We have rarely, IL ever, known al o.n.,.,

prevailed for considerable length OF time past
Our entire exemption from public disturbance.
OF every character ought 10 be a source of general
conSraiulation among the moral and order lowing
portion az our citizens, when we remember how
IcYuehtIy the community was annoyed by such
ueInp. stisucns some time back. The entire
community seems to b. drawn more CLOSELY, r.
sether oy very pTaiseworthy fraternal feeling
tn an extent rarely, II ever enioyed hefors .ss
general thing. The aforementioned veTy pleasant
condiuon OF society is we believe the inrpsdiafs

Iememoer our DISTINGUISHED condition we are
forced 10 the conclusion that the condnctiny ~
municipal elections, and the MANAGEMENT of o.,
Corporation affairs upon national polItical pr.n.

any such principle That the general Interest OF
the town has been more or less Injured by a.
