MAP OF NoRFoLK.-There is on exhi-
bition at Wilson & Wakes bookstore,
a map of the city of Norfolk, gotten up

needed in Norfolk, and as the price is
very reasonable, we commend it to the
patronage of all.

Our STREETs.--Persons have Won
dered at the unclean condition of our
streets, and have remarked that the city
was remarkably healthy for the streets
to be in the condition in which they
now are. No lime has been used, OF
scarcely any, to prevent the bad smell
that will arise in cities, especially when

majority of ours do. Why it is we can
not say, but will say they need atten-

ishing that our councilmen, or those who
compose the committee on the burial
grounds should be so negligent of the
business for which they were appoint

desirable to have those who will devote
some attention to 'the city of thedead,

those who compose the committee on
burial grounds would pay some atten'
| ton to them, with the care they receive
from individuals, we would have two
handsome cemeteries. & 81.
