CUT The CIR de.
The Second Avenue Knoll to be
Reno
The Councils Actto OF Last Evening
"A Great Impro, ement I'm Our Best
Business Thorous hfare.

The city council at its special meeting
last evening passed Al ordinance chang,
ing the original grade Of Second avenue
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets in such a man ner as to establish
uniformity and remove the knoll which
has been so unfavoraDly commented upon
since the outline of the grade became ap'
parent. Public pride was worked up to
such pitch that the council could not
in Difference to the will of the majority,
have done otherwise than adopt the ordi'
nance. The SPAWN back" sticking up
the street would in future years have been
a source of constant and everlasting regret
was it permitted to SO remain.
The council did moi act hastily. The
aldermen needed the advice of the mayor
to move cautiously. and they did. They
gave respectful audience TO Messrs Don
Blanchard and Guyer who were the only
representatives of the remonstrative ele.
ment and whose only plea was feai
that il would danger their individual
premises. The council also sought the
legal advice of the city attorney. who
gave it as his opinion that there WAS nc
question as to the city's right TO alter the
grade. and read opinions and decisions In
several cases already tried, showing the
city's perfect legal right to proceed with|
out delay in ordering the grade changed.
The council decided hat public inter-
est demanded the Improvement and or
dered it. which was right, and again
demonstrating that Rock Island has got

asked a delay of two weeks in paving, af-
ter changing the grace to relay his gas
pipes and connections deeper and the
matter was referred TO the street and al.
ley committee. Mr.. Judge will. of
course, realize the necessity of pushing
whatever changes he has to make
as rapidly as possible. Heretofore durS
ing the pavement or erations there has
evidently been unnece ,sary delay in pipe
laying.
In the meantime the contractors will
probably go to Fourtt enth. the terminus
of the present paving district, and work
east while the excavations are being
made in the block described. The cost
of reestsblishing the grade will probably
cost the city about 500. and it will also
put the street car company to consider
able expense. but all his will be cheer
fully borne.

A Case of Death Following Suspension.


In the Lyon Medical, No. 20, we read of
the following case of death following suspen
sion, reported by DIR. Gorecki The patient
was a man, aged 40, who for five years previ-
ousiy had been suffering from tables, and
who, after reading of the excellent results
obtained by suspension, bought an apparatus
The disease had taken a very rapid course in
him, paraplegia being almost complete He
was suspended two or three times daily by
his man servant. The first seven suspensions
were followed by most marked improvements
and the patient was able to walk a few stems.
After the eighth suspension he suddenly lost
the power of speech and hearing, his sight,
however, being unaltered and no paralysis
existing. Although active treatment was inn
mediately resorted to, swallowing soon be-
came impossible, sight was lost, and general
paralysis quickly set In. The symptoms be-
came more and more aggravated, and in
twenty four hours the patient was dead, the
immediate cause of death being asphy xia--

DAVE TUCKER.

Dave Tucker who has SO often dur
ing the past year delighted the read
ers of the TINES with his letters, ranks
among the best humorous writers IN
this county, and his letters are large
,ly copied throughout the country.
He has the happy faculty of blending
philosophical reasoning with his hui
mcrous style, and to those acquainted
with the facts connected Herewith
his iestsrs afford very great pleasure.
All his letters are based On facts, but
told in such a peculiarly pleasant and
ludicrous style as to leave the reader
TO infer that it was the work of imagi-
nation. Dave Tucker is native Of
Clarendon, and is a gentleman possess
ed ofan excellent education. We had
the pleasure Of q pleasant hours chat
with him a few days ago, and he
promises our readers at an early day
"a letter on Florence County. Wen
risk our reputation on the assertion
shat it will be good.

Salem Sayings.

BETHLEHEM, January 1st, 1SS9.-We have
entered into another year, and we hope
that it may be an improvement on the last
in all Of our moral, religious. and financial
condition at its end How many promises
broken, hopes and ambition blasted, with
lives lived in vain are the echoes of the de-
parting year. May we SO profit by the ex-
periences Of the past, that in the succeed
ing year we may reap lasting benefits, and
be better being for so having lived.
We are at present having nice time with
our mails from Oakland. Tie mails are
due at Bethlehem postoffce ats o'clock P.
II. on Monday and Friday Of each week,
and depart at o'clock A NJ. on Tuesday
ani Saturday. It generally reaches here
from to II o'clock P. NJ, and departs from
9 to IL A NJ OF course we get the mails
promptly and on schedule time by this ar
rangernent. The contractor is resident of
North Carolina, and don't seem to care
whether we get our mails or not. Our post
master says be reports to the post Office de-
partmcnt the exact arrival and departure Of
the mails, but no attention seems to bave
been paid to it. rpeople have been long
suffering and patient, but patience has
ceased to be virtue, and we are determin-
ed if change is not speedily made to rem
edy this outrageous evil, we. will petition
the Postmaster General toabolish the route
or have the mails come OIL time.

has been performing this duty through fall
and winter in very acceptable manner,
will return to his farm.
Our churches all have the same pastors
for this year, and are much pleased. The
S. S. and prayer meetings are regularly kept
up, and very well attended
Mr. Lesesne's school is daily improving,

Pleasures ofSaw-n;iiling.

There were several logs on the bed,
Enough to have run half The day; But
something got wrong with the cylinder
head, And then there was - to play.
The Boss took the engine apart, To
see what the matter could be; But be swore
when he finished and gave her start, That
not q - thing could ne see.
Then his temper got awfully rough,
And out came the DIS from his throat; And
he said, In the hole there is water enough
To drown Ed. aud Teddie's old goat.
s'The buttiug saw caught in a slab, And
the backing belt pulled in two; Then wild
ly he danced the wild can-can, And cussed
till the air was blue
The engine took case Of the thumps;
And ran with jerk and jar; So we sawed
two logs and ran three dumps, And partly
loaded Car"
Mr.. ED17oE:-I think anyone who reads
the above poetry, which was written by a
young man employed in saw mill in this
State, will not fail to see that some people
have quite enough to worry them and make
then, feel mad WITH themselves and every
one else with whom they come in contact.
We all know that it is useless to kick
against the inevitable; that accidents will
happen in the best of we'll regulated busi-
nesSes; but it seems that the mind for the
time loses sight of this fact entirely.
Our people should learn to govern their
temper more, as 1t frequently causes great
trouble, and occasionally loss of life.
Let US make up our minds 10, in all
cases, govern ourselves and never let temper
get the upper hand.
Let this be one of our New Year resolves,
and let every one try to keepit.
