Shall we have good sidewalks, o

Shall We have good side walks, or,
good streets 7-this is the question
tina, 10 discussed JUS. now by tue peo'
ple of Winchester. 1t appears that
there is not sufficient revenue from
municipal taxation to pay for making
b,th, and much argument is used as to
which necessity we can the more easily
dispense with. Some argue that we
should gravel the middle Of the streets
thoroughly and force the owners OF
property to fix up the side walks IN
front of said property. Whether our
municipal charter pretends to confer
such power We are not prepared 10
saw, hut if it does, We believs it would
not be sustained in the Courts. We
cannot see how q peraon, after giving
quay the ground in front Of bis land,
can he made TO keep up a sidewalk.
For instance: We remember. several
years since, of putting down \ nice
brick pavement in front Of u store
house OF ours upon the Square. We
did so by order Of the Town Consta-
hle. And yet tue pavement belonged
to the public as much as it did to US.
W. had no power to drive a person
from it, or prevent its use by psdes'
TRANS, aud it certainly follows that it
WAS unjust and illegal 10 make one
person pay for something Intended for
public use. 1t may he that in most OF
our cities pavemcnts are kept in order
by the owners of property along side
such psvements. IT. is to their interest
TO do so. Good sidewalks enhance the
value OF their buildings snd invite
trade. But here in Winchester, where
buildings IRE quite scattered, We think
the only practicable aud proper plan Is
for the Corporate authorities to make
good sidewalks and pay Tor the same
out of revenue derived from taxation.
Especially in Winchester do we need
good sidewalks. There IRE many stu
dents-msle and female-in our town
and they board at many houses. Lei
us give them good sidewalks Many
Of our heaviest taxpayers have u
walk from their residences to their
places Of business on or near the
Sq,are. They own no horses-no We
hiclrs. And il they did, it would be
much trouble for .hem to have TO ride
hack aud forth. Persons coming IRON
the country generally ride, aud surely
it matters moi with them az to the con
dition of the streets. But, in this con
necliou We would urge thst our Boar
put the Public Square in splendid con
dition. Let it be we'll drained and
heavily gruveled, 60 that country PEG
pie and all others or public days VII
not have to wade in mud and water tl
attend to their business, which general
ly is connected with the officers in GU
Courthouse.
So, after hearing both sides OF TIT
question discussed. and thinking earn
estIy upon the matter, we would urg'
npon our corporate authorities the ne
cessity first, Of good sidewalks, n
Public Square free from filth and mud
and, second, good streets. The fact is
We think our citizens ought to vote

The English income official occasionally
displays a singulariy American degree OF
enterprise and ingenuity. One day, not
long since, at Plymouth, hutcher was ac-
costed in his stall by stranger, who he
naturally conceived was an intending pur-
chuser. The gentleman appeared to show
i great interest i'll the butchers trade, and
,elicited from him how many beasts and
Sheep he killed, and What extent of custom
lie had. The honest butcher expatiatrd at
some length to his new friend Oh his posi-
ton and prospects. Aiseran interval OF
some days the worthy butcher received an
official intimatlon from tie inconietax sun
yeyor calling on him to pay an immense
assessment. When introduced to the sane.
tum of the man in Office he discovered to
ais horror that he stood before his caniid
aud ,!isinterested friend and well wisher.

against the tremendous Increase i'll has as-
,essment, but WAS quickly told that it was
upon his own representation that the as
.essment was made.

"Well," said the surveyor, "you told me
you killed five fat BEATS weekly, and nade
e3 los. on each. You Gald that you sold
twenty-five sheep, making II los. OIL
each. Do you forget your statement ol
your gain in lamb and veal?"
"Oh, thought you wanted to buy my
