sizes. all separated, and has handsome
picture or ten. JOE JOHNS0N, or zen.

Our fellow-citiZen, J. D. SARvEN.
patented one Of the most valuable in
ventions ever invented, viz: the "Sarven
Buggy Wheel" This wheel is on al
most every buggy made in the U. S.,
and Mr.. SARvEN receives royalty of
800 on every buggy, which brings him
an income of about 10000 year. Only
a few manufactures are allowed to
make these wheels, and all the minor
buggy factories are compelled to pur-
chase from them.
Last week the pumps were dry, and
the citizens without cisterns or wells
were in bad condition. The cause OF
this was that the river was SO low that
it would not turn the big Wheel" and
the reservoir being small concern, the
water was soon all exhausted. We
have hitherto called the attention of the
City Fathers to the inadequate size OF
the Reservoir, but it was breath wasted,
It seems. II being compelled to send
half mile for water about dozen times
a year will not cause them to act in the
matter, words were worse than useless.
