Is there not an undue amount Of care
lessness and neglect of the condition Of
our business streets? There is certainly,
lar too much rubbish scattered and piled
about our prominent streets, to comport
with any degree of order and tidiness.
We have in mind as we'll as in sight, such
things as an old stone pipe, refuse and
broken brick and mortar, heaps of ashes
the accumulations of the entire winter.

tered as they might be, perhaps. without
serious objections to the road bed, and va
rious other matters more or less offensive
to tidiness and taste. Have we not reach
ed stage in village life, when some mu-
nicipal regulation is called for restraining
such nuisanees? Especially should the
throwing of loose paper into the streets tc
be blown about anG frightening horses, tc
the danger of life and limb, as well as the
destruction of property be stopped
Conscript fathers is this hint not worthy

which fill the papers all along his line of

The Bones of a NIastOdOn.

The bones Of mastOdon Of more than
usual size, were found on Wednesday last,
in AlStinburg, two or three feet below the
surface, on the farm of B. Seeley, Esq,
while ditching. They consisted Of parts
of ribs, vertebre and head. The ground
where it was found is soft and marshy, and
part of the fossils were imbedded in blue
clay, and they we're found to be in better
state Of preservation than the others.
Our informant-Mr. Jas. L. Smith, says it
was the opinion that most Of the frame
would be secured. The discovery created
considerable excitement, and not less than
$50 persons were on the ground on
