Mr.. Editor:-We do not propose to enter into
any controversy whatever in the matter of re-
pairs on Portland Bridge, nor shall we consider
worthy of notice any thrusts that may be hereaf-
ter as heretofore made. in regard to the same,
but as your question in yesterdays issue: Is
there no way, Messrs. Commissioners, to post
pone this work until October p being received,
as considered put in good faith, therefore is
deemed worthy of notice., and our answer is
No for the reason that public safety and the
interest of the County demand that said work
should be done without delay. Also, being sat
isfied were it practicable to postpone until the
time mentioned, that serious objections would
be raised, we shall proceed to make such re-
pairs as deemed necessary in the least possible
time to complete good job, and then take lie
gal measures to protect the same from abuse
by fast driving which is the main cause of so
much complaint, more especially by pleasure
seekers for being deprived of their race course
and the enormous expense by those who pay
the bills GEO. E. CHADBoURNE,
Chairman of Comfy Commissioners.

Frenchman has invented new kind of brick,
which can be used without mortar. In the ex-
tremlties of each bllek are pressed or cut dove
tailed mortises, which, when the former are placed
end to end, come tJgether. Into these portions Z
connecting piece OF suitabls form is slipped,
which holds the bricks tightly together, mortar Il
such points being merely auxiliary. BuilaeFs' Oi
bogus houses, in which the mortar is little bettoE

shootlnR PeopIeIn Fun.

Those foolish people who are addicted to pick
ing up guns and pistols which are supposed to be
unlOaded and rusty, and pointing them at their
best friends with the playful remark, "Look out,
am going to shoot you now" and then shooting
them sure enough, are to be checked in their ia
vorite amusement. The Legislature at its last
session enacted law which makes such idiotic
pastimss expensive. For the mere pointing of q
hrearm at person, Intentionally but without NAL
ice, the handler of the weapon is liable to fiue Of
between Eve and fifty dollars. To discharge =
hrearm at person, though without inalctihg in
Jury, constitutes a misdOmeanor and subjects the
humorist to fine OF one hundred dollars and a
years imprisonment in jail The manning or ia
juring of person through the discharge of FIRE
arm, Intentionally but without malice, IS punlsha-
BILE by two years in Jail ; and besides, the wound
cd person, his or her heirs and representatives,
may recover damages from the shooter. This is an
excellent and much-needOd law, and We hope that
the first person in this State who breaks It will be
arrested and made to suffer for an example 10 all
his fellow noodles. Aside from the risk of fatal
conseq in sRapping the look Of hEsarm with
a rusty charge in itpOint blank at human being
there is a want of good manners in poking such {
weapon at one. Formerly, the correct thing VA
to knock deWn the ill., bred person with = chair Of
other handy object. Now, happily, the Law take
up the eudgsl tor the victims Of earslsssnesS anC

Nothing can be more "naturATT than that the

insane idea that it was necessary to the professions
OF his insultsd and injured mother, should have
the sympathles OF sentimental people, Yet few
things can be more fruitful of mischief than 10
make pets or heroes Of the perpetrators Of roman
tlO murderers. This young man must have had q
badly balanced moral training, or else must have
been addicted to the reading Of mock heroic nov
els There Is mischief enough aAoat from perni-
cious literature without adding 70 it by making
heroes out OF sentimental avengers, who resent
insults by perpetrating murder. There is but
one consideration that should withhold a sharp
demand for holding this young man to the sever
est penalty OF the law; and that is sympathy for
his afflicted mother. She is doubiy the victim
first Of her husbands cOwArdly Insults, and then
OF the crazy attempt Of her son to right heI
