Hundreds of fa nilies are in a gieat measure dependent upon ♦he enterprising street hawkets for obtaining vegetables, fish, fruit <fec , at their doors at teasonable prices. Bass the ordinance, and besides the inconvenient, of get ting these needs of every day, prices will go up to tin benefit of the small monopolists while about three families out of five will be compelled to employ help at home which they can illy afford to do or suffer f< r want of necessaries which are now brought to their doors. To say that we are surpris d at the action of the committee, is stating tfie matter mildly, They should it seems to our mind seek to legislate in such a manner as will secure the greatest good to the greatest number of people. The effect of their report will be the 1 everse, and it is to be hoped that the city council will see the neces sity of B'ranglmg the pernicious ordinance when it comes up to be acted upon.

Rowell & Co., will issue on Monday, May 2, the Nineteenth Annu al edition ot their standard publication the ••American Newspaper Directory.” The new volume co lUiua an exhaus tive li-t of all Class Publications so ad mirably arranged that any one of the three thousand papers represented there can be readily reieired to and all im portant tacts concerning it, together with its circulation ruling easily obtain ed. , The Newspaper Directory will be used principally by Publishers, Advertisers, and Advertising Agents, but the va-t fund of information it contains makes it valuable to persons of almost every trade and profession. As a Gazetteer alone it is wHI worth the price charged, S 3, for it fully describes every town in which a new-paper is issued, and few people care to know about any place where oue is not, The number of papers published in the Uli ed 8 ate?, Terr.tories finc.ud- iog Alaska] and Canada is put at, 15,420; an increase ol 58f iu one year. Th* growth of new.-papers in some of j the Western States would be a mattiri of wonder, if it were not that this year is uoeXC ption to the ru'e. In Kansas j the increase is 89 and in Nebraska 64; while the Keystone State shows a j smaller advance of 35 and the Buckeye.; State of 30. Pennsylvania exhibits the largest increase in dailies, 17; Kansas in weeklies, 81, and New Yoik in monthlies, 42. Seven States show a decreise; the most prominent instances being New Hampshire andVfrginia, s.x each, The whole volume shows that care has been taken to sustain its repu tation as the nr st comprehensive work of the kind yet published, and to in-ure security in every detail. Anything less than a complete compendium i f Am- rican newspapers and periodica s would surprise tho-e who are familiar with the former eff rtsof this firm, who are so web known as the oldest, largest and best known of all the American Advertising Agencies. •* NOTICE No. 2 To The Members of the.
