THE STREETs.-Main street, particularly, is
a great credit to this town. For several days
in succession, last week, nearly every loaded
team that came along sunk hub deep in the
mire in front of Weiss Saloon. Six in one
day were thus stalled, and extricated only
after prodigious labor, yelling and cursing.
Such mode of attaching strangers to the
ways Of the place is not commendable. If
the citizens will not take action to put the
street in decent condition, cannot the road
Uverseer do something for it? Main street
rs part of a county road, and has never had
n cent of county money expended upon it
since 1856. If each property holder would
consent to pay certain amount, and por-
tion of the road tax were used for the same
purpose as suggested, the street might be
graded and gravelled by the overseer at a
comparatively trifling expense. Something
ought to be done. There is already great
deal of travel through town, and will be
much more-and what an unfavorable i'm
preston of the place must be left upon the
minds of travellers by the execrable condi-
tion of its chief thoroughfare.

Infinite credit upon us, and be the means OF

OF these lay in the after part of tho boat, un-
der apple Of clothing; the Other, which was
mush more disturbed, probably BY animals,
was found in the bow. Five pocket watches,
a quantity Of silver spoons and forks, and q
few religious books ware also found, but no
Journals, pookst-books, or sven names upon
any articles Of clothing Two double.bar-
relied guns stood upright againit the boats
side precisely ~ they had been placed eleven
years before. One barrel in each was loaded
and cooked there was ammunition In album
dance, also thirty or forty pounds of choco-
late, some tea and tobacco. Fuel was not
wanting; . drift tree lay within one hundred
yards Of the boat.
Many very interesting relics were brought
away BY Lieut.. Hobson, and some few by
myself. On the 5th Of june reached Port
Victory without having found anything fur
Their. The clothing, 6c., Was again examin-
ed Tor documents, note books, &c., without
success, q record placed in Ahe cabin, and an
other buried 10 feet true north OF il.
From all that can be CLEANED from the re.
cord paper, and the evidence afforded BY the
boat, and various articles OF clothing and
equipment discovered it appears that the
abandonment of the Erebu, and Terror had
been deliberately arranged, and every effort
exertsd during the third winter to render the
travelling equipments complete.
IL 10 much to be apprehended that disease
had greatly reduced the strength Of all on
board, far more perhaps than themselves
were aware of.
The distance by sledge route, from the DO
sition OF the ships when abandoned, to the
boat Is 65 geographical miles and from the
ships to Montreal Island 220 miles.
The most perfect order seems to have ex-
listed throughout.
feeling Of entire devotion to the cause,
which Lady Franklin has so nobly Sustained,
and firm determination to effect oil that
men could do, seems to have supported them
through every difficulty. With less of this
enthusiastic spirit and cheerful obedience to
every command, our small number-23 IN all
would not have suficed for the successful
performance OF so great a work.
