and requirements as to the matter Of all
these complaints, and will in good time rem
edy them. The cars will be painted and IN
order. The objections, both real and fanoi-
full, will be obviated, and the road viii be-
come what it would have been from the be-
ginning, had it then had the support OF these
very men with their money, who now com
plain of it.
With your last correspondent, do not
think the " Sunday afternoon gathering
Objectionable of itself. There are, ofcourse,
many ill-disposed American people who take
advantage of the cheap ride to spend their
sabbaths, not as the Germans do, in quiet
way, but to indulge in their natural rOWdy
dispositions. 1t is question, and have
seen it agitated before, whether this turbu-
lent element in our large population would
not contrive ways and means for an outbreak
in some other direction, or in such special
way as to disturb the peace of society per-
haps to a greater extent.
The city fathers should increase their po-
lice force, if their care for dealing with peo-

your correspondents standard, they would
find an excellent opportunity in this matter
by increasing the number of police. The
road, or its management, cannot be blamed
for an occasional disturbance while there is
no restraining power. think the whole
matter of Sunday snnOyanees complained Of

interest Of the road, and nothing is more
closely watched and guarded against by the
managers than that. Let those who find
fault try in these times, to secure good re-
liable men for such kind of service, and then
see how little they can be depended upon
Wages are high, good men are scarce " and
it is really very difficult to operate a large in

slant personal supervision, and that to the
utmost extent ofany one mans capacity.
am informed that some 81 500 has been
expended this season upon the road bed it
self, and for extending the track to Wood
land Cemetery, and substituting new turn
outs on an improved plan.
The street railroad is not for to-day-but an
accommodation for all time to come. It sheuld
be, and in this case will be, managed so as
to make the interests of the street and those
Of the road mutually advantageous to each
other in every respect. 8.

POLE RAIsINa.-The patriotic men Of
Strongsville and adjoining townships pro-
pose having grand war rally at StrOngs-
willie Center next Saturday afternoon for the
purpose of raising pole and flag. The
ladies are expected to be in attendance in
mass, and as they are always patriotic this
of course will add to the interest of the Oc-
casion. One of the prominent objects of the
meeting is, as it should be at every meeting
Of the kind in these momentous times, to
urge enlistments in our army. Lieutenant
Van Dorm, of Company A, 124th Regiment
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, will be present and
address the meeting.
The Lieutenant has just returned from the
field on a brief furIOugh and he is very anx-
ious to take back with him eight or ten men
to fill up Captain Wilson's Company, which
Company is the finest in the Army of the
Cumberland.
Recruits will be received for any Company
in the Regiment.
Captain Sratton of Company c, 124th
Regiment, will also be present and talk to
his old friends of their duties to their coun-
try in this great struggle.
It is to re hoped that a large assembly
will be On hand, and that many of the
young men of the township may join the
Regiment.
By order of the Cmmittee.
