German Colony Road.

A petition from III. @. Potter and
103 others, containing instructions to
the Alderman of the Third Ward, to
vote for the graveling, grading and
ditching, of the German Colony road,
and taxing the property holders along
the line of said road, to defray the ex-
penses Of the same.
Alderman Gage here arose and re-
marked that he questioned the right
of any man, or set of men, to instruct
him SO long as he professed to know
his duties in regard to matters and
things generally.-Enterprise 7th, from
synopsis of Council proceedings.
The history of this German Colony
Road business, though brief, is inter-
esting. Some three weeks since a pc
tition signed by large majority of
the property holders on the line of the
German Colony Road, was presented
to the Council, asking for the privi-
lege Of improving the road at the ex-
pense of said property holders. BY a
unanimous vote the Council directed
the Controller to advertise for propo-
sails for doing the work, proposals
were received at the same time re-
monstrance signed by w. L. p. Little
and four others against having the
work done, was received, and remon-
STRANGE and proposals were together
referred to Committee on Streets
Committee reported favorably, but
since the.matter had been first brought
up Col. Gage discovered that Genesee
Street, where he owns large interests
might be effected thereby, and in his
usual subterranean style, defeated the
project. Hence the obstruction" his
arrogant response, and what more we
shall see.

After the manner Of the Daily Enterprise.
EE Sitting one morning by our
window replacing the rivet in our
scissors, without which We should
cease to {" live and move and have our
being, we saw young gentleman ap-
preaching the town from the bridge.
He stepped proudly along, throwing
his eagle glance first on the car track,
then on long dog with short legs,
and then on a short lady with
when suddenly the car whistle sound
ed, and in his alarm he stubbed his toe
upon one of our old papers the dry
ness of which had preserved it during
the Spring rains and until now. He
looked Indignantly at it for a second,
and then was so insane as to kick it
out of the way and proceed, leaving
us sadder and wiser to reflect that
" sich is life 4"
Continuing our observations, we
soon became aware of the approach
of one of our oldest subscribers, a
man who is eminently domestic and
never says "cuss words" We were
proudly regarding him, as he slowly
passed along glancing at our morning
issue, which he had in his hand, and
which contained peculiarly spicy ac-
count Of the trials Of "Jehu." His
eyes were fixed upon those facetious
lines, when, as he passed the window,
we heard the fall Of some heavy arti-
Gle on the pavement. Hoping to re-
place in bis hands some valuable par
eel which we were sure he had let fall
in his engrossment, we hurried down.
Judge what was our astonishment to
find that it was a great fat oath !

being forcing young man to drink

from our sense Of smell (the public
will do us justice to admit that it is
perfect to bad odors) contained ardent

firmly against the tempting potion,

finally succeeded in forcing some of
the hated poison down his unwilling
throat. lie turned away righteously

Another Scheme TO Defraud

sharp Figuring in the Council.

The Common Council of this city
recently voted to plank Genesee street,
for whose improvement by some chi
canery or other, the whole people are
generally made to bleed instead of
those only who are directly interested
in that thoroughfare, from Jefferson
street to the German Colony Road, at
the expense of the property holders
on the street.
Genesee Street proper it appears
does not extend to the German Colony
Road, it having been established by
the village charter, only to a point a
short distance beyond its intersection
with Hoyt Street, beyond which il
has not now nor never had a legal To-
cal habitation nor a name.
The whole arrangement looks like
the old trick TO effect an illegal assess
ment and throw the assessed for the
improvement back, as of old, on the
General Fund. Tax payers will do
well 10 ventilate this "new dodge"

PERsoNAL-Last Saturday our eyes
were gladdened by sight of the fa-
miliar face and substantial figure of
our ancient and esteemed friend G.
+. LEWIS, Esq, of the East Saginaw
Courier, who is here revisiting the
scenes of his boyhood days, and re-
viving the pleasant memories of the
olden time. /" Fred" looks and dresses
well-a strange thing for an editor
and from other attendant circumstan-
ces, we should infer that the Saginaw
people fully appreciate his merits as a
Journalist and his qualities as a man.
Although the painful contrast between
our seedy outfit and his shining store
clothes did give us a momentary pang
of envy and humility, yet we bear no
malice, we forgive him, and heartily
wish that he may long be spared to
eater for his numerous readers, and
bless the man that invented the free
pass system. M. Clemens Conservative

but if year old suit from the fash
ionable clothing house of f. G. VIII
KIN, of this city, is still so fine as to
attract the attention of our tasteful
friend of the Press, we give f. G. the
benefit of this "first rate notice" of
G. F.'s "store clothes" About that
"pang of envy" if there is in all the
world a gentleman free from envy,
hatred and malice and all uncharita-
bleness," it is our young friend "Mike"

or any influence in out power could
put him where he belongs, among the
first intellects of the State, and as far
above all temporal wants as his heart
is above all tho meaner impulses Of
humanity, they would not long be out
of requisition. There, brother chip,

much there is justly in store for you
better than store clothes or free passes or
all the pungent amenities of dogs life

be satisfied until you "go for it F" with

Health i'm tEse Churches.

A healthy Christian is one who can work
as well as eat. If there is o heavy load to
carry IN Christ's cause, he takes to it at
once. If there is wall to build, he is the
man to lift the big stones. If some one has
to go into the storm, and endure pelting OPP
position, who so able to bear it as his broad
breast and brawny arm? A man that loves
Christ loves work. A dyspeptic Christian
breads work. A lazy Christian shirks it.
What a hospital is many church! Here
lies one poor man down with g paralysis Of
faith. Here is another laid up by sprain
which he got by sudden fall into tempta-
ton. Here is one whom fever of passion
has burned out he looks hardly worth the
medicine to cure him Alas for another, he
is under pastoral treatment for the blind
ness of unbelief-whose gaping wounds re
veals the spot where Satans fiery dart went
in! A revival commonly clears the Church
hospital. But long period of spiritual de-
clension Grams it to the doorway. Oh what
need that he who went through Galilee,
healing all manner Of diseases, should come
into some churches, whose atmosphere is
loaded with the efiuvia Of incipient putre-
faction !-Iamity Treasury.
