Rlockading the Streets.

saw a card in the VIRGINIAN OF last
week, calling attention of our city fathers
to the blockaded condition of our streets,
and asking the pertinent question, whether
there is any ordinance prohibiting merchants
and others from obstructing the side walk?
| heartily sympathize with "a. 9. s." and
would respectfully cali attention OF the city
fathers, to the case of Norfolk city vs..
Chamberlain, xxx Grattan, page 534.
where it was held.
1st. Streets in city or town, though gen
orally subjected to the supervision and con-
troll of the municipality, are public highways
the use whereof is for the public at large.
End. The council Of Norfolk had no au-
thority to grant permission to G. to occupy
any portion of the public highways.
Bird. The council OF N having the general
control over the streets and power to abate
nuisances thereon aud remove obstacles
therefrom, the order ior the removal OF the
steps of C.'s buildin.. was within their law
full authority.
From this case would infer that although
the boxes and barrels and packages that
block our narrow ways are claimed to be
there under color Of right, by reason OF
the grant from the council of permission,
still the streets beng highways the coucll
cannot give authority to block them and can
only exercise police authority over them TO
keep them free. Y.

BALTIMORE CATTLE MARKET Dece mber Goth, 1873
BEEF CATTLE-There WIS fair mum Der OF good
cattle on the market to-day, but the average
quality was not as good as it was last week, the
tops not comparing with those then offered. Pri-
ces according to quality, were full sc hlgher
than last week, but the market was generally
slow, becoming exceedingly aull before the close.
and continuing so the end number were lett
over unsold and it is likely some of these will be
reshipped East at owners risk. We quote at 2 %
ass 62N per 100 lbs few selling at either extreme.
Prices this week for Beef Cattle ranged as fol-
lows Best Beeves at l2a$5 90; that generally ra'
ted first quality 12as5 II; medium or good falr
quality 12aS4 IL; ordinary thln Steers, oxen ana
cows 50a$3 co. general average OF me market inns
week; extreme range OF prices 5oas5 ~ MOST
OF the sales were from 90 to So copper 100 lbs.
SwINE.-The receipts are quite light, lar below
the numbers last week, and not one half rs many
as one year ago. Under the influence OF the very
limited number OF offerings prices have made a
large advance and trade is active in consequence
nearly, ifnot quite all the offerings having been
disposed of. Prices range from 5si to 7cents,
most sales being made at 6Aa6s4 cents per pound
net. The quality generally is inferior to that Of
last week. few dealers reporting their stock quite
as good as it was then. Arrivals this week 23io
head.
SHEEP.-The receipts continue light, but in ex-
cess of last week by several hundred. The de-
mand has been sufficient to absorb them all al
all early hour of the proceedings, there being q
fair demand for Philadelphia. The quality is not
as good as last week. We quote butcher sheep
4a5M cents and lambs 4Aa5H cents per ID gross.
Arrivals this week 1894 head.

Our Parnassus Letter.

CHRISTINA IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL
&C., sc.
Over three hundred presents were distrib.
uted from the Christmas Sunday School
Tree at Parnassus. At Moscow, the Sunday
School realized handsome sum, which
learn will be devoted to the Sunday School
library. The superintendent OF this school
il a jealous member o. the Parnassus
Church, bat was appointed to superintend
and build up tho Sunday School at this point
and, from the average attendance and inter-
est manifested, take it he was the rlght
man in the right place, and it is but justice
to the cause aud no stretch OF encomlum
when ask that the next Conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, which
will soon commence, vote a unanimous voice
of thanks to the great Sunday ochooi work

Among the many visitors that have been
ruralizing in our midst during the holidays,

people, and has fallen into the seethlng
cauldron of politics that will forever destroy
its once proud claim OF rejecting the sentl.
menIs Of the great ''Darry of the West"
Among the many Christmas eve presents
that was launched upon our community,
know of none that was more generally en-
loved than the arrival Of Dir Joseph Ruoush,
who has just returned from the far West,
still tottering and feeble from the effects OF
a severe attack of malarial fever. 1t is to be
hoped that his congenal Virginia home viii
fully restore his health, and that he will re-
alize the fact that in Virginia there is time,
place and opportunity for all the energies
and industries that can be applied. There
are. Messrs. Editors, as you have so faithful.
Iy and zealously put forward, oceans OF
wealth in our beautiful Virginia, if our peo-
pie would only realize the fact. That I'm
afraid, will only be developed through the
shrewdness and cunning of the wide,awake
"Jonathan.' Aud right here let me yay
the Virginan an humble and feebly express
ed compliment, that throughout the din OF
party warfare it has never ceased to hold up
the resources Of Virginia, land when all other
State papers were filled with the laudations
of pet candidates and other local whms and
caprices, the VIRGINIAN has kept at its mast
head the untold riches and mines OF wealth
that lie undeveloped and unth0ught OF.
But am depressing and must stop. In
future communication l will give you some
experiments made in fertilizing and sheep
culture, that trust viii prove interesting to
some one of the many thousand readers OF
the true friend of Virginia, the VIRGINIAN.

CITY COUNCIL.-A meeting of the council
was held Tuesday night.at which all members
were present, except Mr.. Burke, to consider
reports of the water committee and to re-
ceive a communication from the C. &c o.
Railway Co. The committee on water pre-
sented a statement from the Superintendent
in regard to water motors, recommending
that where ever motor Is used, a water
metre be attached, and the water be paid for
by measurement. In the report the super-
intendent stated that the cost of putting the,
water into the reservoir Appropriated 10 cts.
per thousand gallons. The committee en-
dorsed the recommendation of the Superin-
tendent, and fixed the price of water used in
motors at 10 cents per thousand gallons.
That portion of water ordinance recently
adopted requiring self-closing valves to
water closets, was temporarily suspended.
The communication of the C. & o. Rail-
way represented that tax of $3.50, has been
imposed on that Co. for the lille of railway
extending through Stanton. The company
alleged that it can successfully resist the
right of the city to impose this tax upon its
property, but being DESTROYS to avoid litiga-.
ton, will not contest the matter ifthe tax be
reduced and made the same as the state tax
which is on valuation of $3.50 per mile.
The communication was referred to the fl
nance committee, who will make a report
thereon by next meeting.

mere details are interviewer with pleasant
ideas and happy illustrations, so that the in
struction conveyed, comes to us in the garb
OF entertainment, and is welcome, not only
for the knowledge it imparts, but also for
the present pleasure it affords. To those
who will read these sketches carefully, we
can safely promise real benefit for they are

of the cid world, giving an insight into their
modes of life, pleasures, tolls and ambitions.
We advise those who are not already SUBJ
scribers, to send In their names at once and
secure the entire series. When ompleted,
it will be a book we'll worth the price of the
paper for year.

the Episcopal Church. Mr.. Hullihen preach
ed, and on Sunday night took occasion to
remind the members of his congregation of
the great improperly of New Years. enter
tainments, where intoxicating drinks were
set out, and disapproved of such indulgence
on the part of members of the church in very
decided terms. He hoped that no member
OF his congregation would longer give en-
couragement to such things. Christmas day,
the Sunday School children had grand fes-
tival. At the Lutheran Church the Usual
Christmas service was held by the pastor,
and at the children's festival the 'sjugsn
were broken, and an amount reaching to
over 1925 realized. This, however, is not
the entire contribution, as some of the
'.jugs" have not yet been returned.
At the Baptist Sunday School, the annual
festival was one of the most successfully
gotten up and handsomely managed of the
many happy Christmas feasts for which this
school has been SO long noted. Handsome
gifts were distributed, and every child of the
fold was remembered and made glad.
The Catholic Fair, held in the City Hall,
was grand success, and everything passed
off pleasantly. The voting for the various
prizes was spirited, and in every particular
the affair was enjoyable. 1t is still in full
blast, and will well repay those who attend.
Christmas night a hop was given at Mo-
Fart Hall. and the junior members Of society
Joined in ball at 'AKalorama," the night
following.
Taken altogether, the Christmas of 1879
will long be remembered by the citizens of
Staunton, as season of pleasure and happi-
ness.
