We recommend the city ordinances particu-
larry that portion of them relating to the re-
moval Of snow and ice from sidewalks, as very
instructive reading at this season, and deserv-
mr. the careful attention of every citizen. The
condition of the sidewalks yesterday and the
day before was such as to make walking tire
some, and in some places dangerous. Persons
should not wait for the annual warning of the
city marshal before clearing their sidewalks, as
the ordinance and penalty are liable to be en-.
forced at any time when there is neglect in this
regard.
The musical announcement made on Satur-
day that MIR. Ben. I. Hammond, who has re-
Gently returned from his studies in Italy, would
give concert at Washburn hall next Saturday
evening, has awakened much interest among his
many friends. Mr.. Hammond is to have on
this occasion the assistance of Mr.. Benz. D. AL
len, of this city, the Mendelssohn quintette club
of Boston, and Mrs. }. w. Weston. 1t will be
seen at once that this concert will be unusually
choice in character, and the programme cannot
fail to be admirable with such artists to plan
and perform. Although good concerts are not
patronized just at this time with great liberali-
ty, incline to the opinion that Mr. Hammond's
viii prove a notable exception to the rule.
