been thrown up high in the center
during the present and past years,
leaving on each side of such streets
next to the sidewalk large holes or
low places where the dirt has been
taken from to put in the center of
the street, and during the rainy sea
son these low places fill with water
which remains stagiant without any
means of draining it away. These
places catch the filth and dirty water
which falls all around them making
cespools and an unhealthy condition
of things. If the supervisor of the
work on these streets was under our
council they would certainly know
better than to throw up street and
leave it in a condition so that the ac-
cumulation of water can not and will
not drain. But some people imagine
that the streets must be plowed and
turned upside down even though it
results in causing mud holes that
would "mire a saddle blanket" and
form unhealthy cespools enough to
kill all the people in town. Most of
our streets are in much better con-
dition and drain easier where they
have not been thrown up at all. A
good lot of gravel thrown in the
center of the street where the travel
mostly goes would make good roads
and streets and the natural lay of
the ground in most cases would then
permit the water to run off.

a reliable party-who- has had COM

mate the cost Of such an undertaking
that such adiich will cost not to ex-
cee,iitwentY:six thousand dollars, and
such ditch will tap and receive its
supply from Muddy, Long Tom and

will he fed hv the waters OF the

undertaking as this and one which is
the first step toward making the

small cost and certainly should be-
taken hold of by orr citizens and
worked up'to successful results. The
completion of a ditch ofthe size upon
which this estimate was made will
certainly be the starting point when

In addition to the encouragement
that the conviction of murderers in
Dublin brings upon the dynamite
and dagger fraternity, dawns the
conviction that dynamite is not the
tremendous agent that it has been
cracked up to be, says the Cincinnati
Gazette. The Superstition about
dynamite has been a great degree
exploded. 1t is an immense thing TO
break stone, hut it will not do mur-
der by the acre. There will prob
ably be few vestiges of the British
Empire for several generations yet,
and Ileland will be as prosperous as
Scotland when the mischief makers
in this country have been suppressed.

Oath is the birthday Of the old lady

stones to the memory of the late la
mented Brown, hard-headed SER

lars. Mr.. McCabe thought the open
ing of the bridge on the oath of May
would be honoring royalty. McCabe
is an ass, of course, but he assumes
to be equipped with dynamite. 1t

ers of an impossible Ireland. to blow
up great public work in this coun-
try with the view Of shatlering the

forty thousand dollars and build a
good wooden factory with it, such an
enterprise will be worth more TO the
county and 10 the town than three or
four railroads passing through the
place; and a good wooden mill will
pay a large interest on the invest

will keep the money at home. Why

will be held on Monday night, for Or
ganizing the company. The subscrip-

perfectly safe basis.
Mr.. Lockwood, of Providence, r. l.,
spent part OF last Friday and Saturday
in town. He inspected the ground
aiong the r. R., within the corporate
limits, and his Judgment is that there
are several places that would make
suitable. mill sites. The mill will not
be located, however, until the organi-
zation is effected; then mill engin-
eer will be engaged to furnish plans,
specifications, &C., and the work will
90 on. The Mill will probably be built
On on Mr.. Carwile's lot in rear OF the
depot. Those who have most carefully
studied the subject, have no doubt OF
the success of the enterprise.
