A QuestiOr on Which All the Ladies'
viii Vote Aye

The old-fashioned crossings" flag
gings Were taken up when Main and
Broad streets were paved with granite,
and thus o much smoother roadway was
made. It is better for horses and yehi-
cles, hut worse for pedestrians.
All this winter-indeed for many win
ters past-our people have been Vading
across nasty, muddy streets In many
places the crossings exist only in
imagination.
The theory is that the street-hands
will keep the crossings tolerably clean,
but they are not numerous enough to do
it. Besides no sooner are the crossings
swept than vehicles begin dragging the
dirt and slush back upon them.
Richmond never has and for many
years to come will not employ enough
hands to keep her streets in good order,
and that being the case the question
arises. Hadn't we better restore the old
crossings, which were made of solid
granite blocks raised about an inch above
the roadway

was in the city Sunday.
Mr.. r. Y. Owen, purser of the Ariel,
has been kept at home for week by
sickness.
There were no services at the Presby-
terian church on Sunday, and the in
clement weather caused the attendance
at the other churches to be much smaller
than usual.
\ meeting Of those interested in the
formation Of Young Mems Christian
Association in this city will be held at
the Central Methodist church tonight,
when the Finance Committee will re-
port. This movement is growing in in
terest, and there is little doubt that an
association will be formed on q safe
basis.
Rev. John ]. Clopton, rector of Meade
Memorial church, held his regular meet
ing for boys at 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon. He talked to them on the sub
iect of temperance, and illustrated his
remarks 10y drawings on :he blackboard.
On Thursday night. March lst, the
opera a New-Year's Reception will
be presented at Cersley's Hall by the
Manchester Dramatic Club for the bene-
fit of the Door of the city.
The February term of the Chesterfield
County Court began yesterday. There
are no important cases set for this term,
and it will probably not continue longer
than to-day.
A number of excursionists went over
to Petersburg Sunday morning, expect
ing 70 return on the evening train; but
the train did not return, as hands were
cleaning up wreck. They remained at
the depot in Petersburg until after 10,

this city walked to Petersburg and back
the same day.
