Council Proceedings.

Council held its regular December session
Monday night. The Water Works report
was submitted, as follows: Receipts for No.
vember with balance on hand at beginning
of the month, 81, ,514.53; Disbursements ST.
1911; Balance on hand $382.82.
No Pay Ordinance was passed, an empty
exchequer being the only apology. Paren.
thetically we may remark our friend Isaac
Kelley remark, that " there was law passed
IN Queen AIMS reign, that when a man had
nothing to pay with he should not be Obliged
to pay, and that law holds good yet" even
when applied to municipalities. The Coun.
Gil was, therefore, safe in its action, and will
be protected by the shield of " honorable
precedent"
Charles Nash was granted permission to
run portable peanut stand, the privilege to
exist during option of Council only.
Attention was called to the Objectionable
condition of the public walk on the north
side of Main street, on the lands of the
Co. had been previously notified, however
and will undoubtedly put down new walk
in the near future.
Attention was also called to a short section
of cinder walk on South Diamond street, with
request that substantial walk be be'construct-
ed, but as there is a question as to whether
the title to the land is in the town or pri
vate individual, the matter was necessarily
postponed for future enquiry. Water is also
wanted badly in that section of the town, and
assurance was given that it would be fur
nished as soon as possible.
The resignation of eleven members of the
fire department was read and accepted The
Fire committee will deliberate with the CHIEF
and the remaining members of the force
and if there is any reasonable complaint to
be made Council say they will be glad tc
give audience to it: as thay appreciate the
value of an efficient department, and the
worth of the services rendered.
No action was taken with reference to pro
viding funds for developing the well system
of increased water supply at Crystal Lake
Samples of water from the we'll already
drilled are now in the hands of two of the
leading chemists of the State, but no repor
has been received from them as yet.

About half-past eight O'Clock Saturday
night -- Reeves, who resides on the Will
hanson place, on Cleveland Avenue, went
to officer Judson and told him he had just
been "held up" by two unknown parties
who intercepted him between the Beebe and
Williamson places. He said he saw the two
fellows standing on either side of the walk
and as he walked between them one grabbed
him and pinioned his arms behind him while
the other held a revolver to his head and
told him not to resist on pain of death. They
then went through his pockets, securing $40
in cash. Reeves gives pretty good desrip-
ton of the pair, but for apparent reasons it
was thought best by the officer not to make
it public. The officer and Miles Lowrie, the
lessee of the Williamson place, went to the
scene of the robbery. but discovered nothing
to assist them further in locating the scoun-
drelS.

eye Old Folkes Concerto" of last Thurs
day evening, given by the Methodist Choir
assisted by musical talent from the other
Church Choirs was in every way success.
The good people of the town, rendered COM
plaisant from partaking of bountiful Thanks
giving dinners, filled the Church to its ca
pacity. The singers under the inspiration
of we'll filled house, sang as if their whole
beings were filled with melody. The COS
tunes of ye singers were unique and becom-
ing, varying from the Colonial style to that
of the present time. If the personal appear
ance of the maidens of our forefathers days
was more greatly enhanced by the costumes
of those days than were their representatives
on this occasion, we would yearn to turn
back the course of time that we might live
when such sights were common.
The program of the evening was of such
variety as to please all. Special mention is
deserved of Mrs. L. P. Seymour's rendition
of " Robin Adair," and of the solo, "Within
mile of Edinboro Town" by Mrs. ]. S.
| Allen. Miss Slaughter's violin solo elected
hearty encore. The music of the Male
| Quartette was vigorously appreciated. J. B
Jewell rendered "The Holy City" in a
pleasing manner. The ubiquitous boy,
Wigglespring Amaziah Case, attired in q
broad smile and aicostume which transcends
our powers of description, created not a little
amusement during the evening. His en-
deavors to supply the singers with water.
both internally and externally, from huge
tin dipper, were certainly effectual.
In response to several requests the concert
was repeated on the following evening, with
few changes in the program. The attend
ance was, however, small, due to the inclem-
| ent weather.

Assyrlan Cuneiform InscrIptIons.

The task Of deciphering totally unknown
characters appeared indeed to be a hopeless
one, and yet II was successfully accomplished.
At the beginning of the present century
Georg Friedrich Grotefend, of Hanover, Ger

to unlock the mysteries Of cuneiform writing.
Still the obstacles were great that besct ut
every step the plucky band Of pioneers who
struck out In the path opened by Grotefend.
From laboriousy spelling out each word, like
a child learning the alphabet, the declpher-
ment gradually advanced, until today schol-
ars read an ordinary cuneiform with almost
the same ease as page of Hebrew in the Old
Testament In some respects the decipher-
ment Of the cuneiform inscriptions was at
tended with even greater difficulties than the
reading Of the Egyptian hieroglyphics, but
the two achievements are to be reckoned
among the most notable trlumphs Of the hui
man mind.

course OF events and the internal development
of Babylon and Assyria have become clear.

Five Famous Etchings.

The Passenger Department Of the New

beautiful etchings, which artistically out
rank anything of the kind ever issued by q
railroad company, while the alb ence of

home.

at their titles, Is all that is necessary to OBJ
tain fair idea of tho pictures.
No. ! is Washington Bridge" which
spans the Harlem River at 1Slst Street.
one of the finest bridges in the world and
marvel of engineering. In the distance
is Highbridge, the Croton Viaduct. In the
foreground a characteristic river scepe,
that will be recognized by any one at all
familiar with the locality.
No. Brock Of Ages, Niagara Falls
from photo by William H. Jackson q
Co., Denver. A view that has been ad-
mired by every one who has seen it. The
soft tones in which it is printed add greatly
to the effect of the falling waters and
spray.
No. Sold Spring at West Point" also
from photo by William II. Jackson a.
Co., Denver. A romantic scene, recalling
mcmcr es of summer days at the famous
military academy.
