used thesbest material that could be pro-
cured, and the plans of the leading engln-

Some of our neighbors about the Cen
ter street station, seem to think this town
about finished, and that all there is to d.
now to consumate the enterprise is to 'fence
it in" The work was began few weeks
ago on a short street cut across from Fisk
to Centre, both ends of which were boarded
up by order of the corporation Solicitor,
notwithstanding it is claimed to have been
laid out upon private prOperty-belonging
to the railroad Co. Since that was accom-
plished, Supt. Mccoy, on behalf of the A.
Y. & P. Co. has closed. up the passage
across its premises, lying between the A. Y.
& P. and the A. J, & F., at the Fisk street
end, and also that between Good & Ran
dalPs Office and the track on the north side
Centre st. But here arose a difficulty at
once, as it cut that firm off from their lum-
Der and coal yard. 1t, therefore, became
necessary to push the office building over
something like the width of it, so as to
leave a driveway through. This accom-
plished, the sidewalk in front of the new
fence, laid by Good & Randall in view of
the use of the premises as driveway, was
taken up and the A. Y. & P. Co. notified to
lay down a new one. There the matter
rests for the present, and whether the work
of finishing that end of town will be renew
ed by these ambitious pioneers time will re-
veal
This is the way they talk about us
abroad. Inasmueh as it is true, it is a lit
tie notifying and therefore, good for re-
proof and discipline. Inasfar as it refers
TO our bredth of ideas, and the brsdth of
our ladies and their phylactories, while it
comforts our complacency and Injuries no
one, it will do to pass by with smile,
for everybody knows that strutting is
common weakness, and young cities are liza
Dle to be overtaken by it. But who is this
Mr.. Camp? is he qualified by freedom from
vanity and small pride thus to speak of his
neighbors?
The paragraph following, is from The
Plain Dealer, an excellent paper, with
proper allowances, especially such allow
anees as are made for rivalry:
BENIGHTED AsHTABULA.-It was stated
by Mr.. Camp at the Tabernacle last even
ming that down in Ashtabula the people
think their place is about five hundred
times bigger than. Cleveland and cores
Pondingly important and that the ladies
manifest their assumed superiority in dress
and in. the way they take up the sidewalks.
That was the only place where an effort
had been made to erase the word sChris-
tian" from the name of the National
Christian Temperance Union and to strike
the word 'God" from the pledge. Mr..
Camp said he told the people there that
they lifted their eyes to look at the skies
and imagined themselves the center of Gre
alton but he told them that if they didn't
lower their vision and see what is going on
around them they will go down to ruin.
