Local Corresnondenoe,

Mr. Editor lis it not high time that the
corporate machinery of our town was put IN
operation again The,necessity Of this ap>
pears ON every hand. The filthy condition
of the streets, the want of police force to
enforce law and preserve order, the enforce-
ment of municipal regulations respecting both
private and public property, show palpably
such nee ssity. To the eye of a stranger,
our town presents anything else than an in
wiling appearance, and is well calculated to
rcpel immigration. The desideratum of a
town corporate is manifest from the liberty
that is taken with the public highway sham
bles are constructed on the streets and side
walks with impuniiy, and the public square,
made vacant by the torch of the vandal in
yader of the past, is desecrated by the squat
ter of the present. who comes from aiar, and
without leave or license builds his shanty, in
which to deal ont the liquid fire, or prove
haunt for the lovers of the nightly revel and
game.
The Legislature is in session, and from its
composition the hope may be INDUCED that
the old charter could be renewed, or a new
one obtained that will enable US to put our
old and trusty citizens in authority, who will
protect the fair fame of our town, and be
terror to evil doors. Anyhow, make the et-
fort. LAW AND ORDER
1--WE are happy to inform Law and Or
der" that an application to the Legislature
has been prepared, and is now being circus
lated in our community for signatures, which
we hope will be promptly acted upon.l
