REPORTS CALLED For .

REPoRTS CALLED FOR.
From the Committee on streets, wit b refer
ence to the matter of opening accommodation
lane. The Chairman being absent mo report
was made; and on motion of Mr.. Hill, the
matter was continued in the hands of the
Committee until the next regular meeting.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL.
The proceedings of the Common Council,
submitted for concurrence were severa lly
Considered and acted on as follows:
The resolution authorizing the Register to
take loan (for the purpose of building the
new Market House, of $4,000 from the
Norfolk Savings Institution, upon the condi-
tions proposed,viz: that the said loan be COZ
solidated with debt of Fifteen Thousand
five hundred dollars now due that institu-
ton, the whole to be secured by the deposite
as collateral of the Stock of the City In the
Raleigh and CASTOR Railroad, and cur tail
OF not less than One Thousand Dollars to be
paid thereon every ninety days being under
consideration,
MIR. Hill opposed the resolution. He
thought the terms by which the city would
be bound in case the loan was taken, were
such that it might be found impracticable
to comply with them; and he was therefore
unwilling to enter into any engagement Of
the kind, which would render the most de-
sirable stock held by the city liable to be
sold at any time, whether favorable or not,
He had no doubt the Market Committee
could fall upon some more acceptable plan
for providing the means required.
Mr.. Harrison advocated the measure, and
on his motion, the resolution was concurred

Consisting Of great variety OF unique and
beautiful patterns Of Cigar Tubes; also, sew
eral varieties of Pipe Tubes. The popularity
about these srticles is that each one is arrang-
ed so as to receive a damp sponge, through
which the smoke of the burning cigar has to
pass on its way TO the mouth. This damp
sponge not only coolS the smoke, but extracts
from it the nicotine oil, the poisonous proper
tv of the Tobacco, which renders the breath
less offensive. Smokers will find the use Of
these Tubes luxury never before attained
except BY using the Turkish jar. Their
use will also greatly promote the health ofthe
habitual smoker and preserve the sweetness
Of the breath.
