not be punished before trial by setting upon

The reason that we used the words " az Iesst

they shall sleep on bare plank, be chained bv

AT the meeting of the Board of Aldermen,
last evening, the petition of B. +. Haywood
and James Green asking that Union street be
graded and laid outtor new sidewalk was re.
ferred to the committee on sidewalks
The quarterly reports Of the aqueduct and
street commissioners were read and sent down.
The aqueduct stands very WELL there being
one foot more water in Bell Pond than there
was three months ago. The expenses of the
Highway department for the quarter were
SO, 562 OIL, and for the six months ending June
30th, $5,347 A.
The Mayor read two papers from the school
committee, one asking the City Government
to make temporary provision for one double
or two single schools in the proposed new
engine house, and another from the special
committee on School Houses, suggesting that
a third story be added to the Front street
school house. Mr.. Jones, Superintendent of
schools, made statement to show the necessi-
ty of more school room in the vicinity of the
Common, or the South part of the city. The
papers were referred to the committee on Edu-
| cation.
The papers relating to Chatham street were
taken from the table, and the decree laying out
the same as a public street was accepted.
The quarterly report of the City Marshal
was read and placed on file. The report was

WHAT ONE GREAT MIND CAN ACCOMPLISH
The great ones" of the earth have been justly
designated as such for having achieved ends
and objects unattained by their fellow men. If
we trace the rise and progress of them, we
shall see, that not only has their success been
owing to a new idea or original suggestion, but
IN far greater measure to the systematic
mode of carrying out the projects, and bring
ing them to a successful issue. In no instance
has this fact been more truly exemplifed than
in the career and lightning-speed progress to
fame of Thomas Holloway, and the proportion
ate universal dissemination of his Pills and
Ointment as species for nearly every disease
of the human frame. We have been fortunate
enough to learn from his own lips the nlodus
operdnd' of this wonder working system, which
evinces its superiority not only in having
reached the acme of perfection, but in keeping
atioat this mighty organization, a 'harp of a
thousand strings" to keep in tune!
Let the reader conceive to himself the DOS
sibility of creating and continuing in working
order business from whose focus two articles.
with the simple cognomen of Hollowaq'S Pills
and HoHowdyS Ointment, are kept perpetually
IN the hand and within the reach of one in
every hundred of a community, and that COM
munity contained in no less limits than the
circle of the edrth'S broad surface Now this is
not only accomplished, but done with ease and
harmony withal: these almost ubiquitous
remedies, called originally las we are assuredl
from the vegetable productions of that soil which
gave us birth, are moreover so compounded,
from careful steady and research, as to the act
with diverse tendencies, but wonderful unity of
effect; the individual properties of Holoway's
medicines becomes paSsiUe or dctice, to suit the
exigencies of the case, the Pills containing
both tonic as well as detergent qualities, dew
elope the one or the other as the symptoms of
the patients case may demand, the Ointment
being an 'expellant' as well as healing ap-
plication, takes a similar mode of attaining
the desired end, thus mutually assisting nature
to cast off the common enemy, and subduing
the reign of fell disease.
Much more could be said on this point than
can well come within the scope of this short ar
ticle, which we have thought it our duty to de-
vote to casual glance at great undertaking.
that may have escaped the observation, and
consequently the due appreciation of great
portion OF our readers; a system conceived as
it was, and carried out as it is, by master
mind! We will at some future time render
some further interesting particulars with regard
to this peerless and unprecedented enterprise
