Total Amount Raised.
Total Balance in treasury

From the second instalment to be re-
ceived from county Treasurer, Sept. 1st,
1870, approximately the aggregate sum of
S6,7OO.O0.
The next Instalment of general paving
and grading fund will probably paw in
debtedness of said fund-and nothing
more will be received this year for the
special road fund-as the road fund is al
ways all collected and paid over at the first
half yearly instalment.
The Mayor thinks that the financial
condition of the city will warrant q large
reduction of the per centsge of the levy
of this year from last, and that a total
levy of 81 mills, for city purposes, the
coming year, as against 1871 mills of 1865.
This reduction is permitted because the
objects for which the former high levies
were made have all been accomplished.
AN UNsAvoRY LOCALITY.
The Mayor properly calls the attention
of the council to the unsafe and unsightly
condition of the grounds to the rear of
the stores and shops on Market and
Main Streets, where are old, dilapidated
wooden buildings, partly TOtted down.
where has been collecting n mass of
refuse trash since the fire of IS60-where
merchants and grocers throw boxes, bar
relsj and debris of all kinds, including
the DIAL OF nShmongerS, butchers, Tege-
table dealers, &c, furnishing material for
a compound of divers smells not at all
conducive to sanitary safety.
WHAT H BRICK MAKERS HAVE DONE.
The Mayor calls attention to the dep
relations of brick makers who have eX-
cavated portions of several streets and
lots in the South side ofthe city. He re-
CARDS them as trespassers, and by
creating water-pools and frOg-ponds have
created a nuisance-a RESERVOIR of dis 1
ease and death, liable to effect the health
the whole city. The council is recon-
mendei to organize a board of health to
look after the sanitary condition of the
city.
WIDENING a PAVED STREET.
The paved portion of Main Street be-
tween The Park and river is 80 feet. while
the other portion of the street is so feet.
When teams are hitched west of the
Park that portion of the street is nearly
blocked up, and incommodes travel
It is suggested that the 80 feet
should be widened to so feet,
making it correspond with the other por-
ton of the street. The expense would
be about $4,000, requiring a levy of 81
mills

Christmas, A. d. 1870, was observed after the
fashion of observing the day in vogue among
christian people ever sine. that delightful and
ever welcome festival was instituted. During
the week previous every one had been trying to
decide the momentous question of "What shall
We give the childrenf" The little ones, too.
were perplexing their dear little heads imsgin.
ing what Santa Claus" the great dispenser of
pretty things, would Put into their respective
stockings. All the candy and toy shops and
stores, On Saturday. were full Of people selecting
presents, and war of determination was waged
on the fowl tribe generally, spsring neither age,
sex or condition. Christmas came, and the ju-
venile world was wild with excitement, as Christ
mas only can bring, and the old scenes SO often
pictured were renewed, of parents aroused from
their morning nap by the presence of the little
ones with their armfuls Of presents, mouths full
of candy and bon bons, all at once trying to ex-
press their childish gratitude to the generous
but mystical "Santa Claus"
Let US hope that there was no one in this city
who was SO poor that he or she could not glad
den some little one with the always expected,
and ever cherished, Christmas gift.
In the way Of church decorations the custom
here had never been observed except by the Epis-
copalians and Roman Catholics The former on
account of the rickety, dilapidated condition of
their edifice, which, happily, they viii soon va
cate to enter new and beautiful one, deemed it
waste Of time and labor to attempt to decorate

decorations around the altar were elaborate and

ending with the administration Of the holy
eucharist. In the other churches, AS Christmas
happened on Sunday, we understand the subject
of the incarnation was generally alluded to.
On Monday evening the children of the Sun
day school connected with the Episcopal church
had their usual Christmas festival. The Christ.
mas tree, as usual, was oadsd with presents,
which, after singing and other appropriate exer.
ci.es, were distributed among the children.
