The next year viii be one Of very great impor-
lance in the history of our city. It's chief bust
ness streets and sewers are TO be reconstructed;
new streets and sewers are to be opened very
many private and public buildings are TO be
erected, ana public improvements generally are TO
be Instituted, upon which the future comfort con.
venience, beauty and prosperity Of the city will,
10 great degree, depend.
Mr.. EXALI has been practical architect and
builder here for more than thirty yeaIs. His
large experience and knowledge of his business
the peculiar business which will occupy most Of
the time and attention of the Couneil-his tho
rough acquaintance with the city; its wants; its
advantages and Disadvantages, as well as his
knowleds e of other cities, North and South. which
he has visited and studied, will be Of lnestima.
Bile value TO them. If not elected, his advice Uill
be constantly needed, and, 1t is hoped, sought by
the Council; but II elected the full benefit will be
had not only Of his advice on matters, small and
great, started by Others, but also OF his own
thoughts and suggestions as to new improvements.
The foregoing has been prompted by no per.
sonal preference for Mr.. EXALL but by simple
regard, which it is hoped viii he appreciated for
the PUBLIC GOOD.

A BILL OF FARE.-We find on our table a
bill of fare containing choice selection Of
yiands, such as green peas, pudding, Madeira
jelly, Charlotte Russo. and many other luxu-
ries, prepared by Barnum, our Prince of
Caterers, for the gentlemen of the Cumberland
Bar, who devoured all a few evenings since
and none we're there to tell the tale. To have
dipped into some of those rich dishes would
have been. an ample reward for racy article
on the subject, but the press was "ruled out,
and legally. too, we suppose. According to
the bill Of fare our lawyers must have had a
high old time all to themselves. Having
closely examined the billion both sides, we fail
TO find liquors Of any kind save coffee. That
speaks volumes in their praise. We are glad
Cumberland Bar Association can have good
time without looking on the wine when it is
red, when it giveth its color in The cup, when
it moveth itself Alright for at the last it biteth
like serpent and stingeth like an adder. .
