Messrs. Editors,-Do you know whether
it is the duty of any of the city officers or
employees to remove dead animals from the
streets? If it is. it itappears somewhat strange
that dead cat should be permitted to remain
four or five days in Franklin street near
Fifth without being disturbed. The police.
/ presume, are not in the habit of visiting
that locality, or the property in that neigh
borhood may be exempt from taxation; and
il so, its owners and occupants may not be
entitled to attention from the police. y.

FA1R.-The ladies of the Union Station
church congregation are working like bea-
yers to liquidate the debt yet due on the
handsome little parsonage recently erected
for the use of their minister. The proceeds
of the fair now in progress are to be devoted
to that end, and so far the ladies have been
well patropized. The room is very hand
soneiy and tastefully decorated, and the yarl-
ous articles on exhibition are worthy OF at
tention, while all the deicacies and nick
macs can be found in great profusion.
