-In a vory hort time Adam Forepaíjgjí's aggrcgation ia to xhibit at Ann Arbor. It consista of two Moíagerieí, a magnifkent Museum, and doublo Circus troupe. Many of our readers particulary tho.se of a show going disposition will rememjor what ai) cxeelïcnt oxhibition Mr. Fokepacou brought to our State in 1870, and what general atisfaction it gave to a!i wlio attended, and the mínense andiences it attracted. His present stabiishittent e, we nro informed, five times noro extensivo now tlian it was in 1870, At Washington, Baltimoío, Pittsburg and Chicago, where it now is exhibiting it is pronounced the flnest exhibition, of the kind, in tha worli It does not travel by rail, but moves over tho counry on wheels, with an army of men and horses. t is to traverse our entire State during tho months of May and Juna, and as it " goes marching on " our people ean judgo of its magnitude and morit. Tho committec of Aldermen appointec] by ;ho Combion Couucil to investígate the capaeity oí the Bunker power to " elévate" water for the use of the city - soe Coitnoil proceedings - shoultl rememler that " clevation " simply is not what the plan of the Citizenu' Committee proposes. The Holly system of clis;ribution roqnirei a maximum power and presé ire in roadme S at all times. A powor amp'.e to " elévate " water into tt distributing resor1-oir is nut tufficient to work the Holly system with the bet pumps that can be obtained : that is it can not be relied upon for every day and boni in the year where oontümal pumpinj is noecssary to keep up supply. What can be rlone ai the Bunker power with the lluron at its lowest ',aycs? is the question for the committee to consider. At the recent charter election in Sonth Bendt Ind., the Holly Works schema, persistent attempts tb forcé which apon tlie citv liad been made, was "knocked higher tlian Güdnroy's kite." Even yielding the Holly pumps- as has been done hy the citizens' committee hero - failed to save the system, whioh is the same no matter whosc pumps are usod. And it is just so wherever a test vote is taken. South Bond follows Toledo and adopts the stand-pipo system: the next best qmtna af ter an elevated reservoir, üur Council should mako a note of such facts ■ The annual meeting of the State Sunday School Association is announced to be held in Kalamazoo, June 3d, 4th, and 5th.
