Akuxees,ion TO cities.

The people Of this country profess to be
profound admirers of water, and We boast
with honest pride OF our Croton and Fair
mount; yet no sooner are water works intro
duced into city than the pump and the
accompanying cup are removed, and the
weary foot passenger is actually driven into
a bar-room or soda water saloon 10 queuch
bis thirst. We would suggest thatfor every
cup and pump removed from the puolic
streets, a little stream of the pipe water be
substituted, either in the form Of fountain
on the curt-stoue, or as an ornament to an
Above in the wall of some house or public
building. These might be made very orna-
mental, and q lsdle or a cup attached would
do more to promote the temperance Of our
population than the employment of dozen
lecturers on tue subject. The expense would
be very trihing. and the boon would be tho
roughly appreciated by every one. The CT
ties If Europe are nearly all provided with
little fountains. at which the people can
drink; aud as We have copied them in the
beautiful and healthy custom Of planting our
streets with trees, let US also copy them in
supplying limped streams Of cooling water.

The DIE m ma.

We see it intimaied in certain quarters,
that George w. Summers will probably be
the opposition candidate for Governor at the
next election. 1t would be capital nomina-
ton, for besides his eminent fitness for the
place, bis orstorical performances in the can
vass would impart peculiar zest to it. We
should erjn ourselves immensely over the
botherations of the Democracy if be was the
candidate on. one side, and MIR. Lctcber on the
other. The cry Of abOlitiOnism was the grand
aud only reliance of that party 10 1852 for
defeating him, and it served their purpose
But in a contest between him aud MIR.
Lstcher, this cry could not be again raised,
although some Democratic editors in the
Commonwealth would, in all probability,
burst and die in the efforts to suppress it
