the Council to clean up and remove all rubbish !
and filth from back yards and other premises.
See notice of Chief Engineer the order Is for re-
combuslible material as aguard against
fire on the 4th but 1t should have sanitary |
bearing also, we imagine, II the Chief Engi-
neer can settle the question between wholesome
vnd unwholcsome nusanccs.
WORKING OF HIaHwAYs-An effort was I
made to get the tax list into the hands Of the !
supervisors, this year, at an early day, to OBJ
vate the objection of working the roads late |
in the season. Those lists, we suppose, are all |
ready received, and yet we see no movements
indicating determination to avoid the evil
complained of, and working the roads early in
the season. Can't our trustees use little
wholesome influence in this direction, and jog
these long winded supervisors
REAL ESTATE TRANsFER--M. II. and d. |
w. Haskell and T. A. Dorman have purchased
within day or two, tract of about 81 acres
belonging 10 L. NJ. Crosby, and fronting on
the Round Head road near the round house, |
for which they pay the sum of $4,000 and al
low beside a reserve of one-sixth interest to
the seller. The tract is to be cut through from
the front with 60 #. street, and is to be'pat-
ted off into building lots of the size of 60x200
feet. On the west the tract abuts the farm of
r. W. Griswold, and purchases by Messrs. Tai
colt, and Strong & Manning, who contemplate
laying out another 60 feet road TO the ridge
cutting the ridge Dad on the west line of The
A. d. Strong farm. west of the cider mill, so
that this tract will have the advantage of II
continuous highway-with a right angle
running from the round head TO the ridge.
RUNAwAYs-The horse of MOORE and Bro
attached TO the business wagon of the firm,
on Saturday afternoon last, undertook
the task of time trip through main street,
while it was strung along on both sides
with continuous lines of various descriptions
of vehcics. In front of Hubbard's Hardw are
store, the animal took TO the sidewalk, leav.
ing the wagon disabled in the gutter, where
one of the thills was driyen into the hinder
parts of J. ii. WOodman's mare severely if
not fatally wounding the poor animal
The lady of Roger Griswold, while driving
the old family dObbin, with Mrs. Hopkins, on
the ridge near A. d. Strongs'the other day,
the usually very proper animal started on
run, and 10 the attempt to hold him up the
bits broke and left the ladies without help.
One of them was quite seriously injured.
AS Mrs. Markell and her mother, Mrs. Wat
rous, were driving down the Harmon hill, the
horse ran and threw both ladies out near the
iron bridge. Mrs. Markell escaped with slight
abrasions, but Mrs. Watrous had the lower
arm fractured.
