SS Ee Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak- ne s,lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack o appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con stipation, &c., deserve to suffer if they will not try the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS, which are now recommended by the highest medi- cal suthorities, and warranted to produce an im- mediate beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, perfectly pure, and must supercede all other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required. They purify, strengten and invigorate. They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to a change of water and diet, They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours, They strengthen the system and enliven the mind. They prevent miasmat niintermittent fevers They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach, They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation, They cure Diarrbea, Cholera, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Head- ache, They make the weak strong, the languid bril- iant, and are exhausted nature’s great restorer. They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, wintergreen, sassafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in perfectly pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulars and testimonials around each bottle. Beware of imposters, Examine every bottle. See that it has D, 8, Barnes’ signature on our pri- vate U.S. Stamp over the cork, with plantation scene, and our firm signature on a fine steel plate ngraving on side label. See that our bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterious stuff.

Mr. Utermehble cailea up the special order— the bill to cause the carriageway on 6th street west, from Pennsylvania to New York avenue, to be paved. Pha hams asked if a petition accompanied the bill. Mr. Uthermehle said no petition was re- quired. Mr. Utermehle proceeded to argue in fayor of the bill, and that the act of May 6, 1S61, clearly empcwered the City Councils to grade and pave streets, and to pay for it out of tha ward funds, and that the law was passed at the request of the Mayor and others, as ordi- nances of the city heretofore passed to pave had proven mere nullities. The question is what will the Board do with that street. It is a questicn to be pondered well, whether it shall be left in the condition it now is, or give the Fourth Ward its due and the benefit of its tinances. Mr. Utermehle then read the opini n of the Corporation Attorney bearing upon this subject. [The opinion was published in the Star lately.) Mr. Lioyd called Mr. Turton to the chair and said that his own tdea was to saye the Copora- tion a large amount of money and prevent an invidious distinction from being made. The Mayor had the law of May, 1961, passed wih the understanding and belief, that its intention ‘was to have the people living along the line of a street to be paved, to pay for such paving. No one heretofore supposed that we had au- thority to pave the streets and pay the expense out of the ward funds, therefore all interested in the welfare of the city have been endeayor- ing to get the authority to pave, and change the system of grading. It was illegalto pass an ordinance to pave and have it executed if the ward funds were to be expended for the im- provement, hence permission was granted to pave if the people were taxed for the improve- ment, and theonly way to carry out the act of 1864, Mr. Lloyd believed, wouid be to get the application of owners of property, assess the cost upon the owners living along the line of the street, put itin the ward fand and draw it out again, and by this means we could get rid of the difficulty that the verbiage of the act of Congress has got us into. But at this time the speaker dia not believe that members would underiake a bill of such magnitude. It has been decided time and again that Waras could not be made to pay for the paving of the streets. We have the same law now we haye always had, and con- sequently there was nothing giving the Mayor power to pay for paying out of the Ward fonds. Assuming. however, that the opinion of the Corporation Attorney was correct, the Board should not make invidious distinction ee taking from the Ward funds to pay for one treet while other streets had been paved by taxation upon owners living along their lines He c@iicluded that the members of the Board would not pass the bill, as the current ex- penses of the Board for the fiscal year would consume all the proceeds of the taxable prop- erty. Mr. Utermehle, in return, argued that the question of the legality of the act had been dis- posed of, and he(Mr. U.) believed that the Corporation Attorney had disposed of the question as to a petition being required. Mr. Utermeble further argued that this question involved another, whether the passage of the bill would be for the general good. He con- tended that it would be, and that the street must be improved, and put it to gentlemen wheth:r they would grant them $10,000 tograde and gravel the street. Mr. Canfield said he tor one would. Mr. Utermeble turthersaid that to show that be had no special interest specially to have 6th street paved, if gentlemen desired it he would include 5th and 4% streets in the bill. Mr. Lloyd, in reply, contended that the paving of this street was not for the general good, as there were many streets more travelled than it was, and there were dozens of ways whereby Pennsylvania avenue conld be reached from New York avenue.
