Editors IntrIligCnCcr;
The new street lamps now being erected
in the outskirts Of the Second and Sixth
Wards are quite an addition to the con-
fort Of the citizens, after having lived, as
they have, 80 long in utter darkness. It
had grown to be a settled belief that the
normal condition of the male inhabitants
of the Independent republic Of Fishers
vile was that Of pedestrianiZing latter
night with their breCChGs in their boots
and their lanterns in their hands. They
have walked in mud foot deep, wishing,
rs they plOdded along, that they were
angels. But now they feel like living
awhile longer. The former state Ofthings
has heen done away with, and the Fish.
ersviIIians now rejoice in the vGriGCation
Of that prophecy which readcth, "Out Of
utter darkness cOmcth light" Oil lamps
have been erected from the old city line
to what is known as C0ulters corner in
the new addition.
