"Grumbler,' a village correspondent,
grumbles in this wise: 'The deplorable
condition of our roads and streets this
spring will convince the most charitable
observer of the improperly of covering
our road-beds and walks with loan and
quicksand. AS the hill furnishes plenty
of good gravel, it is thought by some to
be folly to sprawl all over 10 or Is acres
of ground to scrape off the top loan and
mixture of quicksand, to form mud in
spring and dust in summer. Perhaps il
digs easier Certainly there ought to be
some good reason for it,
