Monday last being a day suitable,
tho Spring fights opened in our quiet
village quite lively. About 4 O'Clock
in the evening "bust-hcad and Pixies
Magnolia" could no longer hold in, so
they raised a considerable muss in the
"shop under our office. The crowd
was dense and would remind II OF
fish shoaling at this scason With
much difficulty the parties were kept
at arms length. We think their
friends were interfering with whisky
instead of sober men. OF all the Bit
ter oaths we ever heard uttered by
man, those we heard on Monday last
were rather the bitterest. Such would
not be the cause, had we no rum shops
in our midst. Good and sober men
are often made to blush and feel bad
by seeing their friends leaving such
places drunk. So it is not only the
mar that drinks that is the sufferer but
his friends. +
