The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1855-12-22

New YORK, Dec. II, 1865.
The rate at Hhich New York increases in
population, and the consequent want Of
room compels US TO act oftentnes in such
manner as would excite the Indignation, if
not the wrath of some of our puritancal
neighbors. This is most apparent in the
manner in which we dispose Of our church.
cs Nearly all the ediliccs which were de
voted to religious services in the lower part
Of the city, have been put to other purpose
than those for which they were originally
intended. Our present general post office
was church and at no great distance
stands u building now used as a brokers Of
flee and stock exchange, that was also
church. Thus, where God was one time
worshippcd men now bow down to Nam
mon. In another part Of the city, nca. the
park, church was converted into a livery
stable, and another at no great distance, is
now used as a ten-pin alley and billiard sa.
loon. Where such an aggloneration ofpco.
pie exists as here in New York, the most il
/ lustrous names are met, in the most unex.
pected places John Milton sells apples out

mend clothes with ncatncss aud dispatch {;
Alexander Pope is the keeper of an oyster
cellar; Walter Scott peddics milk through
/ the streets; and j. Christ is the keeper of
restaurant in Church strect--onc Of the
most infamous localities in the city
/ Our city, Or rather our streets, commit
I sad havoc upon horse flesh. The immense
travel soon wears the pavement smooth,
causing horses to fall continually. Walking
I up Broadway to-day, between the City Hall
and Union Place, | counted sixteen horses
that had fallen, two of which had broken a
leg, and were instantly killed. The owners
Of horses are making loud complaint: H..
mayor recommends cutting grooves j., tho
stones to prevent the slipping; t.c only e.
iectual remedy is the adopii~,u of IN, iron
pavement, which is 50 fc.nca ms TO make il
