The city fathers met with the Mayor, Clerk
and Solicitor, Monday evening. All the mem
bers were present q fact not ascertained, how
ever, from roll call, time being far too precious
to waste either in this manner or in the infinite
jingle and janGle of reading tie minutes of the
last session. We take it for granted, therefore.
that the matters considered and passed upon at
that time were all correctly rec orded and no
error exists in the books which constitute the
history of Council for years.
| The pay ordinance was disposed of at a fire.
cracker rate, and landed in the realms of 'Bills
Payable
AS Tor the fire department, the citizens will
rejoice to learn that it is in first class condi-
ton and everything in good working order.'
Two fires were reported for June one at Prof.
Rudloffs and the other at VanNess' drug store.
The report embo lying the substance of the
above was read and accepted
| A petition, signed by Lewis Morgan and NJ.
| Fl. Loomis, praying for sidewalk on the south
| side of Main street east from Freedom street,
was read and laid on the table for the present,
but the sidewalk will be built in all probability
The nerves of the peoples ervants have been
sadly racked of late by the discordant twanging
OF the piece Of metal dignifed by the name Of a
fire alarm bell, and it being ascertained that
divers other citizens were also afflicted with
| twitchings and contracsions of the nerves. it
was determined to remedy the grievance by
| taking measures for the purchase of o new bell
that should give more than a tintiDnabulary
| sound-one, in fact, that would maks sleep out
of the question Whenever its musical clangor
should reverberate among the housetops.
Messrs. Clewell aad Rumbaugh were appointed
committee to look after the matter,
| Mr.. Yeend was present and calIel the atten-
| tion of Council to the proposed new Universalist
Church, and suggested that possibly it would
come within the ordinance forbiddiDg the
erection of frame buildings within. the fire
limits, and desired that if such were the case,
a special permit be granted them to construct
their edificc. 1t was not certain whether such
a desire to remove all embarrassment from the
church society, Council Willingly granted the
permit.
Census work is still too rushing for the water
works Secretary to furnish any report, but the
people will bear with their servant Tor the at
fairs of the water works are all right and will
be made known when Uncle Sam gets over his
rush.
A long list Of names was handed in Of persons
who will be required to build new sidewalks o.
repair their old ones. The Mayor remarked
three months and it was high time that some
thing was done. for the walks in town were in
terrible condition. We should say So a
motion was carried that the new walks be
ordered and the date of the assessment be fixed
80 days from July IL

A little 4th of July pugilism created quite an
excitement in front of the Etna House, in the
evening, in which a young Achilles from Edn-
burgh and bellsgerent from over the Rhine
figured as principals, Achilles knocked his ad-
versary down and was doing him up in fine
| style, when the hercuean form of officer Good
enough was seen rapidly approaching. He was
| on the point of making an arrest when one
Ruggles, from Palmyra, seized him by the arm,
and by a quick movement, turned him COM
pletely around, at the same time calling out,
Now Cory, run!" Cory alias "Achies"
was the one on top, and he skipped down the
street, followed by the doughty officer, who,
however, was soon distanced by the fugitive.
and soon returned, TO find the other fellow had
also made good use of his legs. 81 ought to
have shot him, hadn't l ?" remarked John, as
he retired, empty handed.
