.OurAr LAsT.-John B. Bush has been
removed from the Clyde post office, and
JOHN p. Fish appointed his successor. Mr..
Bush in discharge Of his duties as postmas-
ter proved himself capable, efficient and
obliging. We have yet to hear the first
charge against him in his official capaicty,
and wonder at his removal. We trust that
Mr.. FIsH will prove as good an officer as
Mr.. Bush, if so, we shall be satisfied.

Complaint was mado to the Council of
the condition of the grounds around the C.
& T. Railroad Depot; that in wet weather
it was almost impossible tog get around with
team or even walk with safety; that there
were large bodies Of standing, stagnant wa
ter there, which should be removed by ditch
ing or filling up, and praying the authorities
to take some action in the premises, either
by requiring the Railroad Company to make
the neccssnry Improvements, or have it done
at the expense Of tho corporation. The
Council agreed to 60 and view the premis-
cs. Also, tho same complaint was made of
standing water at the foot of tho hill on the
east side of the river, south side of the surn-
pike. The necessity Of ditch was strongly
urged, to carry tho water straight down to
the river.
On motion Of Morehouse, il was resolv-
ed, that an engineer be employed to make
the necessary levels and grades upon all
streets and alleys where it shall be deemed
necessary.
Recorder Bartlett presented an ordinance
relating to the construction and repair Of
sidewalks in the corporation bounds, which
was laid upon the table until the next meet
ing. Adjourned.

white oak piles, standing two aud half

per rod. The expense of stoning 1t would
be considerable more. On motion, com
