MANY of our citizens, who on las,
Tuesday morning, arose to find them
selves practically blockaded within their
own domiciles by the heavy fall of snow,
have reason to be grateful to Street Com,
missioner Backus for his efficient and
successful efforts to make the ways plain
with his horse and snow pillow. He is all
the more entitled to thanks for this serv-
ice by reason of the fact that it was en-.
tirely gratuitous, no provision beng made
by the city authorities for his compensa.
ton for work of this kind Mr.. Rackus
is faithful and efficient officer, and the
generally excellent condition of our

The SUFFERING PooR.-We very much
doubt if many Of our citizens who are
living in comfort and plenty, appreciate
the amount OF suffering there is among US
this winter. Those who have taken
pains to inform themselves report great
er number OF families actually suffering
for the means to live, and destitute OF
clothing suitable for the weather, than
ever before. There is imperative call for
their composition to do something to re-
lieve this wretchcdness. We shall be
wanting in the common instincts of hui
manly if we do not make an effort in this
direction and make it soon. The ladies,
ever forward in all good works, have al
ready taken the initiatiye, formed u
acorking association, and are doing all
they can. The want and misery, howev
or, which is constantly coming to their
knowledge is almost appalling, and they
appeal to the general public for assistance.
They ask for liberal contributions to pur-
chase material to be manufactured into
clothing for families, many of whom have
scarcely enough to cover their nakedness.
Next Tuesday evening they have socia-
BILE ut Firemen's Hall for this purpose.
In their behalf, and in behalf of the OBJ.
jects of their benevolcnce, we ask that
there be a large attendance and generous
lberality Remember, "He that givcth
to the poor Iendeth to the Lord"

THE Vindicdtor says that W. A Jones,
our boss hog buyer, has had little Gift
Guilty with Thos. Shannon, of Jesup, who,
as the Vindicat0r puts 1t, "gets pretty
enthusiastic when he is buying hogs"
the result of which, was, that Jones had
Shannon arrested, and proposes to have
him bound oyer to keep the peace before
Esq. Gillett, to-day. 1t is certainly agree
able to hear that the hog market is active
and buyers enthusiastic, but we hope our
friends will give vent to their enthusiasm
in some other way than putting "a head"
on each other Let US have peace.
P. S.-The trial of the case came off
yesterday, instead of to day, and the re-
suit was that Tommy was placed under
5000 bonds to preserve the peace toward
Jones. AS hogs are not active now, and
the bottom dropped out Of the market
this week, it is presumed that he will
prudcntly deny himself the luxury of
punching Jones. Besides, it might not
prove so great luxury as he supposes.
