STREET CRossrSo.-Much complaint IN
made by our citizens because no street
crossings are made. Two or three weeks
ago when our neishbors at Virginia
were making their streets crossable. we
suggested in the NEWS that /, was about
time the crossings were put in at Gold
Hill. This could have been done Mt
half tho expense that 1t can be now,
when Main street is a river OF mud. The
only decent crossing in Gold Hill, ex-
cept the railroad track, il in front OF
Franksnhsimer's. where little Philly. or
some Of the grown up neighbsrs, coca.
sionally sweep or hoe of the thickest Of
the mud. so that the ladies' can cross
without soiling their pretty ankles. Gold
Hill Is not a good place for street cross,
ings. II is hard to make one that Will
stand the wear and tear OF the heavily
loaded teams continually passing down
the steep declivity Of Main street. Ordi-
nary plank crossings are OF no more use
than so many rye straws. The hrst
heavy rough-loeked load Of quartz. pass.
ing. would tear them out without hall
irving. The best crossing. in fact the
only ones found practicable here. are
made Of heavy blocks Of timber three or
four feet long. set up endwise, with
their upper ends a few inches above the
surface, placed in rows far enough apart
for people to step from n to the other,
thus leaving room for the wagon wheels
TO pass between. In the present con
dition Of things. Main street shosld be
bridged over, ~tunnelled under. or the
Town Trustees should DO made to earn
their enormous salaries by packing peo-
pie across.

them credit. This morning. NJ the
Wsshoe nearsd the Baltic switch. six
loaded ore dumps were thrown Oh the

A. NJ. III, track was cleared and every
thing il now running smoothly. The
accident Is attributed to a broken axe or
pedestal.
