TraMes «N THE States.—Delaware and Maryland have been invaded by an army of tramps, who have created a reign of terror in that section, Their outrages are of a most daring character and show that the wandering bands must be composed of the most desperate characters. Repeated at- tempts have been made to throw trains from the tracks, and it is positively per- ilous to travelon the leading railroads, — N. Y. Herald.

10 the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

your widelyscirculated paper I wish to call

the attention of our newly-elected Mayer and City Council, as also that of all pro- /gressive citizens, to a matter that claims their earnest and immediate attention.

Hitherto Charlottetowa has been ac~ knowledged to be, and with just claim to the distinetion, one of the best laid out cities in America, and our straight and spacious streets have ever been remarked upon by Strangers, ‘The wisdom and taste of those who laid out this city so early as before the opening of this century (the writer has a plan dated 1790), has never been ques-~ tioned; but itis evident that the city has now overstepped the limits marked out by them, and what do we see? Every person who owns a piece of land outside of the old city limits, and wishes to convert it into building lots, can lay out streets, or rather narrow lanes, as he pleases—straight, tortuous or angleways—as will most en. hance the value of his property. More particularly is this ‘noticeable’ north of Kuston Street—the property there, of late years, having been rapidly built up; and I defy any one to point out any two streets thereon that have any similarity (with the exception of being narrow and crooked).

The present is the time to remedy this, Now, while the land is comparatively cheap and valueless, I would suggest that our City Council take such steps as will lead to having the acw streets straightened, wid. ened, made contiguous, and parallel to the old.” It will be much cheaper to do this now than ten yéars hence, when the prop- erty willbe thickly built upon and the value much enhanced.

{ invite any one interested to make a personal survey of the ‘* Reddin Property,”’ the “Alley Property,’ ‘‘ Haviland’s Lane” (Which should be a continuation of Prince i street), ‘‘ DesBrisay’s’”’ and ‘Gates’ ” lane; and, in fact, all the lanes opened within the last five years; and they will, I think, agree with me that it is high time that we had an ordinance passed regulating the laying out of new streets. There is much to be said, and [ will return to this subject of ‘* Civic Improvements” ina future issue. Till then,

Yours truly, PROGRESS. Ch’town, Sept. 17, 1877.

A great race has just become extinct. Prince Gustave Vasa is dead, and with him dies the last male branch of the old royal house of Vasa, a line founded by the Gus. tave who freed his country from the Dan. ish yoke, Another member of the same family was Gustave III., the victim of one assassin and the hero of two operas, The dead§Prince’s father, Gustave IV., had so bitter a hatred to Napoleon I. that when the King of Prussia sent him the Order of the Black Eagle, which had also been be- stowed upon Napoleon, he returned it, ‘* because,’’ as he said, ‘‘ his honor forbade him to be the brother-in-arms of a mur- derer.”
