OUR STREETS.

Whatever may be said of the past man
agsmenI Of our streets, We have strong
indications that the cleaning, repairing
|. and improvement of the streets and
alleys of the city will hereafter be per-
formed with vigor, discretion and
economy. The present council com
mittss on streets and alleys is composed
of intelligent gentlemen who haveapride
in their work. They nave already spent
number of days carefully examining
the condition of our thorough!sres, meas
uring and estimating fer improvements,
snd gathering all neediul data upon
which to predicate their recommends
tions to Council, required by the amend
ed charter. This committee first pro.
poses to clean the streets BY contract,
instead Of by day labor under the super
vision OF the Street Commissioner, rs
heretofore. The contractor will be re-
quired TO scrape ali paved streets and
alleys. and to clean all uupaved ones, a
stipulated number OF times each mouth.
1t will thus become the interest Of the
contractor to see that the ordinance is
enforced against throwing ashes ard
ether filth upon the streets aud against
making the back alleys miasma.ic, its-
tering heaps of slops and manure. So
much will probably be gained in clean
illness and healthfulness, and 10 doubt
something in economy.
The committee recommend the build
ing of large brick sewer down Twelfth
street from Chapline, and connecting it
with ample drains from both East
Wheeling and the north run
ming at the base Of the bill
so as to gather in all OF the washlngs
from the hills and convey them directly
to the river. This improvement will
probably cost $4,000 and will save as
much IN two years time. II is the testi-
monJ OF both Mr.. WnYTE and Mr..
LEoNHART, the present and former
Street Commissioners, that every food
of any mag itude required the removal
of from ore hundred to three hundred
cart loads of debris brought down within
this territory by the rush OF waters, all OF
which would be- carried on TO the river
BY this improvement.
The committee recommend one main
sewer on the Island, which is necessary
to the health and we'll being of the in
hsblants of that important section of the
city.
They have, also, made liberal estimates
for putting down crossings, resetting de-
fec,lve curbs and placing new ones,
paving cutters and improving street.
beds. Altogether, their estimates foot
up the handsome figure of $4,000 in
round mum bers; but it is consoling re.
Election that the money is to be well ex-
pended in Improvements OF permanence
and value.

TOLEDO, May 1.-The Blade publishes

In all wheat districts the prospect Is un-

There WAS little, its-y, winter killing.
Preparations are making everywhere
for the planting OF an uncommonly y
large acreage OF corn. The

There does not seem to be as..general a

pected, aud the acreage will be small.
The meadows everywhere look we'll, and

THE SHINDLEY FAMILY.

About forty-three years ago, raga-
muffin, freckled face urchin, of 15 years,
was seated on a gate-post opposite his
paternal hovel, to see the 'sYork stage
go by. Usually when the mail reached
the top Of the little @rise" on which
Sam shindley's cabin stood, the driver
took his long tin horn from the top Of
the coach, and played long and loud
stirring charge, to let the old postmas-
ter Of a village in sight under the hill
know that he was. coming.
On the morning of our story, Sam
Shindley's eldest boy, Dick, or "Dick-
ems" as he was better known in the
neighborhood, had cows horn in his
hand and, as the stage-coachman
sounded his usual alarm, Dick com

But Dick only peered his freczle
vtiissage round the trunks, and touched
the side Of his nose, in the most impu-
dent manner conceivable by a virtuous
man. Dick had his ride down the
long hill, and sprang off about twenty
yards before the coach drew up at the
postofice. @
Z The passenger who had been on the
box, alighted while the mail was chang

ANOTHER DISTRESSED NoBLEMAN.
A tramp came along the other day,
says the Bridgeport Standard, and CON
fded to the lpressible better half ola
farmer on s,le road that he was a
Count who was travelling through the
country in this humble way seeking a
true heart which he might win and
take back with him to share in the
revenues ofhis immense estatesin Italy.
He begged that she wouldn't mention
the fact, as it might interfere with his
cherished plan Of being loved for him
self alone. She promised not to say.a
word about it, and invited the Count
to stop with them all night, giving him
the best bed in the house and the seat
nearest the beefsteak at the supper
table. The meal was quite revela-
ton to her in the matter Of the table
habits of the nobility Of Europe, but
the discovery she made in the morning
was still a greater eye-opener. His
Lordship had departed in the small
hours, taking with him, probably as
cherished souvenirs, the larger portion
of the bed linen, the farmers best
boots, an old horse pistol, and half a
ham. He left dirty, scrawling, mis-
spelled note, stating that he must away,
as his passionate longings for the true
heart of which he was ever in search
would not let him rest until they were
united. The farmer loaded his shot
gun, took the road, and was gone two
days, but didn't find the Count. He
must have gone back to his estates in
Italy.

CALCULATIONS OF CRnfEs.-The
wisdom of many people and of all ages
ordains, for the punishment Of the
same act, various degrees Of severity,
according to the influence of .circum-
stances or the guilt of the offenders.
True, homicide may be only killing by
misadventure, as the case may be. It
is, therefore, strictly on principle that
the act Of converting to ones own use
the money Of another exhibits, in the
light Of our lofty civilization, various
graduations of guilt, which, after the
manner of criminal statutes, the amount
ofthe spoilation being in this case the
principal criterion. Thus:
Taking s1,OOO,OOO is called a case
of genius.
Taking 100000 a case of shortage.
Taking $4,000 a case of litigation.
Taking $25, coo case Of insolvency.
Taking $4,000 a case of irregular
ity.
Taking $4,000 case Of defalcatiOn.
Taking $1,000 case of corruption.
Taking $500 a case of embezzlement.
Taking 800 a case of dishonesty.
Taking $50 a case of thievery.
Taking $25 a case ftotal depravity.
Taking one ham case of war on
society.
