Mr. Snowden.—I am not fully competent to j
lay, what chemical properties art most poi
sonous in their effects, or what acts most in sym- 1
path* with a foul atmosphere: yet, according to
common sense and common understanding, a lit

["COMMUNICATED. J
It is suggested to the proper officer for attend
ing to the cleaning of the streets, that while he
is complying with a very reasonable request
nude to him in the morning's paper, that he
should ex'end his walks up and down Prince
street, and see if something there does not claim
his notice. Indeed, it would not be amiss if he
should occasionally take a stroll through several
other streets and all the alleys.
