NEW YORK DENTAL hOOMS, Establistea 185), CLEANING THE STREETS, THE WORK BEGUN ON BROADWAY YESTERDAY— IMMENSE ACCUMULATIONS OF DIRT DUG UP ON EVERY BLOCK—SANITARY RESULTS EX- PECTED FROM THE CLEANING UP. The recent opinion delivered by Corporation Counsel Whitney to the effect that it is the duty of the street Cleaning Bureau to remove the dirt and snow from the city’s thoroughfares bas had the effect of stimulating that heretoiore only ornamental branch of the cily government into activity, BEGINNING THE WORK. Un Saturday the work of cleaning the streets began, but owing to their crowded condition but ttle was accomplished. Yesterday morning, however, work was begun in good earnest, and about 600 men, with shovels and picks, and halfasm&py wayons, had congregated in the neighborbood of Fourteenth street and Broadway at six o’clock. At that hour Captain Gunner detailed the men in gangs on different eections of Broadway, from Union squate to the Battery. Ali day long the work went on, and late in the afternoon the whole line of the great avenue was cleaned—or better, the ‘big dirt’? had been removed. To thoroughly viean Broadway would require at Jeast one whole week, tor tie accumulated filth of six weeks hasbeen caught aod held in the frozen snow, During the summer months Broadway is swept clean every evening. Tho summer sweepings amount to about four cartioads to 4 block; and irom toese Ogures an idea ol what was yesterday carted away may be formed, THE AMOUNT OY DIRT CAKKIED AWAY. Four cart louds 4 day for twenty-eight days would bring the accumulation up to the enormous sum of 112 loads to uw block, Of course the thaws bave carried @ great deal of tho soil down to the sewers, and they are in consequence as much in need of cleaning as the streets, Then, a5 the Hlth in the streets is packed and compreased into the smallest possible space by ‘the tread of horses, rolliug of wheels and the action of the frost, its real bulk does not appoar; but it is safe to gay that each block yesterday gave 100 loads of dirt, For two weeks the spow in tho middle of Broadway has been higher than the sidewalk, and the looge stull at the top has not been more than seven or eight inches deep. Below and next the paying stones a solid inass of ice ranging in thickness from ten Lo sixteen inches was discovered by the men at work yesterday, SANITARY RESULTS OF THE CLEANING, Several physicians give itus thelr opinion that the lower portion of the city will be afflicted by mularia a8 goon us the thaw reaches the sewers, muny of which are biocked up with soil from the strect, A doctor residing in the lower portion of the city says that always after a thaw be fluds a yroat amount of malaria among his patients, and he ascribes it to the freeing of miasmatic sporules trom the filth and street soil, In ordinary weather the air 4s au efficient infectant and deatroys the poisonous germs, Each day’s accumulation gives the air, vitiated us itis by fumes and heats of aii kinds, quite suilicient to do, and it 18 unable to do four weeks? work in two days, When called upon, a5 in the present instance, to disiniect tho soil of a month, tho atmosphere is unequal to the task, and becomes the vehicie lor carrying the gorms of ague throughout the city. Zhe removal of the eighteen inches of soll accumulation in Broadway will largely decrease tho risk of iniasma usually run by the ' residents of the lower, por.ion of the city during » thaw, So much for the sanitury aspect of y clouring. torday’s BENEFITS TO TRAVEL. ‘The accommodation to the travelling public is more @pparont and immediate than (hat to the resident pub- he, and 1 apt tobe more thoroughly appreciated, The ‘stage compunies can now do with two horses tho work recently requiring three wid four, and that with moro expedition. Tue boot vlacks who have complained of late that the “hard times" even reached down to their low depth, seo in the-immediate future a bright pri pect of w revival of trade, Ounce remove the nec sity for overshocs and the luxury of a “shine” will be sought by thousands, WHERE THE DIRT WAS THROWN, The dirt aad suow collected troin the streets yester- day was dumped tn the rivers, the Police Department having obtuined permission from the Dock Depart- mont to use the following bulkheds us dumping places :—North River—New pier No, 1, bulkheads north of pier No, 41, south of pler No. 43, north of pier No. 45, foot of Bank street, between Fifty-fi{th and Filty-seventh streets and between Filty-seventh gud Fity-eighth streets, East River—Pier No, 2, foot of Whitehall street; pier No. 40, toot of Pike stroet; bulk- head foot of Jackson strect; also inner end of ‘south sido of pier ivot of East Twenty-third street, In all dases dumps must be made into the rivor and not upon any of the premises designated, ‘The proviso that the premises named should not be ued ws {dump yards was thought necussury, for two years ago, when Mr, Matsell was resident of the Po- lice Bourd, the dock at the foot of Twenty-third street was used as a dump yard, and a gratetui public dubbed the pile ‘Mount Matsell.”” Mount Matseil ss still in existence, and in suinmer time is quite as odoriferous as Mr. Disbeckor’s dumps were in Harlem. ‘The other great arteries of travel will be cleared as s00n us the work on Broadway has been completed, ROBBING A STRANGER.

Panis, Dec, 29, 1876, Many things contribute to render a constitutional through the Bois a” rare treat in this season. First, the bright and mild atmosphere at present enjoyed in Paris; second, the clesr blue sky above, and especially the Parisian fair below, Nevor were female figures more serpentine and sylph- like; but, with all that, ladies appear wonderfully eman- cipated and ready for meeting or tun. 1 is partly the fault of their bonnets, their manly coats, big pockets and stiff collars; but the bonnets are most to blame, Let the reader think of any one of the modest, pretty girls ho may know, and fancy her pink and white dimpled face in a close cottage-shape of downy white beaver, trimmed with crumpled pink silk and bordered with sable, the whole constituting a piece of head gear that is strapped on with a buckle under the left ear.

La Marichale and her daughter had: decorated the altar with flowers and evergreens. The very intimate only attended; but there are many who are intimate in Marshal De MacMahon’s circle, and the chapel, a blaze of light, was therefore fil. Wheu the religious servico was over the whole party partook of Christmas furo in @ brilliartly illuminated supper room. Ivory cashmere, worked with satin stitch, etamped velvet, poult and lampas were the most admired materials, Ono evening cloak was made of white sicilienne, a corded soft silk, and Jaced all down the back. It was loose, quilted and bordered with mara, bou feathers, Tho cord used for lacing was thick and ended with two rich chenille tassels, The Marshal not only keeps up the good old traditional Christmas with its holly and mistletoe emblems, but he loves sport in this season and arun with the hounds, The dukes, princes and counts of this unprecedented Re- public aro no less eager in their passion for bunting, 80 that several meets have summoned le beau monde to Chantilly, ‘The whole neighborhood rung last woek with the echoul horns and clatter of hools, lt was all occasioned by the Princes of Oricaus, who scampered through Morlaye behind w flying deer that at length cuine to its last breath in the park of la Murquise de Conegiiano, A grand display of riding habite—gray, uavy blue and seal—and a greater display of driving toilets astonished the peusantry of the euvirons.

The efforts made to relieve the distress of the poor have for e week or se Deen attended with no inconsiderable success, but still bave been inadequate to meet the increasing need for them. The generous dealing with the poor which in former years characterized our well-to-do citizens bas been cramped this winter by the dulnese which has prevailed in all departments of mercantile busine: The families of those who whea money was plenty gave largely to the neeay and distressed are now themselves so far obliged to reduce expenses, as to jnclude the items for charitable purposes in the curtailments, Hence the charitable institutions have Dot this year been so bountifully suppliea with money as in former years, ASSOCIATION FOR IMPROVING THR CONDITION OF THE POOR, ‘This association has «a special field of its own in which it has long labored.
