! A NEcEssIry.--There is no street in Lynchburg
that needs conduit badly the portion of first
iley between Main aud Church streets. Vast guam
lies of the dirt and filth of Court House hill aud
church street pass along it. a constant stream of
It'd drainage from the Washington House emptics
self upon it, and the flowing tide of corruption
which has its fountain in the Washington stable has
rs channel down this alley. All these commngling
ogether get up glorious stcneh--as powerfua the
,ccumulated essences of miasmatc regions. As we
write ii salutes nasal vrgan with an earnestness
If greeting from which we fiin would turn--if we
1nld But that is impossible without deserving our
p,st of dutyfor in all the qualifications of this To-
,lity it is ubiquitous and supreme Under these cir
camstances it would be gross neglect not to cuvert
this street. even if 1t was uninhabited But when we
ind such Indispensable and important personages MS
merchants, lawyers, doctors, editors, printers hotel
keepers &c, living in it, aud constant stream OF
npn women and children throngingit it is almost
oereblet such negligence has long character
1ed the policy of Street Committees to let it alone
in its work of generating disgusting ef1uvia and
snreading disease But the stranges part of the
ter is that the authorities are now constructing sew
or in portion of this street which from its ecipitous
rads does not need one half SO much this portion
and whose inhabitants are mainly free negroes and
worse than free negroesand this section of the Al
lev is still to remain unimproved
We hope however that these remarks and a little
reflection on the part of the Fathers will bring
them to sense Of their duty and that they will speed
lie do it, If not will try the virtue of u renewed
attack and ia little grape" If turf will not
bring them down from the tree of error and obsna-
c, in which they perched, will try the effect of
stones.
RAIy--If the rain which fell so copiously in this
city "Wednesday evening extended far into the coun-
try il will be worth thousands to the farmers. The
corn was beginning to suffer materially for the want
of rain and it also needed to enable the farmers
10 finish planting their tobacco crops Wehope it pre-
vailed sufficiently to supply to great extent those
wants To us ofthe city it was most welcome vistant
washing off it did the streets, & cooling the heat
elatmosphere, May such visits during the summer
not be 'like angels. =
PoRrRAIr of Judge Leigh can now be seen sus-
pended over his seat in the Court House-at least
learn that 1T was intended for him, but should not
suspect it from any resemblance it bears to the org
nal. 1t is finely executed and handsomely framed
painting, (Crayon) but is strangely at fault like
ness 1t was procured by the members of the bar
and we would advise them to have it retouched.
CAN CANCER BE CURED2--We neither know nor
profess to know personally aught the mooted point
involved in the above interrogatory lis question
about which Doctors differ we are therefore silent
But our neutrality does not forbid us to hear and
see nor to afford the public opportunity to under
stand what others may claim to know and do in the
premises. We therefore refer to the certificates pre-
sented by Messrs. Gilbert & Kennedy, of New York,
published in another column, and which we have
ceived in book made up of others, ofa similar char
acter and all principally from men resident and wide
" known in the Southern States-among others, one
FROM former fellow citizen, DIR. W. p. Allison who
testifes to DR.. Gilbert that he considers him "the
instrument in the hands of Cod Of saving his life
and relieving him s'of the most direfu disease that
flesh is heir to- So much,about the certificates.
Now as to the personal character of DR.. G., we
here introduce for the information of the sufferer who
may design to consult him, the following testimony
from our anti-humbug, plan-spoken neghbor of the
Republican. 1t is u sort of testimony that we wish
could render to another Cancer Doctor that we
wo of--and of whom we may, if he so desires, have
something further to say hereafter:
I'VE knew Dr. Gilbert personally several years since
in Memphis, Tennessee, and, know that while there,
he effected most remarkable cures of Cancers,
Tumors, &c. We no believer in paRaceas of any
kind and therefore not liable to be humbugged by
quackery. But Dr. Gilbert is no humbug or impos-
tor. lie has devoted years to this branch of med
cine and we sincerely believe possesses an amount
OF knowledge upon it, both physiological and pract-
cal unequalled by any other man in the Union. In
to hat ,tipt,Sf
and pays underwriting attention to his PATIENTS
Knowing these things of our personal knowledge, we
feel 1t duty to call attention to his advertisement,
and recommend to all persons afflicted with Cancers,
lnmors, &c. to put themselves under his treatment.
II Gilbert cannot cnre them the is indeed hope
