great distance

Many pedestrians living in the north end
of the village have prayed to the old Board in
vain for good walks on Dewey Street between
Judge McGonigars and G. J. Hydes down to
Mitchels corner, and on Monroe Street beside
the Budd and Alt properties. If the new
Board do not at once attend to these walks
the only punishment we pronounce against
them is that they be required to go at nat
ural gait over these walks in pairs side by side.
Three "prarie schooners" headed for

T. Beebe and Abner Clark. The second had
S. f. Watkins, j. Thompson and Frank Kali
tenbach. The third had l. II. Gibbons and Il
