It han nlways been used by pedestriaiis as a short cut up town. lint since au attt-mpt has been made to lower the road fin txcavatiou twenty live or thirty feit deep is left like a yuwnlng gulf as a trap for a any beUted or unwai v passer by and Hiere left unc;aurdcd. I have often trena bied as I thouht what a fearful thiiif; it would be for any person to plunje headioofi down that precipioe of sliarp stones and biambles in rul ark nigbt Without wainlng, little tliink that would be my terrible experience. A horse feil tbere som e years ago and broke bis neck. 1 have not only "sustalned several severa bruises" but am prostrated on a bed of sickness by fever and serious nternal deiangements of the vital orgüiis caused wholly by the f all, thns not only sufftring mach pain but seriously aflecting my business. At least there should be danjrer bíííiiüIs to waru "Uiers agatntt falllng into the trap left open by neglijrence by the jiuardiaus of the people's safety.
