A BAD BEoISSrso. MAKES A BAD ESDHo.-
There are quite a number of halfgrown boys
running loose In our streets who SHOULD be
kept at home, if they have homes, and IL not,
they should be apprenticed or taken Ia charge
of by people who can afford, To give them
enough TO live on for their services and check
the life of Incidence and dissipation they are
now leading. II has been a frequent occur
renee for these young rascals to skulk up to
our business places and fruit stands and
steal trihing articles. A bad beginning in life
will undoubtedly lead TO n bad end, and it is
the duty of our citizens to see that these neg
lected youths are in some way cared e. for
and mrnishtdwith the necessary Subsistence
to keep them from running at large and steal
/. ing their living. Parents who have children
ought, for the, sake of Responsibility, TO keep
them ut home under their charge. The poor
boot-blnck boys, who are deprived OF home
.. influences, are not so much to blame, for often
the want of bread leads them To stealthily go
I. after food; but for town boys who have homes.
I. there is no excuse. Parents should look after
their offspring i'.

UNsUsPECTED SOURCES OF INFECTION.
Now that infectious diseases are some

Much of the work performed by tailors

geon assures us that he has often seen the
best work being made up in the same
room where cases of scarlatina, measles,

propagated also by means of linen wash

crowded courts and alleys, where the
proper conveniences for washing and dry

discharges the balls by machinery, which
executes continuous fire, and thus re-

Westminster and Walpole Free
Rri1op

Bridge.
Mr.. EpuoR:-Controversy may not be
pleasant to you or many of your patrons,
upon local matters which at present is ex-
citing the town of Wcstminstei-but since
it has been invited, we do not propose to
drop the subject and lett go to the pub
lie without disclosing further facts rela-
tive to the matter and also re-affrm some
statements already made which your
correspondent Of last week terms as "as-
sumptons gorged with inaccuracy," and
first, we will pledges vote of nine-tenths
Of the legal voters in our parish in sup
port Of free bridge so far as the juris-
diction of our town or State, gees, which
statement carries with it the second item
that we acknowledge the utility of free
bridge; third that the town has been
proceeding illegally and are so informed
by legal council and as the town records
stand, will we think be proved to be ille-
gal. If it that be certain number ofthe
inhabitants of East Parish have bonded
themselves to support and carry out the
scheme, Gas we understand to be the
case) then we have not a word to offer
agains the enterprise, but would bid
them God speed.
But to put stop to the illegal pro-
ceedings and the consequent endless
trouble in the collection of taxes the in
habtants of Westminster have caused
an INDUCTION to be served upon the select
men to prevent their acting in behalf of
the town of Westminster, and this is done
by the assistance and counsel of a num-
Der of the East Parish voters, men too
who are largely interested in the build
ing of free bridge when it can be done
upon correct principles, men too who
are stockholders in the present bridge
Company, and they at last accounts re-
fused to give up their stock in a scheme
fraught with so much corruption, (per-
haps should say, goryed with corrup-
tion). Threats and promises have been
freely used to bring men into the traces,
and many men who but few days be-
fore our last townmeeting declared them
selves as opposed to the scheme in 'toto,"
came up and voted for it, and also an
unlimited appropriation from the town
treasury, and by so doing small major
ity was gained. This is what your cor
respondent of last week calls fully re-
solved upon by the town Of Westminster.
If he had said it was fully resolved
upon by part of East Parish we would
cheerfully have given him the credit for
once having spoken the truth. Injustice
to the second Selectman, we should state
that he is not participating in the least
in this scheme, but all the business is
done by the first and third Selectmen,
one of whom framed and brought to our
March meeting, resolution identically
the same as we are willing to support
and he then advocated that view of the
matter, to build all the bridge that may
be found to be in Vermont This is
where we now stand. $50 give the dew

The PERILs OF FALSE HAIR.-The

to the presence of insects in the bark
switches so generally worn. Some doubt
ed the facts stated. We can assure all
doubling Thomases that the fact was
even SO. A well known physician of
city has shown us twoof these loathsome
creatures, which were found in switch
of lady in Auburn, exhibited to him,
and transferred to a glass vial, where
they can be seen with the naked eye
Under the microscope their appearance
is hideous. They have brown, pointed
head, any number of legs, fuzz ON the
back, and crawl along with a wriggle
something like caterpillar. They APP
pear to resemble the centipede family
The lady who discovered these had had
trouble with her head for some weeks,
but did not at first think of her switch
containing the cause. The back of her
head was punctured and sore. The in.
sect appears to burrow in the head like a
wood-tick. The switch from which these
we're taken had previously been subject
ed to half hours steaming, but the
creatures were as lively as crickets.-
Another smaller kind has been found,
which skip about like heas.
