The CANAL TO SaopGRAss.-Several years
since the Trustees Of this city commenced
tie construction of canal for the drainage
of the city sewage from r street to Snodg,ass
slough. The canal was constructed as far as
Beachs lake, which is about one-half the
distance from the city to the slough,
Although this canal ives beneficial to the CITY,
1t caused great damage to property in the
neighborhood of the lake, by sending more
water upon them during the rainy season
than could be taken care of. The farmers Of
that section commenced an action for damages
In the Superior Court against the city. The
city won the suit, but when the case was ap-
psaled to the Supreme Court the decision Of
the lower Court was reversed. Some tina
slice the City Trustees proposed to defray
nan OF the expense OF continuing the canal
from the lake to Suodgrass, providing the
farmers would pay the other half. Joseph
Sifns was selected By the farmers 20 canvass
the District and ascertaia if S5,O00-the

Monday, at meeting held of Freeport. over
which u: h. Hunt presided, and n. Nj. Fay

"LEr THERE BE LIeHr.s-A correspondent
complains of the gas company, saying they
are paid for lighting the city properly, and
thinks they ought to do SO. He says in toe
nsighborhood of Second street, between o

in the month, for it is rare thing that the
gas is hyhte1 in that locality before o'clock
