A RICH little passage took
place, this evening, in the Sen.
ate, between Mr. Holden OF
Perry and Mr.. Jones, OF Vinton.
The former gentleman opposed
the bill compelling railroad
companies to fence their roads
on both sides. and said if a
cow should be on a railroad
track that was fenced in she
would certainly be killed,
whereas if there were no fence
she could run away when she
saw the train coming. To this
Mr.. Jones replied thai it re-
minded him of the man who
refused to get The holes in his
boots sewed up, because when
water got in them be wanted
it to run ont again. The sober
Senate enjoyed the joke hear

MayOr's Message.

To THE HONORABLE CoUNCIL:-
1t is made the duty of the
Mayor, by the provisions o.
section 122 Of the Municipal
Code, to lay before the Coun
Gil at its first regular meeting
in the month Of April, in each
year, and at such other times
as he may deem expedient, the
affairs of the corporation, and
recommend such measures as
10 him may seem proper. In
discharging such duty he wish.
es to call your attention to the
following:
/. To the filthy condition
and appearance of the streets
and alleys Of the Village, and
he earnestly recommends you
10 take some measures for the
purpose OF clearing and keep
ing the town more cleanly.
2. lie wishes to call your
attention 10 the fact that the
corporation is without a pound
in which to lmpound stock
found at large in violation oil
the law, and it therefore rem
ders it impossible Tor the Mar
shall to attend to his sworn du-
ty, aud impound stock so found;
and he ctfullyrecommends
that you give the subject
your early attention, and it is
hoped that you may purchase
a lot and prepare a pound for
the Village.
8. The Police regulations
are insufficient for the purpose
of preserving good order at all
times in the village, for the
reason, as he thinks, OF the in-
sufIiciency of the Marsaals
salary. 1t is therefore, recon-
mended for.you consideration,
whether il will not be an ad>
vantage, and for the good of
society, to pay the Marshal a
sufficient salary so that, TO.
gether with his fees now
allowed by law, will increase
his salary, so as to enable
HIM to pay his entire time and
attention to the duties Of his
office. 1t Is therefore, recon-
mended for your consideration
The passage Of an ordinance to
provide salary for the Mar
shall of about $500, to be paid
out of the corporation treasury;
that he may be required to be
ON the street from Z or s o.
clock, A. NJ. until 8 or 10
o'clock, p. M. on ordinary days,
and on any special or e1traor-
dinary occasions, until u or l
o'clock at night.
4. 1t is recommended for
your consideration, the pro
priety of materially changing
the ordinances of the village
so they will conform to the
provisions of the Municipal
Code of Ohio.
In conclusion he wishes to
say that he ieels under many
obligations to the old Council
for their kind and courteous
treatment during the past year,
and he hopes the same kind
and friendly relations may still!
exist during the balance Of his
time as Mayor and have to
preside over the deliberations
OF Council. WIN. MARK.
