cation here, but urging that his repeated call

citation on Monday evening, Mr.. Wilson, from
the railroad committee, reported that the art.
cles of the incorporation of the proposed rail-
road had been recorded in La Ialle, Grundy and
Kankakcc counties, and asked whether it would
not be well to also record In Livingston, so that,
II advisable, connection might be maze with
the Plymouth, Kankakce Il Pacific L. r. Co. He
thought it unadyisable to open books of sub
scription before next spring. The same opinion
was held by the President and others. On mo-
ton, the committee were instructed 10 record
the instrument above alluded to in Livingston
county.
Mr.. Porter stated that Porter and Mason were
now manufacturing for Mr.. Nichols, and he (Mr.
P) thought it probable that Mr.. \. would locate
here in the spring
The President thought that expressions made
by our citizens Of distrust Of the Water Power
Company and of our city had very injurious eff
feet He also thought no guarantees should be
expected or required of the company,
A rather dscursive discussion relative to the
Water Power Company was participated in by
Messrs Sweetser DR.. Stout, Porter, the PreSi.
dent and Secretary.
Mr. Wilson said he had visited the Illinois
river dam, and was OF the opinion that the work
was being done in very substantial manner.
The President reported that Mr.. +. I. June
President of the Sherwood School Furniture
Company, had called upon him. Mr.. June stated
that his company had determined to move from
Chicago. Believed that he could manufacture
more cheaply here than in Chicago Woult
employ from one hundred to one hundred ant
twenty five men, and a capital of 100000. lie
had an offer Of $4,000 from some Illinois city
Proposed to come here and would like to know
what we would do.
Mr.. Radcliffe stated that he had been present
Junes project had been discussed. The people
had investigated as to the establishment, and
believed it to be desirable. Had confidence in
Mr.. June, but he believed Joliet would offer nc
considerable bonus.
On notion the Secretary was authorized to
offer Mr.. June water rent and two acres of land
for ten years, providing he would locate here as
above. Modified by leaving the matter discre.
tionary with the President and Secretary.
Mr.. Radcliffe offered the following preamble
and resolutions, which were unanimously adopt
ed, viz:
WHEREAS, \ financial crisis is upon Us and
our people are lahoring under serious Difficult
ties on account Of a general scarcity of money
therefore,
Resolved, That our member of Congress be re-
ouested to favor the reissue of the Si4 100000 OF
ereenbacks now retired by Secretary McCulloch
ReSolucd, That q free banking law ought TO be
enacted allowing any man possessing the re-
ausite capital to engage in banking, said law to
be so enacted as to thoroughly and safely pro.
tect the hill holders and at the same time rcir-

in a loud state Of conviviality. The other boys,
all of them slept in the store, got III first hid be-
hind the counter, and when our brave clerk en-
tered and had locked himself in--in the dark,
they pOunccdupon him and demanded his money
or his life and the safe key and 20 know where
the money drawer was kept. The poor youth
was frightened out Of his wits, and bnbhcred
"Oh" Che is a Tcutonl " Donncrwctter--I gives
you cycrythings what got, only spare my life"
They sworc at him; they shook him; they would
have his blood; and here one of them discharged
a revolver out Of the back door. The poor
youngstcr fell upon his knees and begged for
his life. One of the rutllans, there were two
proposed to knife him, but gave him moment

4 New CIRCULATING MISUNDERSTANDING these
"tight times" which come partly from the re
cent panic, our sister city of Marsclles seemed to
be hard up for any sort of Il circulating me
dunn until lately, when Il man OF genius struck
upon a sort that is excellent. The thing works
in this way: The printer owes his grocer, and
having pig to dispose Of whicl, he took on sub.
scription, turns said porkcr over in payment.
The grocer owes the shoemaker, and drives the
pig to the disciple of st. Crispin in payment
The shoemaker owes the miller for Hour, and the
pig is sent to the mill The miller owes the doc
tor for visits to his children, and sends the pig
TO the NJ, ID. The NJ ID. is indebted to the drug.
pi,t for worm medicine which he gave to the
children, and the porcine quadrupcd is driven to
the drug store The drusgcr owes the jcwerer
for mending his wifc's wedding ring, which, ow-
ing to several years OF coniugal felicity has be-
come damaged and needs repairs. The icweer
owes the hotel keeper for board, and the pig is
sent to the hotel, The hotel owes the butcher
for meat, and the pig, now having become hog,
Is sent to the butcher and slaughtered, and sold
on " tick" By this time this hog is de
ceased, and his little brother, grunter just
weaned, is started out on his rounds, and rlti-
