Representative Kelley has pre-
scented petitions in the Legislature
asking aid in the construction of
the Alpena and Southwestern Rail-
way, and the petitions have been
referred to the appropriate COM
mittees. The building of this road
seems to meet with almost univer-
sal favor from all quarters, and it
is to be hoped that the appropria-
ton asked for will be granted
The Common Council of this city
and the Board of Supervisors of
this county have also petitioned
the Legislature for the grant, know
ing that the construction of the
road would not only be benefit
to Alpena, but also to the State, as
it would tend to settle up portion
of the country where not a white
man often ventures, and it would
bring the State lands into market,
increase the farming and lumber
ing interests, and enhance the
value of property through that
section of the county adjacent to
the road.

ing camps are reported to have
banked six or seven million feet of
logs. This firm have three camps of
their own, and three jobbers engag-

jobbers are Ben. Wright, A. Mer-
ril, and Mulvaney.

the last fall of snow they were
hauling about fifty thousand feet
per day.

The chronic grumbler, down near
the post Office, does not seem to
relish the idea of the Common
Council paying ex-city treasurer,
Thomas Collins, Sl5 for postage
and stationery used for city pur-
poses during his term Of Office
lie has undoubtedly forgotten that
a portion of that expense was oc-
casioned by just such individuals
as the Republican editor, who neg
lected to pay their taxes, and thus
compelled the Treasurer to notify
them that, unless paid by the pro-
per time, they would have to be
returned; and even then they fail
to pay, aud the tax is returned
Does the gumbler for a moment
consider who helped TO cause that
expense TO the city.

Nervoms Preservation.

Americans like Ortogral, of BaSra, de-
sire that the golden stream should be
sudden and violent. and in their anxiety
to acquire wealth, overwhelm themselves
with the cares Of business, until their
oyertaXed systems are broken down un-
der the pressure TO which they are sub
jected. This is one prolific cause Of
nervous diseases so common in this
country. Another and probablya great
er one Is the very general propensity to
run into excess in excitement and the
use Of liquors and tobacco, which soon
ruin the strongest nervous organizations.
Such sufferers have more difficulty in OBJ
tanning relief than almost any other
class. DIR. Radclif's Seven Seals or
Golden Wonder is sovereign remedy
for all nervous affections, no matter how
they were incurred. The worst cases of
nervous debility have been cured with
singular rapidity by its use. The Seven
Seals is purely vegetable compound
containing no poisonous or unwhole-
some ingredients, and acts directly upon
the system. Feb.

Wafer Works.

This is the question that is agita-
ting some of our people at present,
and which will, no doubt, be pre-
scented to our citizens at no distant
day for their rejection or approval.
No one will deny the fact that we
are much in need Of good water
works, and that we all want them ;
and then the next question that
comes up is the cost and means of
paying the expenses incurred by
their establishment, as well as what
kind of water works we should be
supplied with.
In our opinion, the only way
that we can secure good and pure
water, by water works, is to take
it from the bay, and to do this it
would necessitate an expense of
from 100000 to Sl50,000. This
could only be accomplished by the
issuing of bonds for that purpose,
thus greatly increasing the taxes of
our citizens and running the credit
of the city; and we do not believe
that the taxpayers of Alpena are
yet willing to take upon them
selves such heavy burden,--one
that it would take many years of
greatly increased taxation to OBJ
literate.
We know that water works are
by no means to be despi,ed, but
the question that first arises Is, are
the people and taxpayers of Alpe-
ma prepared to saddle the city with
such an enormous debt at the pre-
sent time, when 1t is very hard for
them to pay their taxes, even at
the present rate of taxation : We
think not, and we are of the opin-
ion, after thorough consideration
of the matter, that water works in
Alpena must be a thing Of the flu
ture, aud not of this day; for we
are not now prepared to have our
bonds and city orders fall to from
20 to 80 cents, or less, on the dol
lar, and our city made bankrupt.
The Common Council has already |
passed resolution asking the Leg
islative to introduce an act to
authorize the introduction of water
works in this city and for the man
lgement of the same, and now
what remains to be done Is for our
when the opportunity is
presented, to do all In their power
70 prevent an appropriation being
maize by the city for that purpose.
