A WRONG fMpEEss1os.-There has
been a great many slurs thrown out
about the society Of Point Pleasant,
that is: that some Of the moneyed
people looked with contempt upon
those less fortunate than themselves,
this is an erroneous impression. The
only requisites necessary for a pass
port into the bestsociety in this city,
are good manners, good morals, re,
finement, intelligence, integrity and
industry. The family of the mechan,
ic, the merchant, the banker and the
capitalists, all move in the same cir,
Gle, and meet on terms of perfect eq,
uality. We have as large a per cen
tage of good society in Point Pleas
ant, as can be found in any place Of
equal population; as much intelli-
gence, refinement and moral worth,
as graces any other town on the con-
tinent, and as little of shoddy arts
tocracy. And the charge that We
have a 'stuck-up" and selfish soci-
ETY., is false.

night Of last week, at Cheshire, Ohio,
the safe in the store Of Messrs. L. W.

burglars, and relieved of between
ten and twelve hundred dollars, the
greater amount of which belonged to
citizens who had placed it in the

of the many safes in use in stores
are worth a cent. People should not

ArrsyrIoS-We desire to call the
especial attention OF the authorities
to the crossing on cornerof Mainland
9th streets. The pavement on sixth
street is built on the grade establish
ed by the Common Council, but the
street has never been graded, and is
some eighteen inches higher than
Main street; hence this crossing is al
ways covered with mud, dragged on
10 it from sixth street. To suffer
any of the crossings to remain in a
muddy condition for even one day Is
not only wrong, but shows an mex
cusable neglect of duty on the part
Of our city authorities.
