WoMEy K COUNSEL.
The Natrsns and Maidens Of East
Hill Working the Streets.


The walks( land drives( p of East
/ TfflI have become so intolerable that
the women are-alout to take them
in hand. In laet they have already
commenced work. They have come
to the reasonable conclusion that the
| Ltge lords of East Hill have been
plotting against them, and are neg
lecting the streets in order to keep
them at home. And one indomita-
( bic bundle of female resolution, has
actually taken 'ler horse, and pillow,
and spade, and servant, and com
mensed work. She is ia favor of mo
pent up Utica and the other mat
rons and m4idens of that vicinity
are about to second her resolution.
They are going to meet in counsel,
pass resolutions, and turn out en-
masse, with their servants and gar
den implements, and put the boast
ted enterprise Of Their, progressive
lords to the blush. The resolutions
have already been drawn, and read
thus
- Hzezeaa, The shameful neglect
of the streets of East bill, has rem
dered their condition intolerable,
and almost ilnpassible for ladies;
and
- Wzereas, Ithas been suggested to
rs that this neglect is the result of n
psemeditt ted scheme to keep US at
home, thereby depriving us of
church privileges and the pleasures
of a social interchange Of visits,
but making it absolutely dangerous
for our children to go to school, and
rendering our household duties ex-
ceedingly burdensome by the accu-
mutation of mud and dirt there
from, ~
Therefore, BE it resolved by the
matrons and maidens of East Hill in
counsel assembled, That after this
appeal to our husbands, brothers and
friends, in behalf of the streets, a
reasonable time shall be allowed
them to make the needed repairs,
and then if work has not been com
meneed, we will proceed en- aasse
with our man servants, and our maid
servants, our hoes, spades, picks,
&c, and do thewOrk ourselves.
ResOlved further, That opposition
to cur plans thus set forth will justi
fy even more desperate means, and
rather than live in this Inaccessible
neighborhcod, we would feel justi-
fed in moving cut % ct 0rnis if nee

These Tableux were exhibited at
Antoinett Halllast Saturday night
to a very good audience, and left a
good impression-the best evidence
that they we're good. These tabIeux
have been exhibited in Pulaski be-
fore, but they lost no interest on
that account. We do not hesitate
to recommend this show as fully
worth the price of admission and
as elcvating and interesting.
