Moore, formerly of Egmondville, arrived here on Tuesday evening Iast from East Boston, where he had, on the previous'Saturday, met with an accident which resulted in his death, while working on a dredge. The friends in Eg- mondville have since received a letter from Messrs. G. H.. Berryman & Brothers, the firm for whom he was working. They say : Mr. Peter D. Moore was up oiling a ehai# which passes aver a crane on the dredge, and when corning down a frame, accident- ally slipped, causing his foot toJeatch in the spokes of a revolving wheel, throwing the poor fellow with such. force as to cause his instant death.

These go to show that after all the Dost is not so very large to the individual, especially when the permanence and small cost of maintenance of these sidewalks is considered. . According to the new statute, the ratepayers pay 60% of the cost on business streets, thus leaving 40%, and the cost of crossings, etc., to be payed by general assessment : three -tenths of a mill will cover this. The cost per lineal foot of an 8 -foot sidewalk, with stone curbs, will be about 41.44, therefore the ratepayer whose lot fronts on this sidewalk will have to pay 60% of this, which is 86.6 cents, Supposing_his lot to be a 50 -foot one, the cost to him would be 843.32, but by spread- ing this over a period of 15 years, with in- terest at 4%, a payment of 83.90 per year will be all that a citizen owning a 50 -foot lot will have to pay fora sidewalk 8 feet wide. - • TRAVELLERS . —The following parties were. ticketed by R.
