lHOROCGHFARES.-Ou attention Ia
been called to the fact that the residents
Of the upper part oil McCannon street
have absolutely no outlet to the main
street Of the town. without making de-
tour of several blocks. except by passing
through the lot between Mahoney &
O'Toole's store and the Marysville House.
This lot is % feet front, and extends
from Main to McCannon street. 1t be-
longs to Mr.. c. G. French, who is de-
sirous of building on it. but has hitheNo
refrained, at the solicitation Of some of the
householders on McCannon street. who
are anxious to have it declared public
thoroughfare by the County Commits
sioners, and its value appraised and paid
for by the county. Mr.. French values
the lot at 81, 500, and in compliance with>
the request of the parties, has laid the mat
ter before the Commissioners, from whom
the proposal met with decided negative. ;
Under these circumstances Mr.. French,
in justice to himself, has no alternative
but to proceed with the erection of his
proposed building, unless the property
holders on McCannon street subscribe
the necessary amount among themselves,
purchase the lot, and then have the same
declared public highway. We would
suggest that the parties interested take
immediate action in the matter,

good purpose--to pay the expense of
burying the dead. The management,
however, has not relied entirely on the
merits Of the purpose for which the
entertainment is to be given. for the pro-
gramme is a first rate one. "A Cup of
Tea" and "All that Glitters is not Gold"
are to be presented. Besides these plays,
we are to hear reeited The Bridge of
Signs, The Blue and the Gray" and

is well read-and we have.seasons to be-
lieve it will be- nothing can be more
beautiful.

AR FOR THE PRIsoNERs.-A fence ten
feet high, inclosing an area thirty five
feet wide and ninety feet in length, is
