H EVENING NEWS.


CoyrREp.-The two shafts in the vi
cinity of the oyermsn mine, Of which
we made mention a few days since,
have been covered with two thicknesses
of finch plank, by Marshal Cummings,
who is always punctual to attend to
every duty imposed on him by virtue of
his Office. We would suggest to our
Town Trustees that an ordinance be
passed making it a penal ofense for any
mining or prospecting company, within
the corporate limits Of the Town to al
low any shaft to remain open or nupro-
tected, when not used-and that the
premises be either substantially fenced
in or covered with heavy plank or tim
bers; and that whenever the Town Mar
shall is compelled TO so secure the prem
ises, that the cost be collected by a suit
from the owners of such ground claim
ed. II is not right that the taxpayers
of the corporation should be compelled
10 pay these expenses, not at least,
ofleuer than it can be helped. We hope
to see u Town authorities take some
action on this matter. We believe Vir-
giuia City has such an ordinance.
ALE DorEs, on yesterday, showed
US a copy of a paper from old Plymouth
plymouth Rock we should say, in or
der to be distinctly understood.) II is
not such an old paper as you might
imagine,-ouly IS years of age. But it
cometh from We yerymost ancient seat
of our forefathers. We lookedthe jour
nal over, with ALI, and agreed, COM
placently, that they did not know how
10 get up a paper, III the old homes OF
the East. As ALI remarked: 10 an
Eastern couulry paper, you have 10
look to the advertisements for local
news. Sill, It WAS something border
ing on sS'seusatiou" to us,-reading q
paper from old Plymouth.

woop AND TIxsER.-Empire City is

the Emperor Norton style of self-impor-
ance. Yesterday, Eve thousand cords
