An Amended Proposal.

NeW Northwest, June 9Th: "Messrs,
Mcconnell & McDevitt, the con-
tractors to whom was c0nditiOnally
awarded the court house contract,
appeared before the Commissioners
this week and suggested verbal pro-
positions whi:h they would submit in
writing if the Board would consider
them, relative to the construc-
ton of the building. Their plan
was, If the Commissioners would
perfect the contract, to 60 on with
the construction of the building, en-.
closing it yet this year; taking such
payment on the same as the C0mmis-
sioners could make up to Dec: LIST.
completing the building early next
spring, and awaiting the balance of
theiI pay until after the tax collec-
tions of 1885. They had incurred
considerable expense, had made
their arrangements to build it, and
were very desirous of erecting the
building this year as another exem-
plification of their workmanship,
assured its merits architecturally
would benefit them as builders. The
Commissioners did not feel warranted

case. ia accepting the proposal With

vote of the county, and it is too
late to do that and build this year
We 'eel satisfied that on q fair pres

day, the people Of this county will
authorize the construction of the
building as proposed, and hope to see
the question so submitted. It is to
their interest TO const' uct such q
building, and we have confidence
they would 80 decide.

Potomac near Col. rs house dur

habit of bathing every day, and
frequently exposes were made which
were annoying to the Colonel. He
came into camp and complained.
Next day an order was issued for
bidding the men to enter the water
except at cetain point far removed
from the Colonel's. In a day or 81
the old man was back again, very
angry indeed, with the same old
story.

seen in it's three rings and

acts embrace, besides the ordinary
circus performances OF riding, tum~

tonishing features az troupe of per-
forming Arabs. with Turks. Moors,
Egyptians and Spaniards also in the
ring. q sacred white elephant, q white
