pains have been taken by the people Of

ps. around il, trees were planted and i.

park, but last winter the fence was torn
down in many places BY reason Of hitch .
Jog horses TO II, and the gate il fallen
down, and the yard thrown open, leaving
the grass, the trees and everything else
open 70 b. destroyed and ,rampled down.
Under this state Of affairs We 6nd many
ill.nasured. snarlins cynics and political
gamss.srs are sndeavoring 70 create cap
i.al against Us, and throw Us into preiu {.
dice and c,nsempt among the people be.
cause We, - Judge Of the County. do
no. repair the fence and say the waste.
Now for eur own defence let Us state
a few facts
Let. As Judge we manage and control
ths finances Of the County, AMI j. il our
duty 10 guard them faithfully and eco.
n omically.
lud. This Court Yard is not pro oerty
Of The County nor under its control. but
,spaalic ground. belonging to and unde,
The control Of Ire town or its authorities.
81 A. IN agent or manager for the
Coua,y We have u, business. no riga,
nor authority To speA the money Of the
p.,2l. OF ,as C,uay 10 benefit the peo-
pls Of Upton, nor TO improve prop rly
no, belonging to the Coua,y.
ith. That the people oil the C,ua,y
should not be .axed nor pay their IN ,ney
1, aid in inproviny the town Of Upton,
nor properly uni.r its control, bu, tina, if
thu town wants nice park in ITS centre
1t is ior them 10 fix !, AID repair It.
5.h. Blu: in view o! the fac, that it has
been promised that the block should be
Iansi, fred - the Coun.y. by act OF the
Legislature. We have made the offer time
aud again that il tho town would So i'm
prove the streets by putting rp posts and
rails around the curt yard 40 to prevent
pcople FROM hi.ching their horses to the
fencs, that We would build new fence
on the west side and repair the cas-, side
The fence will do no good 50 long as il
IL l-f 90 that al the teams and horses
which visit the town are fastened TO il. as
IL will be torn down ~ las, as pu. up, bu,
il the town viii pu. up heir posts and
rails arouud it, NC will bald the fence,
but r.H not do . single strok. uai4 Ibis is
done. Nov we hope We are understood
and are willing the grumblers. the fault.
hndcrs, and political capital monsers may
say just what they please, ba, !, will Rave
no effect On ", a. we shall do nothing
until the town shows they have interes,
snsuga in the matter TO pfo,ec, fence if
the County should Lu,!L oa- IL. them.
One thing father. ". have sspn and
heard some complaint. Ct u tina, lie ience
IVES net repaired nor the yard taken care
,oi, and that the trees are broken down
and destroyed, while At the same time
they are cond-mning us..heir own hopeful
sons are breaking down the trees and do
'og their utmost to lay waste the improve.
.nents Of the park.
In conclusion then We would say j. the
people Of Upton ~,sh Tor nice. hand
some park here in the centre Of their
town. let them do their duty first. lie, ,heui
keep their unruly boys from destroying
tho srces-ses out the hi,ching posts aud

them . Be their preroga.ivs to pu. dowr
and drive out any and everything which

Sysody must make way and clear the
track Tor these ungovernable prodigies
There ara reasons for al this, one oil
which will be sufficient, it Is ,b.s, tina. i,
may trequsntly be seen that when any
