WORTH ATTENTION Almost every one has
had occasion to be aware of the difficulty of as
| pertaining the number Of a house at night by
the present plan of small tin or other metal
plates containing the figures, and which fig
ures arc not only contracted in size, but fire.
| quently so Obliterated as TO be quite undis-
| tInguishable. We see that the Same diff
Guilty is experienced in Now York city, and a.
writer in the Courier and Enquirer says:
"A good many gentlemen up town have
| decided to place the number of their houses
upon the, glass plate, over their hall doors, in
| large gilt figures, go as to be equally visible
| by day and night. One of the greatest con-
| veniences not only to strangers but to resi-
| dents is to distinguish easily tho houses of
| their acquaintance, and now ladies are fire..
quently obliged to leave their carriages and
| climb the stoOp to decypher the absurd little
| number plates upon the doors of our costIiest
dwellings. The Fifth avenue has already set
| the example of the improvement, and we hope
| it wiz go through the city, and result in every
house, high or low, being distinctly numbered
on the glass or the door in large gilt figures,
which is the only place for it. Let New York
be numbered"

mostly by dodgers, there being but one pris.
