his reason tina: be lost his arm in the Con-
federate service The questioner was sat-
isfed
Was there ever place on the continent
where such laxity exists in regard to clean
ing sidewalks as there does right here in
the city Of Watertown? Population over
10000 of what is supposed TO be decent,
respectable people, and yet, as a general
thing, they will allow impossible barriers
of snow to pile up on their sidewalks to the
discontinue Of the walking public.
The heaviest snow-storm of the season
ragged here all day Monday and far into
the ght, blockading the roads and imped-
ing travel. Tuesday morning pedestrians
found it rather difficult to get about with
the great amount Of snow piled up on the
streets and sidewalks. People can now rest
easy in regard to the sleighing, as there is
plenty Of snow tor this purpose and to spare.
A writer in the Wisconsin of Saturday
makes a strong appeal in behalf of retaining
Rev. NJ. W. Reed in Milwaukee. The
writer says that probably no other minister
in Milwaukee has ever carried Gospel infiu-
ence so far in the direction where it is
most needed as he has done; that there are
ged in shirt and ragged in heart, who will
be sorry to have Mr.. Reed go. The appeal
concludes with the following:
Are there forty men ia Milwaukee to-day
driving fast horses on Grand avenue who
will deny themselves, say just a little less
guilt on their harness? IL need be no
greater than this. Are there forty men
who will spend $40 less this year than they
did last? Are there forty men who will in
a simple feeling of sympathy for those
whom Dir. Reed has benefited help to keep
bIm here by making this sacrifice?
If such there be their names will be cor
daily and gratefully received by letter ad-
dressed TO S. Dewhurst, ALI Milwaukee st.
