rain, but now that 1t has come not every
body is satisfied. Ii we can't have side
walks, cannot we have crossings? II
this one shower makes it almost impossi-
BILE to cross the streets, the mud and slush .
of winter will surely make the entirely
so, and they ought to be fixed before any
more rains come.
A LITERARY society does not seem to
be taking Institution here. There have
been three meetings held for the purpose
of organizing one, but to no effect. The
last was held on Monday night, and as
there were only two gentlemen who took
sufficient interest to turn out they have
given up all hopes of organization.
Mr.. OTTo SMITH has the most striking
sign in town, painted on the side of his
grocery.
WE hear of societies for the preven-
ton of cruelty to animals, but a society
for the prevention of cruelty to children,
it seems to US, would be quite as much to
the point. When children are allowed
TO run barefooted and half clad, such
weather US this, it means sickness if not
death, and if parents have not sufficient
means of industry to furnish more com
Portable clothing, they should be assisted
or labored with.
For several days during the first of
the week, they were quite busy weighing
cinders at the Blast Furnace, to be ship
ped to Steubenville on the &. i 7. Kali
road. Owing to the low condition OF the
river, it was impossible to get them up
it. So they were bought in Wheeling,
brought to this side, and shipped from
here, which seems a pretty hard and eX-
pensive way of obtaining material.
OUR iron manufacturers are watching
proceedings in Pittsburgh pretty closely,
and if the men will work there on the
proposed reduction in prices, there Is II
possibility of its going into effect here
WHILE vines trained over doors, win
dows and fronts of houses in summer

LAST night there was meeting of the
special committee appointed by the Coun-
ell the night before to consider the mat
ter of numbering the houses. Mr.. Ward,
of Columbus, Ohio met with them IN
order to explain his plan, which he asks
the Council to adopt, and it is the very
one they should adopt. 1t is the same
plan of numbering as is used in Philadel-
phia, st. Louis, and other cities, and
serves rs a perfect directory. We hope
our Council may adopt Mr.. Wards p!an,
and that our city will be properly NUM-
bered before christmas.
THERE will be number one wedding

who has selected young lady of this
county to travel down the river Of time
