IMPROPER CONDUCT OF BoYs-We regret to hear
that cbunkiDg buildings with stones, breaking windows
and endangering wholly unoffending PERSONS even
excepting ladies' has become altogether too prevalent
among some of the boys in town, who ought to know
better and to do better Surely their parents ought
take this matter in hand. Boys inciued to be rowdy
think such conduct makes them appear quite manly
They could make no greater mistake. 1t makes them
any thing else We do trust that those having the
troll of the rising generation will to it for their
future peace as we'll the good OF their children, that
a stop is put to such things
Complaint we learn has been made to His Honor
the Mayor and be requests say that the utmost
rigor of the law will be enforced against al; Offenders
so that the peace and quiet Of the town, and the
fort OF citizens may be interrupted by thoughtess
or evil disposed boys.
RYEo CoFFGE-We have always heard that it was
rather uncertain business to buy ground coffee, as
the chances tor successful adulteraton much
greater than when the unground berry was purchased
1t is doubly so now. Economy and the necessity of
finding some substitute Tor coee may, and indeed, do
lead prudent persons to mix up rye, Indian corn and
potatoes duly parched with their coffee; aud real
y the flavor is remarkably good, all things considered
We think the cake left after the oil has been squeezed
out of ground peas, would be a valuable ingredient
when properly parcbed The ground pea, with the oil
in it, would not do SC well. small modcum of coffee
ground with tie will give it the aroma, and very
pleasant beverage will no doubt be produced But why
should any houekeeper buy any papers purpotng to be
ground Coffee when it evident that the article sold
is simply such composition as anybody may make at
home for half the price asked, and have it fresh
Skilled Labor
The man who can make good gun to shoot with
would really be doing better service by staying at home
and making guns than by going off to the to shoot
with gun, while many thousands waiting fol
thousands Of guns
Skilled workmen on railroad work would also serve
the essentially at work in their shops thar
they do in camp, for work be done to keep thu
machinery of transportation in order. Without trans
portaon the army cannot be supplied kept efficient
and without skilled workmen to to the repairs
efficiency of the locomotives and rolling STOCK transpor
tation cannot be satisfactorily carried on.
So in many other departments. We may think, ant
DO think that this struggle cannot last over secon
winter But this is only thinking-it is not knowing
If the war is to be long must go to work a
to develope manufacturing and productive in
dustry suffer. We need not calculate with any
fdence upon European intervention for part
we do not We must wrestle this thing out and W
must put our houses in order that may do wit

E at that close be truly independent.

Watchman at the earnest request of their feowctzen
