A Heavy Job. A taxpayer protests against the proposition of a num- ber of architects to abeorb $30,000 from the city trea- sury for providing mere sketches of plans for the new Post Office building, at $2,000 for each sketch. The correspondent considers this proposition a plan of fraud on the pubic, and so expresses himself in the most energeuc style, The City Cars have astonished a latelysarrived Englishman, who in his simplicity advises the companies to prevent crowding and discomfort to the public by putting on extra cars during the early morning and evening houra, The Dust Nuisance. A resident of Twenty-third street proposes an abate- ment of the dust nuisance which generally prevails dur- ing March. His plan is that the servants be instructed to sweep the dust into the gutters instead of piling it in tho middie of the street, where it can be kicked up by every passing vehicle.

Now the remedy is @ very simple one, Let the Legisiature pass an act that no person shall recover on any dwelling house ~or store, or any stock of goods, for damage by fire, more ‘than seventy-five per cent on the valuo of the building or goods. This would leave the owners to stand security ‘for ‘twenty-five per cent of the loss, and after this enact- ‘ment we would sce the same precautions taken to save ‘their property as is now taken to save their books, and there would no more instances of $1,000,000 or 000,000 worth of property being left without a guar- ian and barrred up from all access by the firemen. rites The State Bounty Question. “On this subject an early enlisted veteran writes as foi- ows:— In the proceedings of the State Legislature, published ‘tm the Hrratp of Tuesday, 12th inst., a resolution ap- ee offered by Mr. Keady, member of Assembly from 8 County, directing the Military Committee to report the expediency of adopting some measure to provide a bouaty for such voluntcer soldiers who enlisted during the ny pariot of the rebellion and received no bounty ‘from the State.
