LOCAL MATTERS.

TO OUR SuBscn1DERs.-Wo would call the atten-
ton Of those who indebted to us throughout
the country that tho old year is closing and their
accounts not yet settled. The price OF sub
scription is not large and will not bc missed from
their plethoric pockets. The first Of January has
long been celebrated as day set apart Tor closing
old accounts, and We would not have our fr1cnds
depart from this time-honored custom. Money ls
the motive power of every enterprise, and ROWS
papers are no exception, and wo respectfully ask
our country subscr bers to cash up and commence
the new year with clear record.
F1nE.-A false alarm brought out the engines
about half-past 10 o'clock lastmght, aud created
some little excitement among that irreprcssible
class the romcn. who true to their calling, beard
the cries from afar, and totcd out their machines
instantor. Fortunately it resulted IN nothing
worse than m evenings 1amble, and the machines
were soon restored to thcir rest ng places.
The CATmDRAL.-This ruined pile, venerable in
appearance if not in years, has again received a
few complimentary touches from the hands of the
workmen. For long time the body and basement
t.at had fallen from the walls. This not only
IN eye-sore, but it would have been necessary
eventually to remove it in order to rebuild By an
arrangement with the city authorities this dirt is
now being removed from tho building, and is used
to fill the vacant lots; being mostly granite and
atone it s admirably adapted for the purpose, and
" II make q firm solid earth. In every case wherc
the owners 51aate the rubbish old bricks, &C., to
the city, it will be removed and used for the pur-
poses stated above.
