HoPE.-When the new Mayor Mr.. S.
c. TALCoTT, takes his seat, and gathers
about him the new Council, which will
be on Monday evening next. it is to be
hoped that among the first steps taken,
will be that of obtaining a new and eff.
ficient street committee to direct the ef-
forts of the commissioner towards put
ting the highways of the village into
something like a tolerable conIItion.-
Some o: these certainly, demand little
vigor in that direction. None of them are
anything to brag of. and some of them,
certainly are discreditable. Lake street
perhaps is among the worst, and should
receive early attention. For pleasure as
well as business perhaps, this will be the
most important road during the summer
season, and should be put in good con-
dition. At present, the ruts and mud.
holes, especially on that portion towards
the corporation line, take a buggy in al.
most to the hub, and are provocative oi

drawback to christian grace and blame.

TEMPERANCE.-We notice by our ex
changes that the faith and works of the
friends OF temperance are not tagging in
many places in the State, notwithstanding
that some of these places, like our own.
suffered in the election, repulse. The
people still gather in their strength and
enthusiasm, and by their action give the
trafficers little grounds for serenity and
confirmation in their conclusions that
they have seen the worst of the agitation.
On Sunday evening last, the Rev. Mr..
Haydn of the First Church of Cleveland,
as we see by the Herald, gave powerful
address to his people in encouragement to
keep the cauldron bubbling. His instruc-
tions were that organizations must be kept
up, the public must be piled with facts
appeals and arguments; the mass meet
ings must be largely attended, no dus,
must accumulate on the pledge books, the
work must be made one of the branches
of church work, etc. The late elections
were not to have any depressing effect
The temperance question is greater and
wider than any party question. The cause
was not staked on the ballot. it was an ev.
grabbing principle, and not question oil

but it is, nevertheless, 10 be furthered in
every way proper. Temperance men
must select the party, all other things be
ing equal, that would best advance the
eradication of intemperance. The victo
ry when it is gained, which would be in
Gods own good time, would be in'euch Q
way that man would ascribe it to God
alone, ni'ss- - ~ g.

THE ROLLING MILL.-We are much
gratifed to announce, after rather Sc
we're effort on the part of the soliciting
committee, that the stock subscription for
securing the location of this establishment
among us, was made full on Wednesday
evening last After getting within about
1900 of the amount, and the whole pro-
ject hanging heavily by the eyelids, a
company of gentlemen owning territory
near the L. S. & NJ s. round house, came
forward with proposition to make up the
deficit of subscription, and convey in fee
six acres of land in that locality, on con-
ditiun til, t the mill should be located on
the spot designated. This proposition met
with general favor among the subscribers,
and the prospect seems to be that it will
be accepted. The only obstacle in the
way is the possible refusal of the three
gentlemen who are TO run the mill, to en-
dorse the proposed location. Should they
so refuse, then the proposition fails, and
has no binding force, and the deficit re-
mains to be made up in some other way
The location seems to be favorable one,
and the opinion, so far as we have been
able to gather it, is that the subscription
will be closed, and the location of the
rolling mill will become a fixed fact in
this place on the basis of this proposition.
