Then, too, we traverse a rich and ponulons country without railroad facilities north or south country, the bulk of tbe trade of which will flow over this road to the city of Rochester where it naturally belongs, thus vastly increasing our earnings and income. We ask then, a loan of the credit of the cit for 400. 000 in its bonds payable in thirty years, and offer to secure the same by our pecond mortgage bonds payable at same time, and as an evidence of our entire good faith in thus presenting our claims, if such is needed, we are willing that provision be made that the same shall be delivered to us in equal installments for every ten miles of completed road from Rochester to the state line.

Tf C'lerlesl Aasaciarlw. The Clerical association, composed of the Episcopal clergy of Monroe and adjacent counties, convened yesterday at Trinity church. The clergy of this city were present, and we noticed Among the distinguished visitors tbe Rt. Rev, A. C.

Coxe, bishop of the diocese, the Rev. Messrs. Stryker, Williams, Webster, C. Hale, Wilson, Woodward, Clemson, Bonnar, Bishop, NicVersou, Witherspoon, Seibt, Van Bokkelen, Rankine, Brown, and Messrs. Dennis, Burke and Lane, deacons.

The association met in the morning for the discussion of such questions as were presented. As the deliberations of tbe eon-vocation are such as pertain solely to the clergy, the proceedings are not made public. In the evening the Rev. William Williams preached a sermon from the text found in Luke 8: 15, But that on the good ground are they which, in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it and bring forth fruit with patience. His theme was the relative position of the church of England and the church of Rome.

The aim of tbe speaker was to settle the question whether tbe church of England is a true branch of the Catholic church. The church Of Rome has denied that such is the case, and the preacher said that in order to fortify itself in the position which it had chosen it had eaped falsehood upon falsehood. It is claimed by the members of the Roman Catholic church that Henry VIII established the Episcopal church. Such, however, is not the case. King Henry VIII never established any church, and had not the power to do so.

In that age of fanatical 'igotry when persecution ravaged like a pestilence, any person who would have given utterance to the belief that the king could establish a church would hare been eot. by Ms majesty to the stake to atone lor his indiscretion. Even Protestants who entertain tacn horror for creeds and practices of the have joined with them in the cry and data the origin of the English church from the reign of Henry VI1X Father Burke, the Dominican, uttered such a sentiment less than two months since. The nature of the movement in the reign of that monarch was of entirely a different nature than is declared by the enemies of the true church. It was a protest against the increasing encroachments of papal supremacy.

The new church which was established at that time, if a new church was established, was the Romish church. For of the 9,400 clergymen who were in England at the time, only 300 went with the adherents of Romanism, and many of them afterward repented and returned to their first faith. It is A singular fact that it was not denied that the Church cf England was a true branch of tbe Catholic church until Elizabeth had been queen thirteen years. With reference to the origin of papacy, the speaker remarked that until the year 900 there was no such thing known as primacy. Historians of those days make no mention whatever of one pontiff having: such extraordinary supremacy.

But in order to make the world believe that primacy had always existed from the time that Christ gave his commission to Peter passages bad been inserted in the histories and letters of twenty-four bishops of Rome had been deliberately forged. These letters candid Roman Catholics had acknowledged to be foreigners. But this is only one instance of a hundred in which falsehoods have been invented to justify the acts of the popes. It is certain, the preacher said, that the church of England is the true Catholic church. He then spoke of the corrupting influences which Puritanism had exerted upon the church, and recommended a return to the primitive liturgy customs of the fathers.

He advised that a spirit cf liberal thought should, in the future, actuate in all measures, a spirit that would accept good wherever it is found, and endeavor to profit by it. He closed with an eloquent and thrilling description of the prospects before the church for accomplishing its destined mission. The association will continue sitting at Trinity church to-day. This morning at 8 o'clock there will be an early communion. At 10 o'clock there will be a discussion for the clergy and members of the convocation.

The services in the evening will be of the most attractive kind. Addresses will be made by men distinguished for their abilities both as speakers and thinkers. Bishop Coxe will T01B HUGH A WEXK WJTH JESUS. Te Mr. sail Mr.

Eni-aeTtflaary FiBkevy tile Wide Waters. We suppose everybody knows by this time that people are coming to Rochester from all parts of state to obtain fish and spawn for stocking purposes but few have any idea of tbe extensive nature of the supplies furnished. Over 100 lakes and streams have been furnished with bass or pike or both this winter. Every one who came has carried away from seventy to 150 fish, and, to show how far such a number goes in stocking a body of water, we may mention that fourteen years ago fourteen black bass were placed in the Potomac and that the river has now become the best stream in the country for black bass fishing. AU tbe fish obtained hers are taken from the Wide-water.

At the urgent solicitation ofSeth Green, the cans authorities forbid private parties from drawing a net there during the winter, and so all the finny tribe that have gathered there can be made avail-ble for stocking depleted ponds, lakes and streams. 'When the water was drawn from the canal last fall a net was placed across it at the eastern end of the. western Wide-Water and as tbe'water all the way from Buffalo was allowed to flow in this direction, an immense quantity of fish were stopped in thebasin. At Seth's invitation, we visited the scene of these operations yesterday afternoon. One of the party, we may add, was Mr.

Lamberton who is still skeptical on tbe fish-hearing question. The Wide-Waters presented quite a lively scene, dozens of men and boys being gathered on the ice, most of them brought there to secure the coarser varieties of fish which are not wanted. The surface was dotted with small openings cut through the ice, with two or three larger apertures. A canal boat furnishes a local habitation to the men in charge of the fishery. The latter drew from under the ice at the large openings for the inspection of the visitors, a number of boxes containing several pike, blacc and rock bass.

These boxes are simple but extremely well adapted fur the purpose, the fish being readily taken from them and yet preserving all their vitality. The manner of drawing the seine was then shown us. The ropes by which it is drawn are passed under the ice by means of a pole, to which each is attached, and which is passed from one of the small openings to tbe next succeeding one. These apertures lead in opposite directions from the large one into which the net is lowered. Of course, the small holes gradually converge to a large opening, where the seine is finally drawn out.

To draw it requires about three-quarters of an hour. An animating picture was presented as the fish came to view, pike, bass, sunfish, mullets, sheep-head and half A dozen other van ties. A landing net was brought into requisition to take the fish from the seine, when the finer kinds were placed in pails and immediately transferred to the boxes already alluded to. It should be stated that in the spring the water stagnates in the large basin and nearly all the fish die, so that it is a positive saving anyway to draw them oul, letting alone the important benefits which accrue from the operation. We need hardly say tha the whole plan is of Mr.

Green 'sjcontrivnce. The men are in hia employ, the cost, which is inconsiderable, being met by the statel The public are but gradually beginning to appreciate fish culture. There can, however, be no question that in a few years the most thorough and systematic plans wOI be in operation for increasing and keeping up the supply of the best varieties of fish in all the principal lakes and streams of the country. The student of political economy will in lubure years uae vuuwuur among Otuer questions of food supply, that which will arise from the enormous increase of edible fish in all our waters. Then, too, in stocking the smaller streams and lakes, strong temptations are placed ia the way of people to out door exercise the great heed of Americans.

This cons deration deserves inc-re careful notice thaq we are prepared tcJ give in this article, which we suppose will be held long enough already. We are glad to i lotice that the whole subject is attracting so much attention in every part of the country. Trial ef ihe t-Ulabr teaaa Fire Ensiae. The facts concerning the purchase of steam fire engines by the common council have been pretty well ventilated through the city papers. One of the two engines for which a contract was entered into by the city with the Silsby manufacturing company of Seneca Falls, arrived a few days since, and yesterday afternoon a publio trial of the machine was made in front of the court-house, on West Main street.

As soon as the steamer arrived on the ground a large number of persons congregated about it, and the sidewalks in the vicinity were well crowded. An engineer from the Silsby works was on hand to run the engine, and Horace Silsby, one of the firm, was also present to witness the trial and attend to the arrangements of it. The fire department committee of the common council and several of their associates of the board, were on hand representing the interests of the city. Within one minute of 2 o'clock the torch was lighted and fire communicated to the grate. Five minutes thereafter there was six pounds of steam on, in six minutes ten pounds, in ten minutes tbirty-gve pounds, in eleven minutes forty-seven pounds.

Suction was taken from the reservoir near at hand, and the water was forced through 100 feet of rubber hose and one and one-fourth inch nozzle. The stream was thrown at an angle of about seventy degrees towards the dome of the court louse. The wind was blowing but a slight breeze and not sufficient to interfere with the direc- tion or force of the water. In less tjhan a half hour the water was forced up high enough to drive people who had taken position in the dome of the building from their place, and shortly afterward the stream was cast upon the statue of justice, (which surmounts the dome. The engine carried at Uiis tune eiguty pounus or steam ana i pounds water pressure.

The streadi was shifted to tbe left of the front of the building and in a position a little more favorab and the water was thrown pretty full up the figure on the dome through an inc and three-eights noszle. The steam showed on this experiment eighty-five pounds of steam and ISO pounds water pressure." A trial was next made horizontally through 150 feet of hose, and the extreme distance which the water was forced was 221 feet. The amount of steam and water pressure varied but little from the amount employed on the other trials. This closed tbe trial, and the engine returned to the house. The test of the machine was regarded as generally satisfactory.

The same difference of opinion as to the value of rotary and piston pumps seemed to exist among the and engineers who witnessed the trial. Ten or fifteen hours' work at a fire is the best test of the merits of a steamer. An engine throwing the stream which the Sdbsy did yesterday for six or tea hours would be an extremely valuable machine for any city. The new engine is handsomely fiiiished, and as a piece of mmshlnery is highly creditable to the firm which produced it. In thirty days mors another steamer from tbe same manufactory will be in this city or insiieciaon and trial Tbe new steamer win be aaxignad to the place of ss.

jnber 2, if accepted by the oily. False AlairBBA ef Flrsv, About 8 o'clock last night an alarm of fire was given from box 63, on the corner of Prince street and University avenue, at the extreme east line of the city. The alarm was a false one. About midnight another alarm was sounded from tbe corner of West avenue and Genesee at the western end of the city. The was again moiinoBsd from their homes to find that the box had been opened and a false alarm given.

It is A Buserabie loafer who will perpetrate this kind of trick. There was a good deal of feeling Among members ot the department In re-pect to the trauX Lnric-Mcmow. Of All the nnmerotts sewing; machines making the lock-stitch, all, except RIMS, have to resort to the use of either cog--wheels or cams in their construction in order to produce the neeessvy motions in forming the lock-stitch, excessive noise anl friction being the natural rrsuhi Tbe Blees machine being on the link-motion principle, thi. nWprfinn of notse. friction, and conse quently great wear and tear, is avoided en tirely, or nearly so.

The Klees company manufacture two distinct sizes, the one for family sewing and light business purposes, and the other, a large rnachine, exclusively for manufacturing purposes of every descrip-tion. Messrs. Hatch Son of this city have been running thirty or forty of these machines by steam power for the past four years, and churn that they turn out more work and at very considerably less cost for repairs than with any other machine in the market. The principal wholesale clothing manufacturers of New Tork city, snch as Carhart, Whitford Co. have awarded the Blees machine the highest praise for their combined qualities while for family sewing, we eannot speak too highly of it on account of its simplicity, very easy running, and, above all, its noiseless-ness.

Mr. Gee has had the general agency of this machine for nearly two years, is a practical mechanic, and we cheerfully recommend him and the Elees machine to the sewing machine community, And would impress upon them the great importance of their seeing this really meritorious machine.

They were deprived of tbe right to elect and tbe right to control alike. Taking up tbe water work bill, the speaker referred to that provision of it which limited the teim of office only by the completion of the' works, and there was nothing said as to the time the works should be completed. When was to bet They would be completed when further taxation was impossible, when tbe taxpayers would rise up and drive from their midst tbe assessors of such burdens. No wonder that the people were Indignant when they considered that they had been ignored in tbe passing of theese measures. These bills were passed silently and signed as secretly.

The speaker found no fault with the commissioners or with the local representative who had presented the bills, for thi people had dispatched him. They found no fault with the dead. Mr. Danforth argued the fraud of the bill, because, as Mr. Cochrane had charged, it was copied from the metropolitan commission of the same nature, the exception that the only redeeming clause in the latter act had been stricken out in transcribing.

The water bill had not been demanded by the people, it was not petitioned for, it was not published, and it was not called for by any public meeting. The oidy persons who had favored it were the few who were afterwards appointed under it. The main question wa whether the city should lose its representative character. This was therefore a matter of the gravest importance. Ought not, then, tbe citizens to be consulted Ought not the people of the outside wards to havj a voice in saying whether they should be taxed equally with those living in the center of the city when the former would never see a drop of the water.

"Sow, gentlemen of the jury" agam began Mr. Dantforth, when he was interrupted by laughter. He stopped till it subsided and then said: "lam riht, gentlemen you are the jury. I shall submit the question to you, whether the commissions shall stand or be defeated. The year 1873 would be ever memorable for the exposure of frauds by the commissioners in the city of New Tork, and the same year would be memorable aa seeing the beginning of commissions in Rochester.

Single men were corrupt, but not the people for they were the pa ore. When governed by a council, the lattr had a remedy against corruption in the ballot, but as the city now stood with its powers emasculated, there was no resource left to its citizens. Public opinion could not be brought to bear on the commissioners. They could not be turned out. Erery citizen of Rochester was interested in this thing, as he loved the place in which resided.

They should and could co-operate so as to give the city still greater beauty and excellencies than it already possessed, and the only way to do that was by electing their own representatives. If not too late, therefore, an attempt should be made to gain the repeal of the commission measures. This was the last, the only resource. Referring to the powers of the commissioners, the speaker said they were given unlimited power to spend money. Since the water bill was amended, they could, to be sure, issue bonds for only J3, -COO, COO but what was to hinder them from giving out other securities or spending money in as large an amount as they chose.

The question was finally, whether the council was to be a shadow or a substance. What could be done he knew not, but if anything, only by the united endeavors of the citizens of Rochester. John Van Voorhis, from the committee on resolutions, read the following The citizens and freeholders of the city of Bxichester here assembled have gathered together to inquire whether they have remaining to them any civil and municipal rights; and in view of the several commissions itn-posfcd upon them, i without any request on their part, by the legislature of 1872, whether they are prepared to relinquish the riaht of self-government, abdicate their municipal powers, surrender the substance of representative government and are willing witnout a struggle to commit their interests into the hands of a few men, not of their own choice and election, but the mere appointees of an irresponsible public officer. In view of these tacts, that the control of all our public improvements and puolic works are about to be taken out of the bands of the people, or their legal or popular repre-sentativeSj and as projects are on foot that of dollars (we know not how many) by persons who neither represent, nor are responsible to the people, or any other authority, it Sr-emg a duty an assembly like this, to give some expression of opinion upon this inroad upon our civil rights. Therefore, resolved.

First That this meeting stand by the time-honored American doctrine, that the people are capable of self-trovernment, and that it is as applicable to cities as to counties, states or the nation. Second That this principle involves as its chief corner stone, the exercise of the representative system and the free choice of our representatives and other public men; and that in cities a common couitcil or some kindred body are the rightful trustees of the powers of the people and the chosen guardians of their ric hts and interests and that through them ah improvements and expensive enterprises involving taxation and cost should lie conducted, unless the people undur-standirglv ordain and direct to the contrary. Third That we unqualifiedly disapprove, and earnestly protest against this action of the legislature of 1473, in depriving the people of this city of all control over their public iiii ro vements and public works, and in constituting a commission of improvements and another for the construction of water works, to expend money without limit, without safe-guards, and involving the outlay of many of dollars, when there had been no expression of the public opinion in its favor, and when tbe hurried aud clandestine manner in which the act was carried through tbe legiuiatnre gave evidence that it was not tbe voice of the people. Fourth That irrespective of the persotnl of these commissions we are utterly and unqualifiedly opposed to this whole system of crtmmitttriortit as such, and especially to the improvement and water commissions; and believe that their practical workings will lie fraught with great political evil, and with ennrmous increase of taxation, and being opposed to this or any mode of depriving the people of their accustomed municipal rights, and feeling assured that the acts creating these ccuiimissioiis did not and do not express tbe public will, we earnestly ask for a reueal of the law. Aid.

Kelly, in response to loud calls, mounted the platform. He maintained, as a taxpayer, that tbe people oogh to have the choice of their representatives. He believed also that elections should be held as frequently as possible in order to strengthen tbe hold which the people had on their officers. He arraigned the mayor as one of the great movers in these commission laws. The water bill the most obnoxious of all was passed on Saturday, signed late that night and Mondy morning's paier contained the names of the commissioners, showing that the mayor was a party to the whole scheme.

The people, if they submitted to these measures, would be reduced to a set of automatons. As far as tbe council was concerned, its members were tbe representatives of the people, and the latter had elected them. He did not wish to have his property taxed for paying a set of men seven dollars a day to care of his interests. As to the water commissioners who were so anxious to supply wholesome water to the city, they took good care, nevertheless, to provide an almighty sight of whisky for themselves. As to the personnel of the other fxttnmiasions he had nothing to say.

lie fought the measures on principle. He believed a united effort of the citizens would ensure repeal They might then abolish the present oommon council and eljct others if they wanted to. The alderman's remarks were received with cheers. The meeting now adjourned. AtmrBvmaa Lertare.

The room was well filled but not crowded. W. H. McPhemon called the gathering to order, and on tri motion Ex-Mayor Lutes was made chairman. Mr.

Lutes la Vakitur the chair said he pre- nmed all knew what the meeting was for. It was called to protest against the oomrois-sionB to see if wa could have self government. Here the eoar boose bell struck an alarm, and Mr. Lutes remarked it was a mean dodge to interfere with the meeting. Continuing, he averred that he had served with twenty-six aldermen and none of them were corrupt.

As far as he was concerned, if ten cente had ever stuck to his bands be would have considered himself damned for the rest of hie life. Had Thomas Parsons, William F. Holmes, Ambrose Cram and others ever done anything but straight, honest work? There was nothing to the of robbery and stealing. Hew York was well g-irerned till It was controlled by comminsions. He thought five men could be dealt with better than twenty -eight.

He favored the amendments to the charter now before legislature. There might be two bouses in the council, one serving as a check on the other. If there were rings In existence a small one could be eier managed than a large one. Old Peter Cooper, tbe boneetest man in the state, hal himself remarked to tbe speaker, that the metropolis was well ruled till com-missions arose. The result was a Tweed, and we now had a Tweed here.

He closed by saying he was opposed to commissions trOV the word go. If there were bad aldermen he said put them out He believed the city could be governed without commissions. His German friends, at the last election, had expressed their opinion on the subject, and he stood by them. James Graham moved the following list of vice prpf.iden, one from each ward: Am-prose Cram, Ezra Jones, Henry E. Rochester, D.

a Porter, a L. Brewster, H. a Brewer, William N. Emerson, Phillip Meyer, Benjamin McFarlin, E. M.

Pottle, Cyras F. Paine, Jacob Bauer, Patrick Barry, Frederick Loebs, Hiram Davis. On motion of Mr. McPherson, Francis 8. Rcw and Thomas Drausfield were appointed secretaries.

John Van Voorhis moved a committee of five on resolutions, to be appointed by the chair. John Van Voorhis, Newell A. Stone, James Graham, Hiram Davis and Ambrose Cram were named accordingly. Ex-Aid. Qulnn objected that Mr.

Davis who bad been chosen vice-president from the fourteenth ward was not a resident of that ward. Calls were ma4 for James Cochrane and that gentleman appeared on tbe rostrum. He said they had assembled to consider a subject of great importance to every citizen, as It concerned the future government of the city and the interest of every property-bolder. The city had always heretofore been governed on Republican principles. In 1837, when Rochester was incorporated as a village, we had trustees elected by the people, and when the city was incorporated as such, it was to be governed by a mayor and common council all elective officers save the mayor.

That office was afterwards also made elective. This was therefore a little republic and remained so till last year, when, without consulting the people, a statute was passed appointing three commissions, taking away from the people all voice in building a city hall, all control of the public works and appointing five men selected by the mayor to construct water works, giving tnem the most unlimited powers while all their expenditures were to be borne by the people. It was said the measure was just, because water works were necessary, but did the people my such works were required! The latter were treated as lunatics men for whom yon appoint a committee because they are unable to act for themselves. It was said the council was corrupt and ought not to have charge of these enterprises. This reasoning was bad enough but what was worse, the people were not consulted at all In making the changes thus urged.

An attempt was made to establish an aristocracy. Those who favor- f( if aM the tT TlATAfB WMrtt ftnlv beasts of burden, while five aristocrats were to decide what ater works we ought to have at an expense of $3,000,000. What those who favored water works ought to have done was to imitate the example of New Tork city. That great metropolis when it had 10, 000 inhabitants, was looking about for water, and obtained from the legislature an icV to appointing a to investigate, make plans And submit them to the common council of the city. Then if the latter body ti in favor of their plan the at the next charter election were to vote on It If the la ter decided in its favor, the measure was again to go back to the council, and not till then were the commiiiioners authorised to go on.

Even at that joint, the latter were authorised to expend only WW, 0u0 at the outside. The reason such provisions were not incorporated in our act had not been an oversight. It was intended as a fraud. Here the speaker was interrupted by applause. He went on to say it was a fraud because the act was copied almost word for word from the statute of lSOi appointing the Liter commission for the city of New York.

The only modification made was that the question should not even be sul mitud to the people but to his honor the mayor. People said they could not trust the council; but alderman were time honored officials, the elders of the city, selected because they were honored and could be trusted like the elders of a church. Should there be a corruptone.it would no more argue for abolishing the whole than in case an cider of a church should prove unworthy, it would be wiise to govern that church by a comuussion. The council was objected to by these aristocrats, yet it was the representative the people, the common council as liitinguiihed from a privy council It was the representative of the people in the same sense that the English parliament was the representative of the English people and as congress represented our own nation. Now, instead of this council was proposed to have commissioners appointed by a single man, the people having no voice in their election.

The speaker likened this policy to that pursued in the republic of Venice when the representatives of the people became hereditary till at last' the government was administered by a Doge nd a council of ten. And while that medieval city had magnificent wau-r works, it be. came the most infamous in history. For years it had produced not a single great man. It was proposed now to have a Doge and council of fifteen in Rochester.

This was attempted in violation of our chartered rights. It was proposed to take away our charter, an instrument we had never kktted. In all times the rights of chartered cities, the bulwarks of liberty, had bean re-peeled and the first attempt to violate them incurred in the twelfth century, when the emperor of Germany, Frederick Barbejrossa, took its chartar from the city of Milan in spite of a deperate resfetaaee. All the cities of northern Italy made common cause with her, and jut 600 years before the American revolution, tbe emperor beasieged the city fur the second tune when in the critical moment of its young men made au attack oa the emperor's lines. In the battle whioh ensued the citisans were victorious, and thus the attempts to violate the chartered rihw of Milan tailed.

Mr. Cochrane went on to mention the attempt by Charles II. to take away the charter of London, and the manner in hich the house of Btuart kst the Rnglith throne by persisting in similar measures. As these ancient and modern enies had fought fur their chartered rkbiA to we ought to resit with similar stubbomess. Other cities ought to be Asked s- a outuiaiA causa wita they might may tua A M.ti Mvpa -s "7 To Qlustrat the understanding which ought to sutiaist between cities in defense of hir common the spaker referred to the Hanseauc league, whose influence bdh ill throughout Europe, and which had become historic.

He advised that our ciUsens eeh-t the sympathies of the other munieapsJ-Jies of tbe state in order that an irreiible aprlbernatothefotalatnre. tvond cries were now made for Mr. Dan-wbo ascended the platform and began tbat the previous speaker had by drc-h, the gravity of the oecasion. notexaggfv 'on ww th new system of it was a que. hould "prevail, governing a tw -wnsiMe vsT shoM be an expensive, irre, erprie the pwiAbW vrvctoU over whose a.

fteiBe HaneMim Afceat tbe Pressse! Banto. vara. A correspondent who seems unwilling to give his name, writes under the above title about the village of Charlotte. Although not in accordance with rules to publish anonymous communications, yet he evidently knows something about this subject and writes like a public spirited citizen in relation to contemplated improvements north of the city: Twenty-three years ago, while cast ins; about for a location where I might make a living, a neighbor who had just bought a farm near Charlotte, spoke in such glowing terms of the beauty of the place that I was induced to see the wonder; for he really painted it out as the most lovely spot on the globe. Accordingly, one morning I started from Brighton to take A look at the poetic spot.

Right before me lay a beautiful stretch of street, a mile, long, ending at the lake beyond the village beautifully green on each side of the roadway, and cottages peening out from amonz fruit and ornameatal trees on both sides, while elsewhere, here and there the peak of a roof was to be seen above the tret8, and ust beyond, old Ontario, blue as blue rould be, but not A bit down-hearted. The prospect of success in business became of but second consideration to me. I was like the love-smitten maiden; I was willing to pnt up with a dry crust if 1 could but be with the object of my affection, and of course I did not court long, 1 made two or three visits and had the knot tied and though it is near time for my silver wedding in relation with Miss Charlotte of course for the other is passed I am not tired of her yet. However, Charlotte seems to be doomed. Strangers are pouring in upon us, and are determined to pitch their cabins upon our beautiful and charming beach, where formerly on pleasant Sunday afternoons, ge ting stiff from inactivity, as hard-working men are apt to get I handled the drawing fcnife, the spoke shave and the sledge hammer I would stroll up and down, picking up shiny pebbles and odd little shells, and occasionally get a dash from a wavelet over my feet.

This was pure, undeiiled enjoyment to me, and no doubt to others, but these strangers are robbing ns of it and instead of lords of the soil gravel we will become servants and aiters to them and content ourselves with the crumbs tbey may choose to drop us. However, we' have no serions fault to find about it. On the contrary, presuming they will be liberal towards us, we Are ready to welcome all who may choose to avail themselves of the beauties and health fulness of our place and with the view of increasing the facilities for reaching us, we are now laboring to double, at least, the width of our avenue between Rochester and the lake and no doubt we shall succeed, as every individual who owns land along the route is deeply interested in its success, as such an avenue will attract the attention of the wealthy, who seek for fine grounds' for dwelling purposes, where both air and water can be got in a pure state. Assuming that we shall be successful in opening an eight-rod avenue and surely it would not be less and were I to have the laying out of it, I would first grade a four-rod carriageway in the center next, I would set off half a rod on each side of that for railroad tracks next, I would lay off one rod adjoining each traok for a lawn, and half a rod adjoining these lawns for sidewalks, which would comprise the eight rods. A four-rod-wide driveway makes a respectable road teams to be hitched in front of dwellings or business places, could cross the railroad tracks and stand on the lawn, hitched near tbe sidewalks, without danger of getting frightened bv the passing cars, sixteen feet distant.

Who will give a better suggestion Some talk of railroad tracks in the center, but no matter what the width of the street may be, tracks so located become a nuisance to the carriage road travel as crossing and recrossing under full headway becomes mere or lees necessary, and straining wheels and axles fearfully.

An aged lady Mary McCarthy who lives on Brown street died very suddenly last Saturday.

She was eighty-four years old. Dr. Fowler was called and Coroner Morrison was notified of the circumstance. No inquest was held however, as it was clearly manifest from the nature of the occurrence and the expressed opinion of the physician that death resulted solely from old age. COVUT BECOKO.

We understand the following com ran -htcAtion has been before the committee appointed at tbe last meeting of the common council, in reference to aid to the Rochester, Nun da and Pennsylvania railroad company, and that the same will be presented to the common council at their meeting this evening. We publish it at the request of the committee so that the aldermen may be the better prepared to act in the matter Gentlemet: As you have been appointed by the honorable, the common council of the city of Rochester, a committee to receive from our company a statement presenting our claims for the consideration of that body, and asking for assistance from that city in building our road, we beg leave to refer you to a communication from us which was published in the Union and Advertiser of the 4th inst fully setting forth our history, purposes and needs, ana the reasons why we now call upon the city fur further aid. That article may be briefly summed up as follows Firstfrr-In January, 1873, when we applied to and received tbe promise of aid from the city in the sum of 1150,000. Our road extended only to the state line of Pennsylvania, was a narrow guage road (three feetl, made so for tbe purpose of connecting with one then building from said state line to the coal retrions, thus making a continuous narrow gauge line from Rochester, south, and the aid then asked for and given, was here thought enough for the enterprise as it then stood. Second.

Bv the inability, or rather inefficiency of those in charge of the enterprise south of the slate line, it has failed of accomplishment, and we have been driven to take upon ourselves a heavies' burden, and to build near one hundred miles more ofroad than we then anticipated. Third. In view of many considerations laid before us, and of tbe condition of your aid since obtained on our line, we have been obliged to adopt a wider guage (four feet eight and one-half inches), thus adding very largely to the cost. We thus briefly present our claims for present aid from the city ot Rochester, aud submit that our case is so strong that it cannot be regarded as foreclosed by the assistance already received. I If, one year ago, Rochester see it for her interest to lend us her credit to the extent of $150.

ooO in aid of this work, as it thenj stood, much more should she now lend that credit, to the extent that we ask, It is unneeessAry for us to stats tbe benBt to accrue to vour city by makinir her the northern terminus of a eoal aud lumber road two hundred miles in length, extending into the very heart of the bituminous eoal fields of Pennsylvania. Those benefits must be too apparent to need any presentation at our bands. Tnere are advantages, however, that have not been touched upon, which it is not out of place to present here. It must be apparent, even to those most Inexperienced in such matters, that in the natural course of things our main work shops will be located within or near the corporate limits of your city. Tbe estimated cost of these shops, with tbe necessary grounds, including depot, is trWO, -U, all of which will be taxable here.

The cumber of men to be employed therein is estimased at about JO, resulting in an addition of 400 families 1, JU0 inhabttanta. Eacb family must have a dwelling house either iu- own or a tenement house at a eoat of not im than fi, tut each, making a tuAal cost of OU1. Thus adding to the actual wealth of the city and bringing ia subject taxation a large amount of property. It may be safely said that these families will pay in taxes tbe various form in which they are called for in the city. At least the sum of (Mj, uut Agam, the principal office of our road must virtually be locMed in the city of RoclKter, thus makins; all the personal property of the company aaaesaaUe here for all purposes of taxation.

In conclusion, gentlemen, we would say that we desire and intend that when our road is oomt kited, it shall be a road fully completed in every repeet, with robing stock of the firs class, sufficient fur all its needs, and to enable as to do this we ask the honor of the credit of Ihe city fur 4U0, im! and offer as security our second mortgaga bonds. Tbe security that we offer we believe to be good beyond a question. Tbe at of our road and equipments in the securities of the company is eauiaated at, par mile, A50.0UU 1 be first mortgage on the roacl is, per mile, $ift, out. We believe that when the road is completed and running is will be worth and will fully ay the siierest oa the estimated cost as aoove given. I must lie rarwmhered that tbe great idea connected with this enterprise is, th1 it is to lea eoal road.

Oa our southern tr-minous tbe beet of bituminous ouaU be in quantities almost beyond compute. It is needed At our northern terminus illoeb-esteii, aud for attribution east and west from there, and akg our entire line, and must be drawn over oar road. Tim moment we an miiminj, tile best pay.
