Sewers.
There is considerable opposition on the
part of many of our citizens to the plac-
ing of the proposed sewer along Bridge
street, for the reason that it is to be con-
nected with water closets and will empty
into an open sewer at Main street, from
whence the offensive matter will be car
ried to Swans Greek.
Sewers properly constructed would be
great benefit to our city, but lily con-
structed and connected sewers would
prove great curse. They should be
constructed after general system, de-
vised by a competent sewage engineer
and have no outlets for gas or offensive
odors. Such system of sewers would
improve the health of our people and,
properly constructed, would not cost the
city over twenty thousand dollars.

From Rev. Mr.. A. NJ. Jelly, editor of

Windsor College, and Pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, New Windsor, Mary
land, Dec. 18th, 1881 : " The entertain
ment at New Windsor College by DR.. ].
Jay Villers, was the happiest exhibition
of character ever witnessed in New
Windsor. 1t has been truly said tina. DR..
Villers is the " Master Mimic of the Age"
His facial expression is simply marvellous.
His audience was alternately melted to
sympathetic tenderness or transported to
the mountain top of joy. We have been
in the habit of listening to lectures and
other entertainments for quarter of a
century, but never before saw an entire
audience so thoroughly delighted. We
advise every one who can, to embrace the
first opportunity to see and hear the great
Humorist of America
DIR. Villers will give an entertainment
for the benefit of Maj. G. A. Angel Post,

Some burglar entered the house of
Martin LAWN, at the foot of Coryell st.,
near the school house steps, in this city,
last Saturday night about 10 o'clock,
through back window, and stole from
the room of John Kilroy, some $7s7.
This money belonged to Mr. K, an old
gentleman between 8S and 70 years of
age, and was the savings of a life time.
1t was hidden away--a part of it in a
piece of muslin, some in child's dress,
and some of it in the pocket of pair of
pantaloons. These articles were kept in
bureau, and the thief appeared to know
just where to look for the pluuder. Mr..
Kilroy is nearly Frustrated by his.loss
He had the money in bank some time, but
when be heard of the difficu tiles with
the Newark Bank, he drew it out Of the
bank and hid it away in his room. There
is no clue to the thief. He must have
done his work very quietly, as Mother
Mr.. X. nor the other inmates of the house
were awakened.

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
suit the time tables Of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to Insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
cars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
K.,ssss, Nebraska, Texas Minnesota.
u.c. No other line can offer such advan-
tages as the Baltimore and Uhio.-I!s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to the saving of much Of both as we'll as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chsse tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving a letter from one of the B. & o.
Agents. A letter addressed to w. L.
