STREET IMPROVEMENTS = We noticed,
several days since, that the Borough Faith
erS had caused planks to be laid in the
streets at the various crossings, during the
past week-a much needed convenience, for
which they will receive the thanks of pedes-
trians generally. But they should not stop
here All the streets, within the borough
limits, need macadamizing to make them
passable at all sc asons of the year. Then,
why not adopt measures for their permanent
Improvement? To accomplish this, the first
object that should engage the attention of
our municipal officers, is the proper grading
of the streets. This will have to be done
sooner or later, and the longer it is put off
the more difficult will be the Job, and the
more likely it will create dissatisfaction, in
that it may interfere with buildings that
may be erected hereafter. In the next
place, the grading should be done east and
west from Second street, as far as possible,
as the only practicable and efficient mode of
draining our streets perfectly-causing the
water on the one side to flow into the river,
and on the other into the swamp. These
two points-the permanent Improvement of
the streets, and the course whence the water
shall fiow-having been decided upon, the
next thing in order is, to have a survey
made of all the streets, to ascertain the
amount of filling and cutting that is needed
on each. And, lastly, raise the funds, either
by loan or taxation commence the work and
push it to a speedy completion, and then, and
not till then,will our borough assume the ap-
pearance of frst-class town-a town worthy
of its citizens, and a credit to the county We
throw out these hints for the contemplation
of all interested, not knowing whether they
will meet with any considerable degree of
appreciation, or not.

BROKE JAIL.-Stevens, one of the horse
thieves lodged in our county Jail two weeks
ago, made his escape at dark on Friday eve

the other prisoners confined in the same
room, got hold of large shoe knife, which
was made into saw and used in cutting off
three of the heavy iron bars of the window
Sratlng-the bars being inches wide, and
a. inch thick. Through the opening thus
made the prisoners effected their exit into
the jail-yard, and by means of hook and
some ed-clothing Stevens scaled the wall,
,1nped into the alley and ran for life.
Kaufman had also by this time reached the
top of the wall, but being discovered by
some persons passing at the moment, they
ordered him to return to the yard, which he
ald-two or three others being in waiting in
slde to take their turn in scaling the wall
But for the discovery, the whole batch would
nave been off in few minutes. The pris-
oners who failed to make their escape are
now confined in cell.

The last issue of the Sentinel shows that
our opinion as to its designs on Gen. Candy
is well-founded. 1t is already approaching
him with the honeyed words of adulation
and f1attery. 1t is quite sure the General
will not listen to the suggestions of the Re-
publicans of this State. We have not said
he would All we ask of him is to carry out
and a. rapidly as practicable; and in doing
SO, to .tollOao the example SGT HIM By las illus
triOus Chief. Gen. Grant. This is all we ask.
We feel sure we will not be disappointed
We can not speak on such subject tor the
Republicans of the State for we do not know
that they will deem it necessary to make
suggestions to Gen. Candy. He knows his
duty, and is able to perform it. But we will
say this, if the Republicans of the State are
not his friends and the friends of the gov
eminent. he will look in vain to any other
quarter for sympathy and support.
The Sentinel, now that Gen. Sickles has
been removed, affects to be one of his
champions, and assumes to speak for the
Republicans, declaring that they do not like
him, and that they are not displeased at his
removal. The rebel organ of Gov. Worth
has no more authority to speak for Republi-
cans than Mohammedon has to speak for
Christian And while the Sentinel says this,
it shows its hypocrisy by declaring that Gen.
Sickles has done "many things which meet
our seoerest condemnation. A pretty
journal, truly, to defend Gen. Sickles and
then charge Others with being hostile to him
The Sentinel says he has not done aoorse than
could have been expected under the cir
cumstances." There it is again-and yet
the Sentinel pretends to defend him, and
tries to show that the Republicans of the
State are his enemies. We think that, in
many respects, Gen. Sickles has done well.
