of State to the Consul, were, in spite
of a promise of the Captain General
that they should not be meddled with

Of the Delta in a letter dated the 4tll
inst, svyin reference tc-the Rosetta
affair:
There is a rumor in town today
that Chevalier Hulsemann, tho Aus
TRAN Minister, has been to- Albany,
where Secetary Marcy now is, and
that the twain have had q long con-
ference, the result of which 10, that
Koszta is to be released, and allowed
to return to this country The rumor
is not entitled to much credit. II is
not at all probable that Hulsemann
has been authorized by his imperial
Master to settle this important ques-
ton so sufnmarily, even if he were In
clined to do SO. 1t is far more likely
that the afair will now remain in statu
quo until Marcy's mastery rejoilider
to the Chevalier's complaints have
been read and commented on in Eu-
rope, and then Francis Joseph will act
m conformity with the recorded ver-
dict Of Europe. The result will doubt
less be the same, at the expense OF a
more protracted detention Of koszta.
Es~In reference to the Five Points

that we are just on the eve Of an cleo

mealy-mouthed manner i'll which Sun
Gays outrage was noticed in some Of
our papers. One of the journals no.
ticed the affair as II Controversy"
TO this Mr. Pea5e makes the following
reply:
"Those engaged in the Mission work
at the House Of Industry, have had no
controversy with any Catholic Com
mittee-unless it can be called contro-
yercy to have our public service want

kicked about the streets, and finally

having his brains knocked out: and
the regular children Of our school driv-
on from our door with horrid oaths
and imprecations. If this be contro-
vorcy, then we have had controver-
cy."
As IN addendum to this, it may be
mentioned, that the editor Of the New
York American asserts positively that
large stores Of arms and ammunition,
muskets, revolvers, side arms, ect, were
during the past week, carried into st.
Mary's Church, in Grand street. Sto-

The Improvement of sidewalks

The season for action has come, and | sup
pose there is no diversity OF opinion rs to
the propriety of II. The manner Of acting,
and the amount TO be done, are the qustions,
which occur to our citizens generally, and
the answer is uncertain only as tn the feeling
of others, not positive and limited by the
private feeling of any. II is desired by all
that the work should be done at once, and
done thoroughly, so far as 1t reasonably can
be. Let us then come together and canvass
our necessities, and ascertain the opinions of
all. and act so that no reasonable complaint
may exist that the work is not well done.
We may depend upon it, in proportion TO the
completeness of the work will be the salts
faction of the people in it, and no one will
ever be sustained in the complaint that any
part is too perfect. The demand for perfect
accommodation is rs universal rs the percep-
tion of taste and comfort among us, and as
the idea that such n degree of Improvement is
feasible, by the combined action of an intel
ligent community for the purpose. That we
have suffered from the impericct. condition
of our streets is an incident of public neglect,
not of incapacity, and, when once considered,
can be permitted to continue no longer,
What is reasonable may be done, and the
question is as to rhdt and h0Ir. Let this be
come the subject of consideration with our
citizens, and ii, on a comparison of views, all
arc in favor of complete improvement, let it
be proposed in a system,-a plan which
should embrace all parts of the village and
both sides of the streets, and every feature of
convenience desirable, and the plan be adop-
ted as a system, and assigned to the Trustees,
and a provision be made for the expense, adj
cquatc to complete it in the very best manner.
An appropriat ion ola fixed sun from year to
year for five years, would, If in any degree
liberal, at once place this branch of improve
ment on a basis of convenience and comfort
and by the end Of that time afford more than
\ remuneration for all the outlay, in the en-
HANGED value of the property benefited,
property occupied habitually by all of us,
and worthless except as ii is convenient and
agreeable for use, and its salcable value esti-
mated TO a great extent in view of these con
siderations, and the general aspect of things
about it.
The credit which we have TO maintain, the
comfort and happiness we may provide for
