gard to building a wharf at the foot Of
Locust street. Lately We have heard
nothing said on this subject. Is it not
a matter OF sufficient interest for the
people to look after? This wharf is
needed badly and we hope some action
will be taken IN regard TO its coustruc
tion.

The Wheeling and Lske Erie rail-
road seems to I've the subject OF partlc-
ular attention in the northern part OF
the State. From late Ns,o London
Record, we see that money is being

pronounced one Of the best CONNER
cial roads in the State, as it will pass
through a portion OF the richest manu>

glass-in the United States. 1t will
also afford connection with all the prln-
cipal railroads OF the north crossing

through without delay, as soon as pre-
liminaries can be arranged.
BELLAlRE.
THIS morning as Bigelow's team was
coming up Water street with heavy
load OF merchandise, the team stalled
in front OF the Belmont House, and il
was some time before they could be
started. We have often noticed the
ruts and mudhoies that embellish
Water street in some places, but have
reirained from speaking OF them, think
ing the street would soon be fixed. This
is the principal street in town, or the
one in which the moot hauling is done
and needs TO be in good repair. This
place in front OF the Belmont House,
the people say, is a continual nuisance
and needs culvert or some substantial
means OF drainage, and then TO be filled
up and graded. When q powerful team
stalls under ordinary load on public
street it is certainly time that street was
attended 10.

We hear considerable com plant con-
corning the want of order and dlstur-
bauce around the corners at
night. Last night, it is said in
several parts OF the town crowds OF
loa'eIs collected aud kept up their noise
until almost one o'clock, disturbing
citizens who wished for quiet.
The Marshal was seen this morning
driving a drove Of hogs down from
Gravel Hill, and in all parts OF town
we hear complaints made concerning
the enforcement OF the ordinance re-
curing them to be kept off the streets,
We are glad this law is being enforced,
and also that requiring carts to be kept
off the streets. And trough al present
the people complain, they will soon see
that anything that adds to the welfare
OF tie town is to their own interest, and
will feel proud OF the beauty OF their
improved streets.
