The trustees Of the village or the highway
surveyor are liable to indictment for the
condition Of our village streets. Instead OF
mrnpiling the roads last summer that the
water might run off each side into the
titcheS. wa:er-bars were made Of unusual
frequency. This answered very well for a
summer arrangement" but this winter
-hrv are intolerable. At every bar, and
,omrtimeS Oftener. there IS a "cradle
pitch. which is daily growing more for
milable. There is one of these unmitigat-
Il nuiSances in front of our office. One
lay last week an elderly gentleman who
mad come down to market with his pork
md potatoes was returning home with his
pockets full and his lumber box empty.
The horses were at brisk trOt. while the
driver was perched up Oh the front of the
box gazing about the street. When his
leigh emerged from this cradle-hole the
old gentleman suddenly disappeared back
Yards into the bottom of the box. Fol
,omt 80 seconds nothing was seen of him
az his boots which were sticking up above
he top Of the sleigh. He finally cot right,
td and went on his way.
