Tie beauty Of all towns is the clean
illness and neatness of its streets, and
freedom from store-boxes, barrels, and
other rubbish on the sidewalks. Now,
what We want to call the attention OF
our city authorities to, is, the way in
which the pavements on Main street is
blOckaded from one end to the other,
with boxes, barrels, lumber, brick, coal,
and so on, to the great Inconvenience oil
pedestrians; and another thing that is
very Questionable, is the low awnings
swung out over the streets. We hope
the authorities will consider this com
plant and at once remedy the evil.

were through the audience was dis

that we could not hold out, to inspect
all the baskets. At o'clock the con-
gregation reassembled in the church,
where they listened to an able and log

ardsOn. AT $50 P. N. the congregation
was dismissed, when all repaired to their

been there We want to say to the

always count on us being present at all
their gatherings of this kind in the fu

months old, in the care of some kind
