We would draw the attention of the per son in whose charge the Corporation lamps of the town are placed to the disgraceful state of the majority of them. As the posts are far from ornamental, the presumption is that they arc intended for use, not embellishment, but m the state in which they appear at pre sent that pre.-umption is a fallacy. Were a solar eclipse expected, the glasses might cer tainly be utilised, as there would be a plen tiful supply of the smoked material on hand; hut failing such an application, they remain nothing more nor less than evidences of dirt and neglect. We cannot s.-.y whether the fault Him in the fact that the lamps arc never trimmed or the glasses never cleaned', but whichever be the reason, they are but of little benefit for the purpose for which we suppose they were erected.
