The dangerous condition of our post office steps ,is a subject thnt should receive the im mediate attention of the Government officials at this point. The stones have worn away Considerably, and each winter they become more unsafe, !Vomit& ice and sons, which ac cumulates upon them. At least two thousand people, we judge, are obliged to frequent the tailditg daily, and the wonder is that more serious accidents do not occur. A re'urned soldier remarked to ns that he would feel more safety in marching up befdre a rebel battery than in attempting to enter our post ffice when the steps are covered with snow or ice. The best way to remedy the matter would be to build a flight of narrow wooden stairs, reaching from the two central pillars to the ground, with railings at the aides. If somethilig of this sort were dote, and the steps kepi clear of snow, the present difficul ties would be obviated. The Collector and Port Nlaster probably have Lo money to die• burse for the purpose, but we knew enough of she public dispcsiticn to be willing to pledge ourself, if permis'icn is given to erect such an improvement, that a sufficient sum can be raised within an hour. EDITORIAL CONVSNTIC.3I.—Tbe editorial con vention to be held in this city on the 17th inst., (the anniversary cf Franklin's birth day,) promises to be well attended and to be productive of good results. The member. of the press in'all the neighboring towns have generally exprersed their intention to be pres eat, and we look forward to one of the m:st interesting assemblages ever held in this part of the country. The convention is designed to be one of a business, as well as a social nature, and i f conducted in the proper spirit may result in much advantage to the into rests of the craft. A pleasant and commodi ous room has been secured for the sessions of the body, and Metal's sand has offered its ser vices free of charge to IVA) , at the supper which is expecte' to be givven in the evening The members of our city press, and our citizens generally will spare no labor to make the Way of the visitors agreeable, and unless we are greatly mistaken, each one Nebo attends will have reason to congratulate himself upon having done IS). We hcpe all the brethren within the radius of e'hundred miles at least will give us the light of their blooming OcaUtl tenances upon the occas'on The Gasette says the stock of the proposed Mill Town BPIWoad is owned by "five gentle men—Messrs. Lowry, (who owns one-half,) J. W. Douglas, Alex. MoD. Lyon, W. W. Lyon and IT. C. Rogers." Will our eotempo• rary have the goodness to inform us now how much is the total amount of sleek these par flag hold, and by what means -they obtained it? Also, whether in its (pinion, it would not have been a fairer plan, and one that would have given a clearer assurance of the devotion of these gentlemen to the interests of Erie, had they donated the charter to the public, and given all who chose an opportuni ty to become stockholders ? Our anxiety to have the line built has cati!.e I us to refrain from commenting on several feattires on the management of the project thus far, that look somewhat carious,-but the mere fact of a few men securing the charter of sProad, appropri ating its stock to themselves, and then ask ing for subscriptions from the people to make it valuable, is one that only needs to be eta• ted to lead to its own legitimate effect on the minds of our readers. The Warreti Ledger relates the following story. The man who cc uld‘cheat the justice whe married him is only piralleled in mean.. 'less by the scamp who takes a paper, and af ter running largely into debt for the same, has the postmaster send it, back, marked "re fused:" 4 ' Alfellow came to town a few days since, with his sweetheart, anti, called_ on one of the Justices and requested that he ehoitld ap pear at a certain hotel to do a little job of marrying.

Being an enter prising matt, and feeling the importance of having the ceremony performed, he went to another hotel, and there found the ooup'e Awaiting his arrival. 'They,were married. The groom informed the Justice that he should want a certificate and would call at his office for it in the morning, when he would nettle the whole bill. But the certificate not being called-for, -the Justice went to the hotel to learn if the couple were still there, sod found they had gone, having fleeced both the Jus tice and the landlord out of their Among ether acts to come before the Legili lature at the present session, it is known that a strong effort will be made to crest" a new county out of parts of Crawford, Venango and Warren, to be called "Petroleum," with the town or oily of Titusville os the county seat. Tile original plan wee to inoliide Corry. and a couple townships of Erie county, but we aro informed that this is abandoned. The movement will encounter strong opposition from some parts of the empties proposed to be divided, but it will be backed up by money and vigor, and may ev , ntusily succeed. WIC A.

In the foreign trade 207 •easels entered and c'eared; in the coasting trade (b tween Amer icsn ports,) 624 entered and 671 cleared.— Some twenty •easels remain in our harbor for the wiater. The great demand for houses here makes the owning of buildings cne of the most profit .bto mesas for the lavescomat of-capital. A very large number of new houses will be erected next year, and they will all be epeed— ly occupied, at remunerative rents. Our city is going forward with a 'steady growth that equals all the anticipations of its most enthu siastic friends. Sunday last was without doubt the coldest day we have had this season. The theormom. dor in the evening stood at 2° above zero, and is the best built houses it was almost im possible to keep comfortably warm. The comparatively warm weather previonsly.msde people feel the intensity of the cold much more than they would otherwise have done. A car belonging to the Erie and Pittsburgh Railroad Co. was broken into at Shinn), a few nights ago. A case of boots was broken open and several pair abstracted.

A new company, under his management, is soon to open an engagement in Blies' Opera House, Titusville. A general and compulsory movement to ef fect the improvement of the sidewalks upon State street should be commenced next sprieg. The present condition of many of them is die creditable to the city and the owners of the • property. We have too many streets,, per haps, to be able to keep all the sidewalks in the city in proper order. but State street being our main avenue, and the one chiefly used by strangers, should at least be kept in complete repair. We are all anxious that oar city should mats' s. favorable an impression up on strangers as possible, and to do this special pains should be taken to keep the principal streets in first class order. Who is " Tiddy O'Rafferty ? " is the ques tion that now agitates Jewel literary circles. His letters lit the Observer and Dispatch have attracted much attention, and he is unani mously acknowledged to be broth of a boy." We are under injonetiose not to tell, but to grltify in part the curious public, we will say . that " Tiddy " is no less than a well known medical gentleman of oar city, who has tem porsrily taken up his sojourn on Oil Creek; and has not heretofore been understood to be possessed of literary ambition. His lettere, however, display enough skill and interest to warrant the hope that we will hear from him frequently. •In answer to a corr./pendent, we would stet• that the first Court House was destroyed by fire on Sunday, March 28, 1823, between the hours of 12 and 3 o'clock, M.

We did not see the Argus' addrese, but if it was no better than most of the stuff which comes to us under that name, we shou'd think even a cent dear for it. One opinion of this whole "address" system is that it is something of en imposition upon the good nature of newspaper patror . .e, and we have about concluded to abolish it in future, so far as the Observer office is concerned. - School Ilcuee, No. 2, West Mill Creek Tp., located on the Lake Road, about three miles West of the city, on a strip of land taken from the farms of Wilson Laird and John C.
