ULTIMATE AFFAIRS.

The old gods ware, and new gods come;
And men, where they may once have Swet
Bend puzzled knees, and find them dumb
These gods to whom their fathers dwelt
If in strange temples far and near
To earths gods can not bow,
Let but kneel to Beauty here,
Who bears her god-head on her brow,

appointed to consider the 9TH street
crossing near the depot:
To the Mayor and City Council Of
the City of Ellen,burg,
Gentlemen:
We. your committees appointed u"
investigate the railroad crossing at 'th
street. beg to report as follows:
We have examined the crossing ana
find il to be extremely dangerou, from
the fact that the switch engine Is fire.
ouentlv crossing and recrosSing the
same and without giving any warning
aud i, is impossible for teamster to
tell when an engine is coming whether
or not it will stop or proceed across the
crossing.
In our Judgment the only efectual
remedy is for an over head crossing to
be put in, the same to be 20 feet wide
with six foot reilng en- each side, and
an additional four foot walk for foot
travellers.
We think, from the lay of the ground
that such a structure could be built at
not a very great expense, and In view
of the concessions we have recently
made to the railway company, we are
of the opinion that the expense OF con-
struction should be borne by them.
That some change in the present sys-
TEN must be early installed is fore
gone conclusion and we believe that
the plan above suggested is the best
one at hand. Respectfully submitted.
