IT Proctor. Our Sidewalks. Some portions of our sidewalks are in a deplorable condition, and the Street Commissioner, or the man acting as such officer, should have them fixed up, even if Rover's rations of beef have to be cut short for awhile to pay for it. On Swain Street, near New Berne avenue, it is almost necessa ry to crawl' '611 your- hands and knees to get over the sidewalk, and4 it is a perfect absurdity to think of a girl with a tight pin-back or a narrow sh ahem In fact a lady finds it exceedingly difficult to get over the numerous gullies, both wide and deep," which the pedestrian encounters thereabout. And then on Martin street, near Mc-Mack in Faison's stables, a plank of a bridge across the walk has been crushed through probably by old Bro.

Best and the man who passes thereof a dark night does so at the peril of his shin-bone. And on the same street, between Blood wooth and Swain, where hundreds of people pass going to church, they are compelled to take to the street in the dust, or go "Injun" fashion up against the side of the fences. Let's have them fixed up, or else close up the streets. Our on Printers. At the corner of Fayutteville and Hargett an attract! vesign informs the passerby that John Nichols does all kinds of book and job printing up stairs, displaying as fine samples of work as can be executed anywhere in the South.

Mr. Uzfzell, the foreman, is first-class workman in every respect, and never turns out a bad job. And just down below, on opposite side of the street, the most attractive sign in the, city 'informs us that'Ed wards, Broughton Co. have the largest facilities and can do as fine work on as good terms as any office In the Statewiilcii statement will be confirmed, by visit to the their extensive establishment on the third These are- the only first- class job offices in the city, and they nave all the facilities necessary to do any amount of work, and it is not necessary for people in the towns tosend their fine work North when can be done as cheap and us well here. A Suggestion.

Asv everybody trying to do something extra this centennial year planting trees, digging up old btumps, renewing acquaintances' with all their old relations, we suggest that the city authorities fix up Moore square as a city park, and call it the Centennial Park. One hundred ditTerent varities of trees couhj be secured in the State, and walks run diagonally across tlie square, with twenty-five of these trees on each side, forming a cross in the middle, would make a pretty park and.be a very interesting sjot a hundred years hence, and we could' sit in the shade of these trees while they are popping fire-crackers in Philadelphia, and think what tee did in our young days. While a little burg like Charlotte clamoring for Ja park, do let us have one i United States Court House and Post building, situated on Fayette vi He and Mar- streets, near the court house, in is rapidly approaching completion. It is constructed of fine Ho wan granite, obtained from quarry near Salisbury? the stone eing brouglitliro in the rough ly railway, and cut and' fasnioned ror farious parts of the The oroice'or the building isnowtbe-ng placed in position preparatory tle 'mansard roofing. entire Jngth of the building Is 117 feet on Jyetteville, and 07 feet on Martin sreeU The basement story, ten f5 pltclii is intended "for Beating vaults i and store next story, abdve! ground is de-J siTexclusively for the post of ficu The ''post office room Is .70 by' CO at, Tho mam mail ueiivexy ta cleanliness and excellent manage- ment of the institution, iwery thing about the place Is as clean as a-AV pin, ana tne general gooa order of everything showed that the management or tne institution is in excellent nanos.

in tne DEPARTMENT FOR TIIE DLIND, we' found Miss Alston, the teacher, wHhd class of twelve pupils studying in'i their huge books of raised letters, which one can scarcely read with the best of eyes, but these boys and irlrls could read them with their fingers with an ease and pro- flciency seldom manifested by scholars of their age who are not afflicted with the loss of their eye- sight But their singing was spe cially fine. "The Brook Song," and The Little Brown Church in the Vale" was as well rendered as anything we ever heard from professional singers. Win.

In tliese rooms we wr hhown excellent specimens of penmanship by the scholars. But Uih most wonderful inmate of the asylum in th way of intellect, is Uttlo Sarah.

Alexander, of Mecklenburg county. She Is only seven years of age, very, dark, has bright sparkling eyes, and a very intelligent looking head. To our surprise, nhe wrote on the blackboard, in erfectry-formed letters, that wouldhave made most of our editors and, lawyers blush to have enti fiarah Alexander, Query, observi ug the punctuation points, which is a very rare thing for iny deaf mute to do. The only, meuhani cU branch of the institution is a SHpK aHOP, rem ning seven benches, and turning out first class work. We saw a very fine pair 6f gaiters in course of instruction i for eX'8herifl Lee, hut owing to the eminnom tliraensions, itwill necessarily le great while before they are impleted.
