FROM THE FIRST WARD. | Tho iron bridge at tho gas house being found weak in several places, it was fouml necessary to immediately make some repairs upon it for its safety. The bridge was built in lSiio by Win. Cowiii, now deceased, and has stood the wear and tear of thirty live years with little or no repair. No doubt when it lias a thorough over hauling it will be good for another thirty-five years. The flagstone walk on S. Main street, after ten years of good service, is beginning to show some of the hard usage which it has been subjected to. Of course no impression is made upon the stone itself, but some of them have become loose and out of place. One man for one day could attend to all the little defects and make them as good as new again. \nd now per haps since the Centennial mill has changed hands, the little connecting link between the Mann paper mill and the Water Power Company's property may receive some attention from the former, as this is one of the places that has been sadly neglected for the past ten years. There is also another place on S. Main street, but as wo have spoken so often concerning this place, we think it unnecessary to go into details concerning it. There fore wo will pass it by and prepare ourselves to wade through it when tho snow and slush come. nevornl small robberies have been committed of lalo in our city, ami it is to tho interest of everyone to look after the looking of doors ami win dows. Homombor that it is too Into to lock tlio barn door after tlio liorso lias been stolen. Christmas w ill soon bo here again, and the liberal man w ill soon lm tax ing his brain in making up bis list of presents. This giving of presents has become unite burdensome of late years. \ person is hardly satisfied any more at tin* receipt of a gold watch or diamond ring and tho liberal donor is supposed to give out a few brick houses or an upright piano. In a recent communication from our friend and late comrade in arms, John Burns, ho wished, me to correct the statement made some time ago in this column concerning himself and two others who tried to silence the whole rebel army at Hpottsylvnnin Court House. It was only Jackson's I>t vision they engaged, and after both his comrades mot instant death, John erased firing and fell back in disorder. This lie was compelled to do, as he was being flanked and a continual cross lire was kept up on him. Some time ago wo said in this col umn that the Democrats could not stand prosperity, and now we can ox tend this same assertion to a few Be publicans as well. A certain Kcpiib liean in the Second Ward refused to vote owing to rush of business. The same individual can easily look back three or four years, when In* could have found time enough to vote a ball’ dozen times. Ami it is just such nog ligeuce as this individual is practicing that may throw the haliinc* of power hack again into tlm hands of I hat -put ty which will set him to thinkin again nf the past. When I was out in Minksville, (iov ernor Abbott appointed one of my !ici,,hbois to an honorary position on bis st a IT and bestowed upon him the dignified title of colonel. I was with him at the time when his title came up from Trillion by freight, and I watched him closely to note the trails figuration that was toclmngo him from ii corner groecryimui into a skinful of sweet blue pomposity, with wind galls of compound glory grow ing all over him like wenson a bald-headed deacon. But nary a change could I sec. Dressed in his blue overalls and jumper mid Inst, year’s straw hat, this new title had no more ellcrt on him than a gnat bite would have on a side of smoked bacon, lie was still plain Larry O’ltiley, with eczema scabs on Ins head and his shoes run down at the heel and cracker crumbs in Iiih lovely red whiskers. Time rolled uloug and extended out into tin* future like the tail of a seared mule backing away from a traction engine, and the big Fourth of •) uly parade came around oil date with the exactness of a judg ment note, and riding at the head of that parade in all the swelled up glory of a peacock with a brand new tail wasf’oloncl Tjiivvrenee <> Be lay in a gundy new suit of military blue and wearing a cocked hat with great white plumes nodding in the zephyrs like a corkiHlr mi till* hrott o| ll pfllC I >1111 I fromsdoiT' in h eiieiis |mi ik 1 <*.
