This vexed anrd long liiigated aflThin noiw undergo ig its secoind le-gal inves legationt at WVashingtoni has been brougt to a stanul by the unaccountable loss of t wo very im portant docunments connected with thle tni al--the indlictmient on whlich ( m i o wasi arraigned antd the allediged or-igin-al mmning title, filled befom e the board of Alex jcanf conmmitisioners. Our Wanm&, " Man wants btit ittlc her.e hielow, Nor wants that little long." Th~e old quotation which we make above mlay lie apli ed to manli, as an individuah' and we have no objections to it, but. when a body corporate is spoken of in connee tion with its w-ants, the puzzle is .to kntow where to begin, and whlere to end is a problem for the next cenitnry to solveC. The anntual election for town oflicers hasi jutst been held, and conliding ini their lion est desire of the newly electedl Council to promote the interests of~ the town ; it may not be anmiss to throw out a fewv htints as to what might now and canl be done for the welfare of' Sumnterville and athe comufort of its inihabitants. Wee do this not as giving advice, but. simply to call attent ion to some facts andl induce discussion. T1hie town is eut of debt ? This we are told tupon thu street, foer no public stzatement of its fitnan.. ces have ever met -our eye andI none we think ever mtlade'. It such he the case, it linsbt aniother reason01 why we should eOnionence at onre dhiscuss~ing the subject of impi~rovemnents. Or first want atnd one we have heard ouly cailleJ for, is at goaI M trshall, one with rufiiint wvisdomr to understand his dut ies, dJiscetion in its pierformtiance and firmness and imlegrity enough to carry Otnt thia laws of the incorporation; ito stich an oflicer a goodI and liberal salarny shiouh! be p.iill, the pitiful sanm of three hitnilreil dlollar4a is not snailicient amd we wouldI have the iltamout raismed to at leatst five htuinlred .

It (voul~d aliso be an inducexne!t for neighboring farmers to devote more attention to stock raising, knowing they could find a regular sale, and not have their meat carts on one day surrounded with vulture looking faces, and the next find every one supplied and lie obliged to return as lie came. The citizon fares likewiso, for tis feast one weok and fast the iext. The street, tlianks to good drainage and a light soil, are generally passabl, but a few hundred loads of saw-dust froi tlie iighboring mill applied in wet weather would not hurt. A Town clerk iight serve a good pur pose and a few lights in^ the btrects would not iocommode the traveller by night ; but we 1must not be audacious. The last want which we shall now no tire is, by no means the leant. It is a gooc iupply of water, and surely the pre ent council, who aro regarded as of the -Dry' order, will not deny this boon, which is tendered a very necessary precaution from the thickly built up and wooden ap pearance of our bu ildings-propurty hold ers had better look to this, One sentence 1:0r', it is a query.
