Hon. Charles Cavanac, Administrator OF Com
MERGE
Dear Sri have the honor to answer your
wharves Of the Third DISTRICT, as follows,
to wit:
1. The lessee of the wharves ia not building
and repairing the wharves OF the Third District
STRICTLY In accordance with specifications OF his
contract, the piles being at greater distances
and no braces being placed; in oil other points
they are in accordance with the contract.
2. The lessee has, In my opinion, sufficient
force Of work to put said wharves in time in
condition to satisfy all the wants Of commerce,
and the wharves already built are of more than
sufficient strength and sizs to receive and support
all the freight to be deposited upon them.
3. The lessee il using sound and good mate.
rial in building and repairing the wharves and
landings of the Third District, and the whsrves
already built and now being built are, as have
heretofore stated, of sufficient size and strength
TO accommodate all the wants of commerce, and
should they be built ten times stronger they
will cave at the next low water of the river, and
will continue 80 to do yearly, until some plan can
be devised by which the caving of the bank can
be forever stopped.
In conclusion, would state that the inhabi-
tants OF this district have had just apprehen-
sionB that the wharves would not be built in time
to meet the necessities of commerce. The lessee
ut that time was engaged repairing the wharves
In the upper districts, where the stationary banks
will allow work TO be made at any stage OF the
water. On or about the beginning Of last Augusta
committee composed OF his honor, the Mayor, Adj
ministrator McCaffrey, yourself and myself, made
. thorough examination OF this district and found
the river banks, as well as the wharves were
cavipg in the most dreadful manner. Work was
begun about the twentieth of August, even too
soon, as several battures caved in after the COM
mencement of the work.
The extent Of the work to be done, together
with the very short space of time allowed me
from the time work could be begun, to the sup
posed arrival of vessels, the 10Th of October, led
me to make those wharves as they are built, to
meet in time the wants of commerce.
remain, very respectfully,
j. A. D'HEMECOURT.

Why did God, our Heavenly Father,
cause flowers to bloom over so large q
portion of the earthf They are not
food, they give no shelter, they furnish
no clothing, they are of no absolute
use, in the common meaning of the
term Wherefore, then, did the earth,
by His command bring forth flowers 2
To beautify it, to enliven it, to fling 9
gladness and brightness over the world !!
What flowers are to the earth, acts of
kindness, of courtesy, OF hospitality,
are to men. How often gentle tone, q
. kind look, an act of unostentatious po.
hteness, generous hospitality, has
filled care-worn soul with peace, a
stricken heart with joy, smitten spirit
with gladness !-Reu Geo c. BaldWin.
The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1877-09-11
a salutary Remark.

When was a young man, there lived
IN our neighborhood a farmer who was
usually reported to be very liberal
man, and uncommonly upright in his
dealings. When he had any of the pro
duce OF his farm to dispose of, he made
! it an invariable rule to give good meas
ure-rather more than would be requir-
ed of him. One of his friends observ-
Ing him frequently doing so, questioned
him as to why he did it; he told him he
gave too much, and said it would be to
his disadvantage. Now, dear reader,
mark the answer of this excellent man :
"God has permitted me but one Jour-
ney through the world, and when l am
gone ! cannot return to rectify mis-
takes" .uolsea3
Z Think of this. There is but one jour
ney through life.
