For THE RECoRI
CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

Much has appeared in our city papers
in regard to the improvements of the
streets, sewerage, &C., all indicating
that there is necessity for making be-
ginning of the needed work for the city.
Many ideas are crudely promulgated,
and methods and plans suggested, which
for want of precise information on the
subject, the offered advice and plans are
practically useless.
"An act to authorize cities to con-
struct sewers and drains, and to provide
for the payment of the cost thereof, "
approved March 9Th, 1882, gives very
ample powers to cities to carry out q
liberal and judicious system of Sewerage
and drainage, and under this law the
city of Trenton, which stands greatly in
need of sewerage and drainage, EN-
ployed Rudolph Herring, an engineer of
high repute and practical knowledge, to
examine into oil the circumstances prop
erly connected with the subject and
make report.
That report has been made. with maps
and profles, and estimated cost of the
work, and is in print and in the hands Of
those who care to take interest in the
movement. The writer having been ia
vored with copy of the report, although
not fully comprehending all the details
and estimated cost, yet must admit that
it conveys so clear view Of the whole
subject, with the intiicacies and diff
culties as we'll as cost, as to convince
any one that only an engineer OF educa-
tion and experience should be intrusted
with such an undertaking.
This city is not SO large as Trenton,
it is true, yet that is no reason why the
Inhabitants should suffer for want of q
proper plan of sewerage, when otherwise
large expenditure Of money would be
made without accomplishing beneficial
and perfect sanitary advantages.
This matter belongs to the citizens
and they are the ones to urge its early
accomplishment. No Council will be
found willing to urge such an undertake
ing without the compelling force of pub
lie opinion we'll dem onstrated.

"My dear, what would I give to have
your hair ?" is often said by mddle-aged
ladies' to young ones. Madam, you may
have just such hair. Parker's Hair Bal
sam will give it to you. It will stop your
hair from falling off, restore the original
color and make it long, thick, soft and
glossy. You need not stand helplessly
envying the girls. The Balsam is not
oily, not dye, but is an elegant dressing,
and is especially recommended for its
cleanliness and purity. May 81.

AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard Of its fall
ure to effect a radical cure. { =
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state Of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of tho skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities Of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

penalty of $50 fine and ten days in jail,
but no attempt has ever been made to
punish those who fail to do 1t, perhaps
because there are not jails enough.

Almost every person has some form of
scrofulous poison latent in his veins.
When this develops in scrofulous sores,
ulcers, or eruptions, or takes the form of
rheumatism, or organic diseases, the
suffering that ensues is terrible beyond
description. Hence the gratitude of those
who discover, as thousands yearly do,
that Ayers Sarsaparila will thoroughly
eradicate this evil from the system.
