q We sometimes meet with men
who seem to think that any indulgence
in an affectiOnate feeling is weakness.
They will return from journey and
greet their families with distant dig
nifty, and move among their children
with the cold and lofty splendor of an
iceberg, surrounded by its broken frag-
ments. There is hardly a more un-
natural sight on earth than one of these
families without heart. A father had
better extinguish boys eyes than to
take away his heart. Who that has ex-
perienced the joys of friendship, and
values sympathy and affection, would
not rather lose all that is beautiful in
natures scenery than be robbed of the
hidden treasurers of the heartq Cher
ish, then, your hearts best affection.
Indulge in the warm and gushing
emotions of the filial, paternal and fra
ternal love.-Miss MuIoch.

THAT Gas Contract.

At the meeting of the Council on the
evening Of the 9Th inst, q proposition
from the Gas Co. was read in which the
company offered to furnish all the il
Illuminating fluids for the street, oil and
gas lights, Al in number, and take the
entire care of them for 20 nights in month
for $25. The Council was greatly pleased
with this generous offer, and the gas ques-

the Co. in accordance with the proposition.
The Council proceedings were published in
last weeks TELEGRAPH, and then there
was howl from the company, they claim
ing the offer was $75 instead Of $25. An

resemblance to twenty. At the following
meeting held last Saturday evening the
Gas. Co. offered another proposition which
is published among our Council proceed
ings in another column.

The Preliminary Survey.


The Council Committee on Harbor and
Wharyes has accepted the proposition Of
David Sloan, C. E., to make preliminary
survey and estimate of the cost Of the pro-
posed improvements to Ashtabula Harbor.
His proposition is to make an accurate
survey and map of the territory on both
sides of the channel from the lower end Of
the lower dock Of the L. S. & NJ. S. to the
point where the Government pier begins;
the map will show positions of docks,
buildings etc., as they now are; to locate
channel line on the east side of the river,
distant $50 feet, or any other specified dis
tanee from the dock fronts or other known
peints on the vest side of the river; to fix
the positions of the points which may be
established in the east channel line by re-
ference to Others set in secure positions so
as not to be disturbed, so that the channel
lines can easily be reproduced at any time
after the original points are dredged out;
to determine accurately the quantity Of
land necessary for right of way of channel
which may be required from every lot
fronting on the proposed improvement;
10 make accurate cross sections of the
ground and river bed. the sections TO be
taken ten feet apart and sounding once
in ten feet on the line of section, so far as
may be necessary to secure depth Of six
teen feet below low water mark: to make
soundings to rock where not over sixteen
feet below low water mark; to make care
full estimate Of quantities of earth and
rock to be excavated by dredging; to show
upon the map the positions of all points
in the established line, all reference points,
with distances marked in figures and all
angles given; also the position and eleva-
tion of every sounding taken croSs-section-
ing, and the positions of land lines and
buildings affected by the work, with dis
tancss and quantities marked in figures;
in short to do the work in such a manner
that any other engineer can easily COM
plete the estimate and determine a part or
whole of the work to be done, all for the
price of S7S.75.
The work will be commenced Immediate
ly and the map and report submitted to
the Council.

Council Items.

It was Sunday morning when the Coun-
ell adjourned at its last meeting.
The next regular meeting of the Coun-
Gil will meet next week Wednesday evening.
The tax levy as published in another
column is made mills instead of 81 mills
as last year.
At the meeting of the Council last Sat-
urdsy evening a committee was appointed
to engage an engineer to ascertain about
the cost Of making the proposed i'm
provements to Ashtabula HarbOr; after
these preliminary steps are completed it is
expected to put the question of bonding
the village to vote. The expense to the
village is, however, not expected to be
large as the assistance rendered by the rail-
roads will be considerable.
The following resolution was sent up to
the Clerks desk by the Comm. on Printing,
at the last meeting, for reading, but owing
to the latsness Of the hour it was not con-
sidered. 1t will be read at the next meet
ing and probably adopted:
Resolved, That hereafter the public
printing be equally divided among the
three papers of this village, or as nearly
so as 1t can be done, and it shall be the
duty of the Clerk to see the matter to be
printed be put into the hands of the dit
ferent publishers from time to time, di-
Tidhg as above indicated.

Mrs. ]. W. Haskell and Mrs. A. Picket,
had narrow escape at the crossing Of the
west limb Of the Y on Depot Street, q few
days since. An approaching train threat
ened a collision and put Mrs. H.-who was
driving-in DOUBT whether to back, or go
forward. The first effort was to back, but
the sudden descent of the enbankment,
showed it to be hazardous, and that de-
cison was changed, to spur up the horse
and go over. This was accomplished, but
being Of philosophical turn Of mind the
horse turned to get sight of and better un-
derstanding Of the row. In doing this the
carriage was partially upset and the ladies
turned out-Mrs. Haskell without injury,
and Mrs. Picket with a severe wrench or
sprain Of the ankle. The horse started and
ran short distance, and was caught with
out injury to itself or the party-but the
carriage was somewhat demoralized.
