pair were on the point of crossing Fifth
street, when a lady, walking in front, stopped
suddenly, and something went rip !" Her
costly silk dress, short as 1t was, had been
caught by All ambitious nail, and
nearly the whole breadth was torn
out. Snow, you look at dot" cried
the sympathizing German, ''By shimminy,
that is in-hum-in, and, by Chorge, der is
Schmid's little girl NIT knee pan all pursted
NIT a spike sthickin up and At that
instant The old gentleman's foot colided with
a freshly-risen nail, and he went reeling to
the ground, dragging his newspaper friend
with him, whom he wildly grappled as he
fell. IF there Is one nuisance greater
than another in this city, it is the unpar
donable neglect of property-owners regard
ing the uprisen nails in the sidewalks Ga
all sides they need attention. There is not
an old wooden walk in the city where, lust
now, one is not liable to accident from these
miserable evidences of ]aziness and want Of
common decency. The subject demands the
attention OF the Trustees. and though SEEM
IL ely small thing, it is iii fac. serious mat
ter as severe injury and damage has, as
already recorded, occurred for want of a few
sturdy blows on every walk by hammer en-
gineered by thoughtful property-owner,
The precaution and labor suggested will not
increase taxes farthing, while the neglect
may. Since the foregoing was written in
formation came to hand of q severe accident
to a lady last evening in the southern part Of
the city consequent upon being thrown down
by protruding sidewalk spike.
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE COUNTY JAIL.-A
visit to the County Jail will convince the
most fastidious observer that that institution
never presented more acceptable appear
ance nor was in better sanitary condition
than at the present time. 1t has undergone
3 most thorough renovation, including the
Jail ward and outside buildings, with paint
and whitewash neatly applied, and the work
has all been accomplished with prison labor,
under the personal supervision OF Jailer
Newbert, and without any expense to the
county except for materials. Mr. Nawbert Is
also preparing place for dining-room IN
derneath the wash aud cook rooms, at the
west end OF the jail yard, where be has had
excavation made so as to make the basement
between seven and eight feet high. The tG-
BILE for the prisoners IS at present set IN the
Jail yard and the lew room for this purpose,
when finished, will add greatly to the com
pleteuess and convenience OF the culinary
department, besides adding another attrac-
ton to the place for such as are granted
county permits for season.

preparation. A much larger force, he states,
would be employed il the city funds at the
disposal Of Tie Board OF Trustees would per
