CLEANING UP.-The City Marshal
informs us that the citizens. generally
are cleaning up their alleys aud back

that effect by him. We are glad to
hear this, as there as nothing so con-

There are some persons, however,
who have not needed the notice, and
to all those we would say, be warmed
in time, and avoid prosecution.
