II would be impossible, even were 1t desir

subjects which will demand your attention
but there are some which cannot pass with
out brief notice. Prominent among thes,
is the subject of transportation, In which ev

well-founded conviction that the present
modes OF carrying commodities are uselessl,
expensive. The people and the government
have literally aided in the construction OF
railroads and canals in the expectation tha
Increased facilities would result in the cheap

Fish ~ a Destroyer of Mosquitoes.

A few days ago, while taking stroll along
the banks of pond in the neighborhood OF
a large city, we noticed that the water con
tanned vast numbers of the Larvae Of the mos
quito, which were gradually assuming the
fully developed state, much to the annoyance
no doubt, of every one living near. Now, il
our estimation, there are few greater annoy
ances than mosquitoes, and yet it Is easy q
clean them out of any piece of water which
they infest. \ few minnows, or any othe,
kind of small fish, make short work of them
Goldfish are not sufficiently active; common
fish, such as are found in little streams, are
what Is waited. These active little fellows
would gobble up every young mosquito as
soon as he became large enough to be visible
TO the naked eye.--Iadustriol Monthly.

DEATH OF E, w. .WADswoRTH.-Last
week we briefly announced the illness
of Mr.. E. w. Wadsworth, and now it
becomes our sad duty to chronicle his
death. He died at the Anderson
House, in Eaton Rapids, Michigan, at
about four O'Clock, Friday morning,
April 23d, 1875, of consumption of
the lungs and bowels. Deceased was
the eldest son of the late William
Wadsworth. He was born in this
town April 7th, 1919, and had just
passed the 26th year of his age. He
had grown to the years of manhood
in our midst, and was a young man Of
exemplary character and excellent
business habits, and universally loved
and esteemed by all who knew him.
For something over a year he had
been engaged in the hardware bust
ness with his uncle at Jacksonville,
ILL.,, where he was well liked. On the
oath of November last he was united
in marriage with Miss Dora Martin,
of Baltimore, Md, who survives TO
deeply mourn her sad loss. His re-
mains were brought here on Saturday
and his funeral took place at two
O'Clock Sunday afternoon at the resi-
dence OF his mother, on Prospect
street, aud was largely attended by
sympathising friends.
