Jarman is receiving his full share of the
local trade of our city, during the tenn
porary cessation Of the transient trade,

stock, which is large, was purchased in
the city of New York at the lowest
point of the market, thus soring the
Chicago profits, which enables him to
offer goods at low figures. 81

is building stone barn on his place at
the west side of town. While looking
around it the other day stone, weigh
ing twelve pounds and half, fell a dis
lance of about seven feet and struck
him square on the top of his head. He
was neither stunned, knocked down,
nor seriously injured. The stone rolled
off as if it had fallen on the top of a
good, substantial post, causing Mr..
Overman only a slight wound. His
preservation is attributable to the man
ner in which the stone struck him.

To The city CoancA.-We desire to call
the attention of the Council to the ne
cessity of strengthening the streets of
this city. The town was laid out in
the winter, when there was snow on
the ground and the plat over-covered
with thick underbrush, and of course
in many instances the lines are far from
correct. Many of our citizens are and
design making substantial and expcn-
sive improvements in the way of fences,
ornamentation, etc, and desire to know
the exact boundaries of their property.
Much expense and vexation will be
saved by attending to this important
matter promptly.
