WHITE POINT GARDEN.-It is pleasing to note
that our City Fathers have at length commenced
improving this once beautiful promenade. A car
penters bench and abundance of shavings
have Uttered the ground for some time and gave
promise of the good things to come. few eve
nings since eyes were cheered and our hearts
gladdened at the sight of several new benches on
the east end of Tie garden. Unfortunately, most
Of the promenaders prefer being as near the water
as possible, and the walk frorting on the Bathing
House is destitute of both seats and ratings
War has always been called a great leveller, but,
judging from the inequalities that are still appa-
rent on the Battery, it is evidently in this case
misnomer. isE
ILL.-We regret to learn that the Rev. Father
O'Neill, of Savannah, is quite ill of typhoid fever
at the residence in this city OF Father Cullinan
prostration tells on him with great weight Hopes
OF his ultimate recovery slight, though we
hope he may yet he spared to continue his Iabors
In sphere OF usefulness-CO Columbus Sun.
This good old gentleman resided for many years
in this city, and drew around him many hearts
which will be filled with sorrow at reading the
above announcement. That he may recover is
the earnest wish of many who long have known
him only as one of the best OF men.
THE MERCIFUL MAN IS MERcIFUL TO HIS BEAST
This has always been the motto Of the different
humane societies. but though we are not
able, at present, to boast Of such an institution,
yet, If any of these humanitarians were to pay us
visit in this red hot weather, their eyes would be
rejoiced by the unusual sight that they would Ht-
ness We refer to the driver of spring cart,
who, with strange foresight, has not only provided
an umbrella for himself, but has rugged up fancy
awning, which completely covers his horse and
shields him effectually from the heat. We are not
aware Of any similar case, and would advise the
fortunate owner Of the awning to apply at once
for medal, he belongs to the class that
humane societies most delight to honor.
o.
FoREsrALIMa.-The City Ordinances against
this offence are very severe, and at one time ex-
cited the attention of the authorities to such
degree that it was almost entirely suppressed,
but in the last few months it has revived, and is
carried on now to such an extent that we have
never yet seen approached. This is the obserya-
tion Of our own eyes, and mentioned here be-
cause We desire to draw the attention of the Mar
ket Board and others whom it concerns to q COM
munication in another column, which is right in
bringing this abuse to public view but errs slight
ly in saying that housekeepers only are the traf-
fckers with the boatmen on South Bay. The
principal and most numerous frequenters Of this
section Of the city, and the greatest purchasers
vegetables, fruits. &C., at cheap rates, are the
market women, who convey these articles early
in the morning to their stalls, and, in less than
an hour make the public pay one and two hun
dred per cent. more for them than IL they had
been bought from first hands. Some few years
back the Ordinances against forestalling were
posted up in the different parts of the Market
where 1t could meet the eye, and every effort was
made by those whose duty it was to prevent it,
and we hope shortly to see similar exertions be-
ing made to put down this unlawful traffic. IL only
for the benefit which would accrue to the poor,
who certainly now are the largest class Of this
community.
