Oity Council Proceedings.

At the regular meeting on Monday night, Of
the City Council, a large amount Of important
business was dispatched. Means were taken
and appropriations made to prepare for the
second trial of the Campbell suit against the
city, and also to defend other suits com
menced on the bonded debt of the city. The
amount asked by the School Board OF Educa-
ton to be raised for the support of the pub
lie schools for the coming year, was consid-
cred and voted The fencing and plating OF
the addition to the city cemetery was pro-
yided for The question of an alley through
block Sc was brought up by Col. Lowell on
behalf of the lot owners on said block.
Claiming on their behalf and in behalf Of the
city that an alley had been dedicated to the
public by over 20 years user, and that it was
the duty oft city to cause said alley to be
permanently opened. The matter was refer
red to a special committee, consisting of
Aldermen Bailey, Stebbens and Simmons.
The questions of sidewalks also occupied a
large share Of tle attention of the council.
Those which received a favorable action were
as follows: First, a new sidewalk on the
east side of Main St., opposite |. NJ. Waits
second, the high sidewalks over ravines where
the lot owners were seeking aid from the city
to bear a portion of their expenses; third,
the extention of the sidewalk on Main Street
on the north side of the river, to the north
city limits and to the north side of Colonel
Howe's residence. This elected warm dis
cussion pro and con. 1t was claimed by rep
resentatives of the Second Ward that there
were other matters of much more importance
to be done in that ward, that their streets
needed surveying and opening, buildings and
fences were obtruded into the streets, and
owners would soon be claiming title by oc-
cupancy. This brought out Alderman Hoff-
man!in a second speech of telling force, in
which his opponents were Utterly annihelated
with his biting sarcasm, and palpable hits.
He depicted in graphic style, the muddy
sloughs and sandy obstruction that met the
daily toiler who was obliged to founder over
this street to his daily labor, and triumphant
ly turning to his north ward brethren he re-
minded them that they had built their school
houses, erected their churches at twenty
thousand dollars expense on the south of this,
and established their cemetery on the north
of it, yet they could get to neither without
passing through purgatory of sand and mud
here the vision of the thing completed rose
before his quickened senses, and touch of
the poetic phrenzy seized the orator, as he
exclaimed, " 1t is big thing, it is a big job,
it is big improvement, it must be done !"
and it was done. The council were carried
by storm-only one solitary no, and faint at
that, stains the record of this brilliant vic
tory

1t is very easy to say of this. or of any other
medicine, 1T is the very best remedy known"
1t is not always so easy to prove it. 1t is, how
ever, exceedingly gratifying to the Proprietor
of this medicine, that, while he declares to the
public that this is most wonderful and effective
specific for Humors, as stated above, he has
abundant proof at hand to sustain his statement.
For sixteen years the HUMoR Doctor has been
manufactured and sold, and every year has
increased the value of its reputation. and tho
amount Gifts sales. In New Hampshire, where it
originated, no remedy for humors is SO highly
priced. An eminent physician (now an army surg
eon) when practising in New Hampshire, purch-
ased between fifty and sixty gallons of it, during
some seven eight years. and used it in his prac-
tics lie has since then ordered for the hospital
where he was stationed. Other physicians have
purchased it, and have used it in practice with
great success. When the Proprietor lived in New
Hampshire, at GoffStown Centre, for the space Of
thirty or forty miles around, and in Manchester
particularly, the HUMoR Doctor was we'll known
and highly valued for the numerous and wonder
full cures which it reflected. Though manufactured
in large quantities the supply was frequently
exhausted, and purchasers, had to wait for more
to be made. In that region some very severe cases
OF Eryslpelas were treated whit and they were
cured Erysipelas sores. or carbuncles, those ugly
painful ulcers, were entirely removed wherever
this medicine was faithfully used. So it was with
Scrofula and Salt Rheum. The HUMoR DocToR
cured them.
