AS farmer in aneighboring town was
getting in his hay, he noticed an unusul Il
commollon among the swallows, which
had built long row of nests under the
caves of his barn. They appeared greatly
excited, flying rapidly about and 1illing
the air with their cries OF distress. AS
the load OF hay upon which he was rid
ing passed into the barn, he saw that a
young swallow in a nest directly over
the door had caught his neck in a crack
between two shinkles and was unable
to liberate itself. He stopped his team
and set the young bird tree, restoring it
to the nest. Upon his return to the barn
with his next load OF hay, noticing that
the swallows were quiet, he examined
the crack, ami found tnat they had filed
it compile ely with mud, so that no matter
how enterprising or how tooiisn tile
young swallow might be. ne could not
again endanger his life or the peace Of
tnat community by any experiments
upon that crack.

polished and tcketed with very high

well, and is generally deficient in all
sterling qualities. Tue prices of such
commodities are pretty well regulated

Duke; II Marquis may be had for half as
much; Count Of good old legitimate

day and general discussion of the az
fairs Of the road and its future prospects
took place. Watkins and Jewett agreed
that money spent to renovate the line
should be under the supervision OF a
committee exercising absolute control;
also that the Erie and Atlantic e
Great Western Roads should be worked
together.
Mr.. Jewett said the Erie broad gauge
had cost more than narrow gauge
without increasing the capacity Of the
line. The road had not always been
honestly managed, but he would not at
tribute all faults TO the managers in
America as wrong often originated in
England. Regarding the future, he said,
If the gauge was narrowed and steel rail
laid, the line could be worked with the
same economy as other lines. Mr.. Jewett
advocated altering the cars to avoid
transhipment; also, laying third steel
rail from Buffalo to New York.

CINCINNATI, July 10. 1876.


erage Committee:
CINCINNATI, July 13. 1876.
The Honorable Board Of Public Works:
GENTLEMEN-In regard to the sewer
applied for by the citizens owning prop
erty on Cassatt alley have the honor to
make the following report:
l would recommend that the authority
asked FOR be granted only Oil the condi.
ton that if it should ever become neces-
sary to build sewers on Woodward and
Abigail streets the present petitioners
shall consent to pay their assessments
thereon, the same as if the sewer now
asked for had never been built.
When an agreement to this effect has
been signed by all the property owners
i'll Cassatt alley, l would then recon-.
| mend that the ground be examined with
| view of constructing the sewer.
Such sewers as this should not be con-
structed until a complete plan OF sewer
age for the whole district has been elab-
\ GRATED. 1t should be remembered that
| the expense Of q sewer does not
end with the cost of its construc.
tion; the repairs and cleaning consti-
tute heavy item of expense to the city
| every year. L is therefore desirable to
| build the least amount OF sewers that
| will do the required work; and the
city has rigut to prohibit the
building of an excessive num-
Der, even if she is entirely relieved Of
the cost Of their construction. But In
order to prepare within a reasonable
time complete plans Tor the sewerage Of
every district in the city large in
crease in the working force
Of this office would be required-larg n,
fear, than the public sentiment would
| tolerate. Yet this is the only course
consistent with economy. The present
system, "from hand to mouth" must
involve the ciLy in heavy loss
during the next few years, and perma-
nently increase the cost Of maintaining
the sewers. Either one system or the
other ought, however, TO be determined
upon. Iu this case, in view of the
fact that under the present
| arrangements, some time must elapse
before the petitioners can obtain relief,
L have recommended the above as COM
promise.
Respectfully submitted,
A. l.. ANDERSON,
Chiet Engineer.

ship, to shut down on some unsusDect-

where and seemed to stay nowhere, and
wherever he went that clam was sure to
follow. Finally the clam was broken,
