lage.
The gentle breezes were waited most
too strongly Thursday, and during the

A few weeks since the council voted
5000 to drive piles along Main street on
the west bank of the river, above Nell
son street, to prevent the bank washing
away. The river is encroaching on the
street fast, and the work should be done
with as little delay as possible. Where
piles have been driven along the bank
it has stopped washing away entirely.

rule of ithe Republican party in this
state, and who are so heavily burdened
with excessive taxation, to an article
published elsewhere in this issue, from

would ask them to read it carefully that
they may know just what they are cry
ing after.
A sudden shift of the wind, early
Thursday morning, backed the water up
in the straits, causing the river to rise
about two feet, OyerHowiEg the fats on
both sides of the channel in the lower
part of town. The wind working
around to the westward, caused it to
fall full as rapidly as it rose. The
