! When a man advertises in the papers
to stake money on the result of an election,
he proposes to violate the laws of his coun-
try, and as the laws of the States regard
betting on elections as gambling, he also
advertises himself blackleg and gambler.
Don't bet on elections or anything else, for
its bad habit.
There is good deal of dissatisfaction
on the part of portion of our citizens with
our town Council for purchasing the Bah
cock Fire Engine. Those who are dissatis-
fed think the engine will be found INSULT
cient for the purposes for which it was pur
chased, and seem to be disposed to repudi
ate the contract. A meeting was held a
the Court House on Monday evening, wher,
opinions in relation to the utility of the en-
gine were expressed pro and con, but a
we did not attend the meeting we do no
know exactly what business was trans
acted.
There is a worthless drunken clas
of printers rowing about the country dc
pending upon the charity of country news
paper publishers for their living and
they can get work, they will work no lor
ger than it requires to get little none.
then they are ready to quit, and spend the
money for whisky and beg something
eat. We are bothered with this class
paupers nearly every week, and they hav
), become to us, as we presume they have
our brother publishers throughout Il
country, regular nuisance, and we advi
- these scamps to give our office wide bir
in the future. There is no need of nj
who are good for anything, spending the
lives, and imposing upon industrious pc
a pie in this way. If they are good for an
OF thing they can get employment at sor
cf kind of business, and if they are drunk
wandering vagabonds, they have no rig
( to ask anybody for charity. Go to wo
at something; take up the shovel, the hC
the corn-cutter, the plow-handles, or
any kind of labor to obtain an hon'
living, and don't think you can't do an
thing but set type. If you can't get e
ployment at one thing try another, be
~ man, and don't be degraded, drunk
wandering, despised loafer. If you ca
get employment at high price, take Ii
price, or go to work at any price, and if y
- can earn good price you will eventual
r get it. Go to work, and if you can
nothing but your boarding, be sober a
industrious, and you need not beg.
