"When in the course Of human events
person becomes thirsty, and resorts to
the iron pump in the well on the corner of
Court and Main streets, for water to slack
his thirst, and after laboring at the handle
diligently for the space of an indefinite
number of minutes for. water, but none
cometh, his case becomes intolcrab1e, and
his angry passions rise, as they naturally
will, under difficult circumstances of this
peculiarly trying kind; therefore be it
Reso1ued, That the Iron Pump in the
public well on the corner of Court and Fay
ette streets is a public nuisance and ought
to be removed from said well and a pump
placed in it that will throw cool, clear wa
ter, copeously, to the end that the thirsty
may be cooled and comforted, and thereby
avoid the use of naughty language.
Adopted unanimously and the meeting
adjourned.

SUGAR GROVE, May 25, 1871.
EDS. HEEALD:-Corn planting is over in
this vicinity. We have a few days to spend
in fishing hunting, and visiting, before our
fields will again require our attention. As
l have not sufficient patience to fish and
am too lazy to hunt and have no friends
or relations that desire me to visit them, /
thought [ would spend portion of my
leisure time in letting the public know
through the HERALD, what the people of
our neighborhood are doing. We have a
pike under process of construction, known
as the Anderson road, contracted by Bon
ham & Irion, and engineered by VIM. A.
King. A good quality of gravel is found
near the road. It is a well-constructed,
thirty-foot grade, and bids fair to be one of
the best roads in the County. Some of
the principal petitioners along the road
seem to be dissatisfied, which, however, is
the case with all pixies or road improve
ments. They claim that the petition calls
for a twenty-five foot road, but was chang
ed by the Commissioners to thirty feet
These poor men owning from so to 900
acres of land seem to value the additional
eight feet to the width of the road moro
than the 900 acres that goeth not astray.
Our Sabbath school is doing as well as
could be expected We have. an average at
tendance of sixty-fye scholars and a full
corps of officers and teachers, except super
intendent. Mr.. Kings time having expired
Mr. Isaac johnson was elected, but as ht

information Wanted.

EDS. HERALD:-The undersigned wishes
to enquire of the managers of the Baptist
Sabbath School, of this place, if young
children attending that school are liable to
prosecution for any little misbchavior or
violation of the rules of the school, such as
whispering, laughing, or similar conduct
which is perfectly natural to all children
Or is it the place of Teachers to watch over
the children and preserve order. What is
the object of Sunday Schools?
