CHIcAGo.-The Tribune gives an encourag-
ing account of the business outlook in this
Western city. 1t says the Indebtedness of the
people is less than in 1873 "All over the city,
even to the extreme districts, Improvements
are going on, and there is general activity, all
indicating that, while the extravagant expendi-
lures OF 1873 no longer exists, there is better,
because more substantial and permanent, bust
ness now doing; that, while the short cuts to
ortune have been abandoned, there are more
persons pushing onward along the slower high
roads to comfort and competency"

would respectfully announce that owing to having
my entire time occupied in perfecting and keeping
in order my extensive arrangements for supplying
Salt water for Street Sprinking purposes, have
been unable to obtain any subscrtion whatever and
IT the work is satisfactorily done, shall depend
wholly upon the generosity of those who bene-
fitted thereby to pay the same they did last season.
Those who are dissatisfied with the work who do
not intend to contribute the usual price, will please
notify at once, that the services may be discon-
tinued wonld further announce that it has been
tedious job, shall endeavor to avoid. and shall ask
all who pay SO or less, to pay it when called upon
after the middle OF the season. 1t must be born in
mind that the work is CARED at an expense of
$40 per day for three months without the income of
dollar. Those who pay rest assured that the
work will be faithfully performed to the end. If
would further ask little indulgence, should any
accident happen to the machinery causing delay
hence a little dust. w. I'll. HALL
