house, wo find the water perfectly clear
and pure.
Your committee being fully aware Of
the responsibility they had to encounter,
and having common interest with their
fellow-citizens in supply Of water
free from impurities, determined to
make thorough examination, other
than what had come under their own
observation. Accordingly. We had seve-
raj citizens, convcrsant with the water
works, connections and outlets, sum-
moned before us. From this source, we
were unable to procure any information
differing from what we had ourselves
discovered. The statements made in
this examination being conflicting sup.
positions and opinions, unsupported by
facts. We have, therefore, come to the
conclusion that tho report OF impure
water being furnished to tho city is not
sustained, and have no doubt that it
originated from the waste water in the
low grounds, under the impression that
it was conveyed to the main reservoir; :;
and, therefore. feel no hesitation in say
ing that the water Supplied is as free
from impurities as it was under the for
mer regulation Of the city. We, how
ever, suggest to the proper authorities
the propriety Of having the water in the
reservoirs in Sidney Park drawn there
from,a and the bottoms thoroughly
cleansed.
We further suggest that the hydrants
in the streetss at various points be open
ed every two weeks, in order to cleanse
them from the sediments which must
necessarily hnd It's way into them. All
of which is respeotf0lly submitted.

The track of the Northern Pacific

A line of steamers is established between

ton, with military escort under General
Stanley, will start West on the 10th in

final and definate location of the new
line of the road from the crossing of the
Missouri to the crossing of the Yellsw-

Montana, this beng the only portion of
the route not yet determined. No seri-

JUNE TRAINING.-A- noted Vermont
local historian must have been sadly
mixed when he characterized the annual
" June training" as venerable old
humbug-admirable burlesque of every
thing military" His excuse and justifi-
cation for such language may, however,
perhaps, be found in the fact that he
wrote before the year of grace one thou
sand eight hundred and seventy-three.
1t is true that, yesterday, the village was
not "alive with men and boys" that the
"taverns," stores and shops were. not
! full; that the bar-ksepers in their
shirt-sleeves" were not doing a lively
business" and the music of the toddy-
stick was not incessant neither was
blackstrap popular with the young
men and boys, yet, it was q" June train
ing" nevertheless. Z" Venerable old
hnmbug" or not, "June training is, and
always has been, an Institution, and has
certified its usefulness ON many battle
field in defence Of the country. When
we consider the diminutive parade of
yesterday, we almost sigh for the good
old days, when continued popping of
fire arms" was kept up from the early
hours of the morning until long after
the "hour of early candle-light' in the
evening. That the village was not filled
with an admiring crowd of spectators,
that blackstrap did not flow freely, and
that the military parade was not larger
and more demonstrative, is the fault-if
fault it is-of the age, the people, their
principles and laws. Comparing "June
training" of 1873 with that of half a
century ago, would present a beggarly
show on the side of spectators, militia
force and intoxication, but would more
than compensate for the loss in sObriety,
order, military drill and soldierly bear
ing. The score of militia who turned
out yesterday, in obedience to law, and
in compliance with orders, is no retleC.
ton on the officers and men, but rather
on the system. Their whole conduct
from sunrise to sunset, was Creditable tc

of New York and John McMahon OF
Rutland would wrestle in Gothic Hall
in Adams street, Brooklyn, Friday mgh''
crowded the streets and saloons in that
neighborhood.
Shortly before eight o'clock Homer
Lane and Mcmahon came within the
circle. Mcmahon wore rubber shoes.
Lane was in his stocking feet. They
were to throw the best two out of three,
Mr.. Costello was appointed umpire for
Lane. Mr.. Meagher for Mcmahon. Pat.
Kelley was selected as referee.
For ten minutes after taking hold the
men danced around, each touching the
others leg with his foot, playing for an
! opening. The betting was even. Circle

Homer's froni under him, essayed to fling

Lane had Mcmahon most on his back.
After desperate struggle, both having

The wrestle was finally won by Lane.
Lane tripped Mcmahon, who, however,
recovered himself and went to work. AT

Mahon passing his foot under the others
feet, bringing him almost to the moor.

toppling him over and extending him
flat on his back.
The excitement at this point was IN
