THE BALL THROWING NUIsANCE.-
Probably greater nuisance than rope
skipping, hoop rolling or careless street
sprinkling, is the habit peculiar to boys
and young men OF pitching and throwing
base balls to each other on the sidewalks.
As the balls are as apt to fly irto the face
ofthe passer by as into the hand stretch
ed out to receive them, the practice is
dangerous. And as these balls are fire.
quently coated with gutter filth and are
apt to be projected against the clothing
of the anxious pedestrian, the practice is
a nuisance. The ladies want to know
what Captain Davis thinks about il.

POUND PARTIES.

We received the following communi.
cation by telegraph, from Bellaire, last
night: ~
BELLAIRE, April Il, 1875.
Editors OF the Register:
Lstterly at appears that the good peo-
ple of our city have conceived the idea
that pound parties are just the thing 10
raise the finances Of q church, and q
few of our good sisters of the M. T..
Church have imbued the contagion, and
on last Friday night, were moved BY the
spirit, to Insugurate pound party. AS
far as the pound is concerned we are not
disposed to bubble about that, but enc
thing is evident, the manner in which
they are conducted tend in no way to
promote the spiritual welfare Of the
church. When it becomes necessary to
resort to otner than the ordinary
means to raise the finances
of church, it would be
isr better to have place selected as
far removed as possible from the sancti-
ty of the church, so that no intrusive
characters could enter to deile or de-
fame the house of God, or to conduct
themselves in an uAbecoming manner.
While the object is good one, we are
emphatically disposed to call in question
the means employed. When the
spirituality of church gets so low that
it has TO be supported by pounds, it were
better by far that that church would
close its doors, and take down single
and write the inscription thereon, "Th:s
church has been sold for pound"

TIE PosToFPIcE-About Gas.-The
appropriation made by the Radical Con-
gress for the supply Of gas and fuel 70
the United States buildings, gave out be-
fore The ending of the fiscal year, which
ends July let next. The result Is that the
postofices In the most important cities
of the Union have been deprived Of
those important and indispensable srti'
Giles. OF course, since the postoftice is
compelled to close up in the evening be-
fore the mails are distributed
or assorted for destinations, dark
ness comes on and they
ire unable to do thei' duty, or con form
with the wants and necessities OF the
people of this community. There is no
possible way to get out o. the difficulty
unless the light is furnished gratuitously.
From the despatch received by Captain
Rawlings, Postmaster, published in yes
terday's REGISTER, there seems to be no
prospect of immediate relief. In st.
Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati, the gas
companies, which are controlled by pri-
vatc corporations have voluntarily
agreed to furnish light to the
postoffice free of charge, considering it
was public benefit. 1t must be re-
membered the above gas companies were
owned and run by private citizens. and
yet they did this for public benefit.
In this city, the city corporation owns
the gas works; that is, The people OF
Wheeling own them, and the point we
want to get at is this: That the gas works
are owned by the city, and that the tax
payers and citizens generally are inter-
ested and DESTROYS OF having them paid
for us soon as possible, it
would not be only right, but
just that the trustees of the gas works
adopt resolution to furnish tbe Custom
House with gas during the time inter-
vening between this date and the first of
July, at which time there will be funds
to pay the expenses in such matters.
Ii the trustees refuse to do this we
hope Council, at the meeting next Tues
day night, will compel them to do SO.
The people of Wheeling demand it, and
the trustees of the gas works should
not delay in their action, as
the exigencies Of the case .demanI it.
The public would be benefited, and as
they own the gas works any further ac-
ton, other than the trustees,
in fact, is not needed. We
hope the Board of Trustees
have enough of foresight to look at things
correctly and ACT accordingly. The peo-
pie will watch the result of their de-
cision and also that of Council. "Lut us
have mere light.
