10 VILLAGE SUBsCRIBERs.-Owing to a
change in our village carrier, few patrons
b ave not received the FREEMAN the last two
weeks. We this week send our former
carrier, and if hereafter any one fails Of
having the paper left, they will do us q
favor to leave notice at the counting room,
and the neglect will be remedled,
There has been some growling ever the
bad condition of the streets and sidewalks
for the past few weeks, but the season and
the storms have been such as to severely
test the g breaking-out - energy and quality
Of the Commissioner. The " narrow paths, :"
always difficult to follow, have in many in
stances taken the place of sidewalks, aud
swinging sleigh after the pattern of the
newly invented cabin Cor ocean steamers will
soon be needed to prevent sea-sickness on the
streets if the cdh0OtS continue to thicSen and
deepen The commissioner holds the
good old Bible doctrine Of every man
building over against his own house, even
after he has rendered unto Caesar" to do it
for him, which is ali very well SO far as it
goes, but we respectfully submit whether it
goes to the middle Of the street-t0 the curb
stone, or where? As men with axes and
shOves have been seen in the neighborhoo
Of some of these ''ptch holes" we do not
doubt that cur ways will soon be made
smoother, and the commissioner will relieve
himself of any responsibility for the viola
ton of good English.
