BREvITIES.


the Hall of Records did not suspend work
yesterday in Observance of Georges birthday,
but continued laying brick as rapidly as
possible. Perhaps any appearance of desc
Grafton of the day might be atoned for by
erecting place of deposit for that historical
Ratchet in the Treasurer's safe, upon which
the men were engaged in laying the founda-
ton.
A sheet and pillow case surprise party was
extended to William Mclaughlin on Mon
day evening, in honor of his birthday ami

CUT IT WIDER-E. H. Tryon and some
other gentlemen who have just returned from
Freeport state that the opening through the
old railroad embankment where the drainage
canal passes through, at that place, is not
sufficiently wide to allow the water to pass
off from below the city. The foodgate is
washed out and the embankment cut away at
the sides for a short distance, but they state
that the outlet is so narrow and acts to such
an extent as dam that the water is between
four and FIVE feet lower on the south side
than above, and with this fall rushes through
the opening in wild torrent. They state
that if wider opening was made the water
below Y street would soon be largely carried
off Several citizens residing in the vicinity
have constantly insisted that such was the
case, the opening should be made wider, that
the water was damned up there; and yet no
action seems to be taken in regard to it.
