In spite of the recent inclement weather -work has progressed rapidly on this wd. On the premises of Hatch, Lawson and Serkins, between Mumford and Le Roy, a laijge force 1 of men are at work, as the material is in good part loose rock or rock cutting and not much affected by the frost. Through Warsaw and Gainesville and near Salamanca where there is heavy work large forces are employed con- stantly. The stone work of the bridge over i Sorine creek is completed, and the eontraot- orsare at present engaged on tbe bridge over Allen's creek, near Smith's mills. At Le Roy stone are being delivered for th bridge at that point.

The snratioc of thw problem will affect vast interests many millions of dollars in property, the health, comfort and convenience of our 75, tW people and the like mtereta of the far greater population by whom we shall wjon be siacceeiJed. Hence, it is very important that it be dispamonately and deliberately considered for calmness and reedom from passion and prejudice are necessary condi-tiona for sound judgment and correct conclusions.

In order that the mind be not confused by side issues and immaterial hacta. let me state as briefly as may be what points are, and' what are not settled or generally conceded Nobody denies that river water will wah out sewers and extinguish nres nobody denies that the supply from the Genesee wotiid be "sufficient. or at least as ample as one of its small tributaries oonld furnish; and Snail nobody denies that tbe cost of supplying the city wrth river water cr all purposes would be vastly probably several millions less than the cost of snpplying it with Hemlock lake water. These are the prints which too wonder the old committee did not dweif upon, elaborate and enforce. Rut why should we, when they are not even debatable in tbeae points the Hemlock lake rtHans agree with ourselves.

Now let me look for tbe points whk-h are debatable, and req'rire to be settled by argument, ttoly one point occurs to me Is the Hemloc lake water more wholesome and better fitted for domestic uses than tbe Genesee water, or is it not Yon remark that the excellence of the water recommended by the water commis-sioBrrs is "the only unavailable point" of their report. May I remind you without giving offence, that this is whaf logic designates as begging the quest ion assuming without proot the truth ot the matter to be proved Let ns proceed to consider the only material, unsettled question which this whole Emblem involves: Is the Genesee or the emlock water the more wholesome i Pure water, as everybody knows, is formed by the union of hydrogen and oxygen raises in certain definite and unvarying proportions. That water absolutely pure is not whole some as It is when certain foreign substance are mixed with it. It general proposition upon which all scientine men who have Btndied the subject long and patiently, are perfectlv agreed. In respect to the kind and proportion of foreign substances necessary to rentier water in the highest degree promotive of health, there is a little diversity of opinion, yet a substantial agreement among tms class oi scientists.

The water commissioners very properly employed a professional chemist to ascertain and report to them among other things: First, What foreign substances (and in what propratiana? water ebottad bold in eolation to render it most whoieeome. Second, What foreign substances (and in what proportions) are found in Genesee and Hemlock Lake water respectively. Their chemist consulted the most eminent authorities of Europe and America, and reported that water to be wholesome for drinking and cooking purposes should contain a specific quantity of lime salts and a certain quantity of chloride of so-dum to the gallon; that should be of from two to four degrees of hard-ne. He also reported on the authority of the eminent scientists referred to. that water of less than the specified degree of hardneea is mimical to health, producing glandular engorgements, He then appends analyses of the Genesee and the Hemlock lake waters, showing whether and to what extent they are respectively delicient in, or overcharged with, the foreign substances, which, in tbe certified proportions are necessary to render water wholesome.

All these data, so furnished by the commissioners and their professorial expert, I accept as sound and correct. Their publication and distribution bv the commissioners necessarily imply that tfiey too accept the data as sound and correct. Here, then, is a standard which all parties accept, by which "the excellence of water' may be tested. AD I have done in these articles" is to compare the commissioners own analyses of these waters with the commis-gitners' own standard of wholesome water a labor which they evidently did not themselves perform. Such comparison discloses the incontrovertible fact that according to their own standard and their own analyses, the Genesee water is far more wholesome than the Hemlock lake water.

Grant, if yon pb soe, that the old committee 'went to work to find excuses for introducing such water;" grant that we all lacked 'can do and that our aim was to 'hoodwink "the public grant that the writer is wanting in every moral quality and every intellectual faculty i save only that which enables him to try these two waters as analyzed for the commissioners, bv the standard they have adopted a'l these hypotheses, if true, could not affect the result Genesee water fulfils all tne prescribed conditions of health; whereas the Hemlock lake water does not eorne up to the standard in anv one of the conditions reatrired for wholesome water. It were as reasonable to censure me for not concurring with one who should aver that twice two is seven instead of six, as to censure roe for insisting that the standard and the analyses of water being given as in the commissioners' report, no other conclus- ion therefrom is possible than this: Adaptation to health being required, the Genesee tile better, tfee Umlock laaca tie intorir water. The multiplication table is not my work nor are tbe analyses and the standaiid referred to nor is it my fault that they wil not warrant conclusions differing from those 1 have deduced. I or twentv years the holders of the old charter have had a strong interest in prejudicing the public against the Genesee watet and they have worked with great snocesft indeed many of our people honestly believe, without knowing why, that of the rivers of the world tfce Genesee is the mutt impure and unwholesome. That the ct-mmiswiuners have shared this delusion with the rest of us, is by no means improbable.

But a study of their own report cannot fail to disabuse them. Analysis proves beyond all question that the Genesee water as jit flows, until lered, fulfils with won'lerfi'J fidelity and exactitude all the conditions wliith science teaches are necessary to make water wholesome. The present phase of the water question simply this The commissioners propose to spend several millions of dollars to bring from a lake twenty-eight miles distant a water which their own report demonstrates to be less wholesome than the water of our nrer above the city, but they must be men of rare nerve if after having spent a considerable sum of the people's money to col lect. puMLbh ana circulate pruots conciusrre and irrefragable, that the Hemlock is the ltss wholesome water, they shall persist in spend ing nulaons more to supply tnam with water which their own official report as interior neaitn-gmng properties.

MLaalQ Ta. OlT mf Karkester a. i il ia the L4tia-tiaa iar IBs Lswtral as the Kama. Utt evening the anoooonement was made in the city telegram to J. Cochrane, from Washingtrn, that the sopreme court of the United States had affirmed the decision ia the case of Her aainii The People of the rtate of Sew York.

Our citizens who have had enoojrb interest in the case to kep trp with its progi'ew, will nnderstand that it is the same which has been in the courts since T7, and which has been fought so tenaciously by the Erie Railway company on the one part and the city of Rochester on the other. Sow that the extreme test of the law has been made, we may recall a few of the principal features of the case. In 1SI the city of Rochester was ant horfced to subscribe for gno worth of ttock tn the Genesee TaDey railroad. By the act thnu passed the city was to have a director for every rtfi worth of stock, which, according to tbe general railroad act, requiring thirteen directors, Rochester would have four. The anKiunt of stock visaed was $9,000, and of this sun fi, Oi was held by indrvidsals.

The city was pnmpt in paying ita stock, but of the remainder, only $iT, 000 was paid in. Vnder tbe existitg laws, the directors who had paid (3j5, 000 on tbe amount of stock they represented, onritrolled the board of directors, and in fact managed the affairs of the road. This state of affairs naturally resorted in nonpayment of dividends and the depreciation of mock to forty per eent. The road we may her say was originally intended to run between Rochester and Portage, but the thirty nmea between Avon and Portage were never completed. In 1 an act was passed in the legislature which gave to the city tbe right of seven directors, or a majority of the board for the reason that a majority of the stock was held by the city.

Tins act was held unconstitutional because the title was defective. In the mean time the Erie railway company had succeed ed in buying 130, 0r) of the 000 of stock. and therefore in fact secured the control of the road, for while they elected nine directors on at stock, RodmMr was only able to be represented by four di rectors on 300,000. The irregularity of this state of affairs was apparent to everybody. but it required a regular legal process to attain the ends of justice.

Through the efforts of John 'ConviH, the member of the legislature from this district, an act passed in 167, which was in effect the same as that of 1C5. and this act was declared nn constitutional bv the Erie directors. Suit was then brought in behalf of the People of the state of of Jfew York against Miller and others. Miller was one of the original directors of the road and a resident of Buffalo, and his associates in the case were known as tbe Erie directors. The supreme court decided the act constitutional and the case was taken to the court of appeals and after the argument the court was divided and no decision given.

The case then passed into the present court of appeals, and by an uncommon circumstance the court was divided. Chief -Justice Church did not art, as he was counsel in tbe case. A pro forma decision was given in favor of the city, and tbe case waa carried on a writ of error to the supreme court of the United States. The case was argued at Washington by Henry R. Pelden and Theodore Bacon for the Erie directors, and J.

C. Cochrane for the city of Rochester. The argument was made in November last and the decision was rendered in favor of the city yesterday. During the interim our city has been agitated from time to time by this question. John M'Convin having succeeded in securing the passage of the act entitling the city to seven directors in the board, was made secretary and treasurer thereof.

Isaac Hills was then secretary and treasurer of the Erie board and held tbe papers and books of the company. At the meeting of the directors held subsequent to the passage of the act of 17 it was discovered that Mr. M'ConvfQ had gained pcmarioB of the books and papers, in what way was never ascertained. This tittlelrans-action created some excitement, but that excitement never changed the possession of the books and papers, as they are held to-day by the directors elected by the city of Rochester. A movement was next made in the common council under the leadership of Alderman Andrews to sell the city's stock in the road.

It was argued that in all probability the supreme court of the United States would not affirm the decision of the court ot appeals, and it was better for the city to sell out ita interest to the Erie railway company on certain conditions approved by the committee, who bad been instructed to visit New York and confer with the magnates of the Erie in reference the matter. A contract was drawn up by W. F. Cogswell of this city and was claimed to be the best that could be made in the interests of Rochester. The common council argued the question pro and con at considerable length, and the subject attracted the attention of stock holders resident of the city and others interested in the dipcl of the stock.

A public meeting was held at the common council chamber, in which J. C. Cochrane, Chaonoey Perry, Ex-Mayor Fish, E. R. Ham matt, opposed the disposition of the stock according to contract and W.

F. Cogswell, Ex-Alderman An-drewt, Remington and others supported it. The common council, if we remember well, approved of the report of the committee, but the public meeting disapproved of this action and Mayor Lntes vetoed the resolution. Out of aD this conflict of interests arose at least fifteen suits of a minor character, and finally an arrangement was effected be tween the city and the Erie directors hy which all those suits were discontinued and settled, and it was agreed that the.Erie com pany was to pay back dividends and to pay six per cent, on the whole capital stock of the road, acquiring on these conditions a lease of the road until the expi ration of it charter. The Erie company was required by this stipulation to pay alj taxes and defray all expenses of running the road.

The last suit was reserved for a test case, and by the decision given the directors chosen by the city of Rochester are. placed in authority since 1407, and all affairs o' the road since that time will be canvassed by them. It will also place the city in full jMsesvion of the road at? all the concerns of this corporation will be protected from any injustice or fraud which would otherwise likely be inaugurated at any time hy the Erie Railway managers. Too much credit cannot be awarded J. C.

Cochrane, the able attorney who labored so in this case from the commance-mwit. defending the city against men of ae-knowledged legal talent. John 'ConvUl, now absent from the city, also deserves much commendation for the tact and energy whk evinced in behalf of the interests of the city. Other private, citizens were industrious in the maintaining the city's right, and their wisdom in the case haas been clearly juiChed by the result. East tide Kaviac Bus.

received "nw nicety o.Ul Wows from rw-1 Hie in the hanls of a young lady he bad JOted. The a ft air. with all the circom-entie-ted with it, has caised no HUJe excitmetrt in to rjiiH-t viEaee which was the scene of its occunesioa. The facts, thv are toM ns by rerectable renldenta of Maced. are as follows The yoimjr denUst.

three years ago, opened an offl in a buikiing whih already contained two sisters, who occupied rooms drexs-makers An acquaintance foflowed, then the dsrtist yiZAa laying attentioa to a pretty seamstress who worked for the Ltirs, and finally they were enagxl. thriotinas was their wedding day and In making arrang-ment for that occasion, the lover went so far as to accompany his fiancee to this cut and assisted ber in the selea-ti'V of her rrrtuwotc Soon after, the dentist suddenly disappeared. It nemi be went to Wisconsin, where he married another. Last week he returned with his bride apparently perfectly onconnerned about the broken eiiKagfiment aad the blighted affections of the young lady he had so basely deserted. He reappeared in his office, and there on Saturday noon he received a visit from the aeamatreaa.

8he asked him for a reason for his conduct and for a letter of hers in his possession. He made an insulting answer, when the young lady, growing indig nant, wired a window-shade rod and rushed toward him. He retreated into a closet, and thence through a window upon the roof of a shed and so to the street. This alight encounter soon became known, aud as everybody sympathised with the young lady, there were not wanting those who encouraged her in her purpose of chastising the hearUesa denti-xt. In the evening he was seen on the street, and immediately pursued by the seamstress, who bad armed herself with a rawhide.

He entered a drug store, and retreating to a back room held the door from the inside. Half the jieople of the rillajre followed his pursuer into the store, all willing to see the beating duly infbx-ted. The door was pushed in and a club which the fugitive had grasped was taken from him. The seamstresa then beat nim about the head and face witn the rawhide till her strength faQed and she fainted from exhaustion. The dentist contested himself with shielding his face with his arms as well as he was able, and then bore his punishment like a martyr.

He is a little man, and probably thought it better to fall into tne hands of the forsaken fair one than of the -jeering crowd who looked on. The people of the village all speak of the good character of the young lady and agree that the dent fc-t was properly punished for his treachery. Water. The writer of the communication on the water question published in another column, alludes to logic, and although the phrase begging the question looks more like every day English than a part of any logical com eiKiat ure with which we are acquainted, we hhall assume that such a scientific gentleman knows all about the laws of reasoning. Accepting his own statements of fact, his argument stands thus: Wholesome water must contain quantities of lime salts, and chloride of sodium.

tSenese river water contains these certain quantities of lime salts and chloride of sodium Therefore Genesee river water is whole-onie. The Member of the Old will of course at once perceive the fallacy of this syuV-psm, and we leave it to him to point out whether it fails from illicit process of the major or minor term, or from undistributed aidle. For the nctit of less practiced readers we shall illustrate the argument hf an identical one: A perfect man must have two legs A common hen has two legs; Therefore, a common hni ia a pr4w3t Lf-t ns put the argument of the 4 Member of the Old Committee into an eiitbrmeme. the ordinary mode of reasoning. It will then be: The Genesee river water is wholesome be cause it contains certain quantities of lime salts and chloride of sodium.

It will be seen that this cogent argument might I perfectly true and yet the river might have in addition to all its other im-puritica, pruasic acid enough to kill all the people of Rochester inside of ten seconds. If the "Member of the Old Committee" looks through chemistry, he will find that the compotdtion of starch and sugar is exactly identical, yet. if in Ids childlike confidence in the results of science, he should have his shirt bosom stufoned with sugar and his tea sweetened with starch, he wmild have little r-aoa to be pleased with the experiment. He would soon prefer to tnLst to his senses. In the same way, no matter what science might say to ns on the comparative merits of Hemlock lake and Ueneee river water, we should never mistake the sugar for the starch.

The fact of the matter is, that the voice of science is in accord with that of common sense on the question. The Member of the Old Committee' is cwtaitily no fit Interpreter of the former. Had he spent his life in earnest and self-denying study, he would talk with more modcaty on these obtruse questions in which he assumes such a lordly tones Mechanic' aaa Blarluaatths ai.a.

Owe Cum, A few evenings since a youth who gave bis name aa John Holioran sought and obtained a uight's lodgings at the ponce station. In lha morning he told his story to Ottioer Hy- land, the kind-hearted custodian of the place. He had com from Cincinnati in search of his moUMsr. The latter had been left here by hex iutoband thirteen years ago. the father taking ths child with htm.

Th cause ct efarauoa was the woman's intemperate habits.

Outcer viand took the youth the next inerning to his own hunse for meals and the former eon Untied his search. He learned at hurt that his '-maternal relative had followed the ex ample of his father and married again; that she had then removed from the city and that fcmtiw of Ler nreeent whereabouts.
