THE CITY AND THE MINT WOOD
PILES.

1t is a pity that the gift made by our citi-
zens to the United States Government for a
Mint site had not been of sufficient area, in
land, to accommodate all the present and pros
pective needs of that institution That the
lands belonging to the Mint are of insufficient
extent has been evident ever since serious OPP
erations were begun therein. Not only has it
been necessary to pile the cord-wood needed
for making steam, IN the street t" the north
and west of the Mint, but the construction of
a building across the railway track, for the
reception of the residuum from the acid
houses has also been found to be among the
Inconvenience entailed by these cramped pro
portions Yesterday Superintendent Cra~
ford received the following communication
from the City Clerk:
Ordered that the city Clerk notify the Su-
perintendent of the .. S. Branch Mint that
he will be restricted to the piIing of 100 cords
of wood in the public streets, and that per-
nit for such of the streets, will expire at the
end of three months from and after this date.

order was made by the Board of Trustees OF

entered in the records of said Board; and that

Witness my hand this 18th day of j une 1873.

In reply to this order Mr. Crawford trans
mtted note of which the following is a copy:

June IS, 1873. J
SIR: | am in receipt of a copy of the City
Trustees Order, under date of 10th instant,
prohibiting me from piling Government wood
on the street adjoining the L. S. Mint in this |
city
This order shall be complied with after the
consumption of the supply now on hand, and
in future provisions will be made to store the
wood within the Mint inclosure.
Very Respectfully,
James Crawford, Supt.
To Alfred Helm, City Clerk
Now we know Just how desirable it is that |
all parties, high and low, be compelled to OBJ
serve the town ordinances whose object it is
to secure an unobstructed passage of our
streets; but when, in compliance with this Or
der, the handsome Mint yard, now so green
and pleasant to look upon. is converted into a
wood piling place, to the destruction of the
grass and the unsightliness of those grounds,
We shall regret that circumstances have con-
pired to so unfortunate a result

Other "episodes" in the township, but

1t rains all night and then showers
next day at rather short intervals for US
to rush farming operations.
Oats are looking finely and there is
an uncommonly large area sown.
Winter wheat looks more promising each
coming day. Garden "trash" doing
nicely and better prospect for fruit Of
all kinds was never known.

from to 35 acres of fax. There will
be large increase in acreage of all

Mr.. Holiday will sell at public
auction on next Saturday his household

move to Iowa to live.
The prospect for all kinds of fruit in
this vicinity was perhaps never better
than now. But little wheat was sown
last fall. Owing to the wet weather
during last month farmers have been
late in sowing oats, but the prospect now
is good. REPORTER.

A PRDONABLE PRIDE

Prompts most people to delay, by any
laudable means that science affords, the
evidence of physical decay. Who that
is not in perfect health would not match
the bright eye, the active mind, and
other appearances of youthful vigor,
with the luxuriance, the rich color and
the beauty of youthful hair? Psrkcr's
Hair Balsam stands pre-eminent as an
elegant hair dressing, and by its health
full action on the roots not only promotes
q luxuriant growth Of the young hair,
but unfailingly restores gray or faded
hair to the original youthful color, giving
a soft, rich, and lustrous appearance OF
great beauty. No other preparation 50
efFectually removes dandruf or stops
falling of the hair its cooling and heal
ing action entirely curing itching and
humors Of the scalp, and keeping the
skin clean, white and healthy. 1t is
perfectly harmless, exquisitely perfumed
and contains nothing that will soil the

purity. Buy bottle from your druggist,
