Con nor OB? crook waa out of Ita banks in most plaooa?. On the 12 ? the mail oar rier couldn't oross Sltton b bridge, and the people on tho west of ConnerosB were deprived of getting; their mail. We call the attention of the County Commission ers to the need of a high bridge at thia place. The old bridge oould bo moved above tho mill and lt would not be so easy overflowed. It would give us a more diront rou to to Soneoa and two or throe milos nearer. Would also oall the attention of the Commissioners to a dangerous place. That is at the railroad orossing In Senooa at M. W. Coleman's warohouso. The crossing is very narrow. It should be at least thirty feet wide. Frequently ears are stopped near the crossing, often oaustng your horse to shy and run off in the gully, whioh is washed very deop. Now a request to tho Town Counoil of Senooa, enpeoially to the Intendant. We ask thom to tako down the hitching rings on tho sidewalks and allow no ono to hitch on the sidewalk. Wo have notlood at times that tho street and side walk in front of the businoss houses wore completely blookadod with lumber wagons, buggies, horses, oto., which makes it vory disagreeable in passing from tho stores to the publio square.
