By reference to the proceedings of the
Board Of Super visors it will be seen that
that honorable body have granted the
petition Of VIM. Goldsmith and 81 others,
and thereby authorized the name of that
place to be Milan instead of Camden Mills.
We think the name good enough for some
ancient, dilapidated Italian city, but decid-
edly two obsolete for use on the American
continent

conservation of the Bishop of Trinity

We take the following item from the
Davenport Gazette:
We regret to learn that it has finally
been considered necessary 10 abandon the
work on pier No. 5. Major Stickney has
done oil that human skill and energy could
doato push the work to completion before
the cold weather set in, but the mighty tide
of the Mississippi, and its trescherous he'd,
has gained temporary victory. The bolts
which held the sides Of the Golfer dam
together gave way, and let the water in
faster than two steam pumps could bail it
out, aud yesterday noon, after thorough
inspection of the works, It was decided to
abandon operations until an entirely new
Golfer dam is constructed. This will proba.
bly, be an impossibility this winter, and
should it prove so, the completion of the
stone work will be delayed until next spring.
The examination yesterday revealed the
fact that there we're fifteen feet of water and
nine feet of mud to be disposed of before
the bottom of the river could DO reached.
