which was given them. They asked permits

Sawyer refused, telling them that they might
play in pasture. Notwithstanding his orders
the boys went into the field and commenced
plying ball, frequently calling at the house for
water. Soon they commenced teasing Mr.
Sawyer, throwing away the water and imme-
diately calling for more, and throwing tur
against the house. Mr.. Sawyer's brother, Mr.
Crispan Sawyer, an old man, who was at the
house at the time, having been engaged in
hauling logs that morning with Joseph, bore il

Last year we had occasion to urge upon the
City Government the passage OF an order by
which the city should agree to bear ODe-half
the expense of watering the streets, the other
half to be raised by subscription. This is the
course pursued, we understand in other large
cities. We are also informed by many of our
leading physicians, that those who are not
members of the profession cannot realize the
injury to the public health created by these
clouds of dust which fill the streets and choke
up the lungs and air passages Of the people.
Particularly is this the case at present, when
the heat we are experiencing is SO unseasona-
BILE. This dust contains minute particles of
decaying matter, which carry with them the
seeds of serious diseases. This fact has been
proved very recently by Prof Tyndall, and
should have great weight with our City
Fathers Apart from considerations of health,
this dust penetrates the dwellings, covering
everything with dirt and even the food you eat
with grit 1t fills your eyes and nostrils when
you walk, covers your clothes, and renders
pedestriansm a torture. Those who use the
Sebago for allaying it are comparatively few,
and worst of all there is large class of people
who unless they are taxed for their own COM
fort will not pay a cent towards it, and a still
larger class who refrain from doing anything
because they think their more generous neigh
these stingy ones reap the benefit. At any
rate, let something be done and that quickly

Mr.. EDIToR,-One of the great needs of the
the city, we are informed, is furnished lodg-
ings. In all European cities, as we'll as the
large cities IN our own country, they abound
at all prices from the most expensive to the
cheapest, and are in great demand not only by
bachelors but also by young married couples.
Many one does not care to lodge and board
in the same house; they would prefer to be
perfectly untrammeled, able to go where they
please and when they please, without being
subject to query from those whose only mo-
tive is idle curiosity. Besides, it is far easier
to be suited with lodging rooms than with a
boarding house or hotel. In one case you see
nobody and know nobody conf ected with the
house but your landlord, or landlady; and you
see nim, or her, only when rent dav comes
round. In the other case you must see more
or less of your fellow boarders, whose company
may be TIE reverse of agreeable, or, if their
company IS agreeable, you may have to submit
to other annoyances that more than counter
balance the pleasure Of their society. In the
one case you are free as air; in the other q
slave to forms. We know of great many
young clerks and young married people in this
city to-day who would be delighted to live in
lodgings if they could find such as would suit
them. 1t would surely not only convenience
them if some persons who occupy residences
in pleasant portion of the city would rent out
some of their rooms, but it would also adds a
handsome sum to the landlords income. Can
not something be done in the matter?
