WEYBRIDaE.--D Dear Register:-As the
time draws near for the election of town
officers it is important that we give the
matter more than passing thought.
With us the Office of First Constable is
connected with special interest, as the
official conduct Of the present incumbent
has at times proved far from satisfactory
to many substantial citizens. l would
like to name man for the place who is
an intelligent Christian gentleman
practical, consistent temperance advocate;
of correct and thorough business capacity;
Of an unblemished reputation in private,
social and public life, who will give entire
satisfaction to every reasonable man.
Such is Mr.. Nathan H. Parkill Gentle
men vote for him. X.
WHTTING.-A man recently hired horse
Of j. b. and Abel Walker OF Whiting,
and returned at night with "three sheets
in the wind and the fourth Autscring."
He went to the stable to put out his horse
and during the process he staggered
against another horse who didn't like the
proximity of the drunken brute and so
signiied his disgust by kicking him dis
lance Of eight or ten feet, where the poor
fellow lay for some time. At length re-
covering, he made his way to the house
and entered his complaint to Mr.. Walk.
er.-"Your horse has kicked me sensi.
Ne"! Mr.. Walker with difficulty repres-
sing his laughter, simply said, 1 hope so.
1t is matter worth considering whether,
if the horse has such true instincts and
such natural sagacity as this action indi-
Gates, he ought not to be freed from the
restraints which now prevent his running
at large in the public streets.
