surrounded by fire while in a valley in the noun

affrighted herd believing with fear dashed through
the flames the most of them escaping badly burned,

Let Us lament in sorrow sore,
For Fleet street we'll may say,
That, had e livea a tvelvemonth more,
she had not died to-day.

Nuisances in our city are so common that they
seem to have become part and parcel of our mu-
nicipal regulations To stranger visiting city,
1t appears that our city laws rather require than
prohibit filth and nuisance. Is this right? Is it in
accordance with the letter of our city regulations
and the spirit Of enterprise otherwise manifested
among people: Is it the duty of any officer to
see to these things? If not we would respectfully
call the attention of city fathers to the impOr-
the absolute necessity, Of passing some regula-
ton to have the matter looked after and attended
to.
1t is true, remarked by intellingent friend we
have no street scayengers, and We have to suLsti-
tute hogs in their stead. and certain amount of filth
is necessary for the susenance of these substitutes
for street scavengers but even these subs turn in
utter disgust from some Of our alleys, sewers and
yards Hog Alley is not the only place to call at
tention to- filth rampant all over otherwise

days it may be able ITO speak, when its first baby
