Indeed, it is impossible to furnish you
with a readable and acceptable paper
without necessary means. The Post
Office denies us llio right of sending
out our accounts except under the
lull postage rate, and as this is alto*
gether too expensive a mode, we
trust and earnestly request that all

you can’t pay all, pay part. If you
have no money, bring us eggs, chick

anything in the provision lino which
will help us out these hard times. We
hope we shall not have to make an
other appeal to our subscribers, but
that this will serve to nerve all to
compassion for the printer, who feels
more than all others the hard times,

A rilthy Street:.
The city authorities should certain
ly look to the cleanliness of Jackson
street, as all the filth and rubbish
from two Restaurants .are thrown in
the street to be wafted dQwn the hill
in front of the business houses there
on. The Bar-tenders on that street
say that on warm,'moonlight nights
the man in the moon has to hold his
nose as he passes over. Those who
create this filth should go down and
take a look at Wall street, called
“Cat Alley” for short, and see how
neatly that is kept-
