TIE Gas Trouble.
The is some talk Of holding al int:i t,na-
ton meeting here to take action Oh the gas
question. The people have Stood the impo-
sition Of poor gas and heavy bills for yeals
past, and are now awakening to the folly
of submitting TO it any longer. The Gas
bills presented to cOnsumers this quarter
have been outrageous and general indig-
nation is felt and given utterance to with
regard to the matter. ~ CORNER employee
aifirms that he WIS discharged Tor per
siSting in the demand for fresh lime,
which is necessary to the production "i
good gas. That on hand had been used
until it became So worthless that it form
cd a gum Oh pipes and burners. Tie gas
company now has cn hand y lalge pnan-
tity Of coal Of poor quality, which is to-
tally unfit for making gas. AS lrA, as
this coal lasts the gas will be l,cnr and tic
people must submit 10 the w-}nG. Tho
coal was purchased because it VAS chcai',
but the gas bills were lot made les Oh this
account. Negotiatiuns aro new h"iu: made
by several of our merchants with 4 view
to having electric lights placed in tEc.l
business places. But every person cann'
afford this, and the public can ad,rS rcs1iu-
tions which, If carried ca, will soon bring
the gas company - is kne'H. It is about
time to teach it 4 lesson. The public has
suffered long enough and should not pam
per to few mems greedy arpetites any
longer.

Lancaster cemetery, has rendered his res
ignation to the board If directors. 10 take
effect on the 1st Of April. For IS years
Mr.. Lutz has held the position, and
has discharged his duties in a faithful
and efficient manner. The rapidly in-
creasing duties of the office, v hich has no;
been met with corresponding increase OF
fees is, We learn, Mr.. Lutz's principal rca
son for resiEning. 1t might be worth
while ior tho board OF directors to consider
whether it would not he better to iucrease
the compensation 81 .e superintendent
rather than to lose ,he services Of ali cx-
ceIlcnt, long tried officer.
