pleasure to the time when trade will revive in

summer, and, though thank Heaven We have been
blessed with that greatest blessing good health,

some time back There has never been better

"FAsnroNABLE PERsoNs"-A city contemporary
in his notice of the company at the ball Of the
" Perseverance" ON Monday evening last, says,
among otl er things that he saw several fashion
able persons present" "Plutesn would like to
know what he terms "fdssionnble persons 70
FLUTES acknowledges himself to having seen there,
several mouid-be fashionable persons, but does not
think that they exceled either in gentilty or re-
speciality, the ladies and gentlemen there assem-
bled, either in point of morality or good standing
in the community and they don't aspire to the
term fashionable by any means. If we mistake
not, we see occasionally the manuscript Of book
which is to be published shortly, and which de-
fines very clearly who are the fashionable orsoouM
be fashionable people of this locality their pedi-
gree, and pretensions. /" Wait little longer"
GoD Bless THEN There was demonstration,
and successful one, too, made by the ladies of
Old Virginia at the Agricultural Fair lately held
near Richmond, to raise funds to forward the work
on the "Washington Monument Let the dear
creatures the tue American maidens and matrons
in every State initiate the ladies' Of the sold Do
minion and in very short time this noble struc.
ture win be completed. For where woman takes
such patriotic and worthy matters in hand there
is, indeed, " no such word as fail"

time since the eyes of citizens have been greet

Too EAnr.--wo must be plain. Carts used
for certain Corporation purposes go 10 work too
early In the evening, and several complaints TO
such have been made to us. A gentleman paying
his addresses TO one of the fair a few nights
ago, was seriously annoyed in his olfactLries by
one Of these vehicles passing while standing at the
door OF the lady's residence in conversation with
her; his feelings may better be imagined than

Let that despised, but very worthy and useful
class of our city officials, the ward scavengers, at

there, and considering the noisy and suspicious
characters who congregrate at such places, an ell
cient and necessary number Of officers is requisite
TO meet all emergencies, and ought 20 be suppled.
Let the Railroad Company employ such and pay
them. We think they could easily afford it.
