We have been requested to call atten-
ton to number Of alleys in this CITY,
which are 10 a very i'm pure and unhealthy
condition; aud especially to the gutter
on the west side of Oh,rry street, running
from near Doaderick down past the
theatre. This gutter is the receptacle of
filth from various sources, aud, at times,
the stencil from it is exceedingly often
sive. Before the dry time set in, the FREE
quent rains washed away the deposiles Of
filth, but now, under the burning sun of
dog-days, when the rains have ceased,
they remain, and the exhalations from
them can not fail to engender disease. II
is somebody's duty 10 SEQ that this cry ing
evil Ia removed; and why does not that
somebody discharge his duty? In be-
half of the people, VIC demand the re-
moval Of this nuisance.

transpire right here along the Rappahanrock, or
even in our own brigade, and if the news is not
always correct, ii is much more reliable than what

but that which makes them most valuable Is that
they come from home. There is a great cal! for
something to read, and even periodicals, s,pamphlets

lr. Pethorick's Turkish Bath

When had taken possession Of the house as
signed to me, feeling irritable and teyerlsh after
tie fatigue OF the journey, suggested TO lbrahm
EHsndi that Turkish bath would be great lux
ury. lie said that he would order onei and
leaving the room, he presently returned, telling
me he had given ms ruc,ions for bath to be
brought 10 me in The eveniug.
A Turkish bath to be brought to me What
did he mean? On! it was not the kind of bath
muse in Egypt, but OF portable description,
which would answer lay purpose just as well, and
Which | must be content with, as there were no
public baths, as in Egypt, in the town.

weary, and inclined to retire for the night, our
old andhdy entering, announced that the bath
had arrived, on which lbraham EiIsndi, who had
kept me company, retired to bis apartments on
the opposite Side of the way.
The old woman, who had disappeared, now re.
tured IN company with young woman, atired
in a fcrde," or large scalf of white muslin, re-
liayed with red fancy borderings, and as black II
the face as night, furnishing sufficient proofs
