on Fifth street, called for another fellow, a
white man of about his own level in re-
spectabillty who had taken lodgings there,
and when the white man came to the door,
opened fire upon him, shooting him once in
tho left breast, But it seems
that the weapon was small one or

 Excellent Sermon by Rev. Dr. Newman
 Smyth Yestsrday AfternOOn-GOOd Ad.
 vice for Young People.
 Dr. Newman Smyth took for the text of his discourse yesterday afternoon the words found in the seventeeth verse of the fifth chapter of Matthew, t'I am not come to de-
 stroy but to fulfill" The sermon contained
 advice especially for the young which was of the greatest importance. The speaker all
 luded to the state of wavering and doubt that
 so many find themselves in, swayed from one
 standpoint to another by conflicting emo
 tions, now their better nature gaining the
 mastery, now their worse. They should heed
 Christ's words, ''I am come not to destroy
 but to fulfill"
 There are certain things which we all love
 which are fulfilled only in true Christian
 character. Many people, for instance. pro
 fess to have @ great love of nature. But It
 is only as faith becomes the interpreter of nature that one really appreciates 1t. Nature is only the expression of Gods thoughts, and unless your heart is pure you cannot see God or know nature. Thus the Christians enjoyment of nature is of g higher quality than the man who is not Christian. To the one nature is prophetic, symbolic, to the other only nature. Other people love free dom. They say they WAnb flowing freely into the present. But none but the child of God can really enjoy the 1 present, for he only is sure that God has for given his past and will care for his fu- ture Faith alone knows how to be content with whatever state it is in. The l unregenerated are slaves to falsehood and to
 self.
 Certain qualities that we all wish to possess l are found generally only among Christians. l Saintly purity, gentleness of heart and man. ner, cultivated gentlemanliness and other es l timable qualities have been cultivated by | Christianity. Power to restore nature be longs to the Christian. Perfect happiness 1 would be realized at any moment if we could l overtake one of our own ideals.
 l Many wish to become strong to overcome edversities, to be heroic. This may be &C.,
 compIished in two ways, by restraining the
 heart and by losing self in devotion and obedience. Some bury their past. Many 1 there are who have crushed out all ten der l susceptibiIities scared every instinct capable 1 of thrilling into enthusiasm, burned out of l their hearts all love of purity, plupging into | business or pleasure.
 There are other requirements of our na- | lure that can be fulfilled only in Christian character, and there are wants that can be
 satisfied only by God. Without him life is 8
 daily classification; with him it is grow ! ing satisfaction. There are beautiful traits | of character in young people that should be I cultivated If they are not we shall find that | conscience is an undying witness against us.

Board of Public Works.

The Cleaning of Streets by Contract to be
 Continued Widening of st. Roman
 Street Discussed.
 There was special meeting of the Board of Public Works on Saturday night at which Mayor Lewis presided. One of the purposes of the meeting was to consider a new street cleaning contract, the present one expiring on the 1st of December.
 In view of this fact Mr. Sargent offered the following:
 Voted, That the specifications for street repairing or street cleaning be the same as the present year, with the following specif- cations to wit:
 The following streets shall be deeply blow !! ed and top surface turned under and we'll turnpiksd or rounded up to the satisfaction of the superintendent of streets: Wallace | from Grand to Water streets, Hamilton from ! Grand to Chapel, Franklin from Grand to ! Water, Greene from Academy to East Acad- ! emy from Chapel to Greene, to be com. | pleted to the satisfaction of the superin , tendent of streets before the first day in ! June, 1884, unless otherwise ordered de- 1 lsyed by the Board of Public Works and if
 so ordered delayed, to be completed when or
 dered to be completed. Also the gutters in i Chapel from Temple toEOIive streets be
 cleaned four times per week, at the time ! when they may be directed by the superin-
 tendent of streets, and the gutters in State
 from Elm to Water street shall be cleaned i three times per week, in the time as directed | by the superintendent of streets MT. Holcomb expressed surprise and dis. satisfaction at the vote being offered and con.
 sidered except by a full Board. Mir. Sargent said the old contract would
 expire in week and it was therefore neess.
