For th Sunbury American.
To the Citizc.ni of the Borough of Sunbury.
Whereas numerous complaints ore almost
uatly made concerning the state of the streets
&nd alleys of the Borough, and especially
Broadway, and whereas. I believe it to be the
duty of those who are placed in office for the
purpose of executing the laws and regulations
of the corporation, to see that those laws
and regulations are slrictlv carried out. and
believing that I am reanonsibln both bv law
and by oath of office for the due execution of
all those duties that are enjoined on theChief
- . . .,
uurgess ana Miiccr or the liorongn, J mere
fore tive notice to every person or person?,
who nave, or hereafter shall have, or permit
any nuisances of any kind or nature what
ever npon any of the Tublic Streets oralleys,
that unless such nuisances are removed with
in twenty days from this time, that the offen
der will suffer the penalties prescribed by
law. For a number of years the provisions
of many sections of the act of incorporat ion
liuvc been violated with impunity, and wheth
er it was the result of neglect on the part of
mose in power or not, 1 am unnuie to say,
but certain it is that the time has come when
necessity calls for their enforcement and in
order that no individual may be surprised for
want of due notice, I take this method of in
forming th'em of what laws they are called
upon to obey and which I have dctermiued
to carry ont.
, 1st. The 12th section of the act declares
any house built upon any street .or alley, a
public nuisance and declares it abateable and
punishable as such, and the offender shall
pay a penalty of 30 pounds. To avoid this
result I would recommend that every person
desiring to build, should apply to the Borough
jttegnlutors. whose duty it is to ascertain the
true line of the street.
, The 14th section of the charter provides a
penalty of five pounds against every person
who lays, or causes to be laid, a foundation,
without applying to the regulators.
The 33d section provides a penalty 4of 20
shillings for casting or laying shavings, mud,.
ashen, or other filth or unnoyance on any
pavement, street, lano or alley : tho offender
to be convicted before either ofthe Burgesses
of the Borough, and the person so convicted
shall pay tho cost of removing the sanio.
The 34th section provides a penalty against
any person who shall cast or throw out of
any cart, wagon or other carriage, any rub
bish, dirt, or earth, in any struct, lutio or
alley, tho offender to pay the costs of -removing
the same upon conviction before either
of the Burgesses.
The CGth section provides agaist casting
-or throwing carrion, Ac, in any unenclosed
ground.
Tho Regulators are to determine the width
and heightli or pavements, and all posts are
to bo put in as directed by them. I have
observed that a number of individuals are in
the habit of digging up the sand on what is
commonly called tho buck lane, a short dis
tance below tbo l! raveyarrl, and I am inform
ed that some individuals have presumed to
sell tho same at 25 cents per load : this prac
tice has been carried on to such an extent
as to make it unsafe for even foot travellers
to pass along said lano, in consequence of tho
deep excavations that have been made. For
the information of those individuals I would
here state that it is just as much a tmisnncc
to die up the soil on a public hitrhwar thereby
rendering tho passage of the public danger
ous ana inconvenient as it is to placo obstruc
tions on the sumo, and that all are criminally
linble whether they actually do tho act or
order it to be done.
Much iron ore and lumber is placed on the
river bank, which is the cause of daily com
plaint : whilst I am in favor of permitting
every citizen to carry on his lawful business
in any part of our t own, I cannot seo the
justice in allowing some to occupy those por
tions of our public grounds to which no pri
vate individual can have a right, to tho ex
clusicn of ethers. Nearly the whole of our
river bank is taken up, not by persons who
merely desire to occupy it for some transitory
fir legitimate purpose, us lor instuuce load
ing their lumber on boats, or their iron ore on
-ors, but they make it u permanent board
yard, or place of stacking their iron ore, line-
etone, Arc. Broadway is a public street and
null be kept open for public use. Those in
dividuals who occupy it for private purposes
will do well to remember that all Mich ob
structions are abateable. and the individuals
indictubh.', and thut it trill be done. Xo
previous notice to remove is required bv law.
It is also unlawful to permit horses or
mules to run nt lanre within tho Boroucli
and the ordinances in relation thereto will be
strictly enforced, and it will be well for those
persons who were proceeded asrainst last
meek, to bear in mind that the Esquire has
-cnungeu His mum in regard to tho construc
tion of tho law, arid that hereafter colts will
he .considered as horses within tho meaning
oi me aaw, una it a persons horse brenks
loose ana tue owner does not endeavor to take
him as soon as possible, he will bo liable to
the penalty prescribed, and that offenders
fiUatl not again escape. It is the duty of
It be High Constable to take up and impound
All horses or mules fouud running at large.
It is tho duty of every citizen to know the
law, but as our Borough ordinances have not
been observed for many years, I have thus
seen proper to give notice of my intentions.
I believe thut there is no use in having laws
unless they are adhered to. I do not mean
to be partial or sel fish, but intend to serve
all alike and will do my duty without respect
to friend or foe. Many of our citizens re
marked on the day of the election that they
would vote for me because they believed that
I would attend to the duties of the office. If
some of thise individuals do net clear away
the rubbish about their premises, they will
find out that they were perfect prophets.
Your Obedient Servant,
WM. M. ROCKEFELLER,
Chief Burgest.

A Valuable Article. China grass is un
article which should be immediately introdu
duccd into the United States. In China it is
cultivated along the borders of rice fields.
Queen Elizabeth'! time cloths made of it were
imported into Europe. The Hollanders pre
ferred it, for tine fabrics, to those made of flax.
The tenacity is such that a thread may lie
spun one hundred and seventy feet long with
out winding. It is fifty per cent, stronger
than flax. A thread over six miles in length
weighed only a trifle over one thousaud two
hundred groins.
IMIoway's Ointment and Pills, a certain
(Cure for Bad Breasts, Caked Breasts, and
Sore Nipples. The wife of Mr. II. B., of the
Broadway, New York, suffered several months
after the birth of her last child with a bad
breast, several holes having formed on the
same, her nipples were nearly gone, and it
was thought at one time that the breast must
be Uken off. Mr. II. B. put ber under a
course of II olio way's Ointment and Fills,
after having tried every other means without
success ; the Ointment was well rubbed into
the parts affected, and the Pills were taken
regularly. In three weeks the anxious hus
band was amply compensated, for bis wife
was quite well.

Tue Qalx 0 Suvdat Night did great
damage among the roofs and awnings and
hundreds ofthe latter were torn to tatters.
Speaking of Utters, the best garment must
wear out beyond all repairing. AU gentle
