CHASING TIE SHARPERs. -Ihe VaSran'
law now enforced by the Superintendent OF
of Police has severely agitated scores OF
St. Charles street loafers, who know that
the law is for them in particular. Now that
they are liable to be incarcerated any mo-
ment they stop second to reflect what
they are-the conclusions are unpleasant.
In vain they call themselves clerks, in vain
they try to persuade themselves that they
are not bad fellows, but ornaments to that
great thoroughfare. A few who have been
subject to arrest were plain enough to put
their occupation down as gamblers, whale
another was fatter and answered that he
was thief. One of two things must hap
pen-either these sharpers, thieves ana
drones must make hasty departure or go
to prison. That is settled fact between
the police and the Recorders.

SALISBURY.

The labor on the railroad through this town which was commenced so vigorously last fall, is now almost entirely suspended.
 The contractors, with single exception. have failed to fulfil their contracts, and,
 one after another, they have drawn their pay for the whole amount of labor performed and gone, it is supposed, "where the woodbine twineth," to avoid meeting the demands of their creditors. MT. John Kelley, the contractor for the Chapinville section ; struggled on until last week when he was forced to succumb and follow the examples of his predecessors Mir. K. took the pre- caution to remove his personal property during the night, which ensures him an unusual quantity of imprecations from his creditors, to whom he was indebted nearly $1, 500. e A farmers meeting was held in Acade- my Hall on Wednesday evening last, to consider the project of establishing a cheese factory in this village. The atten- uduCO WdS 4ultO 1nk SOs oAA0 @ANASAAA ency of the weather prevented many who
 were interested in the project from being present. After some statistics had been read and discussed. showing the results of cheese making in several places, it was voted that a committee be appointed to ascertain the number of COWS that could be obtained, and that second meeting be held on the following Tuesday evening.
 The sentiment of the farmers was clearly
 in favor of erecting factory, but some difference of opinion exists in regard to the location, winch it is desirable should be reconciled before the next meeting.
 At the Republican caucus held on Sat- urday, Oliver Jewell and Daniel Cook, were nominated as candidates for Repre- sentatives. .o .+

Strictly speaking old Cornwall has pas- sed quiet winter. Chief among the few exceptions is the Farmers Clnb which has been held fortnightly. Since the orgari- zation of this pleasant and profitable soci. ety, no winter has excelled the past in the interest manifested. Subjects both prac- tical and scientific have been duly discuss- ed. Much of the interest is due to the ability of our efficient officers, Messrs Gold and Brewster. The first meeting was held at Mir.
