Fi.i.t.ow-CrmKNS—It is deemed highly
important'lo yobr Welfare, that the rubbish
resultin'' from tha severe "ale of [«st night,
should be immediately removed from.our
•city The destruction of your shade trees
has been greater than at auy former period.
The streets are covered with their branch
es and berries. \Vill you persevere in
your exertions to assist your public ser
Mints in their removal ? Will you have-
them cdllectod iiv heaps-before your dobrs,
for the convenience of .the cartmen, who
w ill call for them ? This is mow the only
source from which an increase of disease
is to be apprehended. It becomes us all
then cordially to unite, and with one ge
neral effort, free ourselves from impending
danger. > -. ' ' % . . i
