The Hydraulic Power.

M. JovRShL, In the history II q plass, a.
we'll 40 in the lie of man, there " current 81
events which II taken At ths A1od miy lead 10
fortune.
10 the application sfthia say ing ,o the aEAirs
otthis village, 1T may b. truly stated that Ito
present aud slso its failure prospects were never
Ola more promising character. nush prospects
are presented BY the incll advantages which
e1ist here aui also from the fact that the city
OF Toledo and this reaisn Of the MAuaee VALLEY
A. identified with II must Of necessity beesms
an important center Of commercial and minu-
featuring enterprise. SO far as Toledo Is con.
esrned these results are as inevitable as the
laws Of fate. Their eonso quenco to Psrrysburg
will be more Or.less speedily attained As its oit-
liens manifest more or less foresight Ani unity
OF purpose.
Should manufacturing enterprise be speedily
developed at this point Il will be found that
population will increase rapidly and productive
wealth will exert an influence, which will prove
beneficial to all classes. or this there can
be no question. If such anticipatlans are cor-
rect, ii becomes the duty Of citizens 10 adopt
such measures as may effect their speedy reali.
zation. To this end there is no resource more
effective than that which may be furnished BY
the hydraulic power which the proprietor Of the
PerrySburg Canal proposes to supply to manu-.
iac,uring enterprise as a mstive power. The
speedy completion Of this important imprsvS-
ment on the plan which has been projected
should be af paramount importance to mer-
chants, mechanics and the citizens at large. In
The beneficial results aecruing from 1t all will
parsRke and none more so than the hsldsrs Of
property through which the canal passes.
Taking tue property owned by tho Hayes
Brothers as an illustration, II may be said with
the u.m 'st certainty that its value will be in
creased at least one hundred per cent. BY the
canal passing through it. Its close proximity
to the river anl tho excellent fall presented for
mill-raess furnishes some Of the best sites for
| the establishment Of manufactsriss that can be
| found in this locality. Possessing such Advan.
taEes yet ii is strange to say that these very
gentlemen are presenting legal inpediments tc
the speedy completion Of tina canal. Instead sI
cordially aiding Mr.. Brown in the completion %
a work which will enrich them more than an
uthsr Of eur citizens, they are attempting to en-
join him from proceeding on the plea Of sscur.
ing compensation for damages which may b:
! su,tiiusd.
II such action has been prompted BY gentle
mon si the law we may regard with pity III,
foslishnsss Of clients and the total absence o
anything like public spir: on the part Of thsi
advisors. Mr. Brswn has demonstrated his ia
,en;ion Of accomplishing this important work II
a successful and speedy manner and is therefore
entitled to the cordial and hearty support Of al
public-Spiritsd citizens And We sincerely hsPI
that the MsIsrI. Hayes. who in the main are
sonsidsrsss and thOuxhlful men, may reeOusids
their action in this matter, aud instead OF oppos
ing, AIii in the completion "f this impsrt>nI hy
