Whereupon the Mayor referred the matter TO
the City Surveyor, who returned the following
answer:

Hon. Id Pilsbury, Mayor:
Si,-Arcordng TO your instructions have en-
amined the wi hin inclosed complaint and have to

Another Anonymous communication has been
received by the Mayor purporting to be from 3
stranger who has Travelled extensively, and not
yet made fortune anywhere. comparing our

which be hes visite1. IL would seem that this IL
not the flrst time that mysterious sarcastic come
muniea ans have been sent TO the Msvor, their

however, he is not willing 70 communicate just

planned yesterday that cisternmsker obstructs

very lenient towards all the tradespeope, and 10
merchants 10 we'll. for he says it IL On indication
OF growing prosperity that sufficient room for
storage should not be found for all their goods
and wares within their esta blishmsnts. For his

warm. Mr.. Hazard thinks the churn
should be nearly straight up and down.
and that the dash should stir all the
milk every stroke it makes, so that the
butter should all come at the same
time. Care should be taken that the
dash shall strike the top of the cream
and the bottom of the churn at every
stroke. If the churn be filled so that
the dash cannot strike the top of the
cream the operation can hardly be &C
complished. Rapid motion, which
should be avoided at the commence
ment, may be accelerated after the
cream curdles with butter. The best

Ten little years ago. dear love,
Ten little years, no more,
That happy morning came, like which
None ever dawned before:

Wore all her gladdeSt charms;
That morning when the heavens came down
And claSped US in its arms;
That morning when.upon your hand,
Your hand SO white and small,
| placed the symbol of our love
Frail bond il that were all
Some words know were said, a vow
Was given, prayer. kiss,
And through and over all strange
Confused sense of bliss
They have been very happy years,
Happy and glad and true:
| will not think what life had been
To me unblessed by you;
And every day bless that day
Whose tender. roseate glow
Has never faded yet, dear wife,
Full we'll we both do know.
Twas not the words the parson said
That made us one: the years,
With all their many. many joys.
Their triumphS losses, tears
The years, with all they have denied,
And all that they have given
OF good and i'll the little one
Waiting for us in heaven
Have all been llfe'S true ministers.
And helped to make us one;
So may it be until the end
Till all our work is done!
Then, in the perfect summer-land,
The love begun in this.
Shall bloom forever on the high

A FRENCH physician has long dis
sertation on the advantages of grooming
and crying in general, and especially
during surgical operations. He con-
tends that groaning and crying are two
grand operations by which nature al
lays anguish; that those patients who
give way to their natural feelings more
speedily recover from accidents and
operations than those who suppose it
unworthy man to betray such symp
toms of cowardice as either to groan or
cry. He tells of man who reduced
his pulse from one hundred and twenty
six to sixty in the course Of a few hours
by giving full vent to his emotions. In
accordance with the above, the crying
of children should not be too greatly
discouraged. If it is Systematically re
pressed, the result may be st. Vitus's
dance, epileptic fits, or some other dis
ease of the nervous system, What is
natural is nearly always useful; and
nothing can be more natural than the
crying of children when any thing oc-
ours to give them either physical or
mental pain.

H;W Rubber Boots are Made.

The gum used is imported directly
from Africa, South America and Central
America, that from Ce1lsdl America be-
ing the best, while the African gum is
the poorest The raw gum, which is
nearly white, is ground several times
between immense huted iron rollers,
after which it passes through the COM
position room, which process is secret,
but when i comes out the gum has the
black appearance of common rubber.
The next process is that of passing the
rubber between chilled iron cylinders,
of many tons weight, which are kept
very hot and very smooth. A part of
the rubber intended for "uppers " is
he-e spread upon and fastened to long
sheets of cloth. The heels and taps
are stamped out of sheets of gum Of
the required thickness. The rubber
cloth is now carried to the cutters room,
where it is cut out and sent to the boot
makers.
The boots are made by men, the shoes
or ordinary rubbers by girls, while the
overshoes are made by either One
man will make twelve or fourteen pairs
of boots day, and receive twenty cents

they are placed in an oven where, for
twelve hours, they are subjected to a
temperature of 800 de rees. They are
then ready for boxing and shipping. In
one factory about four thousand pairs
of boots, rubbers and overshoes are
turned out daily.

APPEARANCE OF THE DEvIL.-If the
Germaania, an ultramontane journal, is
to be believed, the recent question Of
the personality of the devil is finally
settled There were recently a series
of manifestations of the virgin at
Dittrichswalde. The cure now writes
to say that the apparitions have been
varied by visits from quite another
person. On the very tree on which the
virgin was accustomed to show herself
to the devout volume of fire suddenly
darted up, developed into distinct but
apparently indescribable form, jumped
clean over the church, descended on
the other side in the shape Of a fire ball
and disappeared. Dittrichswalde is, as
may be supposed, in state of great
excitement at this active opposition on
the part of Satan, and the price of
beds in the place is beginning to go up
rapidly
