IT is interesting to observe how our
streets are cleaned, under certain cirCum-
stan ces. For instance. a cart goes to Elev-
enth street and is filled with liquid mud.
Ii goes jotting down Market street, splitting
OUT twO-thirdS of its contents before II
reaches the creek. This is OF course gath
cred up again in the course Of time, as ii Is
generously and impartially distributed.
SOME provisions should be made to pro-
vide for the deserving poor who happen in
the city. A case in point is that OF
ChristOff BOehm, q deaf and dumb German
book binder, who was here, yesterday, en-
route to Columbus, without a cent. He was
cared for by a number of Germans. The
only objection 10 some sort of legal pro
vision would be that il would be open 10
great abuse.

will hear the case this morning.
TUE First Branch very correctly sat down
upon the proposition to allow the City
Clerk to draw his warrants for pay for feed
for the tire department, upon the certih-
cate Of the chief or chairman, and Frank
Bowers is very glad OF it. The ordinance
provides how bills shall be paid. and the
feed bills, especially under present circum.
stances, should not be excepted. In fact,
a resolution cannot change an ordinance.
Ii j. true that il would be more convenient
10 countrymen to have their bills so paid,
but il might open the doors to numerous
abuses. Without doubt, any change like
that contemplated, would be a matter OF
regret hereafter.
patience" readily became an establish
ed iayOrite with the admirers of comic
opera in this city; and it only needed its
presentation atreSh at the Lyceum, by the
original Church Choir company. to renew
and heighten the interest created by the
Boston company. LyriCally the company
is entirely competent for such works; the
voices being of good timbre and culture,
and the singing, especially the choral parts
being tirSt-rate. Less might naturally be
expected of a choir company in dramatic
than in a musical way, yet in both respects
the requirements were satisfactorily met
last night; in some features admirably met,
and the general result was success that
means big houses for the next two weeks.
There were, of course the usual first night
imperfectionS: but the talent is there, aud

Dwight's, which is but a few doors re-

windows first, and while attempting to pry
the door open Mr.. Dwight appeared on the
scene, and they left in a hurry. After
about an hour had elapsed they entered
Mr.. McLaughlin's back yard, and after sew.
cral unsuccessful attempts they left, as the
dogs IN the nelShOOrhOOu became rOuSeu
and were doing their level best TO attract
the attention of the people living in the
houses. The last attempt gave the burglars
courage, rs nobody was awakened. They
tried Mr.. Bauning'S house on Alley {, and
the lower sash OF the kitchen window was
