The Democrat states that last Sunday
aftcnoona week, lot of idle boys loaing
around the Post Office, at Pennington, amused
themselves by dropping lighted matches into
the letter box. After doing SO they became
scared at the smoke issuing from the crevice,
ard proceeded to fll the box with water to ex-
tihguisl the fire, On examination by the
Postmaster the contents ofthe box were found
toibc LII q highly mixed up condition, two
letters being totally destroyed, and the rest
partly acharrcd and saturated. Those boys
need little attention.

CLEANING THE STREETs.-The merchants
and property owners along Union st., between
Bridge and Coryell turned out last week and
dug the mud from the street and placed it in
piles, to be.cartcd away Strangers who pass
ed through the stscct might have imagined
that q number Of mud volcanoes had broken
out, from the variety of conical piles Of that
article that were to be seen. 1t has struck us,
seeing how we'll and quickly the work was
done, that it would be a good ideA to abolish
the Office Of Street CommissioneS sad make
every property holder responsible fct keeping
the streets in order in front of his own prop
crty. This is, perhaps, imprscticable, but il
nobody o6cycd the regulation it woaldn't be
much worse than It is nov, ard the Commits
sioners salary and considerable money be-
stdcs would be saved to Taxpayers.
