work of repairing the paved streets Of tbs
town, and this morning it was pleasant to
notice the rapid Roadway they were making in
localities which were terribly cut up by the

town from the accumulation of heavy costs.

are the John S. Fox, with 10S.11 tons coal to
American Company, and the Anna Marion,

were the Anna Marion, with dry goods, &c,
to Edwards Ferry, and nine boats light. The
