FIVE present E1-Ald Bateham was called on to
preside. AID. Frank Lawler made statement
as to the present condition Of the viaduct ques-
ton before the Council. He referred to the fact
that no appropriations for viadncts have been
included in the estimates at present submitted,
and that there we're urgent requests for viaducts
SnngAmon streets, ut figures ranging from $50 000
to 800, 600. The viaduct ut Harrison street is
estimated to cost only S6 GOO. Of which the cty's

DEsrLA1NEs STREET PAVEMENT.
About dozen Of the property-owners on
South Dcsplaines street, between Monroe and
Harrison, met at No 243 on tho aforementioned
thoroughfare last evening, and discussed the
question, What shall we do with reference to
the assessment for pavement?' Two views
we're expressed. One, which was upheld by three
or four, was that, the property owners having
once paved the street and turned it over to the
city authorities it was the duty Of the latter to
pave it thereafter, taking the money out of tho
General Fund or, If necessary, raising it by tax
alton. The absurdity Of this position was
pointed out BY Mr. N. 3. Harrison, the Chair
man, who called attention to the fact that the
foTr1Yan hnr Ind che9tA Il
for the Improvement The advocates of the
proposition then said, if they had to pay, there
WIS no use in making any fuss. The other party
were IN fayoE o.. Of fighting the assessment IL the
use of $50 or $500 for two years ut or per
cent, the legal expenses being estimated at

pointed to consult q lawyer. The kind
Of pavement was next discussed, aud the
committee Hn .oo,.q;, Was empowered to report as

Council asking that the change be made, for
adoption or rejection at a meeting to be held at
the same place next Saturday night

A DESTROYING ELENENr.-When Mr..
Scion Royal heard Of the following, he
said he feared there was an element
working into the Greenback party which
would destroy it:
The Greenback caucus at Buckfleld, Sat
urday, was not harmonious gathering.
DIR. Bradbury, who is candidate for Sen
ator, appeared early on the ground, and
before the friends OF Mr.. Barrett, the Sen
ator OF last year, gathered, he had the
caucus organized, and ballotting CON-
menced, the names OF all the delegates
appearing on each ballot. Mr.. Barrett
objected TO this, as an unprecedented thing,
but his objection was overruled, and his
friends were obliged TO vote on DIR. Brad
bury's plan. The result was the selection
OF delegates favorable 10 Bradbury for
Senator by q vote OF twenty-five 70 thirteen
for Mr.. Barrett. DIR. Bradbury claims
that Senator Barrett is not entitled TO re-
election, first, because he alleges that the
Greenbackers never have adopted the inya-
rIable Republican precedent OF giving a
Senator two terms, and second, he did not
deserve reelection because he took q seat
in the legal Legislature last winter. The
friends OF Mr.. Barrett are naturally ex
ceedinxly indignant over this attempt to
deprive him of the second term, 10 which
the custom Of all parties in this State,
entities him.

Some farmers are at it, and most Of them
will commence this week. Grass here is
only about two-thirds grown,

MIcA.-The Sunday Times says the Maine
Mica Mining Company are now having
very large orders for feldspar from the
manufacturers Of china and porcelain ware
in Ohio and New Jersey, who pronounce
il the best they can ind in this country,
and il is thought there is an almost mex
haustible supply Of IL on this property. A
recent letter from DIR. True OF Bethel says
he sees no reason why 1t cannot be made q
very valuable shipping product, and the
source of large business and revenue 70

deposit Of mica necessitates the finding OF
this rock, and consequently it can be quar-

nolds OF Canton, few days ago, We were

EAST SUMNER, July 9.-The Fourth
passed OF very quietly at East Sumner
and, save the India cracker explosions on
the third, one would hardly have realized
that we ever heard Of our national inde-
pendence. "Uncle winslow" Richardson
and his family went TO Buckfeld on the
flfth, and while assisting his wife to alight
from the carriage, the horse suddenly be-
came frightened from fire cracker explo-
sion, and jumped, throwing Mrs. Richard
son upon her husband with such force that
both fell upon the sidewalk, and Mr.. Rich
ardson's arm was broken. DR.. Caldwell
adjusted the broken bones into place, and
It is doing well. So much for the careless
ness OF few thoughtless boys.
Farmers are very busy haying, and help
Is scarce. The weather, although dry, has
been unfavorable for securing the crop,
which will generally be good. Crops Of
all kinds are looking finely. Paris green
Is in active demand, and Is being quite
extensively used. 1t Is generally applied
with water, one heaping teaspoonful to
pail OF water, and sprinkled upon the tops.
In this way it is very effective, and also
easy and safe to apply. SLoCUM.

PARIs.-The South Paris Band visited
the Paris Hill Band, last Friday evening.

army bands.
Among the other good things in his
garden, J. G. Marble has a fine lot OF red

are not so many currants In any other one
