wick, of A. T. Way and other persons
praying for law relating to fowls. The
petitioners set forth that they regard the
custom of allowing fowls to go at large as
fruitful source of evil and an intolerable
nuisance; that the people of the State an
nually lose thousands and tens of thou
sands of dollars by its continuance, but
that the pecuniary loss is not the worst as
pect of the case. They do not deem it q
matter for wonder that kind-hearted
neighbors and good citizens should be
provoked by the wanten, repested and un-
redressed injuries inflicted upon them by
fowls that they should gradually allow
the demon of selfshness to enter their
hearts and turn love into hatred that the
peace of neighborhoods should be disturb.
| ed, that men of high standing and moral
influence, patiently suffering and forbear-
ing until "forbearance ceases to be yir-
tue" should, under the impulse of sudden
provocation, swear who never swore be-
fore, and thus corrupt the morals of the
youth of our State. Let US have peace"

was no other way to compel the attend
ance of children upon school but to send
them to the Reform School.

should be some provision to compel the
attendance of children upon school, and
not allow so many children to run at
large and not receive the BENEFIT of our
schools. He thought it better to send
boys to the Reform School, rather than
have them put in Jail to lay until the
Governor pardoned them out. He hoped
the amendment would not be adopted.

to boys, but girls might be sent to the Re
form School under its provisions, where
they will be brought under such influence
