The people in the city are as a general
thing pretty favorably impressed with the
report Of the Sanitary Police fer the past
month, but some ofthem are disposed TO
think that the sanitary gentlemen have
entirely overlooked some points which
seem to require their attention. For in.
stance: The alley leading from Church to
Union street, between Cherry and College
and that portion of the bluff nearest the
Suspension bridge on this side ofthe river.
Principal DOOrkeePer of the House
The following notice Of W. L. Barry,
from the last number Of the Lebanon Her.
aid and Register, is TO the point:
W. L. Barry, the Oldest printer on the
American continent, is a candidate for
principal doorkeeper of the House Of
Representatives. The member who votes
against him may just IS well make up bis
mind 10 retire TO the shades of private
life. The editorial fraternity throughout
the State must see 10 it that ESQ. Barry is
elected. Defeat will crush his matrimonial
prospects, and consequently render him
miserable the remainder Of his life.
