Hanks, the we'll known actress, (who,
by the by, is an honorary member Of
the Company, presented +" very rieh
and elegant pair Of silk MARKERS made
by herself. They are of rich double
twilled silk, half blue and halfred, with
with u heavy gold fringe border, ana
each staff is s~urmounted by q gilt spear
head. In the center of each are appro-
pirate emblems Of the Fire Department
surrounded by an oval circle oil thirteen
beautiful stars. They are very taste
fully and c~reditably gotten up, and a

HURRY Ur THAT SIDEwALK.-The mud
on the Divide, at the point where the
proposed new sidewalk is to be con-
structed, is very deep, soft and disa-
crecable. 1t is a sad sight to see tidiiy
dressed ladies obliged to wade through
that dirty mess, ankle deep, and we
wonder that the property holders there
can be so depravcd as to allow 1t.
There are three or four wagon ways
leading into stable yards, where the
mud is the deepest. These places are
special nuisances TO the ladies, or any
body who like TO keep Their boots some
what clean.
