supplies, etc, she wanted, taken to her in a
skiff.
We will not presume to say that the
item published in THE BULLETIN yesterday
morning caused the much needed cleaning
of Eighth street in hurry yesterday. But
that it was cleaned there is no doubt, and
the appearance Of that thoroughfare now,
and the absence of those heretofore very
unpleasant odors to be whitfield there, is
really refreshing.
