Years confinement in the State Prison at the
January term of the Orange County Court.
At the same term. Abel II. Patch aged about
nineteen. was sentenced to one year in the
State Prison, fer breaking into dwelling
house and stealing watch, the property of
E. Deckerman. Esq. Boys, beware of evil
company In the fate of these unhappy
young men you see to what it leads. There
are some boys in our Village who now bid
fair to come into the employ of the State, and
unless there is a change we shall expect to be
obliged to chronicle their emigration TO
Windsor And in this connection, we would
ask why some of the places in our Village
where Intoxicating liquor is furnished are
not shut up? Only few days since there
was q drunken man Keeling through our
Streets at midday. Try the Maine law on
them: we know of no reason why it would
not be as etfcacious here as in other parts Of
tue State.
