Show There is an abominable crossing between S-P- Teasdel's and Barnes & Davis' places of busmess. It i3 entirely unnecessary to describe it, the public in general knowing it too well. If the city won't compel these merchants to repair that insufferable, dirty, dangerous place, why don't Mr. S. P. Teas-del Teas-del and Barnes & Davis jointly put down a cobble or a fag-stone crossing? If they can't united, one or other of the firms would lose nothing by independentlv gointothe expense of having the matter attended to. V e confidently believe that if these gentlemen gentle-men would put down one of the crossings suggested, that they would lose nothing by the expenditure. The newspapers in the city would praise them for it, and the public show then- appreciation by an increase of patronage. In this connection another matter mat-ter might as well be mentioned, and that is in relation to teams coming out of alleys. The City Council would display a philanthropic philan-thropic interest for the public by passing an ordinance prohibiting teams from trottinw m and out of alleys, and compelling teamsters team-sters to sound a-large bell before driving out, said bell to be handily arranged in the alley, so that drivers could ring it without trouble.
