A Thorough Investigation wanted.
To be Finished.

We are glad to hear that the big ditch
on Union street is not designed as per
msnent institution of that very popular
throroughfare. If those who have charge
of the work are favored with anything
like good luck, the culvert will be COM
pleted and covered in before the Christ
mas holidays. People who complain O
the distractions caused in the street by
the work, should remember that the world
was not made in a day.

Farm HELM Wanted.

Yesterday we met with several gentle
men from the neighboring counties who
we're in the city for the purpose of employ
ing colored men TO help them on their
farms. The success attending their efforts
was hardly worth the pains taken, the
applicants finding but few members Of the
colored society who were disposed to leave
the lovely city, with its sights, banquets,
rings courts, and their prospects of getting
into offices aud jury boxes, to engage in the
less inviting but more remuneratiye labor
Of the farm. Owing to this fact it is quite
difficult to induce colored men to try their
hands In the country.
