In o meteorological sense yesterday was poor

deyout worshppers at all the Catholic ana Episcopal

paid the day OF the Savlour's resurrection
and the breaking down Of the heavy gates
that barred man from participation in the glory OF

vocal outpourings in anthems OF praise and gladness
and the general spiritual joy finding expression in

swe get the full force of the miniature torrents
of melted snow which rush down the sides
with the first warm days of early spring, and
there being no decent drainage to carry it
away, there the water stands until the ground
thaws so it can escape that way, or until a
midsummer sun will dry it.
Men who pay taxes on property, should at
least be accommodated by having decent side
walks passing such property, and a sidewalk,
with mud from eight to ten inches deep, is
very far from passable. Were there no rem
edy, we could utter no complaint, but it seems
slightly unjust that improvements are neg

We are disposed to give the writer of the
following touching appeal ito the powers
that be" hearing in columns on sub
ject that the lady petitioner deems Of vital
Importance
To the Hon. Mayor and members Of the City
Council;
WANTED-all the able bodied men compos-
ing the municipal officers of Augusta, to walk
in procession through Orchard street from
Winthrop to Green streets, in said city, any
day after 10 A. NJ, until the first week in
May, or if the spring be backward two or
three weeks longer. The condition of the side
walk on Orchard street cannot well be eX
pressed by any one word. Muddy" is alto
gether too tame and doesn't begin to cover it.
To say the least it is not credtablc to the city
TO let the walks remain from year to year in
such state, that they are nearly impossible for
six or seven weeks every spring. People cx-
pect the roads to be bad while the frost is
coming out Of the grounds, but TO our finite
Judgment there seems reason why the
sidewalks should not be something better
than dirt If resident of Orchard street
goes out in the morning before the ground
thaws, he must either remain out until it
freezes again at night, or literally ,cads to get
back again. If one could have his choice
don't you think he would prefer to ''sink or
SWIM" if either course be necessary, in some
thing better than mud!
We have hoped continually for change-a
better sidewalk and more complete drainage;
all we wanted was simple necessity, pro-
lection from sinking through to China. To
our patience and long suffering we have added
prayer and suppication to those high in au-
thority Thrice have our city fathers been APP
preached on this very subject Once petition
was signed by the ladies and presented to the

much discomfort with SO little grumbling,
they might be heard then, and that concrete
