CHERRY STREET.

There IL no east and west street in

md few tina. can equal it in the mum
beI aud elegance of fine private resi-
dences. built along both sides of the
way all along back to Eighth street.
For this reason. If no other. i, is fitting
that the street should receive a little
better attention in respect to some i'm
portrait matters Of convenience and by
giene. There is no lamp on the street
above Front street. yet in addition To
the fact iha, there is heavy
throng Of travel along the blocks from
the water front IN Fourth street, there
is PERCEPTIONS place a. the Third street
crossing aud a number of awkward logs
in the sidewalk. where, on dark nights,
pcdestrians who are not as familiar with
the locality IS Mark Twain's pilot was
with the channel Of the Mississippi. are
in jeopardy of life or limb. There is
no point in the city where lamp is
more needed than there.
Another unpleasant, feature O, the
street Is the want of sewerage. The
house drainage Of thu, part of
OF the city discharges along the side
walk between Second and Third streets
and ditfases redolence that i. more
savory than agreeable The health Of
the city and its credit abroad demand a

A New York telegram of the 9th says
that there was . substantial increase of
business in nearly every department during
last week, and though there was no such
activity rs We were accustomed to at this
period Of the year during the initiation era,
gains arise so solid and substantial as to in
spire in the mercantile mind degree Of
hopefulness and courage which is in con-
spicuous contrast with the dependency Of
the first half of the year. The dispatch
says further: Nor is this feeling local. 1t
is almost as broad as the continent itself, as
is attested by the reports received from all
parts Of the west, south, and east. The i'm
provement cover. the trade in manufactures
of all kinds, in produce, raw materials, and
all the necessaries of life. But is needless
to enter into details where the evidence
is so common and direct as to have escaped
the attention OF no one who pays any atten-
tion to such matters. This improvement
has for its basis the fullness OF the harvests,

The latest information from Maine in
dicates majority offrom 5000 to 10000 for
Connor, republican candidate for governor,
over Williams, democratic. Gov. Counor's
majority last year was about $1,000. The
republicans also elect all but two of the
state senator's and probably three fourths of
the lower house. This gives the democrats
a gain of one senator over last year and no
gain nor loss in the house of representa-.
tives As this is the off year in politics the
result is not particularly cheering to the
democratic party. In 1874 the democrats
elected three state senators and over one
half of the representatives,, while the repub-
lican candidate for governor had majority
of about II, 900 votes Last year being the
presidential year full vote was polled,
bringing to the republican party larger
majority that resulted from last Mondays
election. The result of the late contest has
been watched for with . lively interest.
There were many who predicted an unpre-
cedented falling off in the republican ma
jority in Maine. But the returns show that
there has been no radical change in politi-
cal sentiment there. The state is still over.
whelmingly republican.

honor Of a Mormon elder, you have it, but
after DR.. Kane, the celebrated artic ex-
plorer. I brought DR.. Kane up here on a
steamboat. He came up as government
commissioner to investigate the Mormons,
and not finding them as bad az they had
been represented, he made very favorable
report on his return, and the Mormons, who
thought considerable of him on that account,
changed the name Of the place from Miller's
Hill to Kanesviile. Your dates as to these
changes are about correct"
