Transit Facilities Wanted.
Steps are being taken of very import
ant character, which may eventually lead
TO the establishment of better facilities
for reaching the upper part of Johnston
by way Of the Hartford pike, namely. the
starting Of a bus line TO run from the Elm
House as headquarters TO Buffers Ex-
change in this city. Frank u. Hall, who
has the matter under consideration, Is
the line, and it is expected that in two or
three days the busses will be running, as
he to-day bought thirty seated one TO be
put on Immediately.
This is indeed important from more
points than one, as il will not only ac-
commodate the,residents of that growing
section, but may sooner or later lead the
Union Railroad Co.'S. extending their
tracks along Hartford avenue. if they see
thai such venture would pay. That
part OF Johnston is not to be overlooked,
as 1t Is becoming more and more popu-
lous every day, and will assist itself be-
fore long. There are at present no means
whatever to reach any point on this street,
except by walking the whole distance, or
else through onto Plainfield street TO the
horse cars, and it is about as long one way
as the other. It is becoming more OF a
necessity each hour, that some way TO at
tain this point should be inaugerated,
hence Mr.. Halls project Is one which will
meet the sanction OF the people.

Lawless Snowballing.
1t has since this last snowfall, come to
such pass, that it is unsafe for anyone
to ride along Valley street, especially ut
noontime. Yesterday noon, and i'm fact
for several moons past, certain Of the
employees at Fletcher's mills have made a
practice of standing outside on the walk,
and pelting every team that comes along
There are also n number of boys who con-
gregate on High street in the vicinity of
Sycamore and Tobey streets, who twice
balling old gentlemen who have no means
of defence. They should be stopped and
that soon.
