THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE UyHgRDED.
To ne Editor IF Tie Stdr-As the solitary voice
OF The ptople, though coming from every ward
in the CITY, seems to be insufficient to secure the
8batl ment Of the COW nuisance, permit nue. once
more, ard in behalf of an entire congregation,
to solicit the attention Of the proper authorities
to ;his sbominable imposition. The immediate
vicinity OF st. Johns church, on the corner Of

fsvorite resort Of these half starved animals,
aId from i've to ten of them may be found at
almost any hour of the day, Sundays not ex-
copied, subjectiDg the citizens of that vicinity
to every kind of Inconvenience. Can nothing
he done for our relief? Will not the police look
into this trouble, and suggest remedy?

but now, on account Of the stOppage OF the
North German lines, which are the best GUS
TONERS Of the Cumberland mines, the demand
Is hardly worth mention.
