Fire Plugs.
Frequent complaint* has been, and
is being made, on account of the im
purity of the reservoir water. This
may be attributed in a measure to the
heavy rains of late. We would, how
ever, suggest to the superintendent
of the water plugs to open the same
at least once a week so as to allow
the water to run off and thereby
cleanse the pipes of the stagnant re
fuse.

No Money to Pay Teachers.
This is the subject of an advertise
ment which has appeared in the
weekly papers of this city for the past
' month. What does it mean may well
be asked by the tax-payer?—“No
, money to pay the teachers!” Where
does the money of our tax-payers go,
’ anyhow ? Who is responsible for
, this condition of things ? Are the
tax-collectors in default ? A serious
and all important duty is devolved
upon,the Board of School Commis
sioners of our county, who are entrus
ted with the proper regulation of our
, public schools, and they should see to
it that no delay or delinguency be
permitted or tolerated on the part of
the tax-collectors to pay over prompt
ly the school tax collected, necessary
to run and keep open our public
school.

, A Full House.
The fashionable boarding house
' which is presided over by the affable
Mrs. Schwarar is full of guests from
* various sections, who are here for the
Academy exercises. The house is an
! old fashioned one with the spacious
apartments which belong exclusively
: to one of its date, and it is peculiarly
i adapted to the convenience of strang
[ era who are visiting the Navy, as it
is located just outside the wall. Be
" side these advantages the house has
> the reputation of having daily a fine
menu, only equaled by that of a hotel,
and with this attractive feature it is
J sure to maintain its standing as a first
' class boarding house.
A New Batcher in Market.
* Our Annapolis butchers are to be
met by a competitor in their line of
business on Saturday morning next
in tfce form of a stranger who we
learn has already leased a stall in our
l market. If he can teach our butchers
■ the art of dispensing meats at a lower
5 rate than at present, the lesson will
5 be, at least beneficial to purchasers
' generally. If this new comer sells
j his meats at more reasonable rate?
f than others in that line of business,
he will be welcomed as a bon ami.

PAVIXO CHURCH CIRCLK,
Editor Capital /”
Your recent editorial in which was
suggested the paving of “Church
Circle with Concrete or Asphaltum”
has not only attracted my own but the
attention of others in this city. As
mentioned by you, the difference in
cost between the present pavement
and that proposed, would be but small
if we take into consideration the cost
of the material with which it is now
paved. I am told that one of the pres
ent street employees—(Mr. Meachen)
thoroughly understands this character
of work, a sample of which is to be
seen on the State House Hill. It is
to be hoped our city custodians will
appreciate the views and adopt the
plan suggested by you. Large bodies
move slowly, however, yet “faint heart
never won fair lady.” Pbogbess.
