Mr.. EDrroR : [ do not like to tress-
pass upon your time, nor your pa
tience, Gust as though an editor pos
sessed that quality y but at the request
of several friends, not few of whom
are ladies. [ want to know if our city
fathers have the authority to compel
the railroad companies, at the crossing
of streets. to plank the whole width OF
the street. Most of the streets have
Just plankipg enough in the centre for
teams to cross but when pedestrians
come along, they must either 60 stumb-
ling on the rails, or else step upon the
muddy plank where vehicles cross. OF
tentimes long trains are passing, and
teams, and persons gather, ready to
cross after the train has passed, and
then the rush to cross. for perhaps ano-
Their long train is in sight, and of course
they must mix, in a measure, with the
teams. The railroad companies should
be compelled to remedy this great nui-
sance, and l am sure if our City Fathers
hear of it, they will politely request
them to do what they are by law re-
quired to do. Will the g Col just
notify his Company of this polite note
to you, and also according to his obi
cation, see that the Central Company
attends to street crossings.

A SMINDLER DETECTED.
PoUGHKEEPsIE, April IL

=
A man calling himself Captain John
L. Holmes, has been arrested here on
a charge of swindling, preferred by
parties living at different parts along
the river. He has been operating in
several towns. He is 20 years of age.
The above we take from the New
York Times of this morning.
This same Holmes was in Elizabeth
some three weeks ago, and for several
days sought to impose on the known
good nature of one of our Oldest and
most respectable citizens - retir-
ed merchant. Holmes brought long
letter to this gentleman, represent
ing that son of his uncle had re-
Gently died at Liverpool, and that he
had been requested to carry out the
provisions of the dying mans will and
testament, by delivering to him tour
friend sundry valuable goods such as
broad cloths, silks, shawls, ETC., to the
value of between $40, 900, and $50, 600.
Our friend declined to accompany the
stranger. to a point on Long Island,
where the goods were said to have been
stored, and informed the ''sharper"
that he would make some inquiry into
the matter, which he subsequently did.
The old rascal, true to his appointment
returned after the lapse of few days,
and seemed very much disappointed
on learning that our townsman had de-
cided not to go to Long Island. With
tears in his eyes, he begged the old
gentleman not to neglect the golden
opportunity but the latter was firm,
and the sharper reluctantly left, and
nothing was heard of him or his opera
tions until this morning, when the tel
gram was read.
Our citizens should do well to keep
a sharp eye on strangers, especially
when they represent that thousands of
dollars are held by them in trust for
the living relatives of deceased friends.
Our people are not often defrauded by
these fellows, still, it will be well to
keep sharp lookout for rogues.

be25@ The hogs and goats, so numer-
Gus in the First and Second wards,
which have been the subject of so much
legislation by our City Fathers, in years
past, without any apparent effect, what
ever, are now likely to come to grief,
and the end of their predatory pream-
bulations as some injured parties pos
sessing ample power to enforce their
commands are resolved to put an end
to their career of destruction. A diff
ference of opinion, however, exists as
to the means to be employed, while
some persons think these erratic and
destructive animals should be visited
with condign punishment, others moro
lenidently disposed recommend tho
rough course of training under some
prudent old gentleman, who, Uterus
like, "sitting under the shades of some
large spreading oak" could keep them
under his watchful eye and out Of
harmsway the last idea is a good one
We hope one of our ambitious office
seekers will be favored with the posi-
ton, when he will have an opportunity
to exhibit his smartness and confer Il
lasting benefit on a sorely vexed people.
Success to the undertaking. Mild ways
are generally best.

Ea~ Another false alarm of fire was
raised again last evening-just at the
hour when sensible people were prepar-
ing to retire, We think something
should be done to put a stop to this
practice, and we know of no more eff
fectual method than of erecting the pro-
posed and much-needed fire tower and
alarm. Our best fremen haye been
deceived so often that they now aver
that they will run no more until assured
of fire. We suppose the committee
on public buildings will make favora-
BILE report on the resolution of Council
man Dockry, which was referred to
them, and, if so it will not be long be-
fore we shall have an alarm to warn
our fremen and citizens Of the dread
alarm.

two years ago, took piece Of land ne
cessary for the accommodation Of THEN
road at a point near Summit, in this
county, and the appraisers awarded the
estate of Isaac Bonnell, to which it be-

at law, and the case terminated in our

pEa. The Female Humane Society,
now in its 59th year, (having been es-

have distributed 1928 yards of material,
made As comfortables, and furnished
material for three, made by the persons
to whom they were given, 95 garments,
8 sheets, quilted 7 bed-quilts, in most
cases furnishing the cotton and lining.
The number of contributors have con-
siderably increased during the past
year, and we would still ask for liberal
response from our citizens when called
upon in the coming autumn, as this is
the only benevolent society in the city
that assist all denominations, without
regard to sect or color. A great effort
has been made during the past winter,
to aid those who are particularly deserv-

ford County, Md, Miss Cairnes shot
and killed Nicholas McComas. About
20 persons were seated on the porch of
the village hotel, when Miss Cairnes

alleged cause of the murder was seduc-

brought suit against McComas for
breach of promise of marriage. Both
parties were highly respectable.
